Ezekiel's tour ends today at a trickle of water seeping from under the temple's threshold, ankle-deep a thousand cubits out, then knee-deep, then waist-deep, then a river no one could cross, and where the river flows, everything lives.
The book that watched glory leave closes with a city renamed: THE LORD IS THERE. Dry places, take note. The water is already under the door.
The river grows without tributaries. No streams feed it; it deepens by flowing, ankle to knee to waist to swimming, because its source is the presence of God and presence does not dilute. Even the Dead Sea, the Bible's byword for lifelessness, turns fresh where it arrives. Nothing in your geography is beyond that reach.
Ezekiel's last word is an address: THE LORD IS THERE. Peter shows what residents of that city look like in hostile territory, insults absorbed, retaliation retired, everything entrusted to the Judge who judges justly. Wade deeper this week. The water under the threshold is moving toward your driest place.
