47:1 Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar.
47:2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.
47:3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles.
The ankles are useful to stand up. It means that Holy Spirit anoints us, so we have the firm conviction, faith, believing, and trust to God. It is the same as entering the Gate of Tabernacle.
Acts 4:12
4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
The fact is trusting Jesus as the only savior or not denying Him until the end line. We keep on holding fast to the true teaching word or not being shaken by the false teaching.
1 Peter 1:6-7
1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials.
1:7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah 9:5
9:5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth; They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Be careful, because lie makes us weary ourselves to commit iniquity and blame other people. Covering sin means repeating it up to the peak which aims at the destruction forever. - Holy Spirit came up to the waist. It refers to the womb.
Ezekiel 47:4b

6:2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
The requirement of the true water baptism is repenting or being dead to sin.
The implementation of the true water baptism is that one who has died to sin must be buried in water with Jesus, then he comes out of water with Him. So, the heaven is opened and we get a new life or the one in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 6:14
6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness.
On waist, there is a belt. Having girded our waist with righteousness means living in righteousness and holding fast to the true teaching word.
On waist, there are also kidneys or the filter of the dirty substances. If the kidneys or our deepest feeling is good, we will reject other teaching, be brave to sacrifice all things in the world for the true teaching word, and live in righteousness.
The servant of God who is faithful and righteous becomes the instrument of righteousness. The faithfulness and righteousness are the jewelry, so our life becomes beautiful.
John 3:4-7
3:4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

The proof is that we cannot walk anymore. It means as follows:- Sitting on the grass. It means being shepherded well and correctly. It begins from men, shepherd, or husband, then wife and children will follow.

Romans 8:15
8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." - Surrendering and crying to God.

47:9 "And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.
It means that Holy Spirit is able to preserve our physical life which is small and powerless in the midst of the great difficulties or impossibilities in the world. Holy Spirit is able to preserve our spiritual life, so we keep right in the midst of the crooked age and live in righteousness and holiness or do not walk on the wrong path.
Hosea 14:9
14:9 Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them.

We keep faithful and fervent in spirit in the service and ministry to God.
We feel peace. We do not feel anything that flesh feels anymore, but only the love of God. We can love God more than anything. We can love other people, even the enemies.
The face becomes cheerful. We become strong and fresh until the time when Jesus comes for the second time. Our face shines like a sun and we become perfect like Jesus to welcome His second coming.
