Chapter 47 offers a surprising turning-point in the vision of the future Temple. The prophet speaks here neither of the structure nor of the order of service, but rather describes a wondrous stream that emerges from the entrance to God\u2019s House and flows all the way to the Arava. Although Ezekiel has distanced the people from anything connected to the Temple, now he is also creating a Divine connection with the people that has never existed before.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wondrous river that appears here seems to be a way of bringing the Sanctuary into the very midst of the people more than ever before: through connecting with the miraculous abundance and healing forces of the river, powers not found in the usual course of nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

It turns out that in order to heal the people, the prophet foresees a fissure in the regular order of nature. Beyond purification – a\u00a0 necessary condition for the revival of the people in the future – there will also be possible forms of healing that pass through the Sanctuary, but that do not require the people to approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we see that the healing properties of the river in fact have the wondrous ability to repair the flaws that caused the Destruction. The distancing of the people from the Temple turns out to be a physical measure that does not reflect any spiritual distancing: God connects the people to the Temple by means of the river that flows from the very midst of the House, notwithstanding the geographical distance.<\/span><\/p>\n

So it turns out that ultimately the bond between God and His people is not only renewed unilaterally by God; but the entire nation is part of the process as they are nourished, by the river from the Temple, more directly than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n
