What sealed the fountains of the great deep?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 6

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
(Genesis 7:11) NKJV

At the end of the second day Earth was a solid sphere. We modeled how the solid Earth was formed into a hollow vessel, like a potter shaping clay, as the water surrounding the Earth passes into it’s interior.

How did the sea return to the great deep?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 5

You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
(Deuteronomy 5:8) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) propose a model for the internal structure of the Earth on the third day. The hydrological cycle is based on the location of Jerusalem, formerly Eden.

Where did the rivers go?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 4

All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.
(Ecclesiastes 1:7) ESV

The preacher ponders the significance of rivers running into the sea. It may be a rhetorical question which illustrates the mysteries of God. Or it’s part of a hydrological cycle in which the answer is logical and obvious.

Where is the great deep?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 3

The waters nourished it;
the deep made it grow tall,
making its rivers flow
around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
to all the trees of the field.
(Ezekiel 31:4) English Standard Version

In a prophecy against Assyria, in which it’s compared to the greatest tree in the garden of Eden, we’re told that the deep.. sent out her little rivers to water all of the trees. It’s a hydrological cycle.

Literally Literal

Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
(Psalms 42:7) ESV

“Deep calls to deep” may be flowery poetic language intended to teach us something spiritual. However we’re going to use it as the literal description of a hydrological cycle. It’s an application of Hypothesis 22.

What was protecting the North, West and South?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 2

Then at the east side of the garden he put living creatures and a flaming sword which turned in all directions. This was to keep anyone from coming near the tree that gives life.
(Genesis 3:24) Good News Translation

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) confirm our hypothesis that Eden was the highest part of a mountain that filled the whole Earth: There were no Cherubim or flaming swords on the North, West and South of Eden.

Where did the water come from?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 1

When the Lord God made the universe, there were no plants on the earth and no seeds had sprouted, because he had not sent any rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land; but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground.
(Genesis 2:4-6) Good News Translation

A stream flowed in Eden and watered the garden; beyond Eden it divided into four rivers. The first river is the Pishon; it flows around the country of Havilah. (Pure gold is found there and also rare perfume and precious stones.) The second river is the Gihon; it flows around the country of Cush. The third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria, and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
(Genesis 2:10-14) Good News Translation

The simple answer to the question: where did the water come from which watered the surface of the land? is: it up welled at Eden. But, how did it get to Eden if there hadn’t been any rain?

The Logic of Eden

A stream flowed in Eden and watered the garden; beyond Eden it divided into four rivers. The first river is the Pishon; it flows around the country of Havilah. (Pure gold is found there and also rare perfume and precious stones.) The second river is the Gihon; it flows around the country of Cush. The third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria, and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
(Genesis 2:10-14) Good News Translation

The logic of Eden is deduced from a simple observation: IF rivers from Eden watered the surface of the Earth, AND water flows downhill, THEN Eden must have been the highest point on the Earth.

A Pure River of Water of Life

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
(Revelation 22:1-2) ESV

We live in a universe governed by physical laws. One of them is the first law of thermodynamics which says that energy can’t be created or destroyed, just transformed from one form to another.

The Mount of Olives

Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
(Zechariah 14:3-4) KJV

We can pull together several loose threads we have which describe an old and a new hydrological system, the great deep and a new deep.
