Holy Waters and Holy Land
In this chapter we have prophecy of things to come presented in an allegory.
It covers two areas, Holy Water and Holy Land. Briefly it describes:
- A vision of the Holy Waters, their rise, extent and healing
characteristics, the large amount of fish in then and an account of
the trees that grow on the banks of these waters. It is obvious
that the Prophet is not referring to the city sewers of Jerusalem
either from the homes or the Temple. We believe that the Prophet
may have already explained it in Chapter 14, "living waters that
shall go out of Jerusalem, half towards the former sea and half
towards the hinder sea." John in Rev. 22 speaks of the "water of
life" that nurtures everything around it.
- The division of the Land of Canaan, divided, by lot, to the tribes
and to the stranger among them. This appears not to refer to the
original division of the Promise Land but rather to a future promise
of eternal inheritance. Surly speaking of the coming of the Messiah.
