The following is a revelation I believe I received from the Holy Spirit. It's not in scripture but I would like some of you to comment and tell me what you think. This is just a thought for personal edification, not for my edification but anyone who receives it and can benefit from it. It is not a teachable doctrine nor is it meant to be.
John 2:1-11King James Version (KJV)2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
[SUP]
2 [/SUP]And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
[SUP]
3 [/SUP]And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
[SUP]
4 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
[SUP]
5 [/SUP]His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
[SUP]
6 [/SUP]And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
[SUP]
7 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
[SUP]
8 [/SUP]And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
[SUP]
9 [/SUP]When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew
the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
[SUP]
10 [/SUP]And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
The Holy Spirit showed me that this was the first miracle of Jesus because it symbolized all he was to accomplish. Jesus took the water that was meant for ritual washing and turned it into wine. Wine here is a representation of the Holy Spirit. Jesus in effect changed the outward purification by works into an inward purification by consuming and becoming one with the Spirit, just as the communion wine is a representation of drinking his blood, becoming one with him.
