Maybe you can get your grandchildren to build a Leprechaun Trap for you? Most elementary school children know if you pursue your pot of gold at the "end" of a rainbow, and that "end" keeps moving, you'll never get that pot of gold. That's why Leprechaun trap projects are so popular in grade school these days.
So, I have my fairy tale projects, and you have yours.
One has to a a little off center to keep doing what you do.
The POT of Gold at the End of Rainbow: As a young child, I was interested in finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Every time I saw a rainbow, I'd take note of where the rainbow would end. One day, my dad was driving and he said, look, there's a rainbow. As I looked at the rainbow, I noticed we were driving closer and closer to the rainbow, yet the ends of that rainbow just kept moving out, further and further away. Than, the entire rainbow just disappeared.
My guess is Zion Oil investors never experienced looking for that pot of gold as a child.
Hey Freedom..... Now i'm BLOCKING YOU !!!!! Just kidding - I would never block you !!!!
Nuthin' but Love Brotha .....
i have not sold any either....
So, ummm, have we hit oil yet? Are we finally wealthy? Or is it "just a matter of time or scherries! must be happening"? LOL!
No, I still haven't sold one share after all these years.
Would you believe that Zion has me blocked on Facebook? They must hate it when the truth is spoken except for the "truth" they generate.
Oh well, cherrio!
So will Zion..."soon"...."Any day now"🤣😂😅

In 2016, we will encounter that first significant commercial production of oil and gas. - V. Carrillo, Zion CEO
WITT NESSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssss !!!!!!!!!!
WHAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa Suuuuuuupppppppp !!!!!!
Just witnessed the prime minister of Israel meeting with president Trump of America on TV
Good strong relationship. America who found oil even in the artic, might now even add assistance to help find oil( America developed fracking)
in my opinion Israel with find oil in 2025
Can I get a witness
Who wouldn't want his nut-job spam??
I thought the signup for cell phone SMS text alerts in the John Brown email were a nice touch. I've never seen him do that before.
🤣😂Religious word-salad bullshit to placate the gullible...that's hilarious 😂
It's amazing how you can read his mind...... you are truly a genius.
<< E-Mail from John Brown >>
He wants more money from poor unsuspecting shareholders....
sometimes change brings over all change
I believe oil will be found and bless ISRAEL in 2025
New appointment

Effective April 2, 2025, Michael B. Croswell Jr., age 54, was appointed to serve as President and will continue in his role as Chief Financial Officer. He began working at Zion in April 2011 as its corporate controller and was later promoted to Chief Financial Officer in August 2016. Mr. Croswell is a corporate accounting and management professional with a diverse range of industry experience. Mr. Croswell is a Certified Public Accountant since 1997 and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1994 and earned a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Dallas in 2013. Pursuant to Zion’s succession plan, William Avery, age 77, is stepping down from his interim position as President effective April 2, 2025, and continuing his full- time position as General Counsel
I woke up this morning thinking about the Bronte Capital lawsuit with Zion Oil. Do you remember the lawsuit back in about 2009? Bronte Capital was a hedge fund that had shorted a bunch of Zion Oil stock at around $10 a share, and they kept posting "Zion Oil has no oil" in spite of glowing press reports coming out of Zion Oil to the contrary Zion Oil took them to court, both parties spent about $100,000 total in the lawsuit. The result: The judge said only Zion Oil is in a position to know if they have no oil, and ordered Bronte Capital to stop posting that Zion Oil had no oil. Of course, Bronte kept right on posting negative stuff about Zion Oil, they just followed the judges order and didn't mention Zion Oil had no oil. After the trial, Zion Oil lamented the cost of the lawsuit and the result, which was essentially a non-result.
Well, I'm just thinking about how right that judge was. Only Zion Oil knows if they have no oil. They know exactly what they have MJ#1, and they've probably known it for a long time. Just something to think about a few years from now when the MJ#1 status finally is revealed to the stockholders. And then, you will know, too.
A little dip only
Will oil become more important to Israel ? For many years now many nations came to destroy Israel, they all lost
Now we see the current American administration helping Israel to counter Iran( the root cause), and makes it easier for Israel to find oil. America may even help with technology "how to find oil'
Major conflict US /Israel vs. Iran/?, IMMINENT?
ouch, taking a ding this morning. Not too worried about it. Still keeping a close on on this one.
I’ll take 10 dollars a share and be happy
Exxon also has over a million commercial wells in operation.
Zion Oil? Not quite there, yet...
Exxon has total revenues exceeding 1¢.
ZNOG revenues? Well - not quite that high...
Exxon has 4.3 billion outstanding shares. So whatever ZNOG does, I'd say the dreams of $100 share price have been permanently smashed. Oh well. Get it? Oh well? My hope is in the Lord but I am disappointed in Zion.
Yup, new shares. See latest proxy statement (filed today). 1.6 billion shares authorized.
Us old timers can remember back in June 2017 when MJ#1 was spud, about 50 million shares outstanding back then.
There is no doubt ZNOG will announce "operations". There is no doubt ZNOG will find "fluids".
But, as always, the only thing ZNOG will actually "produce" is a vast quantity of brand new shares which the insiders will sell into all the "Good News" ZNOG will generate.
I believe you are correct
Got tired of waiting, sold all, read your post and sold some from another stock to get back in before Monday. Because a war is going on much cannot be disclosed, in my opinion. There are many different opinions out there when things look the worst, that's when blessings arrive in my opinion
I know of one eternal record, for I asked to delete mine also and all I could do is change the username. which I did. I was a shareholder of ness before I was of Zion. but it appears that both christian exploration companies came up short. How far car anyone recall when Nathan was flapping his mouth telling us things we didn't want to hear? I go back to the time Richard Rinberg was CEO, and we were waiting for the results of the well drill, and in the press release Zion put out a picture of a white Zion oil baseball cap, and a small jar of a oil like substance was next to it. that made many people think that were telling us they found oil. so the SP went of to 14 dollars(Feb 09), and then a short time later they announced they didn't find commercial quantity oil. that right there is a lawsuit that should have shut Zion down for good. they pumped it and I along with others got in at a higher price thinking it was about to hit the moon but it didn't. I lost a bunch of money. after I had started complaining about the pump, John Brown himself sent me a book about faith to my house. now we've seen multiple CEO's, and others come and go, and it always a mutual departure between parties. I have stayed in contact with David Boyce of Ness, and I had told him that the prophetic realm said that cryptocurrency is coming into the economic future. we are to see a crash of sorts, and then it may take 3-4 years to overcome, but somewhere in this will be a new digital currency that gets us closer to the mark of beast technology. I was hoping that the crypto that was announced to be the transference of the wealth would supply the funds to get ness back on the map and drill by the Dead Sea. that was always the plan, yet Zion claims the head of Joseph is the outline to the inland crude.
Yeah, i remember Nathan well, hope he is ok. We had many 'discussions'. As for the board, you bet, somewhere that a history can be uncensored. Hopefully someday it will come in handy.
you can only change your name Bruce. some of us old timers are still around. and I recall I was defending this stock while Nathan was irritating many. now Im a Nathan too. The people on Zion Facebook dont like someone who posts truth on the company making no money for shareholders, and the past. They tell you to leave. Yet they are the newest batch of those being fleeced for management salaries that now stretches 25 years of finding nothing.
This May 1st is the nation of Israel's 77th Independence day! This would be a perfect day for Zion Oil & Gas to announce a commercial well. It's the 7th drilling on the 77th anniversary for Independence. What a wonderful gift that will be for the nation....The number 7 symbolizes, Completion, Perfection, healing and fulfillment of promises!!! Bullish

I like reading this article when I start to second guess!

Did Zion find oil?
Zion says we can say with absolute confidence that we were successful in attaining that goal.
It's been a while since I posted, but I ran across this post on another board this morning and thought you all might be interested. 
Azerbaijan will sign agreements today to explore natural gas in Israeli waters.
A consortium of Socar, BP Plc, and NewMed Energy LP will receive exploration rights for an offshore block.
Socar recently acquired a 10% stake in Israel’s Tamar gas field and now expands further into Israeli energy assets.
Israel was Azerbaijan’s 6th largest oil buyer in 2023, importing $713 million worth of oil.
Could Solgar be a possible buyer of ZNOG if MG1 has some shows?
Also, Israeli has at least an oil market  worth $713 million.....

No, I actually tried to delete everything including myself and was told my IHUB account was eternal. You can't get rid of yourself, here.
Given that all accounts are eternal, I wonder where many of the old timers for Zion Oil have gone? Don't you?
Old timers for Zion Oil has a nice ring to it, should I pull an Ethan and start my own message board. I could make you the premiere poster in charge of the message board! All the losers from the past, up to 30,000 investors (that's sort of what 300 million in losses, $10,000 per family, 3000 people per year, amount too) could join. I think it would be a hit. Anyway, you should reconsider your posts given the eternal nature of these messages, pushing false prophecy has always been a failing of man just as we see that same failing of man play out here.
Do you remember the early 2019 MJ#1 posts (I'm counting on them having oil as it they better double darn well have oil after all they put us through) to the 2021 MJ#2 posts (I'm certain we have an 80%, or perhaps 50 to 100% chance of commercial oil) to today's (2025) posts with total acceptance of losing the bottom half of MJ#1 to a stuck drill string (darn, 8 years of wear and tear on a steel casing of a well going through multiple salt water aquifers certainly took it's toll on the casing).
Anyway, good luck, I am amazed that today many have the opportunity of a decade to get out of this stock without losing much, but alas, they won't take this opportunity and their investment will come to nothing. I think you know that, but whatever.
Bruce.... you check it every day....admit it. You check on ZN to see if you can squeeze something out of it orrrrr...... you just enjoy bashing.
Your Glass is always half empty .... but that's ok... opinions vary.
I guess we do remember things differently. The SEC stuff? Yeah I remember the law firm calling me to help sue, what a joke. As for the press releases, they are still out there and you know it, so research away.
One thing I will agree on, they started listening to lawyers way too much, but when one digs into who was financing the hitjob on Zion Oil, it becomes very clear what was going on. Yet, through all of that, they are still here with another 7 year exploration license. Trying times for sure, but be honest about some of the details.
The whale(s)? If not for him/them, we would have been done years ago.
I find it funny that a Christian company is doing fairly well there, and trust me that is not easy.
As I remember it, the SEC gave Zion Oil a clean bill of health after Zion Oil fired their accounting firm, got rid of two CEOs in a row, and pushed one of the board members out the back door. Of course, Zion Oil said everything was just peachy, as they always do.
I guess we both remember the facts differently With Zion Oil deleting all the updates and press release from their website concerning the early MJ#1 drilling, who is to say? With the past history of MJ#1 gone, you can't even challenge MJ#1 well re-completion (as in it was never a well, and never complete in the first place).
I'm surprised my login still works, is an IHUB account eternal? I was thinking we have lost so many posters here over the years, I thought for sure my account would have been blown away long ago.
TY!! Sooo appreciate. Glad to see! So... 😶.. here we wait... 🙂✝️🇮🇱🇺🇸
Sorry....my post did not make it the first time
ALCON: Happy Saturday
9Coast, Several years ago there were several attacks against ZN. And if you are wondering if they are on the level..... They were also turned in to the SEC. Nothing came of it and ZN was given a clean bill of health by the SEC (that's the way I remember it anyway)
I also am aware that Moses had to endure 10 Plagues and several Knowledge Transfer Meetings with Pharoah in order to make any type of progress. So here we wait.
OK.... I found it .... SEC Investigation. Thought it earlier than 2023
https://www.zionoil.com/updates/update-on-sec-investigation-zion-oil-gas/
Got it! TY. need to look further into. I displayed from an article. Appreciate. 👍
Greetings iRisky.. no question you (and many others) are more stock world (street smart) than I. I see it on both sides of the opinion & experience. I do have discernment. Unfortunately or fortunately.. I do believe those 2 posts found/displayed. When time permits I will roll back and view older posts. I usually attempt to. Truly I give you and respect your stock world experience. What I don't like is the fact I am not convinced ZNOG is on the up & up.Time will reveal. Will be glad to be off. TY! .. for replies. 🙂
The messages you found.....The Guys posting these messages on YF ---- Do you think they might have been shorting ZNOG like so many have done in the past ???
Have you ever seen .....the shorting done and the messages posted ???

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.
