Ezekiel 47:3

"Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side."

Key Reflection

This passage symbolizes a journey of spiritual cleansing and renewal. The flow of water from the temple, starting at the north gate and flowing eastward, represents divine life-giving grace that purifies and revitalizes those who follow God's path.
