The life giving element and the force of this flowing river of the water of life flow into the areas where there is no life. They go into the desert, a place of dryness and sand. Also, they flow into the sea, the eastern sea which would be the dead sea. The power of these waters immediately effect a great change wherever they go, the desert will come to life. Dare we liken it to a dead, formal church world which exercises all the motions and manifestations of life but without the true anointing of the Lord. The eastern sea would be the dead sea, lifeless and dormant, could well be the Jew of today who knows about Christ but in total blindness will not accept Him as their Messiah. Eze. 47:8 Both groups are destined to a glorious awakening in these last days which will usher in the Millennial reign of Christ, as well as the completion of the prophecies of the book of Revelation.
These waters are noted for their life giving powers. Everything, everywhere, which receives a touch of the waters spring up into life. Miracle working powers indeed. Another amazing thing about the waters is that they are filled with an exceeding abundance of fish. Eze. 47:9 The analogy is immediately evident, Jesus on watching Peter and his brother Andrew while they were fishing, called them to be fisher of men. Mt. 4:18-19 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a fishing net which when cast into the waters catches all kinds of fish. The fisherman on inspecting his catch will separate the marketable from the unmarketable, which are then cast away. So in the end of the age, there will be a separation of fish or people, conducted by His angels. The wicked will then be cast into the great tribulation where there is nothing but sorrow and anguish. Mt. 13:47-50
The news is out, the schools of fish are running. The banks of the river are crowded with fishermen reaping the harvest of fish. A grand climax, a great escalation of salvation and the full manifestation of the power of the Spirit of the Lord resulting in the final harvest. The reaping of the first harvest resulting in life eternal to those who are gathered in this harvest. Rev. 14:15-16 From Engedi, (meaning, the fountain of kid). Which represents the opening of the fountain or waters of life, or the ministry of the Lord Jesus. They were to fish even unto Eneglaim, (meaning, twin springs), or the time of the double (full and complete) portion. Another of those hidden, yet extremely visible promises, a confirmation of the work that the Lord will consummate in the end of the age with a mighty manifestation of the fullness of His Spirit resting upon His church. A true full portion.
