movements of air such as hurricanes and tornadoes. Cool un-
derwater subterranean springs will also be formed (Isa. 41:18).
Surely the volcanic upheavals and the atmospheric bom-
bardments will resupply the soil with nutrients and trace ele-
ments. The innumerable dead plants, animals, and yes, people,
will (like Jezebel) become fertilizing agents, adding organic nu-
trients to the soils as well. Death will then yield life.

(Hab
3:4). As the mountains sink, the deep (the sea) roars and lifts
