And just like that Egypt and Saudi Arabia joined BRICS. While not covered in Western media (heads in the sand) this will precipitate some global changes for sure.
I agree with you on the timing. It seems to all be culminating together, simultaneously.
The resistance to this culmination is getting comical in its absurdity.
BRICS will give way to our new gold backed money and the death of fiat petro dollar.
And as many other revelations and changes take place and less than stellar actors are cleaned out of Israel and other countries wealth will flow back to we the people.
This endeavor of Zion Oil is connected to the global blessings coming after the clean out.
Everyone together now: That is one incredibly profound post.
Right now the BRICS nations are meeting. What started out as 5 has ballooned to many more. Among this group are some of the highest oil producing nations in the world ie Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran who is seeking membership, and I’m guessing Venesuala eventually. One thing they have in common is disgust for the United States. If they should decide to stop exports to the western nations, and with the greenies in control, where would we turn? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a country friendly to the west that had a never-ending supply of oil, ready to sell? Could this be why He has stopped Israel from going any further with us until everything was set-up for a monumental discovery! “…I will bring you lasting prosperity; the wealth of the nations will FLOW to you like a river that never goes dry”. GNV
Yup. Quote some bible verses. "Talk" to god. Post some "wisdom". Watch the $ come rolling in! Stock-scam evangelism.
i hear the god business pays pretty well.
i hear the god business pays pretty well.
As long as shareholders gullibly support this fraud, the fraudsters have no incentive to do anything else.
I would hope that we will hear from Zion by the end of this month.
At some point they will have to stop stringing us along and lay all the cards on the table even if they are going to play the "blame game" of the which, historically, they are notorious for.
I think they are way past collecting FREE paychecks long enough.
John Brown's concern is screwing shareholders for self-enrichment. His koo-koo religious Affinity-Scam has made him a wealthy man.
John Brown is probably worried about you as well.
Is it Argot or what ..... no wonder I could not find it
Thank you .... i saw that Coin as well. But where does give the distances ? That map could cover the entire Middle East or a football field sized area next to Jordan.
but who cares....i'm buying one.... Thanks
This is a 10-agora piece. It is a new Israeli coin. And what does it show? The Jewish seven-branched candelabrum against the background of an incredible map: an outline shows the region which goes from the Mediterranean to Mesopotamia, from the Red Sea to the Euphrates. It is a glaring demonstration of Zionist aspirations.

John Brown is probably worried about you as well.
The character I'd worry about is John Brown and his minions.
He's making you guys look like a ...., well, okay, I won't say it if it reflects badly on my character.
But by October, you should know it.
You did not miss much and it's partly my fault.... i did not copy and paste that part of Bruce's verbiage.
Bruce was simply giving a very formal presentation of "The History of the Israeli Mint" and how they minted a Coin that had an image of Israel as a Country on it and if you transcribed this image to a map ...Israel would stretch into the Saudi Arabia Kingdom.
i did as he requested and searched for this coin, but to no avail. And I also requested that he post a link or information to how I could attain one. As you might have guessed already, very loud Crickets.
So next time I will copy and paste the information from Bruce to which I am referring as so many on this Board have done in the past. I loathe when I want to review a discussion and half the posts are deleted.
I am still hoping that Bruce can come up with this Phantom Coin so I can purchase one. --- but I am seriously having my doubts. I had such high expectations.
Typical red herring response. My point had to do with your comment about being entertained when others are hurt. I just cannnot comprehend how you or anyone else can get any satisifaction out of other peoples suffering. What if your predictions about October or whatever are wrong and Zion is successful? Would that ruin you "entertainment?"
It is a bummer when I arrive to a post that was deleted. My thoughts are, I missed something good.
Anyone else have this thought?
Bruce....oh Brother !!!! I researched the Israeli Coins pursuant to your request.
I did not find ONE Israeli Coin that has a mapping of the State of Israel on the Coin....ZERO
I searched for ANY COIN WORLD WIDE that has a mapping of the State of Israel.....ZERO
I searched for ANY COIN WORLD WIDE with a mapping of Israel on either side......ZERO
I searched for OLD COINS of Israel and looked at them all.....ZERO
I searched for NEW COINS of Israel and looked at them all.....ZERO
I searched on the Dark Web.......ZERO
And per your instructions: If you sketch it out.... how are you getting the size correct or the Legend indicating Kilometers?
Closest thing I could find ..... was this one.... and it could be a map of Jerusalem or wherever.

Where are you getting your information???? CNN ???
So Bruce ....
Please post the link... to the image of the Coin you found. Seriously...I would really like to see it myself.
OR..... your Bologna Sandwich Comments are completely UNTRUE ??
This is why you don't post any links.....because there is ZERO information to back up your claims.
I personally would like to see this coin because I would buy one.
The Best search was for "THE COINS OF ISRAEL" and here is the best link:

He's making you guys look like a ...., well, okay, I won't say it if it reflects badly on my character.
But by October, you should know it.
Interesting you use the word "perhaps" 3 times. This is the first I have heard anyone suggest the Company could be "targeted.: Perhaps, you are correct or perhaps you are conjuring things out of thin air.
I can agree with that. Win lose or draw. Let's get on with it.
Yes, the liberals trying to give more power to the Supreme Court by limiting legislative power. Typical liberal socialist play action. They only want the green agenda not oil and gas.
How does that happen?
This post really speaks to your character. To say loss experienced by others will be tons of entertainment is beyond imagination. Would you really "get you kicks" out of other peoples' misery?
Can't wait 'til October 2023, to read this message board. You all have to know what's going to happen. For a few, it will be tons of entertainment. For the rest, well, they can join 25,000 other families from the past, join them in despair, discouragement, disillusionment, and depression. It's not like you don't know about the history of this company, like for the past 23 years, now, is it?
You got me on the date. Did you get my point? I could have googled it, had I known that fact checking is your thing when it is convenient.
And just like that you prove you haven't a clue. 3000 years?
So you really need to check on your dates pal.
Nonetheless, it really is up to what God wants, it's all in His hands.
Spoiler....it's roughly 2000 years for the scrolls, it tends to prove the Word has been preserved.
Ah if we only knew whom the scrolls were meant for.
And just like that, it is back to religion again.
Is it really faith when you get paid 6 figures for most of your adult life for having "faith" in a vision one believes was sent from god? And almost everyone that believed in the vision, has taken one for the team so to speak.
Dead seas scrolls showed up 3,000 years later in a cave because 3,000 years ago God had someone place them there free of charge knowing they would be discovered during our lifetime.
Oh ye of little faith, how dare you speak words of abomination like this...
Personal attacks...
Stock shorters...
Detractors and heathens...
Israel haters...
Meanwhile, some folks are laughing their ass off cashing some big checks, and smoking cigars at the pool...
Call a company meeting!!!! Why aren't we raising more money boys??? Dilute, dilute, dilute...whatever it takes! Get that money coming in fellas! Higher commissions and a fat bonus to whoever raises the most money!!!
Anyone about to die, get shares donated! 15% overrides on proof of estate planning with money donated...
(Satire)
I would hope that we will hear from Zion by the end of this month.
At some point they will have to stop stringing us along and lay all the cards on the table even if they are going to play the "blame game" of the which, historically, they are notorious for.
I think they are way past collecting FREE paychecks long enough.
Who will get the blame? It will be the liberals in Israel, as well as the climate fanatics - people who wouldn't let Netanyahu approve the lease. We will believe that even though Israel clearly told us two years ago, no new leases. And they have always said: no fracking.
I have no idea how the concept that Israel was going to change it's mind happened. Note the first new lease application was May 11, 2022, six months before the more conservative Netanyahu government took power. So the reason for the application happened AFTER the application for a new lease was made. How's that for convenience and a ready person to blame?
Good try, but nadda.
I have eyes and a brain.
I guess it doesn't matter as we all know who wins in the end. Znog is irrelevant to that fact, yet it's on His timing, not ours.
The battle was won on a tree.
$283 Million deficit!! YIKES!
ZNOG has an accumulated deficit of $283 MILLION!
<< From the company insider's viewpoint, wouldn't that perhaps be a better strategy than having investors being realistic as to where the money has actually all gone??? >>
ZNOG has an accumulated deficit of $283 MILLION!
That is a LOT to account for....
Perhaps the corporate mission is to confuse their investors into thinking their own failure to find oil lies outside their control?
Confuse them into thinking the company is perhaps "targeted"??
From the company insider's viewpoint, wouldn't that perhaps be a better strategy than having investors being realistic as to where the money has actually all gone???
"Funny, both of these are intertwined in Zion Oil"
It's the company itself that intertwines those subjects into their "corporate mission".
I still own many shares and have never sold one, yet. However, I have to call a spade a spade. If I seen them otherwise, I would promote them like others do but I cannot in good conscience do that right now.
Kind of like they could be a target of something no?
it's yours' and Freedom's mission in life. To be the only two nay sayers about ZN on the Planet.
enjoy
Zion Oil might be the unluckiest company on the planet. Literally, hundreds of very positive press releases, everywhere you look. Chat discussions, money, and massive support - photos, phone calls, original IPO investors testimonials, grand videos, Facebook support: all very optimistic, positive, enthusiastic, year after year. YET IT ALL COMES TO NOTHING.
What is going on?
Reading this message board is like watching an illegal 1930s gambling competition called "the badger game", where the bet is NOT does the hound dog get the badger, rather, how many times does the hound dog go for the badger (and get's seriously bit in the nose in the process) before it figures out, it just ain't gonna get that badger.
Guys, you just ain't gonna get that their badger.
So back to the past. No more political and religious chatter allowed. Things are going to be boring around here. Funny, both of these are intertwined in Zion Oil and play an important part and they cannot be discussed. Brilliant.
So you think...lol!!
You have a good day too.
I'm not supposed to laugh at this statement but there is one thing certain...something stinks...lol.
Well, its an interesting thought about said license. Why do they not have it yet?
I wonder if folks understand the politics at play in Israel? Regardless of whether the oil is there or not? Israel is not a wealthy country so to speak. I have said before that it is mostly secular. I was wrong, its about 35% or thereabouts.
So where was He buried? church of the Holy Sepulchre or the Garden Tomb?
Ah what a fascinating place.
Oh yes I do know people like you and know what ..... you're REALLY PREDICATBLE !!!
Have a great day bud !!!
In other words, you don't know shit from shinola which is typical of anyone bending over backwards to be stupid in support of an impending short loss.
So in other words, you are full of 💩.
Thank you for your response.
You are right there are some real crazies here. I doubt they shorted at .06, much higher though yes,
First of all I owe you nothing. Secondly, you wouldn't understand it anyway. Thirdly, I didn't say it was a great investment should you be able to read and comprehend I have stated many times it is a gamble especially in a foreign country.
And fourth and final, you evidently are nervous that your short position will erode should the company work out their financial hole which appears to be the case, and we get positive news as to permissions.
You are welcome neophyte.

ABOUT ZION OIL AND GAS COMPANY
Zion Oil & Gas is a U.S.-based corporation formed under Delaware law, exploring for oil and gas in Israel on licensed and permitted areas of approximately 99,000 acres located onshore between Tel Aviv and Haifa. Click on below link to find out more about Zion Oil & Gas.
COMPANY INFORMATION
In 1985, during a visit to Israel, John M. Brown (our founder and CEO) became inspired and dedicated to finding oil and gas in Israel, and he started the process that led to the Joseph Project. During the next fourteen years he made several trips each year to Israel, hired oil and gas consultants in Israel and Texas, met with Israeli government officials, made direct investments with local exploration companies, and assisted Israeli exploration companies in raising money for oil and gas exploration in Israel. This activity led Mr. Brown, together with others who had assisted him during those years, to form Zion Oil and Gas, Inc. in April 2000 in order to receive the award of a small onshore petroleum license from the Israeli government. Upon its formation, Mr. Brown and the others contributed to Zion all of the technical, economic, legal and financial data they had accumulated over the years relating to oil and gas exploration in Israel. We were reincorporated in Delaware on July 9, 2003. Though we have been around a long time, support for Israel, it is similar to the recent phenomena of social and ethical investing,where in crowd fundraising and otherwise people can choose investments which match their social & political, etc., outlook. To our knowledge those groups are not discriminatorily targeted because of their beliefs.

.
Nature of Operations as of November 2018
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation is an oil and gas exploration company with a history of 18 years of oil & gas exploration in Israel. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has no revenues from its oil and gas operations.
Zion maintains its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. We also have branch offices in Caesarea, Israel and Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of the Israel branch is to support the Company’s operations in Israel, and the purpose of the Switzerland branch is to operate a foreign treasury center for the Company.
Exploration Rights/Exploration Activities
The Company currently holds one active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the Megiddo-Jezreel License, comprising approximately 99,000 acres. The Megiddo Jezreel #1 (“MJ #1”) site was completed in early March 2017, after which the drilling rig and associated equipment were mobilized to the site. Performance and endurance tests were completed, and the MJ #1 exploratory well was spud on June 5, 2017, ahead of the June 30, 2017 deadline under the then-existing license terms. The MJ #1 well has been drilled to a total depth (“TD”) of 5,060 meters (approximately 16,600 feet). Thereafter, the Company obtained three open-hole wireline log suites (including a formation image log) and the well was successfully cased and cemented. The Ministry of Energy approved the well testing protocol on April 29, 2018. Testing of the well is ongoing and the Company expects that testing will be concluded in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Depending on the final outcome and results of the current MJ #1 well and having adequate cash resources, multiple wells could be drilled from this pad site as several subsurface geologic targets are reachable using directional well trajectories.
Megiddo-Jezreel Petroleum License, No. 401 (“MJL”)
The MJL was awarded on December 3, 2013 for a three-year primary term through December 2, 2016, with the possibility of additional one-year extensions up to a maximum of seven years. The MJL lies onshore, south and west of the Sea of Galilee, and the Company continues its exploration focus here as it appears to possess the key geologic ingredients of an active petroleum system with significant exploration potential. In late November 2016, The State of Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner officially approved Zion’s drilling date and license extension request.
On October 30, 2017, the Company sought a multi-year extension to its existing license. After receiving feedback from Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner, the Company submitted a revised extension request on November 9, 2017. On November 20, 2017, Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner officially approved the Company’s multi-year extension request on its Megiddo-Jezreel License No. 401, extending its validity to December 2, 2019. Until recently, the Company remained subject to the following updated key license terms:
No. | Activity Description | Execution by: | ||
1 | Submit final report on the results of drilling | 31 May 2018 | ||
2 | Submit program for continuation of work under license | 30 June 2018 |
On June 1, 2018, Zion submitted its Megiddo-Jezreel #1 End of Well Report (EOWR) for the MJL, thus fulfilling our item No. 1 Final Report license work plan obligation, shown above.
On June 14, 2018 Zion submitted its Application for Extension of Continued Work Program Due Date on the Megiddo-Jezreel License No. 401 . The additional time was necessary because the Company had still not completed testing and evaluating all planned testing zones. On July 1, 2018, Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner granted Zion’s work program report extension to November 1, 2018, as shown below.
No. | Activity Description | Execution by: | ||
1 | Submit program for continuation of work under license | 1 November 2018 |
On October 23, 2018 Zion submitted its Application for Extension of Continued Work Program Due Date on the Megiddo-Jezreel License No. 401 . The additional time was necessary because the Company had still not completed testing and evaluating all planned testing zones. On October 28, 2018, Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner granted Zion’s work program report extension to January 31, 2019.

Notes from November 20, 2018 Operational Update:
Given the thermal gradient, flow rates, surface pressure and low salinity, certain ministries within the Israeli government have made requests of Zion concerning the use of the well as a water monitoring well. Zion will review the economic impact and obligations as a result of this request to determine a prudent plugging plan.
•Zone 4;
?1,784-1,775 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
•Zone 5:
?1,232.5-1,228 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.

Zion Oil & Gas Purchases Drilling Rig for Israel Operations
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZN) announces they (i) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on March 12, 2020, for a drilling rig, drill pipe, and related equipment for $5.6 million in cash, and (ii) closed that purchase on March 12, 2020, the same day, by Bill of Sale from the seller to Zion.
On March 13, 2020, Zion paid the seller $4.6 million in cash and remitted the remaining $1.0 million in cash to an escrow agent to be held pending completion of acceptance testing of the rig upon its arrival in Israel.
“This is a new era for Zion and a positive step forward for our 2020 exploration plans,” Zion’s COO, Robert Dunn said. “With our asset based in the State of Israel, our planning and flexibility will become more robust.”
“We believe this is the right time for this to happen,” stated Zion’s President, Bill Avery. “Having cash budgeted and available for the purchase of this rig shows the strong support of our shareholders and evidence of God’s faithfulness.”
The rig is a 1600 horsepower AC Top Drive equipped rig with a twin 1600 horsepower mud pump system with a depth capability of 20,000 ft. The rig will be equipped with almost 15,000 ft of heavy 5” drill pipe along with associated well control equipment and inventory.
Actual rig pictured above. Currently stacked awaiting shipment to Israel. 1600 horsepower AC Top Drive equipped rig capable of 20,000ft depth.
The rig underwent a full CAT III & IV certification in late 2017, reassuring the quality of the rig and ancillary equipment, and it has drilled two wells since certification.
The rig and equipment will be imported into Israel from Romania, where the Drilling Rig is currently stored.
The State of Israel has currently imposed travel restrictions relating to the Coronavirus outbreak, including a requirement that any person arriving in Israel, including the operating crew for the rig, will currently need to undergo a two-week quarantine.
In addition, the ports of entry into Israel through which the rig will need to enter, may be undergoing work disruptions on account of the virus outbreak. Accordingly, it is not possible at the present time to accurately estimate the time or resources that may be necessary to import the Drilling Rig onto the well site or any delay arising as a consequence of the outbreak.
Zion Oil & Gas, a public company traded on NASDAQ (ZN), explores for oil and gas onshore in Israel on their 99,000-acre Megiddo-Jezreel license area.

ZN MJ#1 well finds active petroleum system that is not commercially productive. 3-D seismic testing in progress.
Zion Oil and Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which has an active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the Megiddo-Jezreel License (“MJL”), comprising approximately 99,000 acres, announces that it has completed the testing program of its primary zones located within the Jurassic and Cretaceous-age Formations of the Megiddo-Jezreel #1 (MJ #1) well. As a result of the testing, Zion has determined that the well is not commercially productive.
Given the thermal gradient, flow rates, surface pressure and low salinity, certain ministries within the Israeli government have made requests of Zion concerning the use of the well as a water monitoring well. Zion will review the economic impact and obligations as a result of this request to determine a prudent plugging plan.
•Zone 4;
1,784-1,775 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
•Zone 5:
1,232.5-1,228 meters flowed naturally and continuously to surface. The fluid characteristics obtained from monitoring samples taken while the well was flowing indicated low chloride water.
