Where will the fishermen stand according to Ezekiel 47:10?
According to Ezekiel 47:10, fishermen will stand on the shores of the Dead Sea, stretching from En Gedi to En Eglium. The river flowing from the sanctuary will heal those waters, making them alive with a very great multitude of fish, and there will be a place to spread their nets.
Les explains that Ezekiel 47 is prophecy spoken in symbolism. A river comes out from underneath the sanctuary at Jerusalem, similar to what was 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 all the way to En Eglium. Les notes that En Gedi is still a little village on the shores of the Dead Sea. Prophetically, fishermen will stand on those shores, and the Dead Sea will be made alive with all the fish of the Mediterranean. There will be a place to spread forth nets, and the fish will be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, very many. These are physical elements.
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.
