The River Will Flow
How can people never thirst again?
In the 1980's, one of the most popular Christian bands was White Heart. The truth is, that I was never much of a White Heart fan, until their 1989 album "Freedom" was released. I had never heard any of the songs from this album on the radio, but I felt lead by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) to buy it.
It turned out to be one of the best albums that I have ever bought. It was not just because of the radical departure in style that the band took from their previous albums, but also because of the depth of the lyrics. However, it was more than just great music accompanied by great lyrics. The Spirit of Truth was all over this album. Many of the songs had a prophetic quality about them.
One of the band members said in the liner notes, that this was the album that the band had always wanted to make. It was their last album that fulfilled their contractual agreement with Sparrow Records. So the band apparently decided to follow the leading of the Spirit of Truth, and not be hindered by the concerns of the executives at their label. The result was breath taking.
One of those deep and prophetic songs that made this album stand out was, "The River Will Flow". For those who have never heard this song, here are the lyrics:
There inside my dream
I heard the river roar
I stumbled through the darkened mist
But I could not find the shore
Then a voice within the mist
Said, "tell me what do you seek?"
I said, "I have a mighty thirst
But I feel so tired and weak"
He said, "I am the river
Full of power and truth
You've been looking outside yourself
When it's there inside of you"
Oh-oh-oh
And the river will flow
The river will flow
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
Oh, and the river is love
The river is peace
And the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe
So put your hand in mine
Oh, put your hand in mine
And let us all go down
And kneel by the river's side
We'll cry our tears of joy
Cry our tears of pain
We'll let them fall down from our eyes
To be washed in the sacred stream
Even the secret tears
Buried in our memories
Let them all be swept away
To the depths of the endless sea
Oh-oh-oh
And the river will flow
The river will flow
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
Ooh, the river is love
The river is peace
And the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe
Let it flow on down
Come on let it flow down
Gotta let it flow, my Lord
Streams of mercy flowing down
Flow, the river will flow
(Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow)
Through all of the times of your life
The river will flow
And the river is love
The river is peace
Ooh, and the river will flow through the hearts
Of those who believe
Gonna let it flow, now, now
Ooh, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I can feel it, feel it, feel Your streams
Oh Lord
Ooh!
Oh the mercy flowing down
The river will flow
Ooh, let Your love flow down
Ooh, it is Your love flowing down
Falling down
You can also hear it here .
This song has amazing depth because it speaks about what the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has done through the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), is doing through the Man of Truth, and will do through the Man of Truth.
The River will flow.
The eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot aka the Feast of Booths) marked the end of the Feasts of Truth each year (Leviticus 23:34-37). The eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles was the last high Sabbath of the year (Leviticus 23:39).
It was the grand finale of the Greatest Play Ever.
This day was the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles that stood out from all other days.
The River will flow.
The Father of Truth had promised the day would come, when His anger at sin would be turned away, and that the waters of salvation would be poured out (Isaiah 12:1-3). So on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, pots of water were poured out on the steps of the Temple, to remind everyone of this promise.
The Man of Truth went to the Feast of Tabernacles (John 7:2-10). On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the Great Day of the feast, the Man of Truth promised that the Spirit of Truth would flow like a river out of those, who come into the House of Truth (John 7:37-39).
The Spirit of Truth is the River that the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) seek (Luke 11:10-13).
The River will flow.
The River is full of power (Acts 1:8). The River is full of truth (1 John 5:6).
The Children of Truth do not need to be looking outside of themselves for the River, for the River is inside of them (Romans 8:9).
The River will flow through the Children of Truth all the times of their lives (John 14:16-17).
The River is peace (John 14:26-27). The River is love (Galatians 5:22).
The River will flow through the hearts of those who believe (Ephesians 1:12-14).
The River will flow.
Over the first seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, seventy bullocks, one per ethnic group, were offered for each of the seventy root ethnic groups, that all people came from (Numbers 29:12-32). On the eighth day, only one bullock was offered for all people (Numbers 29:35-36).
This day was the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles that stood out from all other days.
The River will flow.
The River carries the blood of the Man of Truth to bring redemption (Hebrews 9:12-14). Just as the blood of only one bull flowed down to bring mercy to all people on the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, so also the blood of the Man of Truth flowed down on the cross to bring mercy upon all people on the Great Day of his sacrifice (Revelation 5:9).
Streams of mercy were flowing down (1 Peter 1:2-4). His mercy is still flowing down (1 Peter 2:10).
The River will flow.
Those waters of salvation that were poured out on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles came from the mikvot (baptismals) that were used to make people clean. This cleansing allowed them could enter into the prescence of the Spirit of Truth, who lived in the Temple. So, the waters of salvation were poured out to show that people would be cleaned from sin, and brought into the prescence of the Spirit of Truth.
This day was the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles that stood out from all other days.
The River will flow.
John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikveh Man) baptized people in the river, when they repented of their sins (Mark 1:4-5). He then told everyone, that the Man of Truth would baptize people in the River (Mark 1:6-8).
On the Great Day of the resurrection of the Man of Truth, the River began to flow inside of those who believed, since the Man of Truth had cleansed them of their sin (John 20:20-22).
Forty days later, the Man of Truth told them to wait to be baptized in River (Acts 1:3-5).
Those who waited, heard the River roar (Acts 2:2). Then they were baptized in the River (Acts 2:3-4).
On the Great Day of the Spirit of Truth, the River began to flow in power out of those who believed (Acts 2:16-18).
The River will flow.
On the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, there was an explosion of joy over the peace and prosperity brought by the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law).
This day was the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles that stood out from all other days.
The River will flow.
When the Saints go marching in, the Grapes of Wrath are crushed, and the Final Harvest is over, then the River will flow stronger than it ever has. It will be the Great Day when the Man of Truth begins to reign over the Earth.
Just like the waters of salvation flowed down the steps of the Temple on the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, so also will a river of life flow from the steps of the Temple on the Great Day, when the Man of Truth begins his reign over the Earth.
A tree lined river will flow out of from the East side of the Temple (Ezekiel 47:1-7). This river will bring life to every place it flows, like the River (Ezekiel 47:8-12). This river will flow out of Jerusalem into the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea (Zechariah 14:8).
The River will flow.
All of the descendants of Israel (Ya'acov aka Jacob) will flow into the land of Israel from all of the nations, like a mighty river (Isaiah 60:4-5).
Peace will flow out of Jerusalem like a river, and the nations will come into Jerusalem like a stream (Isaiah 66:12-13). The Law of Truth will go out of Jerusalem like a mighty river, that brings peace and prosperity to the whole Earth (Micah 4:1-4).
People of all nations will stream into Jerusalem, like a mighty river (Isaiah 2:2-4). All nations will come to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles (Zechariah 14:16-19).
The River will give light to all nations (Isaiah 60:1-3). The River will cover the Earth (Habakkuk 2:14).
Those who desire righteousness, will no longer have a mighty thirst (Matthew 5:3-6).
The River will flow.
The Children of Truth will have new bodies with flesh and bones, like that of the Man of Truth (Luke 24:36-39). Their blood will not flow through their new bodies to give them life (1 Corinthians 15:47-50).
The River will flow though their new bodies to give them life (1 Corinthians 15:42-46).
The Children of Truth will no longer feel tired and weak (Isaiah 40:30-31).
The River will flow.
The eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles ended living in temporary booths.
This day was the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles that stood out from all other days.
The River will flow.
In like manner, when the reign of the Man of Truth over this Earth comes to an end after a thousand years, then the Great Day will come, that ends living in this temporary universe (Revelation 20:7-11).
This temporary universe will be put away like a sukkah (booth), when the Feast of Tabernacles has came to an end on the Great Day (Hebrews 1:10-12).
The River flowed to create this temporary universe that we live in (Genesis 1:1-2). The River will flow to create a new permanent universe that we will live in forever (Isaiah 66:22).
The River will flow to destroy this temporary universe, and create a permanent universe, where only the righteous live (2 Peter 3:10-13).
The River will flow to cause this temporary universe to pass away, and the Children of Truth to live in a permanent tabernacle with the Father of Truth (Revelation 21:1-3). In that eternal universe, the river of life will flow from the throne of the Father of Truth and His Son, with the tree of life lining the shores of the river (Revelation 22:1-2).
The River will flow.
We will cry our tears of joy, and our tears of pain, so they can be washed in the Sacred Stream, when the Father of Truth wipes them away (Revelation 21:4).
The River will flow to take away from the Children of Truth the memories of this temporary universe (Isaiah 65:17). Even our secret tears, buried in our memories, will be swept away (Isaiah 65:16-19). Like our sins, they will all be swept away to the depths of the endless sea (Micah 7:19).
The River will flow.
Perhaps, there inside your dream, you have heard the River roar (Ezekiel 43:2-4).
You may have stumbled through the darkened mist, but you could not find the shore (Isaiah 59:9-11).
There is a voice within the mist, asking what you seek (Hebrews 10:15-17).
The River will flow.
So put your hand in mine. Let us all go down, and kneel at the River side (John 4:23-24).
The River is inviting you to come into the House of Truth (Revelation 22:17).
The Man of Truth gives living water to everyone, who asks him for it (John 4:10). Those who ask him for this living water will never thirst again, for the River will flow, and give them eternal life (John 4:13-14). Those, who come into the House of Truth, will never thirst again (John 6:35).
The River will flow.
The love of the Father of Truth is flowing down for those, who have not yet come into the House of Truth (Romans 5:8). The love of the Father of Truth is flowing down upon those, who come into the House of Truth (1 John 3:1-2).
All you have to do is commit to obeying the Man of Truth, because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). The River will flow (1 John 3:23-24).
Come into the House of Truth!

Ooh, it is Your love flowing down
Falling down
