1Then he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. 2He brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by way of the gate that faces east. And behold, water was trickling from the south side. 3When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. 4Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the loins. 5Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not ford, for the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river that could not be forded. 6He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me back to the bank of the river. 7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh. 9“It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10“And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many. 11“But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. 12“By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:1-12 NASB
You do understand this is a specific prophecy for Ezekiel for a specific time.....right??
Now, if you want to say this is applicable for today, then you will have to go back to Ezekiel 46:19-20 and reinstate the guilt offering and sin offering and grain offering.
Mrs D.....we're in the New Testament!
Christians, but I'm not sure about Roman Catholics, are NOT UNDER THE LAW.
God tells us to come to Him in faith.
You may want to read Romans 5 on this. It's good stuff.
Recall when Paul cast out the demon in the girl in Acts he didn't mix up a batch of "holy water".....he called the demon out in the name of Christ.
See, you've moved the argument again when the facts go against you.
John 9:6-8
He [Jesus] spat on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes. Then He told him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing. At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
Well, what I see in Scripture is water, water everywhere. I love how God consistently uses water to manifest His will and His power to cleans, to heal, to purify from sin.
To summarize one of our themes, class:
There are none so blind, as those who will not see.
