I have taught since 1976 that when the land is lifted from Geba to Rimmon it will cause a stored underground stream to suddenly pop up on the Temple Mount, that will flow eastward through a divided Mount of Olives to link with a diverted Jordan River. The subsurface river & lake immediately west of the center of Jerusalem’s Western Wall, is an extension of the Judean Hills Watershed.
The Jerusalem Central Bus Station is the main bus depot in Jerusalem, Israel and one of the busiest bus stations in the country. Located on Jaffa Road near the entrance to the city, it serves Egged, Superbus and Dan intercity bus routes.
City buses pick up and discharge passengers across the street on Jaffa Road and on Zalman Shazar Boulevard, which can be accessed via an underground pedestrian passageway.
They were digging under the Central Bus Station to establish a terminal exit for the new Jerusalem underground railroad Terminal.

Chapter 26 – God Lifts His Land and His City
November 22, 2001
Zechariah 14:10 – All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
Because of its exacting detail as to the section of land that would be lifted up, this is perhaps the most remarkable geological prophecy in the Old Testament. We are advised that, along a line from Geba to Rimmon (See Figure 39), God intends to produce a fantastic geological transformation of the landscape. When this violent transformational action is completed, there will be a plain like zone from from Geba to Rimmon and, at the same time, a lifting movement will have elevated the two hills of western Jerusalem. This Scripture indicates that all of the land, immediately to the west of the line from Geba to Rimmon (See Figure 39), will be “lifted up” to a higher elevation, while all the land, immediately to the east of this line, will be lowered to form what appears “as a plain.” The lifting of the land from Geba to Rimmon will include
the city of Jerusalem. The sections west of the Tyropoeon Valley will be lifted up, and those sections to the east will collapse into a plain (See Figure 40).
The prophet Zechariah knew nothing about the existence of the many structural weaknesses in the crust of the land of Israel, nor did anyone else in his day. There was only one being who did, the God who made the earth. The same God, who inspired Zechariah to write of this event, placed a structural weaknesses in the crust of the earth from Geba to Rimmon long before the prophets were born. It was an appropriate type of weakness; one that went up and down in response to shak
ings in the earth. It is only within the last century that men have begun to understand how this particular type of mechanism works in the earth’s crust. Within the last 50 years, geologists uncovered a structural weakness, within the crust of the earth, that passes through Jerusalem on its run from Geba to Rimmon. It is a structural weakness, embedded within the Judean Folds, and has a long history of upwarping. This upwarping zone is known as the Shekhem Syncline, which is one of the lineaments within the Levantine faulting and upwarping system of the Holy Land.
Along the part of this lineament, that extends from Geba to Rimmon, there is a historical pattern of lifting to the west of it, and of downwarping to the east of it.
Concerning the uplifting and downfaulting, along the Shekhem Syncline, and the Jordan-Arabah Rift Valley, Horowitz, in his 1979 text, “The Quaternary of Israel,” states: “It should be noted that the age of uplifting and upwarping is synchronous with the age of major downfaulting of the Jordan-Arava Rift Valley, and the opening of the Bay of Elat. It seems, therefore, that these two lineaments acted simultaneously, but in opposite directions.” When violent upwarping begins along the line from Geba to Rimmon, then a simultaneous downfaulting to its east will occur through the Mount of Olives.
God has been lifting and lowering large sections of the earth’s crust, across the entire earth, along these types of weaknesses, for many centuries. It was along a weakness like this that the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range of California was formed (See Figure 41)
. I believe the immediate land sections, west of a line from Geba to Rimmon, will be lifted like fault block mountains, and the land, immediately to the east of it, will collapse into a narrow valley plain. Please note the two mile high fault scarp in Figure 41. The fault scarp in Israel will not be nearly as high, perhaps ranging from increases of 500 to 2500 feet in height.
Please observe, in Figure 40, the upwarping structural weakness line that separates the two western hills of Jerusalem from its three eastern hills. This topographical feature is known as the Tyropoeon Valley. The zone “from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses” is that section of land which includes the two western hills of Jerusalem. It is not by accident that this structural line of weakness extends north to south directly behind where Solomon’s Temple was located. If you visit Jerusalem, go north through the Dung Gate and walk straight north until the Wailing Wall is visible to your right. Then turn and face west, with your back to the Wailing Wall. You will be facing a fault scarp that has
been lifted many times in the past. Soon it will be lifted again when great earthquakes ripple through the Jordan Valley.
When the critical pressure is reached in the Gulf of Aqabah (See Figure 25), then the Arabah Fault will rip open northward across Israel. It will generate the greatest earthquakes and topographical transformations in recorded history.
Revelation 16:18,19 – And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
The structural weakness from Geba to Rimmon, with its branch through the Tyropoeon Valley, will undergo massive uplifting to its west, and downfaulting to its east. This prophecy will soon be fulfilled by the God who led Zechariah to write it. Figure 42 visually displays the city of Jerusalem after the lifting has occurred. The exposed bluff, created by the uplifting, is what geologists call a fault scarp. There will be a massive fault scarp extending all the way from Geba to Rimmon.
During earthquake activity down through the ages, God has created thousands of fault scarps across the surface of His earth. In this instance God has chosen to give us the exact location where He will perform His handiwork. And he has told us thousands of years before he does it.
Ezekiel 38:19,20 – For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; [20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Zechariah 14:4,5 – And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. [5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Joel 3:15-18 – The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. [16] The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. [17] So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. [18] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Ezekiel 47:1-5 – Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. [2] Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. [3] And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to
the ancles. [4] Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. [5] Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
[9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Beneath Jerusalem, a river runs deep
By ARIEH O’SULLIVAN / THE MEDIA LINE

Builders find rare underground stream while working on railway station; geologists say it is largest underground river found in Israel.
Excavators digging for a new railway station deep under the surface of central Jerusalem have discovered what geologists say is the largest underground river ever found in Israel.
And while its deep canyons and waterfalls may be an impressive find for scientists, it doesn’t contain a significant amount of the precious fluids to affect the water balance in this traditionally parched city
We found a nice but small underground river,” Professor Amos Frumkin, head of the Cave Research Unit of the Hebrew University’s Department of Geography, told The Media Line.
“In terms of Israel, it’s the longest underground stream that we have ever seen. It is a kind of a canyon that has been cut by the stream of the water over a long period of time, maybe millions of years,” Frumkin said.
Frumkin and his team were called upon by Israel Railways after its engineers chanced upon the cave while excavating an 80-meter (260-foot) shaft close to the city’s main convention center and central bus station that is being drilled for a huge, underground station that will serve the high-speed Jerusalem-Tel Aviv railway.
When they reached the depth of 75 meters they cut into this cave accidentally. The water started flowing into this shaft and they had some problems until they found some engineering solution and called us,” Frumkin said.
“We were the first humans ever to set foot inside this cave. However, it wasn’t very easy. It meant crawling in mud and some rappelling on ropes was required. So you needed some spelunking techniques,” he said. “It was beautiful. One canyon was over 200 meters long and we never reached its end. We found some waterfalls inside, which was nice for our arid country.”
Jerusalem is not known for its water sources and there is only one major spring in the city, the biblical Gihon, which has been gurgling since before King David’s time. With a population of some 700,000, Jerusalem gets its water pumped up from the coastal aquifer.
Frumkin said the cave appears to have developed after water seeped in from the surface and dissolved the underlying limestone. While other major caves have been discovered in Israel, this was the only one with running water.
This is the longest one with an active stream flowing through it. All the other stalactite caves in Israel are without any stream of water today. They are just dripping water from the ceiling and the streams that formed the cave have long vanished because of geological and hydrological changes in the mountains,” he said.
“This one is still active in terms that the stream which was forming the cave is still active and this is not very common in Israel. It is much more common in other countries that are wetter like Europe and America and tropical countries,” Frumkin said.
Frumkin said the cave was at some points a few dozen meters high and speculated that the water originated from the surface and it was likely rainwater and possibly leakage from pipes and even sewage. Unlike a cave discovered a few years ago in central Israel that contained previously unknown crustaceans, the Jerusalem cavern has been found to host some microbes but no other major forms of life.
“The study of the cave can help us understand the precise mechanism by which water flows through the aquifer in the Jerusalem area,” he added.
He said that efforts were underway to reseal the cave entrance so that the water channel could be preserved without compromising the railway project.
“The train station will be built, but I believe that we can also preserve the cave by building some doorway to seal the cave but to allow the entry to anyone who needs to get into it for one reason or another. So the cave won’t be lost,” he said.
