The Dead Sea is dead! There is not one living creature in the Dead Sea and because there is no outflow, it is shrinking yearly!
It seems that the future of the Dead Sea is not very promising. But not even the Dead Sea is too dead for our God!
Ezekiel 47:8-10(NLT)
8 Then he said to me, “This river flows east through the desert into the valley of the Dead Sea. The waters of this stream will make the salty waters of the Dead Sea fresh and pure. 9 There will be swarms of living things wherever the water of this river flows. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. Life will flourish wherever this water flows. 10 Fishermen will stand along the shores of the Dead Sea. All the way from En-gedi to En-eglaim, the shores will be covered with nets drying in the sun. Fish of every kind will fill the Dead Sea, just as they fill the Mediterranean.
Ezekiel is shown a vision of the temple in Jerusalem. He sees a river flowing from the temple that gives life to the desert and makes the salty water of the Dead Sea fresh and pure!
There is nothing on this earth that is capable to subtract the salt of the Dead Sea to make it living again. The only thing that can make the Dead Sea alive again is the water flowing from the Temple of God!
In the same way, nothing can wash away the corrupt nature of man except the living water that comes from Jesus Christ!
Like the Judean wilderness and the Dead Sea, we can receive healing, increased abundance of life, and even eternal life as a result of partaking of the water of life that issues forth from the presence of God in the temple.
John 4:14(AMP)
14But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.
So no matter how “dead” you are, drinking from His living water will bring you back to life!
Shalom!
