This is definitely a Bible study not many Churches teach about. And a lot of Churches would never do it anyway, because they often wrongly believe all The Old Testament prophecies are already dead history, when they certainly are not.
1. God's Garden of Eden, and His River that flowed out of Eden, were at one time manifested upon this earth. It was prior to the time of Adam and Eve's sin.
Gen 2:10-14
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
KJV
God's River in His Eden at one time flowed out of His Garden of Eden to feed four other rivers upon the earth. The rivers Euphrates, and Hiddekel (Tigris) still exist on earth today, in the nation of Iraq. No one knows for sure where those other two rivers are, the Pison and the Gihon. Men only speculate.
2. God's River is mentioned in Revelation 22, as Apostle John was given a vision of the future, shows its return to this earth...
Rev 22:1-3
22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:
KJV
In John 7:38, Lord Jesus gave a metaphor about rivers of flowing water out of one's belly by Faith on Him, but He was referring to The Holy Spirit in the sense of rivers. However, some have taken that idea and treated this Revelation 22:1 River as being just a metaphor also. But it is not. This River here in Revelation 22:1 is God's River that flowed out of Eden upon this earth per Genesis 2. It is a literal River that will flow out from the throne of God and of The Lamb.
Remember the traditional song, 'We Shall Gather At The River', my mother's favorite. That River is not a metaphor, it is real, literal. And it will be re-established upon this earth as it once was, along with God's Garden of Eden.
3. The Ezekiel 47 Chapter gives the most detail about God's River, and its future return upon this earth, along with the Tree of Life. Ezekiel 47 is not often mentioned because as I said before, many Churches either think it is too controversial, or that it already happened, which both ideas simply are not true. The Ezekiel 40 through 48 Chapters all occur after... Christ's future return.
Ezek 47:1-12
47 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
Do you recall John 14 where Jesus told His disciples that He goes to prepare a place for them, and that in His Father's house are many mansions? That above is that same Father's "house" of the future, after Christ's future return. The Greek word for "mansions" in John 14 means 'abodes'. Lord Jesus was pointing to the abodes of the future priests at the future Millennial temple of Ezekiel that will manifest with Christ's future reign over the nations, as He promised His elect overcomers will reign with Him, per Revelation 2:25-28.
So these waters originate from God's future "house" on earth. They go out from the Altar at that future "house", and flow eastward. Ezekiel is being shown this vision by the angel.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
Ezekiel then saw waters flowing out on the right side. The angel then measured a thousand cubits out into the water, and brought Ezekiel into those waters, and the water was up to Ezekiel's ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
Then the angel measured out another thousand cubits, and led Ezekiel out in those waters, and the waters were up to Ezekiel's loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
Then finally, the angel measured yet another thousand cubits into the waters, and the river had become one that could not be passed over, the waters deep to swim in. That idea that the river could not be passed over suggests its waters were flowing real fast, like the Colorado white water rapids. If you tried to swim to the other side, you'd just be carried away down river with the rapids.
6 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.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Once Ezekiel is brought back to the river bank, he sees these many trees that were on each side of the River.
8 Then said he unto me, "These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
In these next verses the location of this River is shown to be in the Holy Land, in the middle east. So the River flowing eastward, and going down into the desert, has to be referring to the Dead Sea, which is to the east of Jerusalem.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
Everywhere... that River flows, and comes into contact with waters upon the earth, their waters will be healed. And there will be a very great multitude of fish because of God's River that will flow out from His future Throne on earth. This truly then, is the real... waters of Life from The Father and His Son (Revelation 22:1). It is meant literally. That River is not symbolic, it will be a literal manifesting upon this earth after Christ's future return. It won't be up in the clouds above the earth, no, it will literally be upon this earth, as after Christ's future 2nd coming, He is going to start cleansing the earth of its pollutions and the works by man.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
There is undeniable Biblical proof that God's River will be re-established in the middle east, in the Holy Land. Both the places of En-gedi and En-eglaim are Biblical locations associated with events involving the children of Israel.
11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
But the swamps ("marishes") won't be healed, but instead given to salt. That might hint as a future place where the people will gather salt for their diet.
