Topography shown is present day Jerusalem. A measure of one thousand (long) cubits is about 500 yards in distance, the equivalent to about 1,500 feet. (One mile is equal to 5,280 feet). New Jerusalem, like the dew of Hermon, comes down upon the mountain of Zion, for a blessing of life during the millennial age.

Location of the River

1 -- At a distance of 1,000 cubits from the sanctuary, the water is six inches deep, at the approximate location of the Mt. of Olives.
2 -- At 2,000 cubits, the water is about 22 inches deep...
3 -- At 3,000 cubits distant, the water is about 34 inches deep...
4 -- At 4,000 cubits, the water is very deep, water suitable for swimming...
5 -- Site of the old city of Jerusalem...
6 -- At the "Golden Gate" of the temple mount site.

A "plantation" of many trees is on each side of the water. The Kidron apparently is no longer a valley; the land is to be "lifted up and set down as a plain" for considerable distances surrounding Jerusalem in the "day of the LORD," according to Zechariah's prophecy, 14:7-11.

The earthquakes of "the day" help to decimate the hostiles which then surround Jerusalem on all sides at "the end of the days."
