Some have bizarrely claimed that a Bible prophecy in the Book of Ezekiel – one of the major prophetic books in the Old Testament – has been fulfilled after footage emerged of floodwater appearing to flow eastwards from Jerusalem towards the Dead Sea
A Bible prophecy has allegedly been “fulfilled” after an astonishing video showed rivers appearing to flow from Jerusalem towards the Dead Sea – leading to the bizarre claim.
Record-breaking volumes of rain have fallen across Israel, with more than 40cm of rain falling north of Jerusalem in what has broken a 51-year-old record.
But a new terrifying video showing a torrent of water appearing and flooding a road has led some to sensationally claim a biblical prophecy is being fulfilled.
The video is said to be taken near the Arugot River (roughly 18 miles of south of Jersualem).
Stunned witnesses stop in their tracks and a car that was about to drive across the road is forced to a halt.
The river then rushes eastwards, towards the Dead Sea, and disappears from sight beneath the crest of the hill.
Breaking Israel News picked up on the video and has linked it to biblical passages in Ezekiel and Genesis.
According to the Bible, the valley where the Dead Sea is now was originally a “well-watered” land before it was destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah.
In Genesis 13:10, it states: “…Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere before Hashem destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah…”
The religious news outlet then draws attention to a prophecy in Ezekiel 47:8-9 which the “eastern region” will one day be transformed.
The passage reads: “Then said he unto me: ‘These waters issue forth toward the eastern region and shall go down into the Arabah (a barren basin close to the Dead Sea) and when they shall enter into the sea of the putrid waters the waters shall be healed.
