I noticed in one of the threads that you referred to a prophecy about fish in the Dead Sea. Could you let me know what verses this comes from? I caught part of a TV program on the Dead Sea where they took a submarine down into it. From what I caught it was very interesting, they had to add much more weight to get the sub to sink due to bouancy (sp) from all the salt.
The day Jesus returns, his feet will touch on the mount of Olives the mountain will split and cause a gurge which will go accross to the dead sea, thus the sea will be fed with fresh waters and be able to sustain life, fishes etc.
Zec. 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Living Waters From Where The Lord Rules
After The Return Of Jesus Christ, two kinds of "living waters" are going to flow from Jerusalem, one of literal fresh water which will give new life to a (now nearly) physically-dead Dead Sea, the other "living waters" of the Holy Spirit which will give new life to a (now nearly) spiritually-dead world.
New life to the Dead Sea:
[ul]"On that day His feet shall stand on The Mount Of Olives which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two [see Earthquake!] from east to west by a very wide valley; so that one half of the Mount shall withdraw northward, and the other half southward ... On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea [i.e. the Dead Sea, or The Salt Sea and half of them to the western sea [i.e. The Mediterranean Sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter. And The Lord will become King over all the earth; on that day The Lord will be one and His Name one." (Zechariah 14:4,8-9 RSV)
"Then he brought me back to the door of the Temple ]; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the Temple toward the east, for the Temple faced east; and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the Temple, south of the altar. Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side."
"Going on eastward with a line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water; and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; and it was up to the loins. Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. And he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?"
"Then he led me back along the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw upon the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. Fishermen will stand beside the sea; from Engedi to Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets; its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea. But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing." (Ezekiel 47:1-12 RSV)

The Prophecy on the above post might already have begun to happened:
African continent is splitting along the Ethiopian Rift creating a New Ocean! - is this in preparation for the fulfilment of Prophecy at the Time of the End? The following report has been featured on this page since 2003. The most recent report (Dec. 2005) confirms a rear earth crack, 60 Km long by 8m wide which had developed in merely a few weeks since Sept. 2005 - A continental rifting process that normally takes millions of years to form
A plume of hot volcanic mantle rock is rising beneath Africa, trying to split the continent apart. According to international researchers, it could eventually create a new ocean.
The crack in the Earth's surface runs for 2,000 kilometres from Malawi in the South, through Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia, to link-up with the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The top of the Red Sea lines up with the valley of the Dead Sea, lowest spot on earth, into which the Jordan river flows, some 30 Km East of Jerusalem, down from the Sea of Galilea,
It is significant that this is happening while the stage is being prepared (in fact, it is already set) for the culminating events of this dispensation in Jerusalem, as prescribed in the Prophecy of Zechariah (ZacharYah) and Ezekiel. These Prophecies describe the awesome events which will precede and lead to the Appearance of YHVH in the final Great World War, to fight on the side of Israel for their survival. Zechariah 14:2 - 11 "YHVH will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be taken, the houses plundered, the women ravished. Half the city will go into captivity, but the remnant of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then YHVH will take the field. He will fight against these nations as He fights in the day of battle. On that day His feet will rest on the Mt. of Olives which faces Jerusalem from the East. The Mt. of Olives will be split in two from East to West, forming a very huge gorge. half the Mount will receed northwards, the other half southwards ... YHVH your God will come and the holy ones with Him ... it will be a Day of Wonder ... When that Day comes, living waters will issue from Jerusalem, half of them to the Eastern ('original') sea, half to the Western sea (Mediterranean, 55 Km West, Tel Aviv, Jaffa). They will flow summer and winter. And YHVH will be King of the whole world ... the entire country will be transformed ... and Jerusalem will be raised higher, though still in the same place ... Jerusalem will be safe to live in." Ezekiel ch 38 describes this same awesome event. Verse 20 - 23 "At My Presence, all the fish in the sea, and the birds of heaven, the wild beasts and all men on earth will quake. Mountains will fall, cliffs crumble, walls collapse ... torrential rain, hail stones, fire and brimstone. I mean to display My Greatness and Holiness and compel the many nations (who have drawn up against Jerusalem) to acknowledge Me."
There are other references in the Bible to this great earthquake that will accompany His Return at the time of the War of Gog & Magog (Armegeddon) - the final world cataclysm preceding the setting up of His Kingdom with Jerusalem as head quarters.

Looking at the geography of the area mentioned in the Prophecies above, and its relation to the rift mentioned in our news article, stretching across Africa right up to and through the Jordan valley, 30 Km East of Jerusalem, to the Sea of Galilee. It is meaningful that the great gorge mentioned in Zechariah 14:4, which will be formed by the splitting of the Mount of Olives, will run to the Mediterranean Sea (West) and to the Dead Sea, East of Jerusalem (Jordan Valley rift) carrying waters from Jerusalem. The current main road from Jerusalem to Jericho, descends below the sea level point, some 20 Km East of Jerusalem. The famous mineral rich Dead Sea is in a land locked basin, well below sea level - thus, in a ready formed ocean bed.
Is it co-incidence that this Prophecy speaks of the water running into the Eastern (original) 'sea'? Will His Return set off the earthquake which will open the Ethiopian Rift to create a new Ocean which will push up through the Red Sea into the Jordanian valley?
EAGLE (The Ethiopian-Afar Geophysical Lithospheric Experiment) is a major British initiative by 20 scientists between October 2001 and January 2003, to investigate how the African continent is splitting along the Ethiopian Rift. This project is sponsored by the Universities of Leicester and Leeds in collaboration with the University of Addis Abeba and Ethiopian government groups.

ADDIS ABABA: A continental rifting process that normally takes millions of years to form has developed over a span of seven weeks in the Afar region of Ethiopia.
It was a close study, using radar interferometry, of an earth rupture developing into a rare axial rift zone -- a possible future ocean basin.
Scientists from Ethiopia and Britain made four expeditions to the Da'ure locality in the Afar Depression between mid-September and early October 2005, to collect geophysical and geological data.
It started with a series of quakes that were first recorded Sep 14, 2005 in Da'ure, an area in the lowlands of western Ethiopia that stretches from the central part of the country to the Dahlak Islands of Eritrea in the Red Sea. The volcanic activity recorded, spewed ash for three continuous days and eventually numerous cracks appeared on the ground, spreading fear among the pastoral inhabitants. Unsettled by the phenomena of rumbling tremors, they approached the regional authorities to ask the federal government in Addis Ababa to look into it. The government asked experts in the field at the AAU to investigate the phenomena, and if need be ask for assistance from universities abroad. An image of the locality taken by a NASA satellite orbiting the earth showed that an area of 60 km had developed an eight-metre opening.
"This was a fast opening rate within a span of about two months, from Sep 14 to early November 2005, an exciting event in scientific terms," said Atalay, of the Geophysical Observatory of the Addis Ababa University "Compare this to the very slow movement of the plate tectonic affecting the crust of the earth in the Afar region, which is about 17 mm per year," he explained.
For scientists researching the phenomena, the Afar region is a natural laboratory where the transition between oceanic rift and continental rift is visible on land.
"What we saw was a microcosm of a process of an earth split that takes millions of years to evolve into an ocean basin," Atalay declared.

Thanks Alex,
And I mean that brother...you did a much better job than I could have done with your answer. Seems like we may have something in common here, When I came back from Israel I did alot of study on End Time Prophecy.Why..because I fell in love with Israel and don't want to get left out.
