Bible Comments

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

Living waters shall go out from Jerusalem - (Ezekiel 47:1; Joel 3:18).

Half of them toward the former sea - i:e., the front or east, which Orientalists face in taking points of the compass: the Dead Sea.

And half of them toward the hinder sea - the west, or Mediterranean. In summer and in winter shall it be - neither dried up by heat, nor frozen by cold; ever flowing.
