—Ezekiel 47:1-12

It is my understanding that as the rivers and streams flow toward the oceans, the water picks up minerals and sediment as it flows along. This is one reason that the oceans contain salt water rather than fresh. How interesting that the water flowing from the temple sanctuary was not only fresh, but it made even the water of the Dead Sea fresh. Fishermen could catch various kinds of fish and fruit trees grew along the banks. These trees could bear fruit every month that could be used for food and their leaves could be used for healing. How magnificent is the restoring power of the water of our God!
