The Mediterranean is practically a tideless sea, and yet the
visitor to its waters is puzzled at the discovery of what
appears to be a tide. But the explanation is that there is a
connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean
Sea, so that what seems to be a tide at Gibraltar is simply the
rolling waves from the tide of the mighty Atlantic into the sea
that washes the shores of southern Europe and northern Africa.
As long as the channel at the Straits of Gibraltar is open,
so long will there be this rolling in, and so there will be a
constant influx of blessing while communication with God is
unhindered.
