The Dead Sea is Dying

The Telegraph:

If you keep a sharp eye open as you drive the world’s lowest road, along the Israeli side of the Dead Sea, you may spot a short black line painted on a cliff face some feet above your head. It was made a century ago by British geographers, floating on a boat on the sea’s surface, to mark its level at the time.

But if you then turn, as I did this week, to look for the present-day sea, you’ll only spot it far beneath you, at the bottom of another cliff. For its level has since fallen by more than 80 feet, mainly over the past few decades.

At the same time the sea more here.

  1. The Dead Sea, is itself dying.. as too even more to a spiritually Dead Planet – earth! Only the Second Coming of Christ will renew or make a New Creation, of this old order & matter.. God will make all things new, in the regeneration & resurrection! (Matt. 19:28)…Sorry, just a great place for the message of the eternality of the Gospel! I am a preacher of the “kerygmatic” Christ! “It pleased God,” says Paul, “by the foolishness of the Preaching to save them that believe.” (1 Cor. 1:21) :)
