Yehezkel 47:8-9

8 And he said to me, "This water is going out to the eastern frontier, and will descend upon the plain, and come to the sea, to the sea that is brought out, and the waters will be healed.

חוַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י הַמַּ֚יִם הָאֵ֙לֶּה֙ יֽוֹצְאִ֗ים אֶל־הַגְּלִילָה֙ הַקַּדְמוֹנָ֔ה וְיָֽרְד֖וּ עַל־הָֽעֲרָבָ֑ה וּבָ֣אוּ הַיָּ֔מָּה אֶל־הַיָּ֥מָּה הַמּֽוּצָאִ֖ים וְנִרְפּ֥וּ (כתיב וְנִרְפּ֥אוּ) הַמָּֽיִם:

9 And every living creature that will swarm wherever the two streams will go, will live, and the fish will be very abundant, for these waters have come there, and wherever the stream flows, they shall be healed and live.

טוְהָיָ֣ה כָל־נֶ֣פֶשׁ חַיָּ֣ה | אֲשֶׁר־יִשְׁרֹ֡ץ אֶ֣ל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר֩ יָב֨וֹא שָׁ֚ם נַֽחֲלַ֙יִם֙ יִֽחְיֶ֔ה וְהָיָ֥ה הַדָּגָ֖ה רַבָּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד כִּי֩ בָ֨אוּ שָׁ֜מָּה הַמַּ֣יִם הָאֵ֗לֶּה וְיֵרָֽפְאוּ֙ וָחָ֔י כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־יָ֥בוֹא שָׁ֖מָּה הַנָּֽחַל:

Photojournalist Captures Incredible Moving Salt Formations in the Dead Sea

In 2016, photojournalist Noam Bedein pushed off the crystallized shores of the Dead Sea in a kayak, hoping to document some of the dramatic scenery. Bedein’s camera captured small fish in sinkholes deep in the northern part of the sea.

“I didn’t realize at the time the significance of this,” Bedein said. “Everyone went wild. The secular, scientific world was fascinated by this phenomenon, and the religious world was also very excited.”

For the religious community, fish in the Dead Sea was a sign of End Times, a fulfillment of a biblical prophecy in which the salty waters will become fresh. Bedein explained that indeed, freshwater from Jerusalem filled the sinkholes with micro-organisms, just one of the reasons “Dead Sea” is a misnomer. 

Since that day, the Sefad native frequently has returned to the Dead Sea — often three to four times a month — to document the radical transformations in the salt formations, using time-lapse photography. The images simultaneously are stunning and terrifying. They trace seismic changes taking place over very short spans of time. Bedein said he sometimes would return to the same spot only a few months apart and not recognize a thing. His photography also bears witness to the demise of the Dead Sea. Experts predict it will evaporate within two to three decades.
