Rivers, Seas & Water
Rivers, seas, springs and wells. In a dry land, water decides where people can live, and Scripture says so.
The boundary river of the promised land, and the one place Scripture returns to across a thousand years: Israel's crossing, Elijah's departure, Naaman's washing, John's preaching and the baptism of Jesus.
Egypt's river of life: the basket of Moses, the plagues, and the water that turned to blood.
The great river of Mesopotamia: Eden's boundary marker, the promised land's far border, Babylon's water, and a boundary of Revelation.
The swift eastern river: Eden's third river, Assyria's water, and the river of Daniel's vision.
The tributary gorge east of the Jordan where Jacob wrestled through the night and left as Israel.
The seasonal river of the Jezreel valley that swept away Sisera's chariots and ran at Elijah's hand on Carmel.
The sea of the Exodus: Israel's deliverance, Pharaoh's judgment, and the Song of Moses on the far shore.
The freshwater lake below sea level around which most of Jesus' Galilean ministry happened: the call of the fishermen, the storm, the walking on the water.
The Salt Sea at the bottom of the rift valley, the border of Judah and the sea that receives the Jordan and gives nothing back.
The Great Sea of the Old Testament and the sailing water of Acts: Israel's western border and the gospel's road to the nations.
