So when Jesus returns, it appears the revearse of the changes from the global flood will occur and even things out again:Jerusalem will be divided into three parts by a great earthquake (Revelation 16:18-19). Water will flow out from the city after the great earthquake that occurs as Jesus' foot touches the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4-8). The Millennial Temple will be built over this river (Ezekiel 47:1-12).Jerusalem will be the highest point on Earth during the Millennium. In fact Isaiah 2:2 tells us that the rest of earth, in comparison, will be reduced to no more than hills. The great earthquake at the Second Coming of Jesus will level the mountains and make the islands disappear (Revelation 16:20).Great hailstones will pound anything remaining to a pulp (Revelation 16:21). The rapid melting of the hail stones will likely aid in the cleanup of the land in the form of flash flooding. If the "grapes" (God's enemies) are "trampled" by these large hail stones that will rapidly melt, it's no wonder we are told the river of blood flowing from the final battle will reach as high as the horses bridle (Revelation 14:20).Mountains have a large impact on the earth's weather patterns. With the removal of the mountains, the earth's weather will become tranquil. Mountains can form deserts by blocking rain clouds. Without mountains, the earth will become very fertile. Interestingly, there will be only one mountain that Jerusalem will sit on during that time. So it makes sense that the area to the east of Jerusalem will be a desolate place where only the beasts of the desert are able to live during the Millennium (Isaiah 34).Since the curse will be lifted from the earth, people will be able to live longer like they did before the flood in Genesis. Isaiah 65:20 suggests that people will have a hundred years to make a choice for Christ. In other words, if they reject Christ and stay in their sin then they will die by their hundreth birthday. This also suggests that death will not come to followers of Christ throughout the Kingdom Age. In other words, those that survived the Tribulation may live to be over a thousand years old.Maranatha!Amy Van GerpenStephen Bishop (6 June 2012) "Does Science Prove Noah's Flood?"
