Seas

 
Water is essential for both physical and spiritual life. Over 50% of our body is water. It is a figure to us of spiritual life as well. To the thirsty woman at the well the Lord said, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” She responded, “Sir, give me this water.” And she got it. I look forward to seeing her in glory. In the end of God’s Word, the Spirit and we repeat His appeal, “Let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” The one and only source of this water of eternal life is God Himself. “He showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” From its source, it flows out to others as a river and then the rivers flow into the seas. Now the Jordan River flows into the Salt Sea; now called the Dead Sea, for today it cannot sustain life. But when God sets things right it will. “Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house [millennial temple in Jerusalem]; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward.  ... Then said he unto me, These waters issue out  ... which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live” (Ezek. 47:1,8-91Afterward 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. (Ezekiel 47:1)
8Then 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. 9And 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. (Ezekiel 47:8‑9)).
