Lake Tiberias, located close to the Palestinian border, is known as a lake that is thought to herald the approach of the Day of Judgment. Lake Tiberias is an important freshwater lake in Israel and is fed by the Jordan River. A significant part of Israel’s water needs are met from here. The lake has a surface area of 166 km² and is the deepest freshwater lake in the world with a depth of 43 meters. It is also the second lowest point in the world, after the Dead Sea, at 209 meters below sea level. With a coastline of approximately 53 km, Lake Tiberias is Israel’s largest freshwater lake.
Taberiye Lake takes its name from the city of Taberiye on its shore. This lake is of great importance for Muslims, Christians and Jews, as well as the fresh water source it provides. Also, future events about the lake and associated names are quite surprising. For example; It is said that strange events will occur in the lake regarding signs of the Day of Judgment, such as the Antichrist, Gog Magog, Prophet Isa and Hazrat Mahdi. Especially in a photograph taken from space recently, a striking detail about the lake has also been observed.
The Drying of the Sea of Tiberias Heralds the Doomsday
According to the hadiths of our Prophet Antichrist, It lives somewhere in the world and waits for the Sea of Tiberias to dry before it can emerge. Therefore, millions of people show great interest in this lake. Because the drying up of this lake is a sign that the Day of Judgment is approaching not only in Islam but also in other religions. The interesting thing is that the water level in Lake Tiberias is decreasing day by day. Scientists state that if the water level in the lake continues in this way, the lake may dry out completely.
Throughout history, many important events have taken place in this region. In addition, the historical ruins waiting to be discovered under the lake also increase the importance of this region. The recent increase in earthquakes under the lake indicates that the seismic activity under the lake has increased. It is thought that this will help to obtain more information about what may be under the lake.
One of the great portents of the Day of Judgment, whose names are mentioned in the Qur’an. Gog Magog communitiesWhen the time comes, they will emerge from where they are and will descend from all the hills at full speed. During their passage, the pioneers of the community will arrive at Lake Tiberias and will save all the water of the lake by drinking it. Other groups coming after them will say, “Once upon a time, there was a lot of water here.”
Interestingly, all the hadiths and other beliefs that have survived to the present day about the Lake Taberiye emphasize the drying up of the lake. However, this situation raises the idea that there may be another underlying reason for the drying of the lake. There seems to be a great secret waiting to be revealed under the lake.
Events in the Lake of Tiberias
According to a belief about Lake Tiberias, Hz. Jesus performed the miracle of walking on water here. According to the Bible, St. Jesus first fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread, then told his disciples to get on the boat and cross the street. However, the students could not reach the shore due to heavy waves. Hz. The prophet Jesus came to the boat by walking on the water and got on it and brought the disciples to the shore safely. This event, in the Christian faith, Hz. It is considered an important event that shows the power and miracles of Jesus.
In September 2013, a tremor occurred under Lake Tiberias. The tremor was minor but there were 4 more tremors over the course of 4 days and the surrounding houses shook. After 5 years, the same spot at the bottom of the lake started to shake again in July 2018. These quakes were followed by a dozen more tremors. Experts thought it was unusual activity. However, it was also emphasized that pumping into the lake to meet the country’s water needs could produce such tremors.
A large group from the Christian world said that the reason for these tremors, which occurred at the same spot under the Lake of Tiberias, was written in the Bible and Hz. It relates to some portents that will be experienced close to the return of Jesus to the world. Earthquakes, famine and epidemics to be experienced in recent times are among these portents.
One of the studies carried out in Lake Taberiye is to find the treasure of an Ottoman ship that sank in the lake on September 25, 1918. Divers work to find a great treasure they believe was sunk in the lake by the British.
Discovery at Lake Tiberias
During a recent survey of Lake Tiberias, an unexpected discovery was made. The detail, which was first noticed with a photograph taken during the research, was revealed during the exploratory dive in the lake for the continuation of the research. A huge stone structure 70 meters long and 10 meters high was discovered under the waters of Lake Tiberias. Composed of unchipped basalt stones and rocks, this huge stone deposit is thought to weigh around 60,000 tons. These giant rocks were found to be man-made. However, it is not yet fully understood what this structure is, which is thought to belong to about 5 thousand years ago.
Doing research on stone structures with today’s possibilities makes things a little more difficult due to the lake. Therefore, a few predictions are emphasized. When these stone structures are combined, they can create a single giant artifact, or thousands of years ago, during the time of the Prophet Solomon, people may have used these rocks to hide and cover something at the bottom of the lake. Regarding the lake, it is rumored that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will pull the ark of the covenant from the bottom of Lake Taberiya when the time comes. Researchers continue to work on the subject.
