Heaven’s River Story in Ezekiel 47

Story Walkthrough

River Source (1-2) – Jesus showed Ezekiel the flowing water at the temple gates: a vision of the Holy Spirit moving from heaven to earth.

Drawings: A river (streams) will flow from heaven (temple) bringing God’s light to the world (sunrise).

Immersion Guide (3-6) – Jesus took Ezekiel further downstream showing him the river depths: a picture of experiencing more of God’s Spirit.

Drawings: The Guide (man & cross) leads the prophet (man & flame) into the river to swim (deep water).

Living Streams (7-9) – Life flourishes wherever the river flows: a picture of God’s presence bringing life and purpose to all who receive.

Drawings: The river from heaven (water) produces flourishing, abundant life (fruit tree, beast, fish).

Healing Nations (10-12) – Fruit trees line the riverbanks. The fruit feeds and the leaves heal. God sends the river to heal every nation.

Drawings: Anyone who chooses to live in this river (fisherwoman) will learn how to minister healing (fruit) and inspire others to worship God (fishing pole & fish).
