Ezekiel 47:11
“But the miry places of it, and its marshes, will not be healed. They will be given up to salt.”
What does Ezekiel 47:11 mean?
In Ezekiel's vision of a restored Jerusalem, a life-giving river flows from the temple, healing the land and bringing abundance everywhere it reaches. But this verse reminds us that some places remain unredeemed, salty and barren, given over to decay. Rather than a discouraging note, this reflects a truth we know from experience: healing isn't always universal or complete in this world. Some damage persists despite grace at work around it. What makes this vision powerful isn't that everything becomes perfect, but that life and restoration genuinely flourish where they do take hold, making the healing real even as brokenness remains.
