Exodus 2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
The vast deposits of oil in Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Africa and the United States all belong to the God of heaven, for not only does God own them, God also strategically distributed them across the earth in His wisdom. Not only does God own all the raw materials upon the planet, God also owns all of the real estate, any and everywhere on the planet. The time has come for a rude awakening to the truth in the matter for it seems as if folks have lost sight of God’s sovereignty on the issue of ownership.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 107>108] The entire surface of the earth was changed at the Flood. A violent wind which was caused to blow for the purpose of drying up the waters, moved them with great force, in some instances even carrying away the tops of the mountains and heaping up trees, rocks, and earth above the bodies of the dead. By the same means the silver and gold, the choice wood and precious stones, which had enriched and adorned the world before the Flood, and which the inhabitants had idolized, were concealed from the sight and search of men.
The violent action of the waters piled earth, and rocks upon these treasures, and in some cases even forming mountains above them. God saw that the more He enriched and prospered sinful men, the more they would corrupt their ways before Him. At this time immense forests were buried. These have since been changed to coal, forming those extensive coal beds that now exist, and also yielding large quantities of oil.
Genesis 14:10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
