Exposition of Ezekiel 30-48

Verse 8. These waters issue out towards the East-Country, and go down into the Desert.

These are the places into which the waters of the Sanctuary did run. Some render the Hebrew words Haggelilah hakadmonah, into Galilee of the East; Montanus Arith ad revolutionem orientalem, or terminum orientalem, to the Eastern border. Galilee was Eastward from Jerulem, and in it was Lacus Asphaltites, the Lake of Sodom, or Mare mortuum, so called, because no fish could live in it, nor birds fly over it, but died, so deadly were the waters and vapors thereof. Hither the Sanctuary waters came, and they went down also into the Desert, that is, say some Expositors, into the Mediterranean Sea, which was in the West, suitable to which interpretation seems that in Zach. 14.8. where living waters are said to go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the former sea, that is, the Salt or dead sea; and half of them towards the hinder sea, that is, the Mediterranean sea. Others conceive these waters of Ezekiel did run only East-ward, first into the dead sea, and then out of that into the Desarts or Plains of Moab; for here is not mention of several seas, but there is of rivers, ver. 9. Nachalaim, duo torrentes.

The effects of these waters are,

1. Healing: When they came into the dead sea, they healed the waters thereof; the Sanctuary waters made those deadly waters salubres & utiles, wholesome and profitable, as the bitter waters of Marah were healed by a tree thrown in, Exod. 15.25. and the waters of Jericho by a cruse of salt, 2 Kings 2.20, 21.

2. Production of Fishes, and them in abundance: These waters were fruitful waters, ver. 9. they begat life in dead creatures, and caused Fish to abound as the Fish of the Sea, exceeding many, as it is in the end of ver. 10. By Fish understand, those that are wrought upon, and brought in by the Gospel: And they are so called,

1. Because as Fish are generated of Spawn, or Seed and Water; so Believers are born of Water and the Spirit, John 3.5.

2. Fish its conceived were not under the curse that fell upon the earth, and things upon it, not on the waters and fish therein; so Believers are not under the curse of the Law: Unbelievers are under condemnation and wrath, John 3.18, 36. but Believers are free from both.

3. They keep fresh in salt and brackish waters; and true Converts do so: When there are brackish, corrupt doctrines abroad, hot and fierce persecutions, by reason of them, the sound Believer is not tainted with them; Arianism, Pelagianism, Familism, Rantism and Quakerism do not corrupt them; and the greater troubles they meet with, the more lively they are.

4. Some Fish swim constantly against the stream: Such are true Christians, they swim against the stream, they are not led by the multitude: There be several streams, one of Profaneness, another of Flattery, a third of Superstition, a fourth of Lukewarmness and Formality, a fifth of Carnal policy, a sixth of Self-seeking: Against all these, and many others, doth the sincere Christian swim and row daily.

5. Fish live in and by the waters, they cannot live in arido, they presently die without water: And true Christians they live in and by the waters of the Sanctuary, they live in and by the Spirit, they drink in the waters of the Gospel: These spritual Fish cannot live without them, Rev. 22.1. there is a pure River of water of life, wherein these live and swim.

6. Fish of the same kind do sort together: It is so with true Converts, they leave their old company, and sort with those that are regenerate and godly. David saith, Psal. 119.63. I am a companion of all them that fear thee. Christ's Disciples gate together, Acts 1.15. Peter and John went to their own company, Acts 4.23.

Verse 10. The fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi, even unto Eneglaim.

Engedi was a Town near unto the Dead Sea, upon the coast of it, having strong-holds, 1 Sam. 23.29. called Hazazon-Tamar in Jehoshaphat’s days, 2 Chron. 20.2. which A lapide interprets urbs Palmarum, a City of Palm-trees, because they flourished there: • t had several Vineyards belonging to it, Cant. 1.14. From this place to Eneglaim, should the Fishers spread their nets.

Eneglaim was seated at the mouth of the Dead Sea, where Jordan emptied itself into it, as Junius and Piscator observe; and it was in the Eastern part, as Engedi was in the Western.

Before we proceed further, take some Observations from Verse 7, 8, 9, 10.

Observ. 1. The waters of the Sanctuary, the Doctrine of the Gospel, doth powerfully and speedily beget and bring men to God.

Such was the virtue of the waters Ezekiel saw, that presently they brought forth trees on each side their banks: There were trees of Righteousness presently, viz. true Christians. When Christ preached and the Apostle • , their Doctrine was received, and divers believed, John 4.41. & 7.31. & 8.30. & 12.42. Acts 17.11, 12 & 18.8. The waters of the Gospel turn Thorns and Thistles into Vines and Fig-trees, and make an Orchard for God, where none was. This was foretold by Isaiah, Isa. 41.18, 19. I will open rivers in high-places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water: I will plant in the wilderness the Cedar, the Shittah-tree, and the Myrtle, and the Oil-tree: I will set in the Desert the Fir-tree, and the Pine, and the Box-tree together. The meaning is, God would cause the Gospel to be preached in dry and barren places, and there should some of all sorts come in, believe and grow up like trees of God: Isa 44, 3, 4. I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring; and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water-courses. This water brings forth trees, and makes them good being brought forth.

Observ. 2. The waters of the Gospel have, and will have their course; they issue out; who can keep them in? and being out, they go toward the East Country, and go down into the Desert, and so into the Sea; who can stop them?

When the Gospel began first to be preached, it spread, Mark 1.27, 28. What new Doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him: And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the Region round about Galilee: The Gospel did run like water, from Country to Country, and from Sea to Sea, 2▪ Thess. 9.1.

Observ. 3. That people without the Gospel, are like unto the Dead Sea, that lake of Sodom, into which by our Apostasy from God, we have cast ourselves.

The Dead Sea in a spiritual sense is the lake of our sins, where all things are loathsome, dead and deadly; whence nothing but corrupt and pestilent vapors do flow. Men are children of wrath by nature, dead in sins and trespasses, Ephes. 2.1, 3, 5. All men are gone astray, and altogether become filthy: Psal. 14.3. Their throat is an open Sepulcher, &c. See Rom. 3.10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. they send forth mire and dirt as the Sea doth, Isa. 57.20. and nothing that is good lives in them; they stifle all good motions, being dead in sin, abominable and reprobate to every good work.

Observ. 4. The waters of the Sanctuary have curing and quickening virtue in them.

Where they came, the waters were healed, and everything lived: When they flowed into the Dead Sea, that was healed by them, ver. 8. and everything lived whither the River came, ver. 9. People in Scripture are compared to waters, Rev. 17.1, 15. but they are unsavory, corrupt waters, like the Dead Sea, sending out noisome vapors; but when the Doctrine of the Gospel comes in power, with the merits of Christ, and graces of the Spirit, it purges the head from infectious errors, the conscience from dead works, the heart from vile lusts, and the life from base practices, and begets life in the dead soul. The Corinthians were a Sodomitical people, given to uncleanness, and all manner of wickedness: 1 Cor. 6. having reckoned up a catalogue of sinners in ver. 9, 10. he saith in ver. 11. Such were some of you, but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and hy the Spirit of our God. How came they to be so? it was by Paul's Preaching the Gospel, Acts 18.1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. he brought Sanctuary waters unto them, which cured and quickened these Corinthians. In the Pool of Bethesda God put forth his power, and healed by those waters all manner of bodily diseases, John 5. and in these Sanctuary or Gospel waters, he puts forth his power, and heals all spiritual diseases, and quickens those that are spiritually dead, ver. • 5. These waters are living waters, Zach. 14.8. and they beget life, and increase life, John •• 14. and 10.10.

Observ. 5. The waters of the Sanctuary are fruitful waters, they breed trees on each side, and abundance of fish.

The Doctrine of the Gospel breeds Christians and Believers in abundance, Acts 1.15. the number of Disciples was about a hundred and twenty; Acts 2.41. Three thousand souls were added unto them; Acts 4.4. the number of believers were about five thousand; Acts 5.14. multitudes both of men and women were added to the Lord; Acts 21.20. Thou seest how many thousand Jews there are which believe, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , how many ten thousands; and Rev. 7.9. I beheld, and lo a great multitude, which no man could number. The trees and fishes multiplied so much in a little time, that they exceeded man's Arithmetic.

Observ. 6. The Preachers of the Gospel are fishers.

Verse 10. The fishers shall stand upon it, that is, the river and fish there. Ye know Christ chose Fishmen to be his Apostles, and told them, That he would make them fishers of men, Mark 1.17. Men are the fish, and the Gospel is the net; the Promises are the bait, and Preachers a • e the Fishers. Peter threw the net on the right side, when he caught three thousand fishes at once, Acts 2.41. which was prefigured in the great draught of fishes he took, Luke 5.56. The preaching of the Gospel is compared to a net, Mat. 13.47. its good casting this net into the waters where there be store of fish, and wise is that man who can catch them, Prov. 11.30. he that winneth souls, is wise: Some Fishers toil all night and catch nothing; but where there is wisdom to handle the net, and bait the hooks well, some fish will be caught.

Observ. 7. These spiritual fishers have large waters to fish in, and are to be frequent in fishing from Engedi even to Eneglaim.

They shall be a place to spread forth nets from East to West: They are to fish the whole Sea; Go and teach all Nations. The whole world is a Sea of fish, and the nets must be spread, not lie still: The Fishers may dry and mend their nets, but then they must throw them into the deep, and be fishing for their Lord and Master. Paul charges Timothy, to preach the Word, to be instant in season, and out of season, to take all opportunities to catch fish with the net of the Gospel, 2 Tim. 4.2.

Observ. 8. These Gospel Fishers do catch some fish of all sorts, some great, some small; some old, some young.

When they spread forth their nets, their fish shall be according to their kind; some of every kind shall be caught in their nets: Mat. 13.47. saith Christ, The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a net cast into the Sea, and gathereth of every kind. The Gospel preached gains upon all sorts of people; the Priests, Acts 6.7. and Sergius Paulus, Acts 13.12. were great fishes caught in this net; but Lydia and the Damsel, Acts 1.6. with Onesimus and many others, were little fishes: Nicodemus, John 3. the Eunuch, Acts 8. and the Elect Lady, 2 John. were great fishes; and though not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called, and caught with this net, yet some are: Some Jews, some Gentiles, some Bond-men, &c.

Verse 11. But the miry places thereof, and the marishes thereof, &c.

Near unto Rivers and Seas are miry places, and marishes, and they being at a distance from the channel where in these waters of the Sanctuary run, were not healed, made wholesome and useful for fish, but they are left to barrenness; which is the sense of these words, They shall be given to salt; for salt causeth barrenness, and is a sign thereof, Deut. 29.23. Judge. 9.45. Psal. 107.34. He turns a fruitful land into barrenness; the Hebrew is, saltness. Those that are slothful, impenitent, that go on in filthy practices, trust to their own righteousness, refusing and neglecting these waters, shall never be healed, but be barren, fruitl • ss, and accursed.

Verse 12. Upon the bank shall grow all trees for meat.

It is a known thing to Historians and Travelers, that on the banks of the Dead Sea, or Lacus Asphaltites, the place where Sodom and the other Cities were destroyed, do grow trees which in show yield goodly fruit, yet not edible; for being touched, it proves ashes and smoke, deceiving the expectation of him that gathers the same; but these waters coming hither, beget better trees, and better fruit, even trees for meat: Neither tree nor fruit should disappoint them, for the leaves of these trees should not fade; they should always be green and flourishing, neitheir should the fruit be consumed; they should always have fruit upon them: For as the sap and greeness of those trees continued, so the fruit would continue, no rottenness would cause it to fall, no winds or storms should blow it down.

It shall bring forth new fruit according to its months.

Every month should these trees bring forth new fruit: The word jebaccer is rendered by some primo genita edeut aut primo genitabunt, they shall yield their first-begotten; not only shall they yield fruit monthly, but excellent and choice fruit, ripe fruit, fit for meat: And because this seems strange and impossible, that trees every month should have ripe fruit, he shows in the next words whence it is.

Because their waters, they issued out of the Sanctuary.

These waters were no ordinary waters, but such as had a fructifying virtue in them, beyond all other waters, and made the trees about it to bear twelve times a year; representing that crystal River that proceeded out of the Throne of God and of the Lambs, on either side of which grew the tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and yielded fruit every month, Rev. 22.12.

And the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaves thereof for medicine.

He shows the excellency of these trees: They shall have nothing useless, Their fruit is for meat, and their leaves for medicine. The good works and holy lives of Believers are for meat and medicine unto others.

Observ. 1. Wicked men are miry and muddy Creatures.

Those that are ungodly, are no better then miry places, and marishes, which are unsavory, loathsome, and dangerous, breeding Frogs, Toads, and other Vermin. Such are all wicked men; their throat is an open Sepulcher, Rom. 3.13. their words are corrupt, deceitful, and poisonous, themselves are loathsome, Prov. 13.5. they trust in their own righteousness, which is as filthy rags, Isa. 64.6. they have corrupt minds, as Jannes and Jambres had, 2 Tim. 3.8. they are full of noisesome lusts, subtlety and all malice, as Elymas was, Act. 13.10. they have eyes full of adultery, 2 Pet. 2.14. they are swine, and love to wallow in the mire, ver. 22. they breed nothing but vermin, base thoughts, vile affections, and produce only what is evil. Paul describes them fully unto us, Rom. 1.29, 30, 31. and in 2 Tim. 3.2, 3, 4, 5.

Observ. 2. Those places and persons to which the waters of the Sanctuary do not come; or coming, do not heal, are designed to barrenness, and so to destruction.

Verse 11. But the miry places thereof, and the marishes thereof shall not be healed: Either the waters came not to them; or if they did, they refused, they neglected them, and so were given to salt, made like Sodom, barren and accursed. Some places have not the waters of the Sanctuary, the Doctrine of the Gospel, and they are barren, and perish for want of the same, as Tyre and Sidon: Some places have them, and because they are impenitent, unbelieving, and will not receive the truth with the love of it; because they will not drink these waters, therefore they are given to salt, they are barren, and must perish. So it was with Capernaum and Jerusalem, Mat. 11.23. and 23.37, 38. and so is it with many places in this Nation, I fear: John 3.19. This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather then light, because their deeds are evil: They stick in the mud and filth of their own sins, and will not receive the soul-saving truths of the Gospel.

Observ. 3. That the Saints, true Christian Believers, are not barren, but fruitful trees.

Everyone of them is a fruitful tree, and yields good fruit: All the trees are for meat, their fruit is for meat; For whom? for Christ, Cant. 4.16. Let my Beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits: Cant. 6.2. He is gone to feed in the gardens; that is, to feed upon the fruit of his Churches: And for others, even all men, Gal. 6.10. their fruit is good, Mat. 5.16. and 7.17. they are acceptable to God and man, through their fruitfulness, Phil. 4.18. and an honor to the place where they grow.

Observ. 4. True Christians are always fruitful, and nothing can hinder their fruitfulness.

They are trees that bring forth fruit according to their months and seasons; neither heat nor cold doth blast their leaves; no wind or weather doth consume their fruit, but they go on, and are fat and flourishing, and still bring forth fruit in old age, Psal. 92.14. they are daily adding to their faith, virtue; to their virtue knowledge; to their knowledge temperance; to their temperance patience; to their patience godliness; to their godliness, brotherly kindness, and to that charity: These things are in true Saints, and abound in them, 2 Pet. 1.5, 6, 7, 8. The Corinthians abounded in the work of the Lord, 1 Cor. 15.58. Christians must always profess godliness, and always practice it; their leaf must always be green, and their fruit always ripe; there should not be a day, or an hour, wherein they should not be doing good, or ready to do good, and bear new fruit, Jer. 17.8.

Observ. 5. The true cause of fruitfulness, and such fruitfulness in Christians, is the Doctrine and Grace of the Gospel.

Every tree brought forth fruit according to his month, because the waters issued out of the Sanctuary: Other waters had not such virtue, such efficacy in them; those sit under the heavenly dews and droppings of the Gospel, they feel the influences of the Spirit, they are most fruitful.

Observ. 6. The holy profession, and gracious language of true Saints are medicinal, they heal the sores and bruises of sinners.

Their examples, their savoury speeches, do good like a medicine: Prov. 12.18. The tongue of the wise is health; and Prov. 15.4. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, it yields good fruit: And Women who are gracious, win their husbands to the faith, 1 Pet. 3.1, 2. by their examples and good conversations, and so they are healed, and brought to Christ; their leaves are for medicine.

Verse 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

THese Verses are the second part of the Chapter, and contain,

• 1. The bordering of the Land, from ver. 13. to ver. 21.
• 2. The dividing of it, from verse 21. to the end.

Something was said of the Land, Chap. 45. and here that subject is proceeded in. Verse 13. speaks in the general, and saith, the order whereby they were to inherit the Land, must be according to the twelve Tribes of Israel, East, West, North and South. It is true, that Levi had no border, no possession, Ezek. 44.28. yet twelve lots are spoken of, because the Sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, come in for portions, Josh. 14.4. The children of Joseph were two Tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the Land: See Josh. 17.17, 18. 1 Chron. 5.12. They had two portions, the Hebrew is, Lines, because the portions were measured out by lines.
