Day 249

2 Kings 25:27-30; Jeremiah 52:31-34; Ezekiel 29:17-30:19; 47:1-48:35.  “Fishing the Dead Sea”

         With the exception of a rare torrential rain, the Mojave River is always dry.  Seeing a fisherman reel in a fish on the bank of that river would be just as amazing as seeing one caught on the Dead Sea.  The Dead Sea, 1,300 feet below sea level has many salt pillars at its south end.  The Sea is 5-6 times saltier than our ocean, nearly 30% salt.  In other words, if you let a cup of water evaporate, eventually almost 1/3 of it would still be full of just salty mineral.  It’s a fun body of water to float in.  You start floating straight up and down before you get to your waist.  The downside is that for health reasons you can’t stay in it longer than about 15 minutes.  Needless to say, there are no fish in it.  So, to hear that one day fishermen will stand along its bank catching fish (47:10), well, that describes a miraculous transformation.
         Is God in the business of miraculous transformations?  Yes, and every one of us are examples of it.
