Ezekiel 47:7

Much of the country called *Israel is dry. Many areas are too dry for agriculture. Only a few wild bushes grow there. Even Jerusalem city does not have many good natural supplies of water. King Hezekiah was very aware of this problem. He built an extraordinary underground system to supply water to Jerusalem (2 Kings 20:20). In recent years, people have rediscovered this system.

So it astonished Ezekiel to see all these large trees. They proved that God was bringing life to the country called *Israel. These trees were growing well because of the supply of water. Ezekiel had already felt the force of the water. But now he could see its power to give life.
