Note: NKJV LASB; Ezekiel 47: 8-9
The “valley” is the geological depression in which the Dead Sea lies. The sea will be “healed” or become fresh, the Dead Sea, a body of water so salty that nothing can live in it. The river will freshen the Dead Sea’s water so it can support life. This is another picture of the life-giving nature of the water that flows from God’s temple. Similarly, God’s power can transform us no matter how lifeless or corrupt we may be. Even if we feel bottomed out and beyond hope, His power can heal and restore us.
(See the notes from NKJV LASB 48:1-35)
