The Waters Of Salvation
How should the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) respond to adverse circumstances?
A great evil came upon the Earth, when the DNA of the human race was polluted by the intermarriage of angels with human women, and their offspring filled the earth with wickedness (Genesis 6:1-5). The only way for the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) to end this wickedness, was to destroy every living thing on the face of the Earth (Genesis 6:6-7). Yet there remained one man and his family, who still loved the Father of Truth, and did not have any of the polluted DNA in their bodies (Genesis 6:8-10). So the Father of Truth warned Noah, that He was going to destroy everything, that possessed this corrupted DNA, off the face of the Earth, to put an end to this wickedness (Genesis 6:11-13). Then the Father of Truth instructed Noah to build an enormous box (Ark) with a ventilation system, to preserve some of every species, that did not possess any corrupted DNA (Genesis 6:14-16). Then the Father of Truth revealed, that He was going to use a flood of water, to bring about the destruction of the everything with this corrupted DNA (Genesis 6:17). However, the family of Noah would be protected from this destruction, by entering into the Ark, as part of a covenant that the Father of Truth would provide (Genesis 6:18-21). So Noah and his family came into covenant with the Father of Truth, by doing what He commanded (Genesis 6:22).
When the time of the destruction of the wicked came near, then Noah, his family, and specimens of every species, that did not possess any of the corrupted DNA, went into the Ark (Genesis 7:1-9). As soon as Noah had everyone, and everything, safely in the Ark, then the Father of Truth started The Flood, and protected everything in the Ark (Genesis 7:10-16). Then the same waters, that destroyed everything on Earth with the corrupted DNA, lifted the Ark above the destruction (Genesis 7:17-24).
After The Flood was over, and the ground was dry, Noah and all that were with him in the Ark, came out as the only creatures on Earth (Genesis 8:1-19). Noah became owner of the entire Earth, because the same waters that destroyed the wicked, and those with corrupted DNA, were the same waters, that saved the human race through the faith of Noah (Hebrews 11:7). Noah and those with him were saved from the wicked by the waters of The Flood (1 Peter 3:20). The same flood that brought about the salvation of the righteous, also brought about the destruction of their enemies (2 Peter 2:5). The Flood carried the waters of salvation.
Centuries later, after the Children of Israel were enslaved in Egypt, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, commanded, that all of the newborn Hebrew boys be cast in to the Nile River (Exodus 1:15-22). Yet his own daughter drew one of the Hebrew boys, that his parents had put in a box (ark), out of the Nile River, named him "Moses", and raised him in the house of Pharaoh (Exodus 2:1-10). After Moses grew up, the Father of Truth then began bringing about the deliverance of the Children of Israel, by turning the Nile River into blood, as the first plague on Egypt (Exodus 7:15-25). So the same Nile River that brought about the salvation of the righteous, also brought about the destruction of their enemies (Acts 7:34-36). The Nile River carried the waters of salvation.
After the Egyptians let the Children of Israel go, the Father of Truth had the Children of Israel camp in a place, that trapped them between the wilderness and the Red Sea, so He could draw the Egyptians out after them (Exodus 14:1-4). So the Egyptians pursued them, until they were trapped between the Egyptians and the Red Sea (Exodus 14:5-9). When the Children of Israel became afraid, Moses told them to not be afraid, because this was going to bring about their salvation (Exodus 14:10-14). Then the Father of Truth told Moses what to do next, so He could to save the Children of Israel from the Egyptians (Exodus 14:15-18). So the Father of Truth divided the Red Sea, and held back the Egyptians, while the Children of Israel escaped through the path of dry land, that had been made between the walls of water (Exodus 14:19-22). Afterwards, the Father of Truth allowed the Egyptians to pursue the Children of Truth in the the midst of the Red Sea, and then destroyed their ability to escape (Exodus 14:23-25). When the last of the Children of Israel was safely on the other side of the Red Sea, then the Father of Truth brought down the walls of water upon the Egyptians, and destroyed all of them (Exodus 14:26-29). The same Red Sea that brought about the salvation of the righteous, also brought about the destruction of their enemies (Exodus 14:30). The Red Sea carried the waters of salvation.
When it was time for the Children of Israel to enter the Promised Land, then the Father of Truth promised to hold back the waters of the Jordan River, to let them know, that He would be with them against their enemies (Joshua 3:9-14). The Jordan River had been an impenetrable defense for their enemies, because it was overflowing its banks, but it flooded the cities upstream of Jericho, as the Children of Israel marched into the Promised Land, over the dry bed of the Jordan River (Joshua 3:15-17). After they passed over the dry bed of the Jordan River, then the Jordan River returned to overflowing its banks, becoming an impenetrable barrier, that trapped their enemies on the same side of the Jordan River as the Children of Israel (Joshua 4:17-18). So the Children of Israel built a monument of stones from the bed of the Jordan River, so that all the Earth might know, that the Father of Truth would bring about their salvation (Joshua 4:19-24). The same Jordan River that brought about the salvation of the righteous, also brought about the destruction of their enemies (Joshua 5:1). The Jordan River carried the waters of salvation.
After the Children of Israel were settled in the Promised Land, then the Father of Truth commanded Barak to go near to Mount Tabor, so He could draw Sisera and his army to the Kishon River (Judges 4:5-7). So Barak gathered an army at Kedesh, then marched along side the Kishon River, until his army was at Mount Tabor (Judges 4:10-12). When Sisera learned that Barak was at Mount Tabor, he lead his army of nine hundred iron chariots, and thousands of men, along Kishon River to trap the army of Barak on Mount Tabor (Judges 4:12-13). While Sisera was still traveling along side the Kishon River, Barak and his army came down from Mount Tabor to attack them, while the Father of Truth acted to give them complete victory (Judges 4:14-16). The same Kishon River that brought about the salvation of the righteous, also brought about the destruction of their enemies (Judges 5:11-21). The Kishon River carried the waters of salvation.
The pattern is the same in all of these cases. The Flood, the Nile River, the Red Sea, the Jordan River, and the Kishon River, all were all emblems of destruction or defeat for the righteous at first. Yet, the Father of Truth used each one of those in a way, that was beyond the schemes of man, to bring about His own will. The very circumstances, that their enemies thought would bring death to the righteous, were His means of salvation. The same circumstances, that brought about the salvation of the righteous, also brought about the destruction of their enemies. Those circumstances carried the waters of salvation.
This pattern is not just for those special cases, but is a pattern that continues to this day. For example, a combination of medications, put my daughter Savannah in a coma, that no one had ever came out of alive. This deadly combination of medications, that the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) had intended to kill her, destroyed every deadly bacteria in her body. Then the Father of Truth raised her up, after ten days of being as good as dead. The very circumstances, that the Father of Lies had thought would bring her death, were the means of the Father of Truth to bring about the salvation of her health. The same circumstances, that brought about the salvation of Savannah, also brought about the destruction of her enemies. Those circumstances carried the waters of salvation.
All of this was foreshadowed by the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the grand finale of the Greatest Play Ever. The Prophet of Truth had said, that the waters of salvation were coming to the Jewish people, when the Holy One of Israel would stand in their midst (Isaiah 12). For this reason, on the great and notable day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the eighth day, people would sing about the waters of salvation, and pour out water on the steps of the Temple.
So the Man of Truth went up to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, and stood in their midst to teach them (John 7:2-14). Then on the great and notable day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the eighth day, the Man of Truth proclaimed, that he was the Holy One of Israel, who carried the waters of salvation (John 7:37-40).
Later, the Man of Truth faced the most adverse circumstances, that any person has ever faced (Luke 22:41-44).
His death on the cross looked like his certain defeat to his enemies (Matthew 27:39-50). However, the Father of Truth raised him from the dead on the third day to bring salvation (Acts 4:10-12). His victory over the grave, brought destruction to the Father of Lies (Hebrews 2:14-15).
The very circumstances, that the Father of Lies had thought would bring him defeat, were the means of the Father of Truth to bring about salvation (1 Corinthians 2:7-9). The same cross that brought about the salvation of the Man of Truth, also brought about the destruction of his enemies (Colossians 2:13-15). His death on the cross carried the waters of salvation!
It is no different with the Children of Truth. What their enemies mean for evil, the Father of Truth will turn for their good, as His means of salvation (Genesis 50:20). The Father of Truth causes even the most adverse of circumstances to work together for their benefit (Romans 8:28). The same circumstances, that bring about their salvation, will also bring about the destruction of their enemies (2 Corinthians 2:14-16). Those adverse circumstances carry the waters of salvation!
So the Children of Truth should never stop rejoicing in adverse circumstances, for the Father of Truth will use every adverse circumstance to bring them to victory, when they draw near to Him in thanksgiving and prayer (Philippians 4:4-7). When they draw near to Him by walking in obedience to Him, then He will draw near to them in their most adverse of circumstances, causing the very thing, that was intended for their destruction, to become the means of their salvation (James 4:6-10). When they humble themselves, by looking to Him, to take care of them in their adverse circumstances, then He will bring about their victory over the Father of Lies (1 Peter 5:6-10). When they have confidence in the Father of Truth, that leads them to obey His commandments, then He will turn their most adverse of circumstances into victory through the Man of Truth (1 John 5:3-5). The Father of Truth carries the waters of salvation!
This why the Father of Truth showed Himself strong on my behalf, by using the very circumstances, that were intended to kill Savannah, to bring about the salvation of her health. I had learned, that the fastest way to victory, was to pursue Him, before a crisis ever occurs. Today is the day, for the Children of Truth to prepare for adverse circumstances, just like a champion athlete trains in their sport, long before entering the arena, or a soldier prepares for war, long before the battle begins.
The waters of salvation are found, by coming into the House of Truth. No one can come into the House of Truth, where the Father of Truth pours out the waters of salvation, except through the Man of Truth (John 14:6). People can only come into the House of Truth, by surrendering control of everything to the Man of Truth, because they believe that His Father raised him from the dead, so they can experience the waters of salvation (Romans 10:9-10). Today is the day, to come into the House of Truth, and begin to drink the waters of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2)!
Come into the House of Truth!
