Water as a Biblical Symbol

By Editor

3050.— Eze. 47:17.— Mrs. J. R. J.— The last chapters of Ezekiel, 40 to 48, describe in a good deal of detail the sanctuary, the city, and the land which would have been given to Israel in Ezekiel's day if Israel had only yielded to God's conditions. The Lord would have given them all that is promised in those chapters. All the various figures and promises there, would have been literally fulfilled. But water used as a symbol represents sometimes the Word of God, "the washing of water by the Word." Eph. 5:26. Sometimes it is symbolical of the Spirit and life of God, as in Isa. 44:3.
