Let The Living Water Flow!

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar.  Ezekiel 47:1

Front door, water flowing from under the threshold, cause for some alarm in most cases. Indoor plumbing was not a thing back in Ezekiel's day, but it certainly is in our time. If someone brought one of us to the front door of a place and water was flowing out from under the threshold, we would be for calling a plumber right quick. If you have lived in a house or apartment, you probably know the slightly ill feeling of a major leak or breakage in your plumbing system. You know the expense of a specialized technician, such as a plumber, and you know the labor and expense of the cleanup after the repair is made. None of that is even an issue with Ezekiel. He is taken out to measure the river formed by this flow of water until in a short distance he cannot cross the river it has grown so deep. And the waters are healing waters returning life to the sea! It is an altogether different experience from what we know. 

And this is but one of the new experiences God has in store for us in the time to come!
