What does Ezekiel 47 say about a river from the sanctuary?
Ezekiel 47 describes a river flowing from beneath the sanctuary in Jerusalem, bringing healing and life wherever it goes. In the Kingdom, fishermen will stand on the Dead Sea from En Gedi to En Eglium, spreading nets because the waters are healed and filled with a great multitude of fish, like the Mediterranean.
Les teaches that Ezekiel 47 is prophecy spoken in symbolism. He notes the river comes out from underneath the sanctuary in Jerusalem, just as Zechariah also saw. When the Kingdom is set up and Christ has returned, the Dead Sea will be healed. Fishermen will stand on its shores from En Gedi to En Eglium, with a place to spread their nets. The fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the great sea—the Mediterranean—very many. Les emphasizes these are physical elements.
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
