• “Everything Will Live Wherever the Stream Goes”
    Pure Worship of Jehovah—Restored At Last!

    • 10, 11. (a) What blessings flow to us like a river today? (b) How has the flow of blessings from Jehovah expanded to meet growing needs during the last days?

      10 A river of blessings. The water flowing from Jehovah’s house reminds us of what blessings today? Really, we are reminded of all that contributes to our spiritual health and nourishment. Foremost is the cleansing power of Christ’s ransom sacrifice, which makes the forgiveness of our sins possible. The pure truths of God’s Word are also likened to life-giving, cleansing water. (Eph. 5:25-27)

  • “Everything Will Live Wherever the Stream Goes”
    Pure Worship of Jehovah—Restored At Last!

    • 17 A river of blessings. The symbolic river will, in a sense, be far more expansive in Paradise, for its benefits will be not only spiritual but also physical. During Jesus’ Thousand Year Reign, God’s Kingdom will help faithful ones to benefit from the ransom in a much greater way. Gradually, they will be lifted to perfection! No more diseases, doctors, nurses, hospitals, health insurance! That water of life will flow to the millions of Armageddon survivors, “a great crowd” who will emerge from “the great tribulation.” (Rev. 7:9, 14)

      Young and healthy people working and enjoying themselves in Paradise. A river is flowing in the background.

      In Paradise, the river of blessings will make everyone young and healthy (See paragraph 17)

  • A Trickle Becomes a Torrent!
    Pure Worship of Jehovah—Restored At Last!

    • A Trickle Becomes a Torrent!

      Ezekiel follows a stream as it trickles from Jehovah’s sanctuary and miraculously becomes a deep torrent in just over a mile! Along the riverbanks, he sees luxuriant trees that offer nourishment and healing. What does it all mean?

      A stream flowing from Jehovah’s sanctuary and becoming a deep torrent. Signs indicate the depth of the water downstream. 1,000 cubits: ankle-deep. 2,000 cubits: knee-deep. 3,000 cubits: hip-deep. 4,000 cubits: too deep to cross on foot.

      The River Brings Blessings

      ANCIENT: Once the exiles returned to their homeland, blessings flowed to them as they took part in the restoration of pure worship at the temple

      MODERN: In 1919 pure worship was restored, opening the way for an unprecedented flow of spiritual blessings to God’s faithful servants

      FUTURE: After Armageddon, the flow of blessings from Jehovah will be physical as well as spiritual in nature
