What will the fish in the healed Dead Sea be like?
According to Ezekiel 47, the healed Dead Sea will teem with a very great multitude of fish. Their kinds will match the fish of the great sea, the Mediterranean, and fishermen will stand along its shores from En Gedi spreading nets, because the waters are healed and everything will live wherever the river comes.
Les explains that Ezekiel 47 describes a river flowing from under the sanctuary in Jerusalem during the Kingdom, after Christ has returned. The fishermen will stand on the shores of the Dead Sea from En Gedi to En Eglium, with places to spread their nets. The fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Mediterranean, and very many. He notes these are physical elements of the Kingdom, which will be on earth, glorious, productive, with no curse or sin, no poverty or famine. He also alludes to Isaiah 11, where the wolf, lamb, and bear feed together, and Daniel 2's kingdom covering the whole earth.
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.
