What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
And they shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill, flowing streams of water on the day of the slaughter of many, when the towers fall. In this place, the Jews attribute to the power of the Roman Empire the many who were killed and the towers that collapsed, about which the Apostle also speaks (2 Thess. 7): Only he who now holds it, let him hold it until it is taken away. …
Thomas Aquinas
681. Second, he promises abundance of water: and there shall be. The Jews say that these things are to be fulfilled literally at the end of the world; the slaughter of many, the Romans, according to them, which is preposterous. Or it may be metaphorical speech, so that the water signifies the consolation which they had after the return from captivity and the destruction of Babylon. Or, mystically, it may signify the teaching of Christ, below: I will open rivers in the high hills, and fountains in the midst of the plains (Isa 41:18).
