From this fountain flows the mighty river seen in Ezekiel’s vision. “These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that everything that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live.... And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.” Ezekiel 47:8-12. {6T 227.3}

Fra denne kilde udgår den mægtige flod, som viste sig i Ezekiels syn. »Dette vand løber ud i Østerkredsen og ned i Araba og når det falder ud i havet, Salthavet, bliver vandet (228) der sundt; alle de levende væsener, hvoraf det vrimler, skal leve, overalt hvor strømmen kommer hen. ..... På begge flodens bredder skal der vokse alle hånde frugttræer, hvis blade ikke falder af og hvis frugter aldrig får ende; hver måned bærer de nye frugter; thi dets vand udspringer i helligdomme. Frugterne skal tjene til føde og bladene til lægedom.« Ez. 47,8-12.
