This also is that which the Prophet Zechariah means, when he says, Living Waters shall go forth from Jerusalem, half of them toward the former Sea, and half of them toward the hinder Sea, &c. Zech. 14.8. They are said to go forth from Jerusalem, because they came down to the City from out of the Sanctuary which stood in Jerusalem.
This is that which in another place is called a River of Water of Life, because it ⟨p. 194⟩comes forth from the Throne, and because it was at the head of it, as I suppose, used in and about Temple Worship. 'Twas with this, I think, that the Molten Sea and the Ten Lavers were filled, and in which the Priests washed their Hands and Feet when they went into the Temple to do service; and that also in which they washed the Sacrifices before they offered them to God: Yea, I presume, all the washings and rinsings about their Worship, was with this Water.
This Water is said in Ezekiel and Revelations, to have the Tree of Life grow on the Banks of it, Ezek. 47. Rev. 22. and was a type of the Word and Spirit of God, by which, both Christ himself sanctified himself, in order to his Worship, as high Priest: And also this Water is that which Heals all those that shall be Saved; and by which, they being Sanctified thereby also, do all their works of Worship and Service acceptably, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
