Waters from under the Temple

Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. Rev 22:1Zec 14:8Jol 3:18Isa 55:1Ezk 47:12Jer 2:13Jhn 7:37-39Psa 46:4

Next he brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and there I saw the water trickling out from the south side. Ezk 44:2Ezk 44:4

As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits 1and led me through ankle-deep water. Ezk 40:3Act 10:45-46Act 11:16-18Act 2:33Act 2:4Luk 24:49Rev 11:1Zec 2:1

Then he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through knee-deep water. Col 1:6Rom 15:19Act 19:10-20

Again he measured a thousand cubits and led me through waist-deep water.

Once again he measured off a thousand cubits, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough for swimming—a river that could not be crossed on foot. Hab 2:14Isa 11:9Dan 2:34-35Mat 13:31-32Rev 11:15Rev 20:2-4Rev 7:9

“Son of man, do you see this?” he asked. Then he led me back to the bank of the river. Ezk 40:4Ezk 44:5Ezk 8:17Ezk 8:6Jer 1:11-13Zec 4:2Zec 5:2Mat 13:51

When I arrived, I saw a great number of trees along both banks of the river. Ezk 47:12Rev 22:21Ki 9:262Ki 2:13Gen 2:9-10 And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Sea, 2 the water there becomes fresh. 3 Jos 3:16Deu 3:172Ki 2:19-22Deu 4:49Isa 44:3-5Isa 35:7Isa 41:17-19Isa 43:20 Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish. Jhn 7:37-38Jhn 6:63Isa 55:1Jhn 4:14Eph 2:1-5Psa 78:16Act 2:41Act 2:47

Fishermen will stand by the shore; from En-gedi to En-eglaim they will spread their nets to catch fish of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea. 4 Mat 4:19Num 34:6Psa 104:252Ch 20:2Ezk 47:15Ezk 48:28Jhn 21:3-11Luk 5:4-10

But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. Deu 29:23Rev 22:112Pe 2:19-22Heb 10:26-31Heb 6:4-8Jdg 9:45Jer 17:6Mrk 9:48-49

Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of all kinds will grow. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for healing.” Rev 22:2Psa 1:3Ezk 47:7Jer 17:8Gen 2:9Psa 92:12Job 8:16Isa 60:21

The Borders of the Land

This is what the Lord GOD says: “These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall receive two portions. 5 Ezk 48:4-6Gen 48:5Jer 3:18Num 34:2-121Ch 5:1Jer 31:1Gen 49:26 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with an uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will fall to you as an inheritance. Ezk 20:5-6Gen 12:7Ezk 48:29Deu 1:8Ezk 20:28Ezk 20:42Gen 13:15Gen 15:7

This shall be the boundary of the land: Num 34:8Ezk 48:1

On the north side it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through Lebo-hamath to Zedad, Berothah, and Sibraim 6(which is on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. 2Sa 8:8Ezk 48:1Num 13:21Gen 14:15Zec 9:21Ch 18:51Ki 8:65Act 9:2 So the border will run from the Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary. Ezk 48:1Num 34:9

On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Eastern Sea and as far as Tamar. 7 This will be the eastern boundary. Gen 13:10Gen 31:23Gen 31:47Jdg 10:8Job 40:23Num 32:1

On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and along the Brook of Egypt 8to the Great Sea. This will be the southern boundary. Deu 32:51Ezk 48:28Num 20:13Num 34:5Deu 33:8Isa 27:12Psa 81:7Jos 12:3

And on the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western boundary. Ezk 48:1Num 34:6

You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners who dwell among you and who have children. You are to treat them as native-born Israelites; along with you, they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. Col 3:11Eph 3:6Act 11:18Rom 10:12Isa 56:6-7Act 15:9Eph 2:19-22Isa 14:1 In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD.
