* waters issued.
Solomon's temple and the second temple were doubtless well
supplied with water, probably conveyed there by means of
pipes; but these waters flowed from the temple, not as a
common sewer, but as a fertilizing river. A fountain
producing abundance of water was not in the temple, and could
not be there on the top of such a hill; and consequently these
waters, as well as those spoken of by Joel and Zechariah, must
be understood figuratively and typically. These waters
doubtless were an emblem of the "gospel preached with the Holy
Ghost sent down from heaven;" and their gradual rise
beautifully represents it progress, from small beginnings to
an immensely large increase; and the latter part of the
representation may relate to the times when it shall fill the
earth, and produce the most extensive and important effects on
the state of making in every nation.
