And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
Then he asked me, 'Did you see all of that?' After that, he walked me back to the edge of the river again.
Sometimes God shows us something amazing and then brings us back to where we started, but now we see it differently.
📚 Historical Context

In this vision from chapter 47, a divine guide leads Ezekiel through a miraculous river flowing from the temple, symbolizing God's abundant life and healing for the land. This scene fits into the broader context of Ezekiel's prophecies about a renewed temple and the return of God's people from exile.
