Living water comes out from Temple

Ezekiel 47:1-12
The Temple faced east.
Water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east. The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.
As the man measured off a thousand cubits and then let me through water that was ankle-deep... knee-deep... to the waist... it was a river that i could not cross.
This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the sea. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows.
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.
In chapter 47, we are given something gloriously new. Out of God's Temple flows a great life-giving river bordered by trees whose fruit is for food and whose leaves are for healing,
Why?
From God's Temple there is a life giving river, which both side has trees and fruit is good for good and leaves for healing. It is the river of heaven.
Temple faced east only prince may enter from east gate, other people come and go out from south and north gate. west is back of Temple.
This is a living water may give us life and fresh life. Through Jesus we may have living water in our heart.
How?
Let the water of life flow into my heart and flow out to other people around me.
