But God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each Seed a body of its own.


1 peter 1:3- 25
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead   unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you  who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.   Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.   To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angel desire to look into.   Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;    as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance: but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living; because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.   And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:   knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;   but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ:    who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of times for your sake,    Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:   having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

Jhn 4:14 ASV - but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.
Jhn 6:35 ASV - Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

The word  Water   Greek: hudor
the "water" would symbolize the moral and practical cleansing effected by the removal of defilement by our taking heed to the Word of God in heart, life and habit; cp. Lev. 14, as to the cleansing of the leper.
As to (2), Jesus the Son of God came on His mission by, or through, "water" and blood, namely, at His baptism, when He publicly entered upon His mission and was declared to be the Son of God by the witness of the Father, and at the Cross, when He publicly closed His witness; the Apostle's statement thus counteracts the doctrine of the Gnostics that the Divine Logos united Himself with the Man Jesus at His baptism, and left him at Gethsemane. On the contrary, He who was baptized and He who was crucified was the Son of God throughout in His combined Deity and humanity.
(1) of the Word of God, as in 1Pe 1:23 

(2) of the truth conveyed by baptism, this being the expression, not the medium, the symbol, not the cause, of the believer's identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. So the New Birth is, in one sense, the setting aside of all that the believer was according to the flesh, for it is evident that there must be an entirely new beginning. Some regard the kai, "and," in Jhn 3:5, as epexegetic, == "even," in which case the "water" would be emblematic of the Spirit, as in Jhn 7:38 (cp. Jhn 4:10, 14), but not in 1Jo 5:8, where the Spirit and the "water" are distinguished. "The water of life," Rev 21:6; 22:1, 17, is emblematic of the maintenance of spiritual life in perpetuity.

Importance of Water in the natural
Water makes up 70-75% of the body weight of the average human being. A person can survive for up to 4 weeks without food but no longer than 3 days without water. Water performs many different functions inside the body. It forms the bulk of blood and tissue fluid and is therfore essential for transporting nutrients, hormones and waste products around the body. Water helps control the delicate balances of concentrations within the cells.   Every once in a while I am brought to a place of Awe , I can see the parallel design of Gods creation , how the natural is correlated with the spiritual

.    Mat 4:4 ASV - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.   The word of God says    Hbr 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.   James says Gods word has the ability to save your souls .  Adam lost the sovereignty of Gods power and plans in him because of sin disobedience to Gods command .  And every one that came after Adam because he was there father their blood father they to were condemned also under the same curse as Adam.  All have sin and fell short of the glory of God , that is why we need a savior . Jesus is the remedy for your problems he is the Restoration of your life.    Listen to this scripture and understand  Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  This is the reconciliation God made for you , the first Adam lost his place in Gods kingdom by choosing to disobey and all men after him were condemned ,  But Jesus the second Adam being born also of the flesh and tempted as we the bible says ,     Hbr 4:15 ASV - For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.    Jesus has shown the way unto his father , he came to revel the love and the nature of his father .  He says he is the way and the truth and the LIFE ,  And you know the way to where I am going ,   Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me .   Jesus is the way unto the father, his life his testimony, his words of grace to those that believe.      Rom 8:29 ASV - For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
2Cr 3:18 ASV - But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
2Cr 4:4 ASV - in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them.
Col 1:15 ASV - who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Col 3:10 ASV - and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:    As I have said before the kingdom of God is not meet nor drink your old man your carnal nature , but righteousness peace and Joy .  He has fulfilled his ministry  to you  and I .   Isa 52:10 ASV - Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God  .
 BARE   Heb 
1) to strip, strip off, lay bare, make bare, draw out
a) (Qal)
1) to strip off
2) to strip, lay bare
As to strip the bark from a tree , to strip away a covering

Yes God had a plan and it was a perfect sacrifice for all man kind .   Our Passover Lamb

Isaiah 53
  Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
  He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
  .Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
  - But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
    He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke [was due]?
 - And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
  He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isa 52:14 ASV - Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),



Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

 Rom 5:14 ASV - Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come.


Jhn 2:3 ASV - And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jhn 2:4 ASV - And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Jhn 2:5 ASV - His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
Jhn 2:6 ASV - Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Waterpots in this story is very revealing metaphorically I see man kind as the waterpot, made of the earth ,   a vessel .  And Jesus is requested to provide wine by supernatural means,    by his mothers request and by faith she tells the servants standing there to do what ever he says . Jesus looks at the vessels or pots which has another wine or( blood )  .  Jesus tells them to fill the pots with water ( the water being the washing water of the word)  And it says they filled them to the brim ,  when they returned with them. Jesus said take some to the ruler of the feast .  The best for last !    The water of Gods word is transformed in us the cleansing power of the blood of the lamb as we consume this word of God it will transform us into his image . We are the pots,  the water is the word of God in us,  and the wine is the blood of Jesus ,   the passover lamb for us .  Luk 5:38 ASV - But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.  You must be born again

Jhn 2:7 ASV - Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
Jhn 2:8 ASV - And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it.
Jhn 2:9 ASV - And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,
Jhn 2:10 ASV - and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.

The world is reeling as a drunken man , with out purpose and without feeling.  Who is the prince of this world . He told Jesus on the mountain this world was given to me ,  do you know how he obtained this earth .   Adam ! he lost it through disobedience to Gods commands.  And said I can give it to whom ever I want , if we read revelations we can see who he gives it to in the end   Remember the devil is a liar and the father of lies .  Jesus conquered hell and death and made an open show   Col 2:15 ASV - having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
    
Luk 4:6 ASV - And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.   Love not the world nor things therof, but seek ye first the kingdom of God .
1Cr 15:22 ASV - For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Cr 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.  Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.    The word says that Jesus will come again as a thief in the night ,  he said no man knows the hour or the day .  So where do we stand with this word how is this word making a home in us .  It is the word where Jesus said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood . Being transformed by the renewing of your mind,  and this word is renewing our mind as we walk in his word it renews us daily .  The blood is his very life the life he lived upon this earth, it was your example . For the life is in the blood ,  he was the express image of God he said you see me you see the father . The power the authority and character , nature of his father,  he came in his fathers name.
And we come in Jesus name , the power and the nature the character of who Jesus is . It not just saying the name , its walking in that name .  Christ in you the hope of glory .
Col 2:6 ASV - As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,  The way the truth and the life
Rom 6:4 ASV - We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
In the end The father is coming for the fruit of Christ in us ,  Luk 8:14 ASV - And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.      Let us press on unto perfection putting on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 13:14 ASV - But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.    We must get on our cross and put to death this old man of the flesh the carnal nature , and put on the nature of the Lord Jesus.

Jer 42:3 ASV - that Jehovah thy God may show us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do.
