1st Eden
(Ezekiel 47:1-12 KJV)
he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters;
the waters were to the ankles. 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. 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.
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. Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank
of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Then said he
unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country,
and go down into the desert, and go into the sea:
which being brought
forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that
every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come,
shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these
waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live
whither the river cometh. And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall
stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim;
(Persian Gulf)
they shall be a place to spread
forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the
great sea, exceeding many. But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof
shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. And by the river upon
the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat,
whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit
(tree of life the ub) thereof be consumed: it shall bring
forth new fruit according to his months,
because their waters they issued out of
the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for
medicine. |
