    Ze.14:8 (2 of 2)

    "The Living Waters"

    The Spirit invests significance in the four cardinal directions, North, South East West which is not merely across but also up and down. Across gives us the outreach of the everlasting gospel but up and down also reveal where the living water shall go up or down. We have the four river heads in the context of the Garden of Eden. "And the fourth river is Euphrates."(Ge.2:14)

    In the Book of the Revelation when the sixth angel sounds the trumpet we have this command,"Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates./And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men." (Re.9:14-15). They have been prepared for a specific purpose. It is hour of judgment. For this reason we have this expression 'Foundations' which are invisible to which Hannah alludes in her song of praise. "For the pillars of the earth are theLord's, and he hath set the world upon them." (1 Sa.2:8)

    God demands answer from Job, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding./Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?/Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;" ( Job 38:4-6)

    Because of this when the red dragon would hurt the left behind church God had prepared already a remedy. "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood./And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth."(Re.12:15-16)

    The living water carry the redeemed to the throne of God while the second group is sent to the hinter sea which is Abaddon."nd they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, -Apollyon (Re.9:11)
