The brightness of our
revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines (our building blocks)
THE THIRD DAY PROPHECY
(Hos
6:1,2) Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he
will heal us; he hath smitten [Heb:
wounded], and he will bind us up [i.e., bandage us up]. After two days [2,000 years: 2 Pet 3:8] will he revive us: in the third
day he will raise us up [our resurrection:
1 Thes 4:17; Rev 20:5,6], and we
shall live [eternally] in his sight.
1. smitten = Heb: to strike
(lightly or severely): wound. [Rev 13:11-18]
2. revive & live = Heb: khaw-yaw; to live: keep (leave, make)
alive, give life, quicken, recover, repair, restore to life, save, be whole.
MORE THIRD DAY PROPHECY
(John 2:1-4) And the third day there was a
marriage [a coming together into
oneness] in Cana of Galilee; and [Mary] the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and
his disciples [Gk: learners,
pupils], to the marriage. And when they wanted [Gk: lacked] wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour [time of departure, death] is not yet come [that I shall send the Holy Spirit: John
16:4-7].
1. wine
= Gk:
wine /// to effervesce /// wine (as
fermented); intoxication: banqueting, wine bibber.
a. effervesce = Dict: 1. to give off bubbles
of gas, as fermenting liquors; bubble and hiss. 2. to issue forth in
bubbles. 3. to exhibit fervor, excitement, liveliness, etc. [to
give off revelations]
2. (Gen 8:6-8) And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark which
he had made: And he sent forth a raven [Satan], which went forth to and fro,
until the waters were dried up from off the earth. Also he sent forth a dove [the Holy Spirit] from him,
to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
a. dove = Heb: a dove (apparently) from the warmth of
their mating /// to effervesce, wine (as fermented); intoxication: banqueting,
wine bibber.
b. (Mat
3:16) And Jesus,
when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the
heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the
Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
3. (John 16:4-7) But these things have I [Jesus] told you, that
when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And
these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. But
now I go my way to him that sent me;
and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient [Gk: be good, be profitable] for you that I go away: for if I go not
away, the Comforter [Gk:
intercessor, consoler: advocate] [i.e., the Holy Spirit, the dove] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I
will send him unto you.
(John
2:5-8)
His mother saith unto the servants [us], Whatsoever he saith
unto you, do it. And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying [Gk: a washing off (ceremonially): cleansing]
[for sanctification, symbolized by the brasen laver of the Old Testament] of the Jews, containing two or
three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with
water [i.e., the Old Testament water
of the word of God]. And they filled
them up to the brim [filled
with as much as they could contain].
And he saith unto them [unto the Old
Testament disciples/servants], Draw
out now [i.e., empowerment], and bear [i.e., sent] unto the
governor of the feast [they were
“now” empowered, and “sent” as missionaries]. And they bare it
[they obeyed].
1. Commentary: “six waterpots of stone” = Six is the biblical number symbolizing man, and stone refers to the hardness
of his heart. One firkin equals nine gallons of water; one gallon
of water equals seven pounds. Each of the six waterpots (mankind) was filled up
with two firkins (18 gallons = 126
pounds of water) “or”
three firkins (27 gallons = 189 pounds
of water), and both of the latter poundages represent the average weights
of women (126 pounds) and men (189 pounds).
FROM THE NEW DRINKING, A
SUDDEN SHIFT IN VALUES
(John
2:9-11)
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water [of the Old Testament] that was [now] made wine [the revelations of the New Testament], and knew not whence it was [from where it came]: (but the servants [disciples,
us] which drew the water knew
[Gk: understood];) the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom [Jesus in type and
shadow], And saith unto him, Every
man at the beginning [“In the
beginning…” Gen 1:1] doth set forth good [Gk: beautiful: virtuous] wine [the Old Testament]; and
when men have well drunk [Heb: to
drink to intoxication], then that
which is worse [inaccurate
erroneous paraphrased renditions of the word of God, renditions of the Bible,
but not as good]: but thou hast kept the good [better] wine [the New
Testament] until now. This
beginning of miracles [the “gooder”
wine] did Jesus in Cana of
1. Commentary: well drunk = some to intoxication, and some to sanctification (a
different kind of intoxication).
