Zechariah: Living Waters

“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 the summer and
in winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all
the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name
one” (Zechariah 14:8-9 KJV).

This is an exciting time “in that day” means the future is
coming. What are they? Living waters will flow out of Jerusalem.
To understand this nature of Scripture, most Palestinian streams
usually dry up in the summer and it prophecy that there will be
living waters going through in the summer time. And its flow will
be constant to the Mediterranean Sea. Also the living waters will
flow out of Jerusalem into the Dead Sea. When will that happen?
When Christ’s feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
which is before Jerusalem on the east (Zechariah 14:4a KJV).

Why does this scripture had a meaning for me? I had a question
about the Dead Sea because someone said ‘Some day the Dead Sea
will be filled with waters’. So where does the water come from?
The Scripture said, ‘the living waters from the Jerusalem.’ The
purpose of the living waters was to bring God’s blessings flowing
from the millennial (1,000 years of Christ’s reign) in Jerusalem.
It will be a healing for the nations to see the fruitful trees
with rivers flowing in between the lands. People from everywhere
will see God’s miracle. I really look forward for Christ to come.
Do you?
