Some notes from the book The New Temple and the Second Coming by Grant R. Jeffrey

I will post this so that everyone can read it, but it is actually in regards to a conversation I had with a friend recently. I couldn't remember all of the information to tell her and so said that I would post it. I do have to say that if you have not read this book than I HIGHLY recommend it!! I could not put it down. It is so full of information - fascinating!!

In this portion Mr. Jeffrey was talking about there being various places where prophecies refer to treasures being placed in the sea for Israel. Since Israel's rebirth scientists and engineers have developed enormous mineral resources from the Dead Sea. Here are some of the prophecies...........

Deuteronomy 33:19 - They shall call the people unto the mountain' there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.

Isaiah 45:3 - And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

Jeremiah 51:13 - O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of they covetousness.

Evidently in the 1930's the British Mandate authorities allowed a British company, Potash, Ltd. to set up a pumping and extraction plant that would recover some of the extraordinary mineral wealth from the Dead Sea. They pumped a slush like supersaturated liquid from a depth of 200 feet at the northern end of the Dead Sea. The liquid moved up a 36" pipe some 1200 feet up the side of mountains to the west of the Dead Sea. They had enormous evaporation pans near the top of the mountain. There were 5 huge pools arranged in a cascade like series, with each evaporation pan spilling over to the next lower pool. He said that the unusually high temperatures and high winds caused the slushlike material to evaporate, producing extremely pure sodium chloride (table salt, which is highly valuable). The residue was poured into the next evaporation pool and after evaporation produced magnesium chloride ( used in the manufacture of aluminum). Each additional evaporation pool produced another chemical separation: calcium chloride, potassium chloride, and finally magnesium bromide. Mr. Jeffrey made a calculated chart of the amount of chemicals to exist in the Dead Sea.

CHEMICAL EST> BILLION TONS PRICE PER TON TOTAL VALUE

Magnesium Chloride 22 $290 $6.38 Trillion

Sodium Chloride 11 $450 $4.95 Trillion

Calcium Chloride 5 $350 $1.75 Trillion

Potassium Chloride 2 $85 $170 Billion

Magnesium Bromide 1 $1280 $1.28 Trillion

TOTAL ESTIMATE 41 Over $14 Trillion

He said that to place this $14 Trillion in perspective, it is virtually equal to the annual gross national product of the US. So the Lord has not only brought His people back to their land, but He is motivating them to restore its ancient fertility and wealth as it was in the days of King David and King Soloman.
