Blessings from a Deep River
-- Ezekiel 47:1-23; 48:30-35; Psalm 91:11-13; Proverbs 17:1
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water,
flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the
front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the
right side of the temple, south of the altar. He brought me out by way
of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer
gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right
side.
And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he
measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the
water came up to my ankles. Again he measured one thousand and brought
me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured
one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist.
Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not
cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a
river that could not be crossed. He said to me, "Son of man, have you
seen this?" Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the
river.
When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many
trees on one side and the other. Then he said to me: "This water flows
toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the
sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. And it shall be
that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live.
There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go
there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the
river goes. It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to
En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish
will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly
many. But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given
over to salt. Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will
grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither,
and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month,
because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for
food, and their leaves for medicine."
Thus says the Lord GOD: "These are the borders by which you shall
divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel.
Joseph shall have two portions. You shall inherit it equally with one
another; for I raised My hand in an oath to give it to your fathers,
and this land shall fall to you as your inheritance.
"This shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea,
by the road to Hethlon, as one goes to Zedad, Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim
(which is between the border of Damascus andthe border of Hamath), to
Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran). Thus the boundary
shall be from the Sea to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus; and as for
the north, northward, it is the border of Hamath. This is the north
side.
"On the east side you shall mark out the border from between Hauran and
Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan,
and along the eastern side of the sea. This is the east side.
"The south side, toward the South, shall be from Tamar to the waters of
Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. This is the south
side, toward the South.
"The west side shall be the Great Sea, from the southern boundary until
one comes to a point opposite Hamath. This is the west side.
"Thus you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the
tribes of Israel. It shall be that you will divide it by lot as an
inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who dwell among you
and who bear children among you. They shall be to you as native-born
among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you
among the tribes of Israel. And it shall be that in whatever tribe the
stranger dwells, there you shall give him his inheritance," says the
Lord GOD.
"These are the exits of the city. On the north side, measuring four
thousand five hundred cubits (the gates of the city shall be named
after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for
Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi; on the east side,
four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Joseph,
one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan; on the south side,
measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for
Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun; on the west
side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one
gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. All the
way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city
from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE."
Ezekiel 47:1-23; 48:30-35
WORSHIP:
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
Psalm 91:11-13
WISDOM:
Better is a dry morsel with quietness,
Than a house full of feasting with strife.
Proverbs 17:1
