The fountain of Living waters has always
symbolized the Holy Spirit.
1John 7 :37. In the last day, that great day of
the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him
come to me, and drink. 38. He that believes on me, as the scripture has
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39. (But this
spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.)
John 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus
therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it
was about the sixth hour. 7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw
water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were
gone away to the city to buy meat.) 9 Then said the woman of Samaria to
him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman
of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Jesus
answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is
that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him,
and he
would have given you living water. 11 The woman said to him, Sir, you
have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have
you that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, which
gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water
shall thirst again: 14 But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman
said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come
here to draw. 16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come
here. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to
her, You have well said, I have no husband: 18 For you have had five
husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you
truly. 19 The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus said to her,
Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship you
know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship
him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth. 25 The woman said to him, I know that Messiah
comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things. 26 Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.
Revelation 22 1. And he showed me
a pure river
of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God
and of the Lamb. 17. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him
that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever
will, let him take the water of life freely.
Isaiah 44 3. For I will pour water upon him that
is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon
thy seed, and my blessing upon your offspring:
Isaiah 12 2. Behold, God is my salvation; I will
trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my
song; he also is become my salvation. 3. Therefore with joy shall ye
draw water out of the wells of salvation. 4. And in that day shall ye
say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the
people, make mention that his name is exalted. 5. Sing unto the Lord;
for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. 6.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of
Israel in the midst of thee.
Isaiah 49 6. And he said, It is a light
thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and
to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to
the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 7.
Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him
whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of
rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because
of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall
choose you. 8. Thus says the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard
you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve
you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth,
to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; 9. That you may say to the
prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, show yourselves. They
shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10. They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun
strike them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the
springs of water shall he guide them
Jeremiah 2 11. Has a nation changed their gods,
which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that
which does not profit. 12. Be astonished, O you heavens, at this, and be
horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says the Lord. 13. For my people
have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living
waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no
water.
Joel 3 17. So shall you know that I am the Lord
your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be
holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. 18. And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new
wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah
shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of
the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Revelation 7 15. Therefore are they before the
throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that
sits on the throne shall dwell among them. 16. They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor
any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall
feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
