Meaning of WATER

In the East it is one of the most important budgets in life. Water in Holy Scripture means happiness and security (Ez. 47:1).



In the East it is one of the most important budgets in life. Water in Holy Scripture means happiness and security (Ez. 47:1). The Israelite addresses God as the fountain of living water (Jer. 17:13), in whose nearness the godly can live (Ps. 1:3; Jer. 17:8); Jesus also calls himself living water (John 4:10, 13ff.); Whoever believes in Him will also become a source of life (Jn. 7:37f).

Water being poured or running past are symbols of the vanity of life and its expiration (Ps. 22:15; 2 Sam. 14:14). The sinful man swallows his sins as one drinks water (Jb. 15:16).

In Hebrew, the word "water" is always used in the plural ("mayim"). The waters covered the earth in the primitive chaos (Gen. 1:2), and then, when God separated them, the upper or heavenly waters remained (Gen. 1:7; 7:10; Ps. 148:4) and the inferior ones (Gen. 1:6).

Water also appears in Scripture in the multiple forms it exists on earth:
the water of the sea (Is. 11:9; Am. 5:8),
of a river (Josh. 3:8),
from a pond or a well (John 4:7),
rainwater or snow (Jb. 24:19),

from a fountain (James 3:11); fresh water is called living or running water (Gen. 26:19; Lev. 14:5).
The waters of the Flood are notable (Gen. 7:7; Is. 54:9; 1 Pet. 3:20; 2 Pet. 3:6).

In Palestine, as in Antiquity, water was of great value; Thus, each one took care to have his own water, and foreigners and the poor had to buy it (Num. 20:19; 2 Kings 19:24; Is. 55:1; Lam. 5:4; Pr. 5 :15; 9:17).

The water in the fountains was free. Water was used to irrigate the land (Ez. 17:7; Ps. 1:3; 65:10; 104:10). As well as for religious hygienic lavatories.

Some Hebrew expressions are difficult to translate into Spanish, but they can be interpreted like this:
"head water" means sleeping water;
"water from the knees" means urine (Isa. 36:12).
In a figurative sense, a mortal danger is called water (Ps. 18:17; 32:6; Jb. 27:20); Discouragement is also called waters (Jer. 7:5).

Water is a symbol of spiritual cleansing, but it can never regenerate on its own. The Hebrews used it in ablutions, which were quite frequent. The Qumram sect performed these ablutions several times a day, strictly adhering to the ritual prescriptions of the Law of Moses.

John the Baptist practiced baptism for the forgiveness of sins, a precursor to Christian baptism, which is believer's baptism and follows faith, because water cannot wash away sins if there is no prior repentance.



Blessed be His name! He never gives up the search until the chosen are sought out successfully. They are not people sought today and cast away tomorrow.

Treasures in the Mud: The Grace of Being Searched

Charles H. Spurgeon
The surpassing grace of God is seen very clearly in that we were not only sought, but we were also sought out. People seek for something that is lost upon the floor of the house, but in such a case there is only seeking, not seeking out. The loss is more perplexing and the search more persevering when something is sought out.
What can you do to inspire others to defend the truth with both courage and love?

Fighting for the Truth and Love

John MacArthur
In a world where truth is under attack, few rise to defend it. But let's remember that our apathy won't be an excuse before Christ. In Revelation, we see how He rebuked the churches that tolerated falsehood. Let's do the same, bravely defend the truth.
If you find your conscience vanishing, you must realize the seriousness of your condition and repent; beseech God for a clear, functioning conscience

Holy Hatred of Sin

John MacArthur
We desperately need to recover a holy hatred of sin. We need to do this corporately as a church, but we also need to do it individually as believers. Sin is surely not a pleasant subject to study or preach on, but it is necessary.
Our task is to do what the psalmist David did: He didn’t worry about “great matters” or things “too profound” for him.

Calm And Quiet

David Jeremiah
According to medical researchers at Duke University, there is a “vicious cycle” involving insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It’s sort of a “which came first: the chicken or the egg?” scenario.
When we learn His purposes and make them our prayers, we are giving Him the opportunity to act.

The Rope of Prayer

David Jeremiah
Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God’s help.
