Meaning

This verse comes from the book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament, specifically in Ezekiel 47:4. In this passage, the prophet Ezekiel is describing a vision he had of a man leading him through a series of measurements of water. The man measures out a distance of a thousand cubits, and brings Ezekiel through waters that come up to his knees. Then, the man measures out another thousand cubits and leads Ezekiel through waters that rise to his loins. This vision is often interpreted as a symbol of spiritual growth and transformation. The increasing depth of the waters represents a progression in faith and understanding, with the waters rising higher as Ezekiel goes further along his spiritual journey. The act of being led through the waters can symbolize being guided and supported by a higher power as one navigates the challenges and trials of life. Overall, this verse can serve as a reminder of the importance of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity.
