1) A document from the Huldah Ministry discusses Ezekiel's prophecy of water flowing from the Jerusalem temple eastward towards the Dead Sea, making the land fertile.
2) Recent photos show sewage currently flowing from Jerusalem into the Dead Sea, though scientific research has found life existing at the bottom of the sea.
3) The document suggests that discoveries of fresh water sinkholes and springs on the Dead Sea show Ezekiel's prophecy beginning to be fulfilled, bringing religious and scientific communities together and potentially saving the ecosystem.
TOPOGRAPHY OVER JERUSALEM IS READY FOR THE KINGDOM OF MESSIAH

SISTERS IN CHRIST
【TOPOGRAPHY OVER JERUSALEM IS
READY FOR THE KINGDOM OF MESSIAH】
The man brought me back to the entrance to the
temple, and I saw water coming out from under the
threshold of the temple towards the east (for the
temple faced east). The water was coming down from
under the south side of the temple, south of the
altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate
and led me round the outside to the outer gate facing
east, and the water was trickling from the south side.
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line
in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits] and
then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He
measured off another thousand cubits and led me
through water that was knee-deep. He measured off
another thousand and led me through water that was
up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand,
but now it was a river that I could not cross, because
the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in –
a river that no one could cross. 6 He asked me, ‘Son of
man, do you see this?’ Then he led me back to the
bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great
number of trees on each side of the river. 8 He said to
me, ‘This water flows towards the eastern region and
goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead
Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there
becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live
wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers
of fish, because this water flows there and makes the
salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything
will live. 10 Fishermen will stand along the shore; from
En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for
spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds – like
the fish of the Mediterranean Sea. 11 But the swamps
and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left
for salt. 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both

We believe in one GOD, in three
persons; FATHER, SON and
HOLY SPIRIT. We regard the
Bible (both Hebrew Bible and
New Testament) as the only
infallible authoritative
WORD OF GOD.
HULDAH MINISTRY aims to return
to the Word Of God, founded on
Hebrew background and to interpret
it from Hebraic perspective,
acknowledging that Jesus is a Jew
and the Jewish-ness of His teaching
as a continuation from the Hebrew
Bible. The Ministry also aims to put
His teaching into practice, to have a
closer relationship with the Lord,
Jesus Christ, and to regularly have
a Christian fellowship so that this-
worldly kingdom of God will
materialise in the midst of the
followers of Jesus here and now, as
well as earnestly seeking Christ's
Return to establish the otherworldly
Kingdom of God on earth.
All activities are free of charge and no obligation
whatever. Just enjoy our fellowship!

banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will
bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food
and their leaves for healing.’ EZEKIEL47:1-12.
Photos of sewage flowing from Jerusalem into the Dead Sea, the lowest spot on earth via the
Kidron Valley can be seen in an article on Israel365News, which the Jerusalem Post once
described as: “The beautiful wadi (desert stream) runs from east Jerusalem, where it cuts past the walls of
the Old City (and the appropriately named "Dung Gate") and the Mount of Olives, becomes a deep canyon
as it whirls eastward through the Judean Desert plateau, passes several Arab localities, and finally gushes
into the Dead Sea. But the stream is no longer beautiful, as every single drop of its 28,000 cubic meters per
day is comprised of sewage from Israeli and Palestinian urban areas” (on 28 June,2007).
According to the Bible, both Abraham’s and Lot’s possessions were so great that Abraham
wanted to part company with Lot, and offered Lot a choice of the land he wanted to possess. Lot,
seeing that the whole plain of the Jordan was fertile and well-watered like the garden of the Lord,
chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan towards the east and pitched his tents near Sodom,
while Abraham began to live in the land of Canaan. But after God destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah, the landscape drastically changed into a wasteland, with fire and brimstone falling
into the valley. So, the Bible tells that the area can be alternately vibrant and barren. In fact, the
recent article above reveals that while such an ecological problem of approximately 150,000
homes not connected to a sewage system and about 8 million gallons of sewage flowing into the
Dead Sea, is distressing and contrary to Ezekiel’s vision of a thriving sea full of life, scientific
research has proved the existence of life at the bottom of the sea.
The existence of sinkholes on the shores of the Dead Sea, which fill with fresh water, brackish
water or even fish has been reported after the end of 20th
century. The article mentioned above,
pointing to another Scripture from Joel 3:18 as its fulfillment: ‘In that day the mountains will
drip new wine, and the hills will flow with milk; all the ravines of Judah will run with water. A
fountain will flow out of the LORD’s house and will water the valley of acacias’, refers to
another exciting discovery in the Dead Sea: ‘Fresh water at the Dead Sea is a clear example of how
the prophets were able to see things that remained hidden from scientists for thousands of years. …In 2011,
a team of researchers from Ben Gurion University in the Negev sent divers to the floor of the Dead Sea.
This endeavor posed serious technical difficulties as the super-saline environment renders regular scuba
gear inoperable. It was the first time such a dive had ever been made, and what they discovered was
astounding. The researchers discovered huge craters on the seafloor, 15 meters across and 20 meters
deep. Freshwater was flowing from these craters, which were carpeted with mats of microorganisms,
showing that the Dead sea was not entirely dead. The beginnings of the prophecy are in place, waiting to
spring forth. …It is bringing together the religious, anyone who reads the Bible, who are fascinated by the
prophecy manifesting itself. It is also pulling in the scientific community who are just beginning to realize
how much they need to learn about this very special place. And it is also bringing in the environmentally-
minded who want to save this very special ecosystem’.
As for me, regardless of its quality, the existence of a distinct stream from Jerusalem to the
Dead Sea on the arial photograph shows the beginning of the prophecies of the Messianic era
without question. Further, the vision of water flowing from the Jerusalem Temple eastwards to
the Dead Sea reminded me of Christ’s declaration of the New Testament era, when each follower
of Christ, in whom His Spirit dwells, is reckoned as the temple of God. Christ taught a Samaritan
woman: ‘whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them
will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. …Yet a time is coming and has
now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for
they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks’ (John4:14, :23, Lines added), which seems to
be a spiritual illustration of the Messianic Temple. So, now that almost 2000 years have passed
since the era of worshipping in Spirit and truth started, which replaced a form of worship that was
based on externals such as location and buildings, the kingdom of God on earth appears to be at
hand.
