It is a combination of verses from two 'End Times' prophecies when God
will return to restore the Jews as rightful rulers of the world and
destroy their enemies. (Old Testament prophets tended to be a bit
biased).

Zechariah Chapter 14
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as
when He fighteth in the day of battle.
4 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 cleft
in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, so that
there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall
remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go
out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of
them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.

Ezekiel 47:8
And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and
goes down into the Arabah, and enters the sea; when the water flows
into the sea, the water will become fresh.
