God is Thought. Thought is the source of all power; only Thought creates. Angels are the fruit of God’s Thoughts; you were originally the fruit of God’s Thoughts, but now you are God’s defiled (lower case) thoughts (foul fruit). The brightness (Glory) of our revelations (our corrected now Holy Thoughts of God) depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another like the rungs (stairs) of a Jacob’s ladder ascending into the mind of Christ. Angels are the Thoughts of God created as Spirits, communicated as Words. You and I each are a corrupted thought (a spirit) of God, a criminal angel temporarily confined (imprisoned) in a human body. We all are fallen angels, fallen, mingled defiled thoughts, independently thinking spirits, members of the (lower case) spirit of God, but a willing few of us are being purged purified and restored, reinstated, repaired (healed) back into Heaven and Fellowship with Father God.

 

EVERY BELIEVER’S FUTURE

(John 7:37-39) In the last day, that great day of the feast [of tabernacles (the ingathering of the fruit)], Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me [i.e., to the Word of God: John 1:14], and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly [Gk: fig. heart] [mind] shall flow rivers of living water [“unlimited power” Dake’s]. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

1.    (John 14:12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works [Gk: deeds] that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

 

THE BEGINNING OF MIRACLES

THAT EVERY BELIEVER WILL FIRST EXPERIENCE

(John 2:1,2) And the third day [“one day is with the Lord as a thousand years” 2 Pet 3:8] [1] there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples [that’s us], to the marriage [a melding together, Dict: to blend; merge, unite].

1.    (Hos 6:1,2) Come, and let us [i.e., that’s us] return [Heb: bring (again, back, home again), come again (back), go again (back, home), restore, (cause to, make to) return, back, back again] unto the LORD: for he hath torn [away our holiness, separated us from our holiness], and he will heal us [give us back our holiness]; he hath smitten [Heb: wounded (us)], and he will bind us up. After two days [“one day is with the Lord as a thousand years” 2 Pet 3:8] will he revive us [Heb: quicken, recover, repair, restore (to life)]: in the third day he will raise us up [elevate us], and we shall live [Heb: quicken, recover, repair, restore (to life)] in his sight.

a.     Commentary: you cannot go back to some place that you have never been.

2.    (Luke 15:32) It was meet [Gk: necessary (as binding)] that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother [commonly identified as the prodigal (Dict: exceedingly or recklessly wasteful) son, but correctly identified as a fallen angel (one of the sons of God)] was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

3.    (Eccl 12:7) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

a.     (Psa 104:4) [God] Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

b.    (Heb 1:7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

 

A WHILE AFTER THE MARRIAGE BANQUET BEGAN

(John 2:3-5) And [later in the banquet] when they wanted [Gk: lacked, suffered need] wine [symbolic of Old Testament Theology, and the lack of a “personalized” Holy Spirit; essentially, having knowledge but no revelations, i.e., “knowing good and evil” (Gen 3:5) but not discerning (understanding) the difference], the of mother Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine [1]. Jesus saith unto her, Woman [Mary = Heb: rebellious /// bitterness] [originally, Mary was a generic representative of all unsaved humanity; now she had become “imputed for righteousness” (saved) and birthed Jesus, as also shall we do in type (Judg 7:19,20; Rom 8:18; 2 Thes 1:7-12)], what have I to do with thee? mine hour [the hour of my death] is not yet come [2]. His mother saith unto the servants [us, (excellent advice)], Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

1.    wine = Gk: effervesce; wine (as fermented); by implic. intoxication: banqueting.

a.     effervescent = Dict: 1. To rise and come out in bubbles, as gas in a liquid. 2. To be lively and high-spirited; vivavious.

b.    vivacious = Dict: 1. Full of life and animation; spirited; lively. 2. (obsolete) Long-lived or hard to kill or destroy.

2.    (John 16:7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient [Gk: be good, be profitable] for you that I go away [fig. die]: for if I go not away, the Comforter [Gk: intercessor: advocate] [the Holy Spirit] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you [the Holy Spirit, i.e., the wine].

(John 2:6-8) And there were set there six [a symbolic number of man] waterpots [hollowed out] of stone [alluding to people as hard stones gradually softening and ultimately losing their hard hearts], after the manner of [i.e., used for] the purifying [Gk: a washing off, ceremonial cleansing] [remaking holy] [1] of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece [2]. Jesus saith unto them [the saved servants (us)], Fill the waterpots with water [i.e., fill the people with the word (logos) of God]. And they filled them up to the brim [“Drink ye all of it” Matt 26:27,28, spoken by Jesus Christ referring to the cup of wine, i.e., “New Testament” Theology]. And he saith unto them, Draw out now [take action, do something, read and speak] [3], and bear [Gk: carry (support)] unto the [unsaved] governor [Gk: ruler] of the feast. And they bare it [Dict: to open to view, uncover] [as we bare (syn: expose, show, uncover, disclose, reveal; expound, evangelize, explain, teach, preach) the Bible to others].

1.    (Eph 5:26)  That he might sanctify [Gk: make holy] and cleanse it [the church (the chosen people)] with the washing [Gk: bath (fig. baptism)] [make whelmed (fully wet)] of water [the logos] by the word [the rhema, the meaning (fruit, revelations) of the word of God conveyed by the Holy Spirit],

2.    Commentary: “six waterpots of stone… containing two or three firkins apiece” = further symbolizes men and women. One firkin weighs 60 pounds, so two firkins weighs 120 pounds which is about the weight of an average woman, and three firkins weighs 180 pounds which is about the weight of an average man.

3.    (James 1:22) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving [Gk: deluding] your own selves.

(John 2:9-11)  When the [unsaved generic] ruler of the feast had tasted the water [logos – knowledge, the Bible] that was made wine [rhema - revelations], and knew not [from] whence it was: (but the [saved] servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast [who got saved as evidenced by his revelation] called the bridegroom [now Jesus Christ in type], And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine [the seed, the Old Testament]; and when men have well drunk [Gk: become drunken] [not sober minded: 1 Pet 5:8], then that which is worse [the false doctrines of men creep in]: but thou hast kept the good wine [the fruit, the New Testament] until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana [Heb: reediness] of Galilee [Gk: the heathen circle], and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples [Gk: learners, pupils] believed on him.
