How to understand the Bible in reverse- NASA style

"Mexico's Sierra Cucapah mountains were, surprisingly, lowered, not raised, by the earthquake."

I've been quite fascinated by the "mountain and valley" language in the Bible. I think blind literalism is a dangerous approach to scriptural interpretation. However, sometimes, a literal physical phenomenon helps us understand elements of a literary style. In the case of eschatology or "end times" the literary style is apocalyptic. Indeed there are many instances of the use of "mountains" and "valleys" in the canonized Bible. But even in the extra-Biblical, early and ancient books we can find some examples of this language. That passages that strike me most in connection to the above article link follow from Enoch:

  And [these mountains], that you have seen; the mountain

of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver,

and the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, 

and the mountain of lead. All these in front of the Chosen One

will be like wax before fire, and like the water that

comes down from above onto [these mountains] 

they will be weak under his feet.

Enoch 52:6

  And in front of him [these mountains] will not be firm 

like the earth, and the hills will be like a spring of water; 

and the righteous will have rest from the ill-treatment

of the sinners."

Enoch 53:7
