Where will the fishermen stand in the prophecy of Ezekiel 47?
In Ezekiel 47, the fishermen will stand upon the Dead Sea, along its shores from En Gedi all the way to En Eglium. This occurs when the Kingdom is set up and Christ has returned, after the river from the sanctuary heals the waters so fish become very many.
Les teaches that Ezekiel 47 is prophecy spoken in symbolism. He points to verse 10, where a river comes out from underneath the sanctuary at Jerusalem, as also seen in Zechariah. When the Kingdom is set up and Christ has returned, the fishers shall stand upon it—that is, the Dead Sea, from En Gedi even unto En Eglium. Les notes En Gedi is still a little village on the Dead Sea's shores. Prophetically, fishermen will stand on those shores of the Dead Sea, now made alive with all kinds of fish like the Mediterranean. There will be a place to spread forth their nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, very many. Everything that lives and moves where the river comes will live, because the waters are healed.
And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
