Where will the living waters from Jerusalem flow during the millennial kingdom?

During the millennial kingdom, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half toward the former sea, the Mediterranean to the west, and half toward the hinder sea, the Dead Sea. Ezekiel shows the same river originating under the temple, flowing east into the desert and into the Dead Sea, healing its waters.

Les explains that Zechariah 14:8 places this in the day when the Kingdom will be set up: living water shall go out from Jerusalem, half toward the former sea, the Mediterranean to the west, and half toward the hinder sea, the Dead Sea, and it shall be so in summer and winter. He then connects this with Ezekiel 47, where Ezekiel sees the same river. Its source is under the temple in Jerusalem. From there the waters issue out toward the east country, go down into the desert, and enter the Dead Sea. When those waters are brought into the Dead Sea, its waters are healed. Everything that lives and moves wherever the river comes will live, and there will be a very great multitude of fish, because the waters come from the temple area, and every living thing will live wherever the river comes.

Zechariah 14:8

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
