Subject: what does the verse mean? |
Bible Note: For myself, I take a literal view of this passage, and that the Jews will build this temple with all the rooms and patios and doorways, and everything described, and that from it will flow a river, that gets deeper and wider as it goes, becoming enough to purify all the land and sea. I always look at prophetic passages in the same way as other passages, as describing real events and such, unless there are specific instructions to take it symbolically, and the symbols are defined.
