Why Water Matters in the Bible

In the beginning of the Bible, God transforms a desolate wilderness into a garden through a stream that waters the ground and brings life wherever it goes. This image gets developed throughout the biblical story as wells, cisterns, rain, and rivers all become images of God’s creative power. In this video, we’ll explore the “water of life” theme through the biblical story and see how it leads to Jesus, who presents himself as the one bringing living water to a world that is desperately thirsty.

@@70AD-user45 It really doesn't, the Bible is NOT up to interpetation: John 5:51-63 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[c] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[d] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum. The Words of Eternal Life 60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Shortly after saying this: 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Jesus says: 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. So, Jesus's words are Spirit and not flesh. This clearly shows Jesus did NOT mean for us to LITERALY eat Him and drink Him. This is supported by Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16 and many other verses which are clear we are saved by faith and not by cannibalism.

Us silly humans always thirst for more religion, more bibliolatry, more spirituality, more superstition. Always hunger for peace, and thirst for war. Nothing has changed in 2,000 years... nor 4,000 years...even the Pslams exclaim this: "Nothing new under the Sun". Even the Bibliolatry bears witness against itself "For the Spirit gives life, but the Letter kills!" ~ Paul the man who collected money from Churches (some of which he initially funded himself but did not really upkeep) throughout the Roman Empire.

@@Nana-Sheri Souls, know it, we are no longer baptize by water, WE ARE BAPTIZED BY HOLY SPIRIT. Acts Chapter 10 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Acts 1:5 KJV For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 11:16 KJV Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Galatians 3:27 - For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Acts 22:16 - And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 14:26 KJV But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 15:26 KJV But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: What sins babies committed that they need baptized? the reason, adults think, "baby baptized" saved them?

[@bibleproject]

Have you ever noticed how many streams, rivers, springs, and wells are highlighted in the story of the Bible? It’s a lot! In the beginning of the Bible, God transforms a desolate wilderness into a garden through a stream that waters the ground (Genesis 2:4-6). The clay created by the water becomes the origin place of humans (Genesis 2:7), trees (Genesis 2:9), and animals (Genesis 2:19), creating the ideal heaven-on-earth place called “the garden of delight” (“eden” means “delight” in Hebrew). God provides these waters from “the deep” that he contained and ordered under the dry land in Genesis 1. There is a crucially important part of the Eden story in Genesis 2:10-14, which describes a river that comes out from the garden. After flowing out of Eden, it separates and flows into four regions of the land. This is an image of God’s living water that brought life to Eden, going out to bring that same life to the different parts of the dry land. God’s water of life is what supplies our world with abundance, food, and sustenance. After the humans foolishly rebel and find themselves exiled from the garden, and life outside the garden is not easy (Genesis 3:17-19). But throughout the biblical story, there are many key moments where people are rescued or their needs are met at places of water. People find the surprise of living of water at wells (like Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob in Genesis 21:22-33, 26:18-25, or 29:1-11), springs in the desert (like Hagar in Genesis 16:7 and 21:15-21), or oases in the wilderness (Exodus 15:22-27). All of these stories about the water of life show how God wants to gives his people the gift of his own creative power and life, but their many failures and selfish decisions keep landing them in deserted places. This theme is brought to a crisis point in the story of Israel’s exile, which the prophet Ezekiel depicts as a valley of dry bones that can only be saved through God’s water of life and the power of his Spirit (Ezekiel 36:22-30 and 37:1-14). This is the hope that is carried forward in the story of Jesus, who was himself empowered by God’s Spirit as he was immersed in the waters of the Jordan River (Mark 1:9-13). He then went about Israel offering the life of God’s Kingdom, which he often likened to an abundant garden (Matthew 13). And he even spoke of himself as the one bringing the water of God’s life into the world (John 4:7-14 and 7:37-39). This helps us to understand the fascinating scene of Jesus’ crucifixion when he is stabbed by the spear of a Roman soldier (John 19:34) and both blood and water come flowing out of Jesus. The dying body of Jesus becomes the source of life that will spread into God’s new creation that began with the resurrection of Jesus, in a garden no less! (John 19:41 and 20:11-17). This helps us understand why the images of the tree of life and the water of life are combined in John’s description of the renewed creation (Revelation 22:1-2). They are both images of God’s own life and love made available to his creation. And so the story of the Bible ends the way it begins, but in the new creation, the water of life is emerging “from the throne of God from the lamb” (Revelation 22:1). Jesus is the source and conduit of God’s own life, which he’s made available to a world of thirsty people.

I noticed that several spouses in scripture met by a well. It's how Jacob and Rachel met one another (Genesis 29:1-11). It's how Moses met Zipporah, along with her sisters (Exodus 2:15-21). When Abraham sent his servant Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac, he found Rebekah by a well. Sometime later, as Eliezer and Rebekah travelled to Canaan to meet Isaac, Isaac was travelling from the well of Lahai Roi. (Genesis 24:12-14; 62-67)

In Hebrew, the words for woman form the idea of “water”, so the woman is the water of the house, for good or bad: remember proverbs talking about a woman as a well of blessing or an annoing leak (there are more examples). Going further, if the Word of God is the water, and woman was the responsible one for getting it, the task of every woman is to bring life to her house, Work, church, etc.

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

Jesus thirsted so I might drink from his living waters.

Wonderful insight

[@AndrewCasad]

So much rich baptismal typology in sacred scripture. Thanks for the timely reminder as we prepare to recall our rebirth in baptism this Easter Sunday.

[@christycopley63]

Your videos are amazing and the way you explain God's word and the Bible is very eloquent and understandable. Keep those wonderful videos coming! I hope that you and your families are safe, healthy and have a wonderful Easter!

Thankyou. Amen. Cheers. PUJ. Thankyou Bible Project!!!

Outstanding video! As always, I'm so appreciative how the spirit moves you guys and your staff to present the word so vividly through your artform!

Bible Project thank you for keeping the big picture of Jesus in mind as you intertwined the message of the Good News from Genesis to Revelation.

[@thelongdefeatmusic]

I love this so much! I've literally written an album about this. The spiritual condition of the world represented by an unending drought, and each song tells a piece of the journey back to the source of living water. I love The Bible Projects big picture perspective on these kinds of themes! I've taken a lot of inspiration from you guys (especially loved when you talked about the concept of going through the waters and out to the other side, relating creation, exodus, and baptism...so good!)

[@komaln5012]

Nice ya. You guys are blessed to do these. God Bless You All. God Bless You More. It’s God’s Work through your hands. Keep doing.

Wow this actually so deep, when I read the bible , the part when the soldier thrusts Jesus , it said blood and water came out but I never cared to think about it , I love this video. God Bless you Guys and this channel

[@ETBrothers]

This is so great! I've started reading the Bible from the beginning with the connections between the first two and two last chapters of The Bible in mind, and it's so exciting! Also started writing what each chapter says about me in some way, and God. I also hope to get a more clearer understanding on what baptism is, and if the saving happens because of the baptism, or because I've been saved I get baptised.

[@ETBrothers]

@Payton Storey yeah, I know of that view. The Lutheran view though, is that because Holy Spirit gives faith, and you receive Holy Spirit in baptism, infants should be baptised. And then when it talks about in John 3 that you can only enter Heaven if you're born of water and spirit, and other texts about that baptism saves. And that baptism is important for anyone any age because we've got sin from conception. But those are some things I'm looking to challenge or confirm from my reading 😊

[@ETBrothers]

@Payton Storey thank you! Yeah, I'm sure I'll get a clearer image from searching the Scriptures 😁 God bless you too!

Strangely, one of the things that troubles me during the current pandemic is that the beaches are closed. I find being near water is exhilarating and soothing at the same time. Thankfully, my soul will never experience this kind of frustration thanks to God's work in my life. Your videos and teaching are amazing.

[@narekozo]

Great video, connecting the whole biblical message this way, I never thought off. You have opened a new window for me when reading and studying the bible.

[@DistributistHound]

Great video thank you! Respect from a catholic Jesus I trust in you. In the image, Jesus stands with one hand outstretched in blessing, the other clutching the side wounded by the spear, from which proceed beams of falling light, coloured red and white. An explanation of these colors was given by Kowalska, which she attributed to Jesus in her diary: "The two rays represent blood and water". These colors of the rays refer to the "blood and water'" of the Gospel of John The part of the Roman soldier reminds me of the apparition of Jesuschrist to St. Faustina Kowalska

The Holy Spirit *IS* the Living Water

[@johnpiatt4583]

Good theology Eunice! This water flows through us now (John 7:37-39; 1co 12:13; Isa 44:3; et al).

[@adamgoodword7888]

Thats right!! Just as water refreshes and gives life to our mortal bodies, the Holy Spirit gives life and refreshes our spirits. It's interesting to read in Genesis at creation how the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters. It's as if The Holy Spirit who is the water of life and therefore knows the property of water, was giving approval of the waters that would give life to the planet, to all the beasts and to man. God bless. Praise Jesus. x

@@adamgoodword7888 She brooded as Eagle over Her creation. Strong's Definitions: רָחַף râchaph, raw-khaf'; a primitive root; to brood; by implication, to be relaxed:-flutter, move, shake. Deuteronomy 32:11 (KJV) As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: Luke 13:34 (KJV) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not! Isaiah 30:1 (KJV) Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

[@Каменьпреткновения-к6т]

Foul WINDS, dirty birds, are doctrines and coverings other then the Eagle. Revelation 18:2 (KJV) And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
