1 | what does the verse mean? | Ezek 47:5 | mark d seyler | 186178 | ||
Hi Searcher, Perhaps if you re-read what I wrote: "I would have no difficulty using this description as a picture of the outpouring of God's Spirit." If I were to describe to someone the outpouring of God's Spirit, there might be a number of ways I might do that. One way could be to use imagery familiar to my listeners. Jesus did this in His teaching. "Learn the parable from the fig tree. . ." He said. He may have pointed to one. He would have been surrounded by them when He said this. Now, did God cause those fig trees to grow there in order to teach the signs of the coming of Jesus? I'd say probibly not. But they sure are useful as a picture of what Jesus is saying. In the same manner, I might use this picture of a river that flows out from the temple of God, growing wider and deeper, bringing healing to the land, as the outpouring of God's Spirit, and His work in our lives. Does this help clarify what I am saying? Love in Christ, Mark |
