Notes

Ezekiel 47:10

From En-gedi on the west side of the Dead Sea to En-eglaim on the east side, the Dead Sea would change from death to life.

The Dead Sea is filled with salt and other minerals. Because of this, nothing can live in it. In Ezekiel’s vision, the river would make its waters fresh. The sea would be filled with many kinds of fish. There would be enough fish to support a large fishing industry.

Ezekiel 47:1–12

Once the temple was restored to its central place among God’s people, its life-giving influence would flow outward.

Ezekiel pictures this influence as a river. As the river moves away from the temple, it brings change. It turns places of death into places of life.
