Revelation 22:1-2 22:1 And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 in the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations
Ezekiel 47:1-2 Then he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. And he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by way of the gate that faces east. And behold, water was trickling from the south side.
Ezekiel 47:7-9 7 Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8 Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh. 9 “And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there, and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.
Ezekiel 47:11-12 11 But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. 12 And by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.

Lowest & Deadest North is on the right
Dead Sea Impurities Primarily multiple salts 2 parts Sodium Chloride (table salt) 4 parts Magnesium Chloride One part Calcium Chloride Total saltiness 5 to 10 times that of the oceans
The Dead Sea’s Future Constant increase of salinity Water level dropping 1 meter per year No significant water left by 2050
Adding Ocean Water Old and New ideas on saving the Dead Sea Theodore Herzl Proposed it in Bro. Russell’s day Mediterranean Sea as water source with electrical power generation (Altneuland, 1902) Walter Lowdrmilk (1950’s) Again proposed as diversion of Jordan ramps up Current Dead-Med & Dead-Red proposals So much diversion in place (by Israel & Jordan) it is forecast to be completely gone by 2050
Zechariah 14:1-3 14:1 Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.

They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them,
