23 He shall command the great deep, and it shall be driven back into
the north countries, and the islands shall become one land;
24 And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned
back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in
the days before it was divided.

"Islands shall become one land" would seem to indicate a *lowering* of
the sea levels.
"24" seems to be metaphorial bullocks.
Boikat
Would that be "Don't pretend you want to talk to me, I know you hate
me."
Or is it "I'm not getting you down at all, am I?"
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.
No, no, that can't be right. That would be sensible.
Kermit
What is the difference between "the land of Jerusalem" and "the land
of Zion"?
Kermit
If any of it is sensible, it is like a broken clock or a blind
squirrel.
I don't get the reference to the sensibility of blind squirrels.

Are you with The Gondwanaland Peoples Reunity Front, The People's
Reunity Front of Judea, The People's Front of Gondwanaland, The
Gondwanaland People's Front, The Gondwanaland Popular People's Front,
The Popular Front of Gondwanaland, or The Campaign for a Reunited
Gondwanaland?

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.
Mitchell Coffey
Well...
There's plenty of nuts here...
You forgot the part about the mountains being made low, and the
lowlands being raised
you big goof!

If the blind squirrel posts here, he or she will find nuts galore.

Boy, the original Gondwanaland Unity Party has sure fractured.
I see in verse 22 that the mountains will be broken but not that the
lowlands will be raised, only that the valleys will not be found.
Yep, you are incredibly dense.
"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".
Boikat
When the Earth was flooded, *gasp* the land was together.
That only implies a flattening of thr land that is already above sea
level. Where's the flood bit?
Boikat
Now your robotarded brain is going in circles.
It goes back to the ice caps melting in case that fell out of your
brain again ...
Ahhhh. Bronze Age mythology. Just what we need in the 21st Century.
Why don't you come over to alt.atheism, Michael? We need the fresh
meat. Leave the nice scientists alone, they've got enough loonies to
deal with already.

You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full
of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the
clue mating dance.
It might do that, but will it find the nut again after it buried it
for storage?
Actually, it's 19th century mythology.
Is that about the blind squirrels again? They would have problems
finding valleys.
Whatever you do, don't put your nuts in a valley.
I remember the good old days, when it was just the Gondwanaland
Unity Party and the Gondwanaland for the Gonwanalanders Party.
Damn that party tectonics!

No sane person would call that "land". I suspect "sane" is a key
word, however.

There's no ice age in the Bible. There are no dinosaurs either.
He's quoting Joseph Smith today. I don't know whether there are ice
ages or dinosaurs in it, either. If the writing is vague enough, you
can probably read anything into it.
You don't call pangea land?
I missed that. Everyone ought to read the Book of Mormon though.
It is very enlightening.
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.
