Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From Engedi to Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.
This cannot be literal water for washing sacrifices, that would make a sacred vision into a common sewer. These waters are the Gospel of Christ flowing out from Jerusalem, carrying the gifts and power of the Holy Ghost to spread and bless the world. Grace begun here becomes glory perfected hereafter.

Commenting on Ezekiel 47:1-12
These fishers are the apostles Christ made fishers of men, and all Gospel ministers after them, laborious and constant in their work despite the world's contempt, persecution, and storms, drawing souls out of sin's abyss unto Christ for salvation.
AI summary
En-gedi and En-eglaim mark the whole Dead Sea's bounds. Every kind of fish, signifying every class, noble and base, rich and poor, drawn from the world's sea to salvation; nothing escapes the apostles' net.
