Water to wine

In the story of the marriage in Cana of Galillee, Jesus illustrates to us a change in order. A change in the order of religion. Let's get started. First off, we are drawing these words from the book of John, chapter 2. We are starting with verse 1 and continuing to the 10th verse. This is the first recording of miracles Jesus did. ~[Joh 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: vs2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. vs:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. vs:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. vs:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
vs:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. vs:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
vs:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. vs:9 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, vs:10 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.]~Notice there are 6 waterpots. 6 being the number of man. The marriage is symbolic of the marriage of the Lamb, or our joining in union with the Lord. The wine speaks of spiritual things. The spirit moved in ways meant for that time. We are moving into and already starting into a time of spiritual spoken Word such as we've not even heard of. The mother represents the church. The mother of Jesus said, when they desired more wine [spirit], "Whatsoever he says, do it" The waterpots were referred as "after the manner of purification" this is symbolic of their religious ways of cleansing. Or their religious order. The water is symbolic of the Word. So if the church does what Jesus says, our Word will be made spirit. Our order of worship will be made new. The governor even said, "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" He said in the book of Joel that he would pour out his spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. I am yearning for the spoken Word move and I know we are even at the threshold of it now. So let's listen to that still small voice and obey. Then we'll see the spoken Word church arise out of obscurity as the water is turned to wine.
