How preachers through history handled this text
4 public-domain excerpts on Ezekiel 47, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“THE RIVER OF LIFE Waters issued out from under the threshold of the house . . .'--EZEKIEL xlvii. 1. Unlike most great cities, Jerusalem was not situated on a great river. True, the inconsiderable waters of Siloam--which flow softly' because they were so inconsiderable--rose from a crevice in the Temple rock, and beneath that rock stretched the valley of the Kedron, dry and bleached in the summer, and a rainy torrent during the rainy seasons; but that was all. …”
— Alexander MacLaren, Expositions of Holy Scripture: Ezekiel, Daniel and the Minor, on Ezekiel 47:1–30 (Public Domain)
