Gordon ... great question
Our cultures are so different from Old Testament and New Testament
writings.
The male's sperm and blood were often called "Living Water" ... and a
river that would flow deep below the surface - fountains - that many
called "Living Water"
Hebrews chapter 10:1 speaks of the Law having a shadow of good things
to come, and not the very image ...
There is something called "the law of first mentioned" - when something
is mentioned for the first time in scripture - it holds true through
out ... from OT to NT ...
interpretations? ... there are definitions to each "inspired Word"
written in the Holy Scriptures ... just like a mathmatical equation
there is only one correct answer. The problem is ... some of these
equations take time to work.
Define the Word - the orginal text of the bible is where the answers
are ... Get yourself an interlinear bible - Hebrew/Greek English and a
Condordance - these will scratch the surface of the culture and customs
... the manners of bible times.
Your question about water - would take weeks to go through and cover
... Remember this it does not matter what this post says ... God has a
family ( his sheep ) and he knows them ... and they know him - (My
sheep hear my voice)
Word Definition - Common english word "Angel" - come from the greek
koine word "aggelos" --> which in the first century ment "messenger"
agape - greek - and this is love (as John actually defines love for us
in english - II John 1:6) ... And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the
beginning, ye should walk in it.
There is a deeper hidden meaning - just as Jesus said to his disciples
(his learners, pupils - mathetes - his sheep)
"Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them it is not given."
Mathaytes
Post by GordonI see the words water, or waters throughout the bible, and it
usually means people, but I'm sure there are other hidden or
subtle meanings. Please comment on this and share your
interpretation ideas.
Thanks, Gordon
