Notes

Ezekiel 47:11

The valuable salt deposits from the Dead Sea area would remain intact. The marshes and swamps would still contain salt.

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.
