Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 47:5

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 .

This was all done in vision, and these waters thus encreased were visional waters, there was no such natural course of waters in the place, nor is it imaginable, that in three Miles, or thereabouts, which was the most of the current, the waters should so rise; but it is Emblematical, and hath a deep mysterious meaning, and includes spiritual things, and their wonderful growth from small beginnings, and these from the Temple also: But I refer this still to private meditations.
