“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which

(Psalm 125:1).

erected. The earthquake will eliminate the great mountain
ranges and islands of the world. God will restore the gentle,

cataclysm of Noah’s Flood.
“Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill
made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged

(Isa. 40:4).

This will restore the tropical climates that the dinosaurs and
Noah enjoyed before the Flood. This global greenhouse will
again support abundant plant growth, and prevent mass
