This is from the book Kelly Varner the prophet wrote "Principles of Present Truth, Ezekiel." In this book he relates some verses from Ezekiel to other verses with in the Bible and no doubt God gave Kelly Varner a lot of revelations, i don't understand all of them, but this one stood out to me, this is a helpful book for the symbolic language written in Ezekiel, I am no where near finished reading it yet.

He linked Ezekiel 47:2 to John 19:34 "Waters from the Right Side" in his book. But I read from Ezekiel 47:1-9 and John 19:34. And the details of both are strikingly the same. Check it out.

Ezekiel 47:1-9

The Healing Waters and Trees
47 Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.

3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.

7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.

John 19:34
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

The living waters and blood that flowed out of Jesus are exactly the same as waters flowing to the east under the temple mentioned in Ezekiel, both give cleansing, healing & life, this is a highly prophetic detail that Ezekiel saw. Then you read the verse following after Ezekiel 47:1-9 it talks about the fishers of men.

Ezekiel 47:10
10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

It's amazing, Ezekiel 47:1-9 sounds exactly like Jesus. :)
