Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 47:12

_ _ Instead of the “vine of Sodom and grapes of Gomorrah” (Deuteronomy 32:32), nauseous and unwholesome, trees of life-giving and life-restoring virtue shall bloom similar in properties to, and exceeding in number, the tree of life in Eden (Revelation 2:7; Revelation 22:2, Revelation 22:14).

_ _ leaf ... not fade — expressing not only the unfailing character of the heavenly medicine of the tree of life, but also that the graces of the believer (as a tree of righteousness), which are the leaves, and his deeds, which are the fruits that flow from those graces, are immortal (Psalms 1:3; Jeremiah 17:8; Matthew 10:42; 1 Corinthians 15:58).

_ _ new fruit — literally, “firstlings,” or first fruit. They are still, each month afresh, as it were, yielding their first-fruit [Fairbairn]. The first-born of a thing, in Hebrew idiom, means the chiefest. As Job 18:13, “the first-born of death,” that is, the most fatal death.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 47:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 47:12

Consumed — Never be consumed, never decay, there shall always be fruit, and enough. Their waters — Those that watered them. Issued out — And so carried a blessing with them.
