Oil spurted from a drilling site north of the Dead Sea recently. Drilling partners, Ginko Oil Exploration and Lapidot (20%) estimate they have about 6.5 million barrels of crude oil, worth about US $300 million.

A previously unknown group, calling itself the Huda (“guidance”) Army Organization, threatened to kill all Christians in the Gaza Strip. “We will target all crusaders in the Gaza Strip,” the group announced by leaflet.

Now, only a few years later, most of those same nations seem united in a spirit of complacency and inactivity against the Axis of Evil. This trend has and continues to allow these nations to build up and arm themselves with some of the most deadly weapons known to man. Growing Islamic fanaticism only fans the fire for these nations to use them against Allah’s enemies. A current investigation of some of these Axis of Evil nations shows that Israel and the world could be in for prophetic times ahead.

And, of course, there are those who have lost loved ones, and their lives will never be the same.

Life in Ukraine was hard for her and her husband. Sometimes they “had only bread and water to live on and went on foot to work, as there was not money for public transport fees.” They had no money to pay for utilities, and their debt grew. There was no money for home repair, so after ten years, “our apartment looked like a shed.” Proper food and new clothes were like a “far off dream” for them. “I went mad,” she said whenever she thought of ways to improve their life, because there were no options.
