Excerpt from Sacred Streams: Or the Ancient and Modern History of the Rivers of the Bible How great must have been the joy and comfort which the ancient people of God took in their rills and brooks wherewith their thirst was quenched, and by which fertility was given to the beautiful and goodly land, that land of brooks of water, of hills and valleys, which Jehovah had given them, and from which so many sweet images and allusions were drawn, turning their thoughts to earthly and heavenly blessings, and to their gracious and loving God!

Excerpt from Sacred Streams: Or the Ancient and Modern History of the Rivers of the Bible There is no little theology, as well as history, abiding by the sacred rivers; whoever will trace them with care may be a very learned man; and he who will drink of them, whenever he can, will be a man of life, as well as learning. The first river went out of Eden; it was the river of Paradise, lost now, and as untraceable as the entrance to the garden. The last river brings us to God and the New Jerusalem; it is the pure river of the water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and the Lamb. But the first river, like the first man, was of the earth earthy; the last river, like the second man, is the Lord from heaven. But there is an intermediate river, the foretaste of the last, as the earnest of the Spirit is the foretaste of the heavenly inheritance. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of our God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. Divine Truth and Grace constitute that river for the healing of the nations. That was Ezekiel's vision of the holy waters, issuing from the Sanctuary.
