Back when I covered Ezekiel 37, I told you that this was one of the two most misunderstood passages in study of the entire Bible. What is the other?
Ezekiel 47, commonly known as the passage about The River. And this chapter is part of a section of Ezekiel that concerns the Millennial Reign of Christ- the thousand-year Kingdom of Jesus that’s someday coming to this earth.
And there are some translational or interpretational difficulties that pop up in all these chapters, but what is it particularly about this chapter that causes it to be so misunderstood? Well, it seems that specifically, verses 1 through 12 of Ezekiel 47 sound so mystical and mysterious that a lot of people kind of run wild with it. Personally, I’m not so sure it’s symbolic as a lot of people make it out to be.
So I’ll tell you what I think Ezekiel 47 means today, and it’s honestly not that dramatic.
And then we’ll kind of step back from this passage and just kind of talk about some general good form guidelines for Bible interpretation in general.
So what is Ezekiel’s river really all about? That’s what you’ll find out today on the Cross References podcast.
