On the banks of the future river that will flow from the sanctuary, trees will grow, of which it is said, “The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine” (Ezek. 47:1212And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. (Ezekiel 47:12)). This agrees with Revelation 22:22In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:2). The prophet Jeremiah twice observes that when God brings His judgments upon a people, no medicine will cure them (Jer. 30:1313There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. (Jeremiah 30:13); Jer. 46:1111Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. (Jeremiah 46:11)). Proverbs 17:22A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. (Proverbs 17:2)2 Says, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,” or “promoteth healing.”
