Some of you may already know this, but I wanted to mention this current nature development so that we can continue to observe it together.
I believe we can already see the beginning of the prophecy in Ezekiel 47 unfolding today. The increasing natural events occurring at the Dead Sea seem too frequent to be a coincidence, and I think this indicates that the time for the return of our Messiah is drawing nearer.

Since the 1980s, sinkholes at the Dead Sea have been observed. Initially, it was thought to be a rare occurrence. However, this phenomenon has become increasingly frequent over time, and today there are about 9,600 sinkholes, with an average of two new ones opening each day. The sea level drops by over a meter each year. As one approaches the Dead Sea, the sinkholes become larger, with some reaching depths of up to 200 meters and being filled with substantial amounts of water. The geological situation on the Israeli side has reached dramatic proportions in some areas. The sinkholes appear suddenly and unpredictably, leading to many regions around the Dead Sea being closed off for safety reasons.
Zechariah tells us the following about the future of the Dead Sea:
Zechariah 14:8
Zechariah 14:8
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.
We read that on "that day", living water will flow into the Dead Sea. This day refers to the time after the Lord has come with His holy ones (as we read in the context).

Can we see the beginning of the prophecy slowly coming to fulfillment here? It would not be far-fetched to think that we are witnessing the start of this prophecy, as it is an increasingly frequent phenomenon and continues to progress. According to our hope, we also believe that it will not be long before it is fully realized. So, it really does along with the timing.
Some sinkholes actually contain fresh water rather than salt water, even though the craters are close to the Dead Sea. Where does this water come from? Quote from timesofisrael:

„This underground freshwater comes from winter rains that fall from Jerusalem to Hebron and, after seeping into the underground Judean Mountain Aquifer, eventually make their way downhill to the Dead Sea.“
So, it comes from Jerusalem and flows into the Dead Sea. And what does the Holy Scripture say about this?
Ezekiel 47:1
Ezekiel 47:1
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.
The water springs from under the temple in Jerusalem.
It is known that this water actually originates as warm fresh water from Jerusalem, which the emerges as a source in the sinkhole craters.

Ezekiel 47:7-10
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Currently, there is no life in the Dead Sea itself except for microorganisms, but life is emerging around the sea. Where the Dead Sea once was a hundred years ago, vegetation is now progressing with trees and edible plants (Ezekiel 47:12). In some of the freshwater ponds forming in the sinkholes, many small fish are found. It is water that contains life and is located next to the Dead Sea.
On the Jordanian side, there are also sinkholes, but not nearly as many as on the Israeli side. According to my research, the freshwater ponds that are forming are found only on the Israeli side, not on the Jordanian side. Therefore, fish are only present there. Thus, these prophecies not only pertain to the Dead Sea but also have an impact on the lives of the Israeli people. As the Scripture tells us, from En-Gedi (where we find most of these sinkholes) to En-Eglaim, fishermen will spread their nets. And humanity has no control over this natural development; it is solely in God’s hands.

"The flip side of the destruction is that the sinkholes have also created an impenetrable nature reserve. Ironically, sinkholes will protect the fragile ecology from human development better than any amount of environmental lobbying."
And from Verse 11 we know that wherever the river flows, there will be life, but the salt in the swamps and marshes will not disappear. They will stay.
