When the Jews rebuild their Temple it will almost certainly be in order with the Biblical specifications . If the Biblical specifications were followed today , it would cost roughly 75 billion dollars to build .
In addition to the wealth of the Temple , the Dead Sea is extraordinarily mineral wealthy . The deposits of magnesium chloride , salt , calcium chloride , potassium chloride , magnesium bromide , and potash are estimated to be worth 6 to 8 Trillion dollars . One of the chief minerals of the Dead Sea is potash . It has enough potash to provide for the needs of the entire world for 2,000 years . Why is potash so valuable ? It is used as a potent fertilizer . When the population explosion begins to usher in famines , potash will become extremely valuable for food production . It is also used for explosives .

Lignostone — Harder Than Steel — Burns Like Coal ! ( p . 113 )
Lignostone is a product of many uses . It is known that Russia has been using this versatile product for many years in the manufacture of its weapons of war . For those who may not be familiar with this fairly recent discovery , Lignostone was invented by a man in Ter Apel , Holland . It has the quality of being stronger than steel , more elastic , and very applicable for many manufactured products ( even including bows and arrows ). It resembles many layers of plywood compressed under extreme pressure , and it has another vital use : being a wood product , it burns better than coal .
This was a major reason for its development . Since Holland had no natural gas wells at the time , Lignostone was developed for use in the coke-burning plants for the production of manufactured gas . Lignostone burns better than coke , and thus we see in this product the very real potential for the fulfillment of Ezekiel ' s prophecy in 39:9 which could only be foretold by Divine inspiration : that the Russian weapons could be burned for fuel for seven years .
