“Precious one! I have removed the top of your head, filled it with understanding and have put the top back again. They know nothing of what I have done with you in the Spirit. My testimony is given in the spirit of prophecy, so you are brimming with the knowledge, which comes from knowing Me.
You are My messenger and My cupbearer. Like Nehemiah, you must begin the rebuilding process of My apostolic church. This is not a rebuilding of a temple on an old foundation of failure. This is a complete renovation and restoration of the church on a foundation, which I built, but has been captive to the Roman system of the empire for centuries, causing water damage and rot. Together, we will restore it to become a lighthouse to the passing ships.
So I met the Samaritan woman at the well where Jacob’s well was located at the foot of Mount Gerizim. We were speaking together around the sixth hour (the time of high day when Jacob saw the shepherdess, Rachel, coming to the well to water the sheep and feed them. It was the time when all the flocks are gathered together and the stone has been rolled from the well’s mouth. It was a time when Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept.). How is it that I talked to a Samaritan woman, considered to be no better than the Gentiles, telling her the strangest things–that I could give her living water when, seemingly, I have no water at all? I told her that My water would become a fountain of water in her, springing up into everlasting life. ‘Go call your husband and come back,’ I told her.”
“But I have no husband,” she replied.
“That is true,” I said, “you have had five husbands, but the one that you now have is not your husband.” Her heart began to respond to His words, to the point she believed that He must be a prophet; for was she not drinking Jacob’s water at the foot of Mount Gerizim? I told her that the hour was coming that neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will she worship the Father. “You worship what you do not know. We know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
“But Lord,” I said. “Is that not what you and I do together?”
“My precious child, did I not take you to the well, draw up the snakes, throw them away and then put the lid back on it? Do I not speak with you in a face to face relationship?”
“I know, Lord, that You are my Christ, as You tell me these things so I can tell the others. But I have a question, my Beloved. Who are the five who were the Samaritan woman’s husbands?”
“My Shulamite, they are the empires of the enemy, the devil, which have held you captive on their mountains–seven in all, counting the one, which is divided into two parts called the Roman Empire to which My people are bowing when I have bought and paid for them to be Mine. Gerizim is on the west side of us, full of My blessings, with Ebal on the east side, full of curses. My people of the blessings have not been separated from the East, and the West has ceased to be a light of liberty to the world, as I required in My covenants, both the old one in the Law and the new covenant of the cross. The West has become as the East, a harlot of a broken covenant, and I shall surely curse it and take away its blessings unless it gets down on its knees, sincerely repents and turns back to Me. I am the Lord their God, and there is no other god beside Me.”
I saw the apostles arrive and look at me oddly, but they did not dare to ask why He talked to me. I badly wanted to tell the others about all the things the Lord had told me. As I departed, I heard Him saying that one sows and the other reaps. The harvest is ripe and the fields are already white.

Commentary

Look for the church and you will find a well nearby. For it is there she will meet with the Lord for Him to impart the living water, which, if she drinks, she will never thirst again. The water in Jacob’s well must have been like seawater, the salt of which causes thirst to the point of madness.
This brings us to the waters. Does the religious system, called Christianity, really understand the message of the waters of the Bible? It begins in Genesis and continues throughout the Bible to the book of Revelation, where the beast is seen rising out of the sea. Woes finally fall upon the inhabitants of the earth and the sea. The serpent goes after the woman, representing the true church and bride of Christ, by spewing water out of his mouth like a flood, so that he might cause her to be carried away. The earth helps the woman by carrying away the flood of waters, which represent the dark, spiritual waters of the devil, the same waters in the very beginning over which lurked the darkness on the face of the deep.
God was hovering over these waters, in readiness to begin the process of Creation. The earth would become like a virginal bride, whose Beloved would dispel the spirit of darkness with the light. In this manner, He separated the darkness hanging over the seawaters from the dry land so that the dust of the earth with which He created man had none of the dark, spiritual waters in it. When man accepted the lies of Satan to become a man of sin and darkness apart from God, he opened the floodgates for the dark, spiritual waters to come back over the earth. All of creation was contaminated with rivers of the contaminated waters, which flowed back from the earth above to the sea below.
Each of the rivers mentioned in Genesis points to the future empirical governments of Satan, apart from God, which ultimately would take his unsaved humans to their watery death in the spiritually dark waters of religion. Hence, we have a picture in the heart of the nation Israel of the waters flowing down from Mount Hermon by rivulets to the Sea of Galilee, where the fishermen of the Galilee were first called by Jesus, the Kingfisher of men. They would become His church of the apostles who, in turn, would witness to mankind, and fish men of all nations from out of the deadly spiritual waters of the rivers of the religious empires represented by the Jordan River. If they are not fished out of the river waters, its current will dump its contents into the waters of the deadly, Dead Sea. At this point, nothing but pillars of salt and asphalt remain of man.
This is the summary and total picture for the conclusion of world history and for the unsaved who are not fished out of the clutches of death by Jesus and His apostles calling in the Spirit, to come out of her, Babylon the Great, mother of all harlots to the Lord. This picture also gives us understanding of the ministry of John the Baptist who calls men to come out of the evil, spiritual waters of Satan and his Progressive Liberalism, and into new life, born again of the spiritual, living waters from above. At the same time, he hands over the reins of the Levitical high priesthood to Jesus, when He, a man of no sin, is baptized only for the purpose of fulfilling all righteousness.
The picture is repeated in the heart of America, right down the center line of division between Canada and the United States with the Great Lakes, which symbolize the Babylonian system of four empires, the last one of which is divided into two separate empires of the Early Roman Empire and the latter-day Revived Roman Empire of the One World Order. These lakes are symbolic of religious contamination from the sin of the Garden, as is the Sea of Galilee contaminated by the curse of God falling upon the earth. The Great Lakes end in a final rush of the evil spiritual waters with a force creating perhaps the greatest rush of water in the entire world, which we know as Niagara Falls. This represents the final downward drive of the devil to destroy mankind.
Finally, the waters’ contents are spewed out of the mouth of the river and into the deadly seawaters of the great sea. The point of junction between the lakes and the sea is at the entrance to the St. Lawrence River where the King’s Town of Kingston is located. The Jordan River is the counterpart in Israel with the King’s Town of Jerusalem being but a stone’s throw from the junction of the Jordan River with the Dead Sea. It was there that John baptized in the spirit of Elijah, calling the baptized to purity, making a straight way for the Lord to receive us in the kingdom.
Once again, the bride, in her safe haven, just down the river, in a renovated house on a port of rock like a lighthouse to the ships, calls believers to be baptized and come out of the religious dark waters and into the understanding of the truth. If they do not listen, the destination for the uncaught fish is just beyond the mouth of the river where it joins with the ocean—the big sea. It was there that the floating iron empire, the ship called the Titanic, was taken to its watery grave at the bottom of the sea. Surely, this haven in a storm will become a fountain of pure, living water. There is a purity to this church, which will see all the snakes of the religious church age cast out and apart from it.
“Now, drink, My sister, My spouse, drink deeply of My cup. For in its blood and water is found the blessing of Abraham upon the families of all the nations.”
