AND THE DESERTS WILL BLOOM
Greetings all my fine friends! My apologies that I have been absent these
past two weeks. Between helping with creation science teachings, giving
presentations and traveling to visit my sister across the country, I have been
so busy and exhausted! But I am here today and have a very interesting bit of
news to share.
An article written by Paul Schneider released April 24, 2019 in a news brief from Israel
Unwired, is titled; Israel is Turning the Desert into a Paradise with This
Invention. What invention? Let’s look at
some background first:
In 1953 the then Prime Minister of Israel gave a speech stating, “It is
in the Negev (desert) that the creativity and pioneer vigor of Israel will be
tested, and this will be a crucial test. Israel’s capacity for science and
research will be tested in the Negev and it is incumbent upon our
scientists
and researchers to focus on the new areas of research which residents of the
North will have need of: research to desalinate water with inexpensive
processes; to exploit solar energy which is so abundant in our country, and
especially in the Negev; to use wind power to generate electric power…..”1
At that time Israeli scientists started investigating ways to “make the
desert bloom”. And they found one; the drip system. Yes, Israel invented the
drip system and has shared it with the world! Even their enemies, the Palestinians.
“In addition to drip irrigation technology, Israel is also on the
forefront of everything relating to desalination and exploitation of solar
energy. Anybody travelling through Israel’s deserts is sure to see the tens of
thousands of palm trees producing dates by the tons – all out of the harsh
desert. The desert is truly blooming in Israel today.”2
I know it isn't exactly new news that Israel is turning deserts green. But I didn't realize how many countries they shared this knowledge with. So that deserts around the world are starting to bloom.
Until next time, God bless and take care!
