Living Water

  It's interesting that Bible studies don't focus on Living Water.  Natural water is essential for life, Living Water is essential for eternal Life.  In this study, I will write about the internal spiritual well, compare natural water to spiritual water and how it effects us as in salvation.

  First we see living water recorded by Jeremiah and Zechariah.  Here are the verses  Jeremiah 2:13:, Jeremiah 17:13, and Zechariah 14:8-9.  Then in the New Testament, John 4:1-15 and John 7, 37-39.

  For My people have done two evils:
They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns.  Jeremiah 2:13

  Here is Jeremiah in the last days of the tribe of Judah before the Jews are taken captive into Babylon.  Babylon itself is then taken captive and the Jews are still captive there.  In this verse the Jews have abandoned Yahuah Elohiym, the fountain of living waters, and they created a religion that is like a cistern, not a natural spring.  It's obviously an attempt to control what kind of water that is placed into it and control what is taken out of it.  With  a natural spring, people would adorn the spring, not abandon it. A cracked cistern, their religion  doesn't hold spiritual sping water, not to mention the purity of runoff water.  Therefore Yahuah Elohiym let Babylon take the best people and destroy the nation of Judah. 
  As a side note, Yahuah did keep His promise that there will always be someone on King David's Throne.  She was King Zedekiah's daughter.  Jeremiah took her to Ireland where she married into the House of David there.  She became High Queen.  Greater Ireland was blessed by Yahuah Elohiym at that time.  The House of David never returned to Judah.   The House of King Herod was a Roman Edomite client King who had converted to Judaism.  In other words, Judaism's cistern is still cracked.  

    O Yahuah, the hope of Israel,
All who forsake You will be put to shame.  Those who turn away on earth will be written down because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahuah.  Jeremiah 17:13

  What this verse didn't say is that Yahuah is the hope of the Jews, meaning Judah only.  Yahuah is the hope of the Israelites, all the tribes of Israel.  Once again, Jeremiah is saying Yahuah Elohiym is the fountain of Living Water.   Those who forsake the fountain of living water, will face the house of teeth and fire.  It's interesting to note that the missing Tribes of Israel are not missing in Jeremiah's mind.  

  Behold, a day is coming for Yahuah when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.  Indeed, I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half of the city will go forth in exile, but those left of the people will not be cut off from the city.
  When prophecy is written, there could be gaps of long periods of time in between verse.   Also it may be fulfilled, and fulfilled again before the next verse is fulfilled.  Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE.  However it wasn't a World War.  In this prophetic timeline there's spoils of war taken from them, returned to them, and then a World War against them.  Judea was returned to the Jews in 1947 after WW2 but never a world war against Judea.   Next thing to happen is WW 3.  I believe it will be a continuation of Southeast Europe, the Middle East and Northeast Africa.  

  Then Yahuah will go forth and fight against those nations, as the day when He fights on a day of battle.  And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.
  This hasn't happened yet.  It was the Mount of Olives is where the Ascension took place.   This is where Yahusha Hamashia will return.  On His return, the Mount of Olives will split in two.  Also the graveyard outside the Eastern Gate will split apart.  

  And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; indeed, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.  Then Yahuah, my Elohiym, will come, and all the Holy Ones with Him!  And it will be in that day, that there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle.  And it will be a unique day which is known to Yahuah, neither day nor night, but it will be that at evening time there will be light.
  To say the least, there will be a time of great earthquakes, the sun's light will not reach the ground.   One can only imagine an overcast eternal night.  But then there's light not from the sun, but there will be light when the Earth is in its own shadow.  The fulfillment of this prophecy cannot be faked.  

  And it will be in that day, that living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.  And Yahuah will be king over all the earth; in that day Yahuah will be the only one, and His name one.  Zechariah 14:1-9
  I believe this prophecy will be fulfilled by a spring of water flowing from Jerusalem and also spiritually flowing from Jerusalem.  Yahusha Hamashia will be High King over all the Earth.  A more stable climate will also happen.  Could this be changed by the Earth shifting in its orbit around the sun?  Having done Yahusha's ancestral research, by birth He has the birthright to be High King.  You may ask what sea is East of Jerusalem?  That will be the sea that  will extend out from the Dead Sea today fed by the Jordan River and a future Jerusalem River.   Lake Erie is 569 feel above sea level.  The question is, what will be the elevation of the Sea East of Jerusalem?  (Jerusalem Sea?)  What is interesting is that Lake Erie is over 1200 feet above the Sea of Galilee.  Jerusalem could be a Seaport City like that of the Great Lakes.  

John 4:1-30

  Therefore when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.  And He had to pass through Samaria.  So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; and Jacob’s well was there.  So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well.  It was about the sixth hour.
  I believe these verses have information needed to understand the following verses.  Sychar is about midway between Jerusalem and the Sea of Galilee.  It took most of the day to get there by foot.   Normally they would sleep the night and start in the morning.  Jacob's well would be a chance to refill their water supply.  What is interesting is that Yahusha was resting at the well about noon.   This would say that Yahusha and the Disciples started out in the  middle of the night.  The question is, did they flee Jerusalem about 11PM, walking all night, into Samaria knowing Jews would not follow? 

  A woman of Samaria came to draw water.  Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
  Women would get water morning and evening.   These were typically young women.   This would make this woman an outcast from society going to the well at noon.  Yahusha asking an outcast Samaritan woman is highly unusual for Jewish men, not to mention being kind to her.  

  Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)  Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
  Up to this point it was John the Baptist and Yahusha's Disciples that baptized by full submersion in the Jordan River.  But here is offered something new to an outcast of Samaritans and Jews.   

  She said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?  Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?”
  Her statement showed politeness, sound reasoning and knowledge of History.  

  Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst—ever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come back here to draw.”
  Yahusha was speaking of the spiritual living water.  She approached His statement politely the best she knew how without laughing at what may seem unimaginable.  

  He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.” The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’; for you had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.” 
  Yahusha knew who she was before she walked up to Him.   It's interesting to see her honest response without anger.  

 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a prophet.  Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”  Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.  You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.  But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.  God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
  Once again, this outcast woman is more knowledgeable than the Jewish Priests.   Yahusha then gave her more Truth.  

  The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when He comes, He will declare all things to us.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.
  Yahusha revealed His identity to her.  

  And at this point His disciples came, and they were marveling that He was speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You speaking with her?”. So the woman left her water jar, and went into the city and said to the men, “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; is this not the Christ?” They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.
  It's interesting how she was an outcast, getting water for some guy that did not take her for a wife, but after a talk with Yahusha Hamashia, the men of the city was now listening to what she was saying.  What was the difference?  It was the living water she drank.  

John 7:35-39

  The Jews then said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him?  Is He intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?  What is this statement that He said, ‘You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?
  It's interesting how the Jews showed no politeness.  But yet they looked for strategy and how Yahusha might become stronger politically.  But they showed their ignorance by trying to be wise.  

  Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were going to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
  This is the same message that He gave to the Samaritan woman.  If you to read further, you will see that the message about the living water caused division between the Jews.   Some wanting to eliminate Yahusha on the spot and any official who supports Yahusha Hamashia.   It's still this way today. 

H2O and Living Water Comparison 

  So what is water?  Another name for it is dihydrogen monoxide.  You can say things like the next  quote and cause fear but yet water is essential for life. 

  I quote, "Dihydrogen monoxide is colourless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year.  Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO vapour, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.  Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage."

  In other words, if you breathe water you drown.   If you expose your skin to ice to long, you get frost bite.  It's this kind of logic that may cause people to fear Living Water.  Let's look at Hydrogen.  

   I quote, "Hydrogen is crucial for life because it's a primary component of water, a necessity for all known life forms, and it's a key component of many organic molecules. Additionally, hydrogen fuels the sun, providing the energy and light that support life on Earth."

  Spiritually the counterpart for hydrogen is Elohiym, the Father and the Word made flesh.  Father Yahuah and His Word made Flesh, also known as Yahuah of Hosts is the primary part of Elohiym.  He fuels Spiritual Light.  His fingerprints are on Life itself.  Oxygen would be the Holy Spirit.  The  Breath of Life was in all things.  The question is, have you been born again to receive it?  In other words Living Water is two parts Yahuah, one part Holy Spirit.  

  I quote, "75% of the human brain is water, and the human body needs water to regulate temperature, transport nutrients, and remove waste."
  Science cannot measure what Spirit or soul is made of.  However we know Living Water is Yahuah Elohiym.  In nature we see the same patterns over and over again in different things.  So our spiritual brain of the born again Spirit could be 75% the same as Living Water.  To confirm this theory, let's turn to the Bible.  

  I said, “You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High. Psalm 82:6

  Yahusha answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?  John 10:34
 
  The question is, what is the remaining 25% of the Spirit and Soul made of? 
  I quote, "The brain uses a variety of chemicals for various functions, including neurotransmitters and hormones. Key neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, GABA, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine. Hormones like oxytocin, cortisol, and melatonin also play important roles."
  The question is, what is the counterpart to neurotransmitters and Hormones?  This we will not know until the Afterlife.  But Prayer is a spiritual transmitter.  

  And when you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.  But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.  “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.  Therefore, do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew 6:5-8

  We may not understand spiritual transmitters, but certainly they are there.  The question is, do we know we have them?  Do we intend to use them?  In our bodies messages are delivered by hormones.  These hormones are made up of chemicals.  Change the chemical, change the message.  Change the message, you die.  The question is, spiritually if you changed the message, will you die spiritually?  In fact, you are born spiritually sentenced to death.  You only have your natural life to be born again spiritually to  have life eternal.  This is way it's so important to receive Living Water.  Like natural water, Living Water plays a crucial role in maintaining spiritual bodily functions.  Living Water is a solvent, transports nutrition from the Bread of Life, regulates or Spiritual temperature so it's not lukewarm and protection for our Spiritual hearts.   

  I quote, "Blood is more than 90% water and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body."

  The counterpart in our spiritual bodies to blood is unknown.  However it would be 90% Living Water.  Spiritual blood is pumped around by your spiritual heart containing the Holy Spirit.  Let's look at what oxygen does compared to the Holy Spirit.  

  I quote, "Cells use oxygen to break down glucose (sugar) and create ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of the body.  Oxygen supports the immune system by helping cells fight off infections and viruses.  The amount of inhaled air contains 21% of oxygen and 0.04% of carbon dioxide, while the air we breathe out contains 16.4% of oxygen and 4.4% of carbon dioxide."

  21+.04=21.04.  16.4+4.4=20.8.  That is a loss of .24% oxygen and carbon dioxide mixture with every breath we take in and exhale.  Plants will convert carbon dioxide back to oxygen and keep the carbon.  The question is, with every spiritual breath, do we keep the .24% in our spiritual bodies?  This reminds me of a verse in the Bible.  

  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.  Psalm 23:5

  What is interesting is that Olive oil has dissolved oxygen in it.   But when exposed to oxygen, the oil undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation, which can cause the oil to become rancid.  But Spiritually, what does this mean?  We know that there is dissolved oxygen in water,  not to be confused with the oxygen that water is made of. 

  I quote, "Oxygen enters water from the atmosphere through direct absorption, which is enhanced by factors like wind and turbulence. It's also a byproduct of aquatic plant photosynthesis." 

  It's interesting that the wind that is part oxygen itself, will give oxygen to the water it moves.   Spiritually the Holy Spirit moves us and is also enters us spiritually like the wind upon the water.  

  There is very little hydrogen in the air.   Hydrogen escapes into space.   But it is interesting to know that air containing oxygen moves over the face of the Earth like the Holy Spirit of Yahuah Elohiym moved over the face of a dark chaotic universe.  

  And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Genesis 1:2

  The vapor of an earlier universe was being saturated with the Breath of Life like oxygen into water.  Then Yahuah Elohiym said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  What people miss is that by Yahuah saying, Let there be Light, this wasn't a whisper, I believe this was a prolonged shout.  What happens when dust is that it can become organized into beautiful patterns.   But sound can also create chaos.   The underlined word in the verse is the same word used in verse 3, (Let there be).  It was a voice command to bring chaos and a voice command to bring an organized universe back into being.  

  The question has been asked, Is our universe trapped inside a black hole?  It was the James Webb Space Telescope that brought up this question.   From gathering information in Genesis,  there was no light, it was vapor.  Then as told in Genesis I:6, Yahuah created an expanse in the midst of the vapor, and let it separate the vapor from the vapor.”. In other words, Yahuah created a cavity in a Black Hole. 

  Yahusha is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Living Water is what brought Life to this universe.  
  

 




Mary Magdalene Chapter 9 and Commentary

1-2) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.  But Andrew answered and said...
