Israel’s economic boom

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

December 18, 2025

Benjamin Netanyahu just announced a $112 billion gas deal with Egypt. In thelast 15 years, the   state has discovered vast gas and oil reserves in the Mediterranean. Remember how Israel was often almost mocked for not having any real natural resources, especially in contrast to her Middle East neighbors?

Those days are over.

Amid all the war and talk of war and security—topics that dominate the news cycle regarding Israel—the economy of the state of Israel is experiencing growth so incredible, one wonders if in fact there might be some sort of temporary cessation of hostilities between Israel and most of the Middle East.

Now comes word of another financial win.

Nvidia, the world’s leader in artificial intelligence computing (worth $4.3 trillion) is planning a campus in northern Israel, to be fully occupied by 2031. For up to 10,000 employees, the new site will be built on 22 acres. All these plans are being developed from the company’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

The multi-billion-dollar investment will turbo-charge Israel’s economy. Of course, the country is already a tech leader in innovation. The capabilities and potential ofIsraeli tech firms is already  legendary.

All Israel News reported some of the potential:

“Nvidia’s senior vice president of marketing Gilad Shainer assessed at the time that artificial intelligence is the ‘most important technology of our lifetime.’

“’Generative AI is going everywhere nowadays. You need to be able to run training on large datasets,’ Shainer said in an interview with Reuters. The Israeli-based AI computer currently ranks 34th among the world’s top 500 supercomputers.”

Perhaps most astonishing is the fact that “Nvidia’s Israeli workforce currently constitutes some 15% of the tech giant’s total global workforce.”

Incredible!

And, as an extra example that God is actually guiding things, as the Bible tells us He does, the Gaza War was thought to endanger Israel’s economy. Instead, Israel’s tech sector is strong, attracting international groups like Nvidia. What Hamas meant for evil, God meant for good.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made it clear he intends to continue investing in Israel and is not deterred by the military threats.

“’The thing I showcased, which is the heart and soul of the Blackwell processor, came from Israel. And so, we will continue to invest heavily in Israel. This entire region is very important to me,’ Huang stated last year.”

The more than 3,000 Israeli employees are reinforced by another 100 in Judea-Samaria, and even Gaza itself.

When you consider this type of economic juggernaut against a backdrop of war, it becomes clear that the Nvidia story is almost hidden from the public. And it should also impress President Donald Trump, whose now uneven relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu causes some to worry about U.S.-Israel relations going forward. So again, are we seeing an economic paradise that might even overcome the jihadists for a time? After all, the Abraham Accords are a cornerstone of Trump’s belief that economic advances can blunt 7th century warmongering.

Now, I don’t mean to suggest that all these things will overcome the haters. We know from Scripture that Gog-Magog will erupt in a climate of at least relative safety for Israel. And you can be sure the Abraham Accords are not built on anything but economic expediency. But we can speculate fairly accurately that Israel’s tech and energy successes will flourish for a time. After all, Gog comes to “take a spoil” and Israel has an economy that would spoil anyone.

Since 9/11, there have been 65,000 Islamic terrorist attacks across the globe. Satan’s army seeks to destroy. We should however welcome any respite from this kind of evil.

That’s a chore, however.

This past week, I spent a half-day listening to and transcribing Tucker Carlson’s Dec. 10th podcast, “Our Closest Ally,” in which the now-Israel-hating commentator made the absurd claim that Qatar is a more viable alliance for the U.S. than Israel. In fact, speaking of the famed Israel-U.S. alliance, Carlson made this chilling remark: “There’s no reason for it to stay that way forever.”

My goodness, that sounds like a threat. And it plays of course right into such prophecies as Jeremiah 30:14. There, we see that one day, Israel will literally wind up alone. Carlson might thirst for the end of Israel, but even he can’t erase Israel’s value to the international community for the time being.

Let’s pray that Israel’s marvelous economy will continue to be a bulwark against those that seek Israel’s destruction.

Although we have to be very careful about making specific predictions, let us at least hope that this good news from Israel will make the Jewish state an indispensable actor in today’s world for some time to come.

God is blessing Israel, who are trying to protect their ancient land from those who wish to destroy them. The Bible tells us the land of Israel shall blossom like a rose in the last days. Rh

Good morning and thank you to all who read and follow this blog.  As you know I try to give a take on current events and how they relate to Biblical Prophecy.  Today I am sharing a video clip about the possible future dangers of the vast amounts of money that is being given to the United States from Muslim countries in the Middle East.  I am a Christian Conservative and I do support Trump.  However my feelings align with this video clip.  This clip is courtesy of William Koenig a Christian White House reporter who is now serving in the White House.  I hope you enjoy it!  If so, share with like-minded people.

Money Buys Silence: Why Are Countries Collectively Ignoring The Terrorist Ties And Propaganda Of Qatar? – Harbinger’s Daily

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Ask people to point to the country of Qatar on a map, and it is safe to say that the majority of people would struggle to find it.  At only 100 miles (160 km) from north to south and 50 miles (80 km) from east to west, Qatar is small in…

We must be careful the ties that we make with a radical Islamic terror supporting country. Praying for wisdom for our elected officials to see behind the lure of money, and see the real Middle East. There is an old saying, “can a leopard change its spots?” Jesus told us to be wise as serpents and gentle as lambs. Are you listening??

Opening the Gates: Trump’s Middle East Deals the Rise of Radical Islamic Influences in America – William Koenig

May 16, 2025 

Sharing this article from a Christian journalist who is also a part of the White House press corps. His opinions I agree with 100%. We are living in dangerous times. Prosperity only comes through Jesus Christ, not aligning ourselves with anti-christians nations. Please read the following with an open mind. Rh

President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates has been framed by supporters as a major economic win. With reports suggesting these Gulf states plan to invest trillions of dollars into the U.S. economy through real estate, energy, and tech partnerships, the deals are being hailed as a major boost to American financial interests.

But while the business optics may appear favorable, the geopolitical and ideological implications raise serious concerns.

There is already a notable expansion of Islamic infrastructure within the United States. Thousands of mosques and Islamic centers—many funded directly or indirectly by foreign capital from the Middle East—are being built across American cities. These developments coincide with Trump’s deepening ties to the very nations that have historically funded extremist ideologies and political Islam worldwide.

Qatar remains one of the primary financial backers of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global Islamist movement with ties to political radicalism. They own Al Jazeera the largest news network in the Middle East and North Africa. They have been accused of being a mouthpiece for Hamas and Israel shut them down from broadcasting in the country.

Saudi Arabia’s decades-long export of Wahhabi doctrine has helped shape hardline Sunni ideologies across the globe. The United Arab Emirates, while more moderate in tone, maintains an authoritarian stance on religious and political freedoms and has sought to export its model of state-controlled Islam.

At the same time, Trump and his family stand to benefit personally. Ongoing or planned real estate projects in Doha, Dubai, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, and potentially even Syria suggests significant commercial interest. Additionally, there are reports of cryptocurrency ventures tied to state-backed Gulf funds—adding a financial layer that intertwines U.S. presidential influence with foreign investment from nations with strict Islamic governance.

While these nations continue to enforce rigid religious laws and limit Christian and Jewish expression within their own borders, they are being granted increasing economic and cultural presence within the U.S.

While these Middle Eastern governments tighten their grip on Islamic purity within their own borders—imprisoning Christians, banning Bibles, and persecuting evangelicals—they are now being granted unfiltered access to American soil. Mosques are rising by the thousands. Islamic centers, often backed by foreign capital, are expanding across American cities. And the silence from the church and the government is deafening.

The irony is striking. Israel, America’s most steadfast ally in the region, appears increasingly isolated—threatened daily by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. And yet, the very nations that fund terror against the Jewish state are now being invited into the economic and cultural heart of America under the banner of deal-making.

Critics argue this alignment risks enabling ideologies that are fundamentally at odds with American democratic and pluralistic values. They point out that these countries not only restrict freedom of worship domestically but also promote a global religious and political agenda. And now, through high-profile deals and expanding U.S.-based assets, they are gaining unprecedented access and influence on American soil.

The prophetic implications are chilling. America is aligning itself politically and financially with nations whose core ideologies are hostile to Christianity and Judeo values. And, as Scripture warns, there are consequences for those who bless or curse Israel:

“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. And in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” — Genesis 12:3

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” — Galatians 6:7

This appears to be more than trade. It increasingly resembles an ideological advance—a soft invasion under the cover of business opportunity. What presents itself as economic progress may, in reality, be the Trojan horse of a much darker agenda: the erosion of biblical foundations and the quiet rise of a foreign ideological presence cloaked in commercial partnerships.

Trump’s legacy may indeed be built on deals. But the cost to the soul of the nation could be far greater than the billions gained—if anything is gained at all. Copied from watch.org. Willian Koenig

Tax Cuts

Celebrating America’s Economic Success on the Second Anniversary of Trump Tax Cuts
Two years later, the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has done wonders in creating more economic opportunity for the majority of Americans. The reforms that the law ushered in have lowered taxes for the majority of Americans, raised wages, and shown potential for a positive long-term effect on business investments, according to Heritage Senior Policy Analyst Adam Michel. “Between the tax cuts and wage gains, The Heritage Foundation calculated that over the decade following the tax cuts, the typical American household will reap an additional $26,000 in take-home pay or $45,000 for a family of four. That’s more than enough to buy a new car or put a down payment on a house,”
