Applying the Scriptures V

He said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then said he to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea shall the waters go which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.

It shall happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come there, and the waters of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.

It shall happen, that fishermen shall stand by it: from En Gedi even to En Eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

-Ezekiel 47:6-10 (emphasis added)


The waters will be healed. It's a promise. But these fish and these waters have proven something greater: the waters will heal.

It's a promise.

That first photograph looks like the river is kind of *brushy*. Is it?
