Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 27, 2020

In Ezekiel 47, The prophet receives a vision of the River flowing from the Temple and he is invited to cross the River at various crossing. What does each crossing signify.

You may well say to me, not so. And I will concede that in 2011, while Jerusalem was in the ...read more
