THE PLANTED TREE. The man of righteousness. His walk before the
Lord is fitting and proper. His instructions do not come from the godless
man. His life style is not patterned after that of the sinner. His conversation
is not that of mockery or derision. His joy and pleasure are found in the
living Word of the Lord. His thoughts are centered on the Word both day
and night. He is the planted tree. A tree growing by the waters of life. His
thirst is quenched by that stream which flows from the throne of God. He is
fruitful and prosperous. This is a Godly standard that has been established
for those who participate in the TREE OF LIFE. Ps. 1:1-3 This man places
complete trust and confidence in the Lord. Drought has no effect on him.
He is stable and consistent before the Lord. Always bearing fruit. Never
failing to be fruitful. Jer. 17:7-8
TREES GROWING BY THE STREAM OF THE LORD. The vision of
Ezekiel related more to the river than to the trees. His revelation
covers the span of the ages presenting the advancement of the kingdom of God. He stood at the door of the house. Jesus is the door. The flow of the
water and the situation of the house is toward the East or the sunrising.
Jesus will come from the East. This great river flowed from the right side of
the temple which would be the South side. Eze. 47:1 Jesus has been elevated
to the right hand of His Father. Jesus stood on the last day of the feast of
Tabernacles and issued an invitation for the whosoever will to come to Him
and drink. That privilege has never been withdrawn, it is still in effect
today. John 7:37-39 The Living Waters of the Spirit of God would then flow
from within that person who drank from that Spiritual Rock, which is Christ.
Where ever and whenever that water of the river of heaven is available.
It quenches the thirst, filling and satisfying the longing of that one who has
been born of the Spirit. 1 Cor. 10:4
EZEKIEL EXITED BY THE NORTH GATE. He was then taken around
to view the East gate once again, where he saw the waters flooding out
from within. Eze.47:2 God is meticulous, all things are measured according to His measurement. Four (the number of the earth) measurements were made. With each measurement the volume and the height of the waters increased. Prophetically these waters would stretch roughly from Abraham to the end of the age. Abraham the Father of ALL who believe to the climax of the ages. A man is used as the measurement, ankles, knees, loins and then waters of swimming. Eze. 47:3-5
WE ARE LIVING in the days of the waters of swimming, that broad
river that cannot be passed over. It cannot be stopped. The power of
the flow of these waters will prevail in the end of the age. This is
revival, the greatest ever which will climax in the marriage of the Lamb. The other day a preacher was waxing eloquently and with great zeal concerning a last day revival that is about to take place. It was exciting. Suddenly, he
paused and said Jesus could come at any minute. What did he mean? Will there be a revival or will Jesus come first. Such confusion. Most certainly there will be an outpouring of the Spirit that is comparable to the vast waters of swimming. The Lord always visits in mercy before wrath. The Lord has
promised a great visitation of His Spirit for this final generation of Christians. Literally He owes those who have not experienced the depths of His love and the mighty moving of His Spirit a time of deep involvement in the Spirit. HALLELUJAH! It will happen.
