Today in SS we looked at Ezekiel 47:1-12 which I was always taught was about the literal healing of the dead sea. Today it was taught as a parable as how going to the temple increases our understanding and spiritual strength each time we go. Lee thinks both interpretations are good. It was cross referenced to Revelations 22:2 which talked about a river of pure living water flowing through a river lined with 12 trees whose leaves would heal the nations. The symbolism there is pretty obvious. Twelve being the twelve tribes of Israel taking the gospel to the world the thousand years when Christ will reign here upon the earth. I'm sure it's deeper and richer than I am explaining it but I found it very exciting seeing something new in these verses.

What struck me was just how important it is to go as often as possible. There is real strength there and we are made stronger for going. It helps bring peace to our hearts in these times we are living through.
