Ezekiel's Vision of Waters Coming from the Lord's House |
Ezekiel 47:1-23 The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks] |
Afterward, he brought me again to the door of the [Lord's] house. And [I] [saw] waters [flowed] out from under the threshold of the [Lord's] house [toward the East.] For the [front] of the [Lord's] house [faced] East & the waters came [flowing] down from under the right side of the house, at the South side of the altar. |
[Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be [on] that day, that Living Waters shall go from Jerusalem: half of them toward the [Eastern] sea, [a.k.a. The Dead Sea,] & half toward the [Western] sea, [a.k.a. The Mediterranean Sea] & it shall be in the summer & in the winter.] |
Then, he brought me out the [road] of the North Gate, & led me [around] [on] the [road outside] to the [outer] gate by the [road facing East] & [saw] there, waters ran out on the right side. And when the man, [who] had the [measuring] line in his hand, went [toward the East,] he measured 1,000 cubits. |
And he brought me through the waters. The waters were [up] to the [ankles.] Again, he measured 1,000 [cubits] & brought me through the waters & the waters were [up to] the knees. Again, he measured 1,000 & brought me through & the waters were [up] to the [waist.] |
Afterward, he measured 1,000 & it was a river that I couldn't [cross] over: for the waters [had] risen & [were] waters to swim in, a river that couldn't be [crossed] over. |
And he said to me, Son of man, [have] you seen this? Then, he brought me & [made] me return to the brink, [a.k.a. edge,] of the river. [Revelation 22:1 And he [showed] me a pure river of [the] Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God & [the throne] of the Lamb.] |
Now, when I had returned, [I] [saw,] at the [river's] bank, [there] were many trees on one side & on the other. Then, he said to me, These waters [flow] out toward the East [region,] & go down into the desert & go into the sea, which [is] brought [out] into the sea [so,] the waters shall be healed. |
And it shall [happen,] that everything that lives & moves, [wherever] the rivers shall [go,] shall live. And there shall be a [large] multitude of fish, because these water shall come [there, because] they shall be healed. And everything shall live, [where] the river [goes.] |
And it shall [happen,] that the fishers shall stand upon [the banks] from En Gedi, even to En Eglaim. They shall be a place [for spreading out] nets. Their fish shall be [many,] according to their [many different] [types, like] the fish of the Great Sea, [with] [exceedingly] many. |
But the [muddy] places of it & [its] marshes, shall not be healed, but they shall be [overwhelmed by] salt. And by the rivers, upon [its] bank, on this side & on that side, all trees, whose [leaves] shall not [fade] & shall grow for [food.] Neither shall the fruit [of it] [fail to produce.] |
It shall bring new fruit, according to [its] months, because their waters [flow] out of the sanctuary. And the fruit [of it] shall be for [food] & [its leaves] for medicine. [Revelation 22:2 In the midst of [its] street, on either side of the river, there was the Tree of Life, which [bears] 12 [types] of fruit & produces its] fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.] |
The Lord God says [this;] This shall be the border, [by which] you shall inherit the land, according to the 12 tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have 2 portions. And you shall [each] inherit it, one as well as another. [But] [related to this,] I lifted up [My] hand to give it to your [forefathers.] |
[Psalm 106:24-26 [Yet,] they despised the pleasant land. They [didn't believe] His Word; but [grumbled] in their tents & [didn't pay attention] to the voice of the Lord. Therefore, He lifted up His hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness. |
And this land shall fall to you for an inheritance. [Genesis 12:7 *And the Lord appeared to Abram, [a.k.a. Abraham,] and said, I will give this land to your seed, [a.k.a. offspring or descendants.] And he [built] an altar there to the Lord, Who appeared to him.] |
And this shall be the [borders] of the land toward the North side, from the Great Sea, [follow] the [road] of Hethlon, [travel a route] [like] men go to: Zedad; Hamath; Berothah; Sibraim, which [are] between the borders of Damascus & the border of Hamath, [all the way to:] Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. |
And the [borders] from the sea shall be: Hazar Enan; the border from Damascus; & [toward the North;] & from the border of Hamath. And this is the North side. |
And [on] the East side, you shall measure [the boundary] from [between] Hauran; from Damascus; and from Gilead & from the [border of the] land of Israel, [on the other side] by the Jordan [River,] from the border [all the way to the] East sea, [a.k.a. The Dead Sea.] And this is the East side. |
And the South side [is toward the] South from Tamar, even [all the way] to the Waters of Strife, [a.k.a. The Waters of Meribah,] in Kadesh, [along] the river to the Great Sea, [a.k.a. The Mediterranean Sea.] And this is the South side. |
Also, [on] the West side, [the border] shall be [from] the Great Sea, [until] a man comes [next to] Hamath. This is the West side. You shall divide this land, [like this,] to you, according to the tribes of Israel. |
And it shall [happen,] that you shall divide it by lot, [a.k.a. randomly,] for an inheritance to you & to the strangers, [who temporarily stay] among you, [who] shall [father] children among you. And they shall be to you [like] [they were] born in the country, among the children [people] of Israel. |
They shall have [an] inheritance with you, among the tribes of Israel. And it shall [happen,] that in [whichever] tribe the stranger, [temporarily stays,] you shall give him his inheritance there, says the Lord God. |
