"Islands shall become one land" would seem to indicate a *lowering* of
the sea levels.

"24" seems to be metaphorial bullocks.

No, the islands disappearing, result from *gasp* they became flooded.

But if the water level rises, more islands would be created as high
points are cut off from the main land, so the only way to have "one
land" would be everything covered but Mt. Everest.

OTOH, lowering the water levels would connect some islands to nearby
continents but it would expose other sea mounts.

Either way it makes no sense in a literal interpretation. Perhaps it
is really about political divisions of the land.

Great question! At http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/657453/Zion,
Zion was recorded by Josephus as being the westernmost hill of
Jerusalem, but around the turn of the century (19th to the 20th) it
was found that it was actually the easternmost hill. It would be very
impressive if Michael can show us that Joseph Smith got that factoid
correct in the early 19th century.

I believe this is a reference to the fact that, according to the
Biblical account, King David's empire had subsequently split into two
independent kingdoms, Israel in the north, Judea in the south. Judah
contained Jerusalem. Much scriptural sturm und drang regards
reuniting David's empire, which was considered a golden age.
Technically, this was what, as David's putative heir, Jesus was
suppose to do, but He had greater plans.

The important thing here is that the reference in the quoted passages
is political, not geological.

I see in verse 22 that the mountains will be broken but not that the

"Become one land" does not mean "became flooded". There is no way a
rational mind would think "becomes one land" means "flooded" You'd
have to be as deluded as your pet monnnkeey-boy to interpret "becomes
one land" as "flooded".

I don't call Panges anything that has anything to do with the Bible.
I also do not call Pangea "flooded", as it was above sea level.
