Afterward 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. (The first twelve Verses portray the River of the Sanctuary, with the remainder portraying the Borders of the Land. "The Door of the House" speaks of the Sanctuary from which the waters will flow. As well, the "Door" is Christ [Jn.14:6]. "And, behold, waters issued out," signifies the Holy Spirit, Who issues forth from Christ. It is not "water" but "waters." It literally issues from the "House," with its Source being the Throne of Jehovah [Jn.7:37-39]. "From under the threshold of the House east-ward," shows that the waters shall grow of themselves, and not, as in nature, by accession from side streams. The "threshold" speaks of the floor, and, in the spiritual sense, denotes humility. "At the south side of the Altar," denotes the channel, or course, of the River. It is the Altar of Jehovah, i.e., Calvary.) Then brought He me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. ("Then brought He me out of the way of the gate northward," simply means that the East Inner Gate was shut, and the East Outer Gate was shut as well; therefore, The Lord led him outside of the Inner and the Outer Courts by the North Gate. There is a spiritual meaning in this seemingly obscure Passage. Many hunger for The Lord, but do not know exactly how to receive Him. Admittedly, the course, although direct, is not reached in a direct way. However, all will receive who persist, because all are invited to come [Rev.22:17].) (Ezekiel 47:1, 2)
