Ezekiel 47-48: The Lord is There

As in the previous chapters, this prophecy of Ezekiel is difficult to understand.  It paints a picture we can't comprehend with our limited knowledge.  But this much is known.  Aliens, foreigners, those who were not born into the tribe of Israel will be part of this city.  "You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.  In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance," declares the Sovereign LORD. - Eze. 47:21-23 NIV

Flowing out of the temple will be a river that flows to the sea.  This river is a river of life.  It will provide both sustenance and healing. "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Sea. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Great Sea. But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing." - Eze. 47:8-12 NIV

And in the heart of this new land, there will be a new city where the temple and the prince resides.

"And the name of the city from that time on will be:
The LORD is There ." - Eze. 48:35 NIV

From that time on.  World without end.  The Lord is there.
