Comments
"Mountains flowed" may mean two things:
- Mountains thaw from the power of God appearance
- Mountains slowly flowed during a very long time
Also it can be translated "mountains flowed since antiquity". See also Theology:Evolution.
What does this "besides you" mean? Does it refer to pagan gods and/or angels? May "except you" refer to Jesus?
May "not heard, not seen" refer to abstract concepts?
