In the Bible it says that 'north will become south, and south will become north...'. What does that mean?
And where in the bible does it say that?
Thanks

This can be found in the book of Daniel- Chapter 11. The chapter is about a dream of prophesy that Daniel has. An angel comes to him in his sleep and reveals the words in Chapter 11. There are several fulfillments of this particualr vision, starting with one in Daniel's time period.
The part to which you refer to is that the positions of the north and south kingdoms are traded- meaning one (the south)that was the more powerful and wealthy became the opposite, and the other kingdom (the north)took its place as the world power of its day. There are several fulfillments of this prophesy of Daniel throughout history, including the four kingdoms that came about when Alexander the Great died, as well as modern day fulfillment, in Germany and Russia.

There's a lot in the bible that doesn't have clear explainations.
One possible answer (theory only) is that the earth will suddenly reverse its polarity. That means magnetic compasses would point south instead of north. There is geologic evidence that, not only is this possible, but it has happened repeatedly throughout history.
Nobody knows what such an event would do to the earth, because no people have been around to experience it. I'd bet it will be cataclysmic. It would probably have drastic effects on everything from weather to techtonic activity.

Ecclesiastes 1
6 Maketh his round by the south, and turneth again to the north: the spirit goeth forward surveying all places round about, and returneth to his circuits. 7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea doth not overflow: unto the place from whence the rivers come, they return, to flow again. 8 All things are hard: man cannot explain them by word. The eye is not filled with seeing, neither is the ear filled with hearing. 9 What is it that hath been? the same thing that shall be. What is it that hath been done? the same that shall be done. 10 Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.

I just look through the Strong Concordance, and it is not in there at all. I have looked up anything that has north and south in it, and there is nothing. Sorry.

I don't know, I do not think that is written in the bibile. You best find out about Jesus by reading yourself instead of listening to uniformed people.

Do you think you could specify what verse you found this in?
