Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

(Colossians 1:26,27)

mystery ... which is Christ in you

Ezekiel shows earthly trees. John shows spiritual trees that bear the fruits of the spirit.
I Disagree, Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:1-2 is the very same eternal river and tree of life

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Ezekiel 47:12KJV
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Revelation 22:1-2KJV
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Jesus Christ at the Second Coming will be presented to the world in the "elect from the four winds," whose entrance into the eastern gate of the Third Temple will become "the sign of the Son of Man in heaven."

The moment the eastern gate of the Third Temple closes will be that "twinkling of an eye" that will change the status of the people who enter these gates:

Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. (Ezekiel 44:2)

It is shown here:

A future united Israel on this earth isnt Found in scripture
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

(Ezekiel 37:20-22)

In the previous verses, God explained that these two sticks are the house of Judah (the Jews) and the house of Joseph (Ephraim, the lost tribes of the Northern Kingdom that had mingled with the Gentiles and were now gathered together by the Gospel).

After the construction of the Temple (Ezekiel 40-42), the "glory of the Lord" will appear in the Temple, which are the messengers of Christ from all nations:

Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ. (2 Corinthians 8:23)

When on the tenth day, on Yom Kippur, the eastern gate is closed forever, it will be announced that the Lord God has entered through these gates:

Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. (Ezekiel 44:2)

After this, the Jews will receive the territory promised by God, from the bed of Wadi el-Arish in the south to the cities of Khan Shaykhun, Hama, Sadad, El-Qaryatein in the north, they will receive all of Lebanon, the coastal part of Syria, Gaza, Judea, Samaria and part of the Egyptian territory to the middle of Sinai - see Ezekiel 47.

Next, the resurrected tribes of Israel will receive land plots, in accordance with the description in the 48th chapter.

israel640-jpg.53236


Thus Israel will become the incarnation of the Word of God, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Word of God will be incarnate in Israel.

You have been "Clearly Shown" that the descriptions seen in Ezekiel Chapters 47 & 48 is the very same descriptions seen in Revelation 22:1-2 in the eternal New Jerusalem

1.) We see the river and tree of life, fruit on the tree, leaves for healing/medicine in both accounts?

2.) We see the gates of the city having the names of the 12 tribes of Israel in both accounts?

Conclusion: Ezekiel Chapters 47 & 48 is exactly the same place as Revelation 22:1-2, in describing the eternal New Jerusalem, its simple for those not hindered by a pre-determined biased belief that a temporary kingdom on earth is seen, in complete disregard of the eternal river and tree of life

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Ezekiel 47:12KJV
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Revelation 22:1-2KJV
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

(The Eternal Kingdom)

Eternal "New Jerusalem"

Ezekiel 48:31KJV

31 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

Revelation 21:12KJV
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

Guess what? I already agree with you about what you submitted, even before you submitted it. I don't have a dispute with any of that. And I also don't agree with some Premils that this there will be this 3rd temple where animal sacrificing resumes. But even so, I still have to wonder why some of those 9 chapters are not true, thus never fulfilled, while some of it is true, thus fulfilled? Or how about this? What you brought up in Revelation 22 explains what you brought up in Ezekiel. What then in Revelation or elsewhere explains the parts involving animal sacrificing recorded in Ezekiel pertaining to this temple? That is the 100,000 dollar question, in my mind anyway.

Edited to add: On 2nd thought I might not fully agree with you after all since I now just noticed that something you disagreed with is something I don't disagree with myself, thus I think you are in error to disagree. More on that later, maybe.

Ezekiel shows two specific rivers whose water will flow from under the threshold of the Third Temple. These are the Nahal Arugot and Nahal Hever streams in the Judean Desert. The first flows into the Dead Sea near Ein Gedi, the second - near Ein Eglaim. These are specific places in Israel.

nahalim_en.jpg

And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever two 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. (Ezekiel 47:9)

two rivers - The KJV is incorrectly translated, the Hebrew is dual, "two rivers."

How Ezekiel's prophecy determines the exact location of the Temple and how the water will flow there is shown in this video:

There will be a new Temple, as magnificent as shown, but it won't have the Star of Rephaim on the roof. That symbol is for Satans synagogue.

There should be no controversy over when any humans will receive immortality. Revelation 20:11-15 is clear: Only after the Millennium and the final Judgment, will anyone become immortal.
That is when 1 Corinthians 15:50-56 takes place, not before. Proved by only then will Death be no more. Revelation 20:4

Can you not read and comprehend what Ezekiel 47:12 plainly says? What do you take this to mean---neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed? Do you take that to mean no one ever eats of it, thus it is never consumed? Surely not.

Surely then, it means the reason it is not consumed is because there is a never ending supply of it. And guess what that means? It means it has to fit an age that is never ending, don't you think? Isn't the age Revelation 22 pertaining to never ending?

There you go then, you are mistaken if you disagree Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:1-2 is the very same eternal river and tree of life. Of course they are the same. That's plain common sense, since fruit that can't be consumed because it is an endless supply demands that it has to fit an age that is also endless. Revelation 21-22 pertains to an endless age, does it not?

Your claim is "False"

Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Or how about this? What you brought up in Revelation 22 explains what you brought up in Ezekiel. What then in Revelation or elsewhere explains the parts involving animal sacrificing recorded in Ezekiel pertaining to this temple? That is the 100,000 dollar question, in my mind anyway.
Ezekiel Chapters 40-46 represents the 2nd Zerubabbel temple built in 536BC before the cross of Calvary

Ezekiel Chapters 47-48 Represents the eternal New Jerusalem and Kingdom I. The new heaven and earth

Many Claim Ezekiel Chapters 40-46, Represents A Future Temple In A Millennium On Earth, Is This True?​


As clearly shown, Ezekiel Chapter 43 showed the temple "Pattern" to the House of Israel in the Babylonian Captivity let "Them" measure, Ezekiel was instructed to write the ordinances and law in "Their" sight, that "They" keep them, not some future generation as many "Falsely" claim

The temple seen in Ezekiel Chapters 40-46 is nothing more than the 2nd Zerubbabel Temple built 536BC after the Babylonian Captivity, where animal sacrifice for "Sin" was was instructed by "God", prior to the shed blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary, don't be deceived

Ezekiel 43:10-11 & 19-21KJV
10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, a young bullock for a sin offering.
20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

That star looks like a hexagon.
When I search where the actual star of David mentioned in the Hebrew text specifically. When I search it I get the following,

There are no Hebrew scriptures that mention the “Star of David” specifically. The Star of David, also known as the Magen David, is a symbol that originated in medieval Europe and was not mentioned in ancient Hebrew texts.

The term “Magen David” (Hebrew for “Shield of David”) appears to have originated in the 14th century in kabbalistic texts, specifically in the Sefer ha-Gevul, written by a grandson of Naḥmanides in the early 14th century. This text refers to the hexagram as “Magen David” and contains the same magical name as in an
amulet from the same period.

The amulet being referred to is a hexagram, a six-pointed star, which was used as a protective charm in many medieval and later manuscripts. This hexagram was often composed of certain holy names and their combinations, and was believed to have magical powers. It was also known as the “shield of David” and was used as a talisman to ward off evil.

The Star of David is mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud (Pesachim 117b) as an epithet for God, referred to as the “Shield of David” (Magen David). This is the only direct reference to the Star of David in the Talmud.

Not originating from the Talmud itself which references Jewish legends, Kabbalistic texts, and medieval Jewish mysticism, which later influenced the symbol’s widespread adoption as a Jewish emblem.

Revelation 21-22 pertains to an endless age, does it not?
We Agree!

Exactly what I've been saying all along as I have posted this numerous time

Ezekiel 47:12 & Revelation 22:1-2 represents (The Eternal Kingdom) in the very same river and tree of life being present

It's amazing how Millennialist falsely claim Ezekiel Chapters 47 & 48 represents a mortal kingdom on this earth for 1,000 years

Wikipedia Remphan: (also spelled Rephan; Koinē Greek: Ῥαιφάν) is a word mentioned by Stephen at the time of his death in the Book of Acts 7:43 in the New Testament referring to an object of idolatrous worship:

Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. (Acts 7:43)

It is generally agreed by Biblical scholars to be the same as the Hebrew Kiyyun or Chiun (Hebrew: כִּיּוּן), mentioned in Amos 5:26.[1][2] Since the words "Kiyyun" ("Chiun") and "Remphan" are each hapax legomenon, there is debate whether they are meant as common or proper nouns.[3] There is general agreement among bible scholars, however, that both remphan and chiun refer to the planet Saturn.[4]

Amos 5:26-27KJV
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.

Thank you Truth7t7, Yes, I had read similar in the search. I got 2 Samuel 22:31 and Psalm 3:3 as references to. The search mentions that these verses do not describe the Star of David as we would know it today. Instead, they may be referencing the “shield” or “protection” of God, which is metaphorically linked to David, describing God as a shield or protector, rather than a physical star-shaped symbol. The term “Magen David” (or Shield of David) was a later rabbinical development and is not found in the original Hebrew text.

I was curious about just that.

Your claim is "False"

Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ
You did not understand what is written in the first chapter of Genesis, therefore you do not understand all the subsequent Scripture. Genesis describes the creation of the INNER world in man:

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

he hath set the world in their heart - This is about the creation of the world in the first chapter of Genesis.

The Scriptures define the terms used in the creation story:

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. (Откровение 17:15)

It is written about this same "water":

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2)

Here are described savages of the biological species homo sapiens, who were in the darkness of their ignorance and had no idea about God.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3)

Here we must pay attention to two words: "said" and "light". That God SAID indicates the appearance of the Word of God:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

This verse refers us to Genesis 1:3, where the Word of God and the Light first appear:

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (John 1:9)

According to Scripture, "light" is not photons:

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: (Proverbs 6:23)

the law is light - Torah is Light.

For God, 1 day equals 1000 years:

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. (Psalms 90:4)

Therefore, 6 days of creation equal 6000 years before the appearance of Adam, a modern type of social man, not a savage.

For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the nine* parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.

(2 Esdras 14:11,12)

* - There is a mistake in the KJV, it is translated as "ten", but it is "nine", I corrected it.

Ezra lived in the middle of the millennium, about 2,500 years ago. 9,000 years and another half a millennium had passed since the creation of the world. And then there was still half a millennium and 2,000 years ahead. This is the age of Adam. Then comes the age of Christ, the Millennial Kingdom.

The creation of the world began about 10,000 years BC with the emergence of the first cities. It was then that Jericho appeared. Humanity went from savages to the creation of Adam in about 6,000 years. Then, about 4,000 years BC, the first empires appeared - the Sumerians and Ancient Egypt. Together with the formation of these empires, the modern type of man was formed: Adam.

This is described in Genesis.

In this world of Adam, God created the "earth" - the religious ideas of people. God created the "sea" - the unbelieving world, where people swim like fish in water (and the apostles later caught them with the net of the Heavenly Kingdom). God created the sky, which is the firmament of the Holy Spirit. The sages and teachers of mankind relied on this firmament of the Holy Spirit, they, like the stars in the sky, served as a spiritual guide for those living in the flesh in religions.

God created "birds" - angels. God created "beasts", which Adam gave names to. These are not biological animals, but qualities of the soul, for example: "lion" - courage, "hare" - cowardice, "ox" - hard work, "wolf" - predatory, "donkey" - stubbornness. Adam gave them names - this means that words defining these qualities of the soul appeared in the human language: courage, cowardice, hard work, rapacity, stubbornness. But none of these qualities could become a helper for Man. And then from the bone, from the essence of Man, God created a helper for him: Eve, who is an allegorical image of the people surrounding Adam. In Hebrew, the word "Eve" means "Opinion". The opinion of those around him became a helper for man in his affairs.

This entire INNER world of modern man "in Adam" will be subjected to the fire of Judgment, according to the description in Revelation and other prophetic books of the Bible.

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
This speaks of a change in people's internal ideas about the heavenly and the earthly. What people now consider high - wealth - will turn out to be an abomination, just as God looks at wealth.
Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
"The sea is no more" means that the unbelieving world will no longer exist, all people will believe in God and Jesus Christ.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The Heavenly Jerusalem is the city INSIDE the hearts of believers when they see the fulfillment of God's word in the material world. We will rejoice and "ascend" into the Heavenly Jerusalem when we see the Third Temple built, as described by the prophet Ezekiel. We will rejoice when the city of Yahweh Shammah is built in Israel.

The definition of the term "Heavenly Jerusalem" is given by Isaiah:

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. (Isaiah 65:18)
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Here, as in Genesis, the "sun" is the image of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The "moon" is the image of the nominal Church, which should shine with the light of Christ, but has now become "like blood", a club of interests, a sensual get-together.

The "stars" fell to the "earth" of their carnal denominations.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
This sign will be the entrance of the elect from the four winds into the eastern gates of the Third Temple. And Christians in denominations will cry, because this will be the end of the Church era. The Christian religion will end here and all Christian structures will be of no use to anyone.
1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
Those who built religion from the "straw" of religious rituals - all their work will burn.
Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
For many, this will be their complete downfall.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
These are all allegorical, artistic images. The entire current world system will collapse. The entire world of the 7 empires of the beast-666 - from Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the USA - all this will crumble and become empty, representing no value in the eyes of people.
Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Here the "flesh" of the people is its numbers, the "eyes" of the people is the spirit of the people, the "tongue" of the people is the language they speak.
Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
"Mountains" are teachings in religions. For example, "Mount of Olives" is the teaching about the Second Coming, this teaching Jesus gave us while on the Mount of Olives with his disciples. There is "Mount Zion" - this is Zionism, the teaching about our return to our historical and biblical homeland.
Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
This will happen after the Millennial Kingdom. Also an allegorical picture.
