Two rivers

[mfblume]

The Jordan river flows down toward the Dead Sea. The ark of the covenant cut it off from the town called ADAM (think of the first man) allowing Israel to enter the Promised land. We cannot get into the kingdom without God having cut off the dying flow of humanity from Adam's sin. That humanity ends up in death.

But Ezekiel saw a river of Life from the Temple, which is translated into God and the Lamb in Revelation 21-22. Same river. And that river also went to the Dead Sea (See Ezek 47). But it resurrected the Dead Sea and men fished for fish... souls of men.

Two rivers!

Same destination.

But two totally different outcomes!

Jos 3:15-16 KJV And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) (16) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, [DEAD SEA] failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.


Eze 47:1 KJV Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Eze 47:8 KJV Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea [DEAD SEA] : which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

Beautiful thought... and I never realized the name of the town was Adam that was cut off from the river.

Interesting.

The ark of the covenant stopped the Jordan flowing to the Dead Sea.

The ark was a pattern after God's throne. Isaiah 6 shows the throne in a vision with seraphims over above it. Just like the ark with the cherubims over the mercyseat.

As Jesus the LAMB went to the throne in Revelation 5, and it became the throne of GOD AND THE LAMB, it flowed froth the river of Life in rev 22. So, the ark shows that God's throne stopped the Jordan. But the same throne of God STARTED the river of life, as the river flowed from the throne of God and the Lamb in Rev 22:1.

Show me where Millennium is mentioned in Hebrews 7. These are unbiblical connections dispensationalists add to the Word that are not found in the Word. Always claims with no scriptural backing. Let the bible interpret itself and its' ONE EVENT. Show us where the BIBLE says they're two. THE BIBLE....

[Sean]

The changed Law of Hebrews 7 under Christ is RIGHT NOW and leading right into the future Millennial Reign of Christ, described in Ezekiel....


You tried to say the Law(Joshua) and the Changed Law of Christ(Ezekiel) are the same thing, therefore COMBINING the 2 covenants in their contexts!

[Sean]

Not cool to do that Mike....Heb 6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
