Key Reflection
Ezekiel 47:7 continues a prophetic vision where Ezekiel is shown a restored and revitalized Jerusalem, now flowing with healing water from the Temple. The sudden question and the return to the riverbank underscore the shift in perspective and invite Ezekiel to observe the miraculous restoration of the city's waterways, symbolizing God’s restorative power over Israel. This scene would have struck the original audience as a powerful reassurance that despite their current exile and desolation, God had plans for their future redemption and renewal.
