Ezequiel 47:10 RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 47:1-12

This part of Ezekiel's vision must so necessarily have a mystical and spiritual meaning that thence we conclude the other parts of his vision have a mystical and spiritual meaning also; for it cannot be applied to the waters brought by pipes into the temple for the washing of the sacrifices, the keeping of the temple clean, and the carrying off of those waters, for that would be to turn this pleasant river into a sink or common sewer. That prophecy, Zech. 14:8; may explain it, of living waters... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 47:10

And it shall come to pass ,.... In Gospel times: what follows had a fulfilment in the first times of the Gospel, and will have a greater in the latter times of it: that the fishers shall stand upon it ; upon the brink of the river, or the shore of the sea, whose waters will be healed by this river running into them. These "fishers" are the apostles of Christ, who, of fishermen, were made fishers of men by him; to whom he gave a call, and a commission, and gifts qualifying them to preach... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 47:10

The fishers shall stand upon it - On the above plan of interpretation these must mean - The apostles of our Lord Jesus. The preachers of the everlasting Gospel. See Matthew 4:19 . From En-gedi - At the southern extremity of the Dead Sea. Unto En-eglaim - At the northern extremity of the same. Their fish shall be according to their kinds - Every kind of fish, and the fish all excellent of their kinds. All nations, and kindreds, and people shall be called by the Gospel; it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:1-12

The holy waters. The beauty and even sublimity of this portion of Ezekiel's prophecies must impress every reader of imagination and taste. Upon the suggestion of the waters of Siloam taking their rise from the temple rock, and the watercourse of the Kedron threading its way among the rocky deserts until it reaches the expanse of the Dead Sea, the poet-prophet describes a river which has its source in the sanctuary of Jehovah, and which broadens and deepens as it flows, until it becomes a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:1-12

The river of salvation. The prophet has advanced from step to step in his outline sketch of Israel's destined glory. The temple is now complete. The throne is to be erected on a foundation of righteousness. The better order for sacrificial worship is instituted. The climax of blessing is almost reached. One great defect had been manifest in Israel's past history. They lived for themselves. They were the exclusive favorites of Jehovah. This defect shall be remedied. Israel shall henceforth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:1-12

The river of life. In this noble vision we have a prophecy of that great redeeming power which Jesus Christ should introduce to the world, and we have some insight given us of its triumphs in the far future. Of this wonderful river we have to inquire into I. ITS DIVINE SOURCE . The river flowed "from under the threshold of the house"—from the very dwelling-place of Jehovah. The river of life has its source in the Divine, in God himself, in his fatherly yearning, in his boundless... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:8-11

Life and healing. The stream that bursts from the temple rock is to flow through the dry ravines of the eastern wilderness until it reaches the Dead Sea, the desolate waters of which are to be miraculously healed by the coming of the life-bearing flood. Then fish shall swarm in the purified sea , " and everything shall live whither the river cometh." This is a parable of the course of the gospel of Christ. I. THE GRACE OF CHRIST FLOWS TO THE MOST DEAD AND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 47:10

As another consequence of the inflowing of this river into the Dead Sea, it is stated that the fishers (rather, fishers , without the article) should stand upon its banks, from Engedi, even unto Englaim; there shall be a place to spread forth nets. The Revised Version more correctly renders, fishers shall stand by it ; from Engedi even unto Eneglaim , shall be a place for the spreading of nets ; or, more literally, a place of spreading , out for nets (comp. Ezekiel 26:5 ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 47:10

“En-gedi” (see 1 Samuel 23:29) was about the middle of the western shore of the Dead Sea.En-eglaim does not occur elsewhere. Its form indicates that it was one of the double cities of Moab (see Ezekiel 25:9 note). It has been identified with “Ain-el-Feshkah” to the north on the western bank of the Dead Sea. On this supposition, “from En-eglaim to En-gedi” would be the line of coast from the most northern fountain to the principal fountain southward. read more
