Ezekiel 47:1

Ezekiel 47:1 says, Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.  When Ezekiel was brought out again, he began to see water flowing from the threshold of the house toward the east.  The Living Water first flowed from the temple as God sent it to His chosen people first, just as the disciples of Jesus reached out to the Jewish people with the gospel message first. Matthew Henry says these verses referencing the water were likely mystical, or spiritual, since there has never been a time when this happened in Israel, so all he had seen was likely mystical.  I know that we as followers of Christ are called to spiritually drink of the Living Water.  

Verse two adds, Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.  Ezekiel was then brought to the gate of the north side, and water was flowing from there as well.  Living Water was plentiful for the people then and the Living Water is plentiful for Christians today.  It will be available wherever we are.  

Verse three continues, And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. Ezekiel said as the man with the line in his hand went forth eastward that he measured a thousand cubits and then when Ezekiel was led through water was up to his ankles.  Though we are never limited to how deep we can get into the Living Water, when we first accept Jesus Christ, we may not immediately submerge ourselves in it. 

Verse four states, Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.  The man measured another thousand cubits, and the water was up to his knees, and then he measured another thousand and it was up to his loins.  Though the Living Water has but one source, it is more than ample for all who would accept it.  

Verse five adds, Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.  Ezekiel said the man then measured another thousand cubits, and the water was like a river that a person could not walk through but would have to swim through.  Once more, applying this to the Living Water, there will always be enough for us to submerge ourselves in, if we only will.  

Verse six continues, And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.   The man then asked Ezekiel if he had seen this and then brought him back to the brink of the river after he asked him if he had seen it.  We can be on the brink of salvation, but until we see the reality of it, it will do us no good.
