PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The following message is a summary of a sermon from Dutch Sheets which he preached on the occasion of the Biblical New Year 5780 at the ministry of Glory of Zion (note: Chuck D. Pierce).

The Year 5780, a Strategic Year

The next year will be one of the most significant and strategic years. It is a year in which it is crucial to be sober, to observe procedures and to hear exactly what God is saying because we are in a time of quick changes.

Herein is a great emphasis on the Word from Amos 9:13-15.
 
Amos 9:13-15:
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name,” declares the Lord, who will do these things.
13 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills,
14 and I will bring my people Israel back from exile. “They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God.
 
The biblical year 5780 is not a so-called ‘chrọnos time frame’, but a ‘kairọs moment’ which must be recognized in due time in order to act accordingly.
 
=> In the New Testament, time is categorized into different time characteristics. The first is the Greek word ‘chrọnos’, which refers to the general process of time or chronological time. The other characteristic of time is ‘kairọs’ and refers to the right time, the right moment, the right strategic time, the current time.
These two periods of time contain different phases of the same process. ‘kairọs’ is in many ways an extension or continuation of ‘chrọnos’. When the process unfolds from God's plan, ‘chrọnos’ becomes ‘kairọs’.
The new is connected with the old and is often the result of what has happened in the old. ‘kairọs’, the ideal time is literally born from ‘chrọnos’, the general time. When you are in a non-strategic general time phase of daily life and move forward in the time of ‘chrọnos’, God does not begin completely anew with a ‘kairọs’ time. His agenda does not change. He leads through the phase of a process in which the perseverance and fidelity of a person allows God to move that person into the next phase, which is a strategic time phase.
He changes the time as well as the time phase and transforms ‘chrọnos’ into ‘kairọs’.
Another characteristic of time is ‘pēlrọō’, which means the fullness of time (see Galatians 4:4). This fulfillment contains something to complete or accomplish entirely.
While ‘kairọs’ offers the opportunity to accomplish a task or bear fruit, ‘plērọō’ means that it has already been accomplished. This is synonymous with the process of the birth of children.
After conception, a woman goes through all three stages of time: ‘chrọnos, kairọs and plērōma’.
For nine months, the woman goes through the challenging but important phase of development during the ‘chrọnos’ period. Much happens in the hidden place of the womb, but the woman cannot yet hold her child in her hands or enjoy the fruit she knows is coming. Then the pregnant woman enters into the ‘kairọs’ time of the contractions and the birth. She has not yet reached the end of her fullness, but she is about to enter. This ‘kairọs’-time is however very difficult and dangerous. The opportunity to give birth does not have to guarantee success. To reach the birth stage, the woman must go through much physical effort, pain and pressure necessary to receive the fullness of the fruit. Finally, the woman goes through the ‘kairọs’ time phase and then enters the ‘plērōma’ stage of abundance associated with the birth of the child. <= (The text set in ‘=>’ is an analogous excerpt from the book ‘God's Timing for Your Life’ by Dutch Sheets, Ventura, CA: Regal Books, 2001, pp. 26-27).
 
If you are in a ‘chrọnos phase’, it may occasionally feel like nothing is happening or you feel like you got stuck, which is not the case. A ‘chrọnos phase’ includes the time of preparation.
 
1. The Time of Acceleration
 
In connection with the new biblical decade of ‘Pe’ (note: The biblical year 5780 has heralded the decade of ‘Pe’.), there is also an important significance on the passage from Daniel 2:20b-22.
 
Daniel 2:20b-22:
… 20b “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.
 
We have arrived at an appointed time by God where great and sudden changes are emerging. During this phase it is important to be flexible and fluent (in the form of competent). Therefore, it is important to get to a flexible place with the Lord in order to be able to move forward with the Lord quickly and dexterously.
 
The acceleration will take place at high speed, so that it is necessary to reflect on the given strategy of God during the acceleration process and what to do while moving forward with the Lord.

  • The Lord takes us out of our comfort zone and brings acceleration and sudden changes. Therefore we should prepare ourselves to quickly enter the change in the spirit.

  • In addition, the Lord is changing some of our schedules and projects. This will lead us into the phase of expansion that is needed. As we move forward, we should cultivate the things that the Lord gives into our hearts.

  • Furthermore, the Lord surprises us with sudden assignments that we did not know we were meant to do.

2. The Harvest is Coming, and the Kingdom of God will Manifest Itself on Earth in Incredible Ways.

  • There will be an amazing change and a special spiritual warfare associated with incredible victory (see Ephesians 6:12).

  • The Lord will involve us in these matters and we will be surprised by sudden commissions.

This is about the gospel of the Kingdom of God including the dominion of God instead of merely the gospel of salvation. God's good news has unfortunately been reduced in the past to the ‘gospel of salvation’. However, the gospel of salvation is only the point of entry into the Kingdom. The gospel of the Kingdom includes the dominion of the king. And it is the authority of the Kingdom of God to rule and lead. – It is God's intention that the victory of His Kingdom should be seen through His people on earth. This visibility of victory will affect all levels of society, not only personal but also entrepreneurial. All cultures, societies and nations will be touched. The gospel of salvation is a thorn in Satan's eye and he even trembles at the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

  • It is the Kingdom power of God that manifests itself over a continuous period of time through signs and wonders of the Kingdom on earth, as it has been appointed in heaven. As a result, the nations will be positively shaken!

  • It should be noted that Jesus Christ did not preach the gospel of salvation in the first place, but the gospel of the Kingdom, which includes repentance and not ‘only’ the message of love of Jesus Christ or the Heavenly Father (see Matthew 4:17).

Matthew 4:17:
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
 
This leads to the time when there will be more people saved by the gospel of the Kingdom than by the gospel of salvation. Though this may sound confusing to some believers, God will take care of these persons.

  • The Kingdom of God includes the dominion of God, with the ‘Church – ekklēsịa’ being part of it and not the other way around. (note: Jesus Christ brought the ‘church – ekklēsịa’ to birth on the cross through His side in order to preach the Kingdom; see John 19:33-34).

  • This knowledge will increase, but it will certainly come along with spiritual warfare.

3. God is Working on the Reworking of the Old Wineskins.

  • God is in the process of reworking the old wine skins through the influence of wisdom and today's revelatory truth (note: revelation). This happens on a personal as well as a common level.

  • For this He takes the old wineskins and combines them with wisdom and today's revelatory truth. It is important to apply the wisdom of what God has spoken to you in the past and at the same time to be careful not to get stuck in what the Lord spoke ten years ago.

  • One can be influenced by the revelation and things the Lord did in the past, but one should apply God's revelatory truth for that time and pay attention to what He is speaking at this time. It is important to allow the Holy Spirit to renew our wineskin where it is necessary. Otherwise one will not be able to keep the new wine (see Mark 2:22).

  • Since the LORD comes with fresh, new wine, we should use and listen to the wisdom of the old and pay attention to His revelatory truth today.

  • The transformation of the wine skins will be much greater than what we saw in the last movements 40 years ago.

  • The Holy Spirit is tired of being put into boxes by believers.

  • He will not stay there nor be imprisoned by human reason. Therefore, we should allow the Holy Spirit to build us up and let us walk more spirit-filled.

  • At this time, Paul's prayer, which he prayed for the Ephesians by asking for them to be filled with the spirit of wisdom and revelation, becomes more crucial (see Ephesians 1:17). Here the Lord will reveal to His people how to dance the daily dance of wisdom and revelation.

  • It is the time of the highest level of prophetic anointing of wisdom and revelation that leads to the full equipping in order to reveal the power of the Kingdom.

  • The Holy Spirit gives us wisdom and revelation, so it is necessary that we obey and listen to Him daily as we move forward and begin to preach from the ‘river’.

  • GOD is tired of being reduced to Sunday worship service and also that the movement of His Spirit is put into a set schedule or programs.

  • Signs and miracles have an important component in the Kingdom of God, so it is important to be open to them and welcome them (see John 10:38).

  • At this time the Holy Spirit emphasizes the ‘watchman’ or rather His task, because it is a matter of observing things from the walls and listening carefully (see Song of Songs 3:3-4 i.c.w. Isaiah 62:6-7). God will use this to bring us as His people to the next stage of destination.

Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The Celebration of the Biblical Feasts
 
For us as body of Christ, the celebration of the biblical feasts doesn't mean the celebration out of legality but a celebration from the perspective of freedom and the revelatory knowledge in Jesus Christ.
 
Ezekiel and the Approach to the Temple Spring
 
For example, we can recognize a reference to the appointed biblical feasts through the approach of Ezekiel as he approached by the command of the angel the temple spring in the vision by God.
The biblical feasts are linked to the increase of the Holy Spirit – the presence of God on earth (see Ezekiel 47:1.3-5 i.c.w. Exodus 34:23-24).
 
Ezekiel 47:1.3-5:
1 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. …
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep.
4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist.
5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in – a river that no one could cross.
 
Exodus 34:23-24:
23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel.
24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
 
The Rising Phase of the Water of the Temple Spring
 
Every stage of the rising of the water of the temple spring was linked to Ezekiel's obedience and the measure of the divine order, because the angel held a measuring line in his hand with which he measured 1000 cubits after each step of Ezekiel.
 
In this context, the number “1000” is related to the “full measure of God”.
There have been four phases of increase that should draw our attention to the following appointed time frames of God:
 
  1. the water that went up to the ankles of Ezekiel => Passover (note: forgiveness and salvation through the blood of the Lamb)
  2. the water that went up to the knees of Ezekiel => Shavuot/Feast of Weeks/Pentecost (note: includes the gift of faith to trust God for the coming provision/gift of supernatural revelation – the giving of the Torah/the outpouring of the Holy Spirit)
  3. the water that went up to the thigh of Ezekiel => Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles (note: the feast of the glory of God/thanksgiving for the God given harvest)
  4. the water that covered the entire body of Ezekiel => the spirit-filled path of the body of Christ in the time frames of God and in the fullness of His glory.
The Going Up of Elijah on Mount Carmel
 
When we consider the going up of Elijah on Mount Carmel and his spiritual birth position (see 1 Kings 18:41-44a) as well as classify his body (note: head, knees and feet) into the three appointed biblical feasts by God according to Exodus 23:14-17, which are:
 
  1. Passover/the victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross, celebrated in the first biblical month of “Aviv/Nisan” (note: Elijah's feet; the foot of Mount Carmel),
  2. Shavuot/Pentecost, celebrated in the third biblical month of “Sivan” (note: Elijah's knees; Elijah's place of prayer on Mount Carmel) and
  3. Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles, celebrated in the seventh biblical month “Ethanim/Tishrei” (note: Elijah's head; the top of Mount Carmel),

nowadays Elijah can be considered as a representative of the prophetic body of Christ, who draws attention to the three biblical feasts established by God in the temporary time cycle of a year, because the biblical year, according to the biblical – Hebrew perspective, is equivalent to a mountain, where the beginning of the new year in the blessing cycle of God is called ‘Rosh ha-Shanah’, which means ‘peak/head of the year’.

Exodus 23:14-17:
14 ‘Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 ‘Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread (note: Passover); for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt. ‘No-one is to appear before me empty-handed.
16 ‘Celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field (note: Shavuot – Feast of Weeks). ‘Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field (note: Sukkot – Feast of Tabernacles).
17 ‘Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.

1 Kings 18:41-44a:
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”
42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
44a The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” ...
 
Elijah's Going Up and the Seven-Fold Ascension of His Servant
 
Elijah's going up to Mount Carmel is a divine call to be attentive of the value of the biblical feasts within the temporary time of the year.
 
It was Elijah's intercession and the seven-fold going up of his servant to the top of the mountain that brought forth the glorious manifestation of God's creative hand which was a divine sign that pointed out that God would shape His plan on earth through the power of faith.
 
It was no coincidence that Elijah's servant had to go up seven times to the top of the mountain in order to see the hand of God.
 
It is the seventh month of “Tishrei/Ethanim” in the cycle of the redemption of God which contains the beginning of the new biblical year, the Ten Days of Awe, Jom Kippur – The Great Day of Atonement and Sukkot/the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the feast that celebrates the glory of God who is Jesus Christ full of grace and truth (see Exodus 40:34-35; 1 Kings 8:2.10-13 i.c.w. John 1:14).
 
Exodus 40:34-35:
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
 
1 Kings 8:2.10-13:
2 All the Israelites came together to King Solomon at the time of the festival in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month. …
10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord.
11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; 13 I have indeed built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever.”
 
John 1:14:
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
 
Elijah, by his spiritual birth position, brought the supernatural sound in his ears (note: the supernatural outpouring of God) into the position of his knees, which is an indication of a repentant and humble heart in order to be enabled to pray or speak the words that the Spirit speaks.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The Heavenly Father's concern is for us to precede and act out of the sonship by Christ. Even when we get into challenging situations, it is important to focus on the realm of the heavenly things first.
 
The reason for this is simply because this realm is linked to the eternal government of Christ (see Colossians 3:1-3).

Colossians 3:1-3:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

As a result, if the Lord allows us, we begin to prophesy or act according to what we have seen in heaven.

In this context I would like to address the apostle John, who was in captivity on the island of Patmos because of the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus (see Revelation 1:9 i.c.w. Revelation 19:10e).

Revelation 1:9:
9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 19:10e:
… 10e for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Island and God's Revelation

The geographical location of an island implies that it is completely surrounded by water, which in a prophetic context indicates the presence of revelation. For it is the governmental sphere of God that is connected to the crystal sea and from where God releases His revelation (see Revelation 4:6a).

Revelation 4:6a:
6a Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. …

The Greek name of the island ‘Patmos’ can also be translated as ‘my killing’, which from the point of view of the Heavenly Father refers to the death of Jesus on the cross (see John 3:16 i.c.w. Romans 8:32).

John 3:16:
16 For God (note: the Father) so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 8:32:
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

This sacrificial death requires that every follower of Jesus no longer lives according to his own ideas, but follows the eternal plan of God (see Matthew 16:24-25 i.c.w. Romans 6:2-8; Galatians 2:20; 1 Peter 2:21-24).

Matthew 16:24-25:
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.”

Galatians 2:20:
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Romans 6:3-8:
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin – 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

1 Peter 2:21-24:
21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

The death of oneself and the unconditional discipleship carries in itself the possibility to get a deeper insight into the realms of revelation of the Lord.
 
Revelation and the Biblical Times

The apostle John was trained in the field of prophecy in a supernatural way, so that today we too can learn from the visitation of God in the Book of Revelation.

John knew how to work with the times of God, which is illustrated by the mention of the day of the Lord, which goes hand in hand with the sound of the trumpet (see Revelation 1:10.12a-b).

Revelation 1:10.12a-b:
10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, …
12a-b I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw …

It is no coincidence that every new biblical year of God's cycle of blessing is related to the sound of the trumpet (Numbers 29:1).

Numbers 29:1:
1 “ ‘On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. It is a day for you to sound the trumpets.

This means that God connects released revelation with His created time cycles, which contain the biblical feasts and their deep meaning.

The voice which sounded like a trumpet to John later spoke again to John, so that he was called from the realm of a messenger to the seven churches into a higher realm of revelation. John changed from the realm of revelation of a messenger to the realm of revelation of a witness. He witnessed God's government and the related spiritual movements in the eternal realm.

In order for John to be able to enter the realm of the messenger of the seven churches, the time frame determined by God was required, which was connected with the sound of the trumpet and the turning of John.

The turning is, among other things, an indication of having a repentant and humble heart in order to be capable to grasp God's revelation (see 1 Peter 5:5b-6 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:14).
 
1 Peter 5:5b-6:
… 5b All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
 
Hebrews 12:14:
14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
 
Furthermore, John's turning is a call to acknowledge the times of God, to bring oneself to God's memory and to pay attention to the prophetic words that have been spoken about one in the past.
This results in the manifestation of the promise and the goodness of God in the form of more time (see Isaiah 38:2-5 i.c.w. 1 Timothy 1:18-19a; 1 Timothy 4:14).
 
Isaiah 38:2-5:
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.
 
1 Timothy 1:18-19a:
18 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19a holding on to faith and a good conscience, …
 
1 Timothy 4:14:
14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
 
The turning of John in the spiritual realm encompasses a horizontal view pointing to the meaning of the words of God (note: prophecy – promise) in the temporary time and to bringing oneself to remembrance before God, since the characteristics of the seven churches also refer to the earthly realm and thus touch the temporary time.
 
The Boundary Between Levels of Revelation and God's Times
 
When John reached the spiritual boundary of the level of revelation of a supernatural messenger, the Lord, through the same voice that had previously spoken to John like a trumpet, opened to him a new spiritual realm associated with the vertical vision of the apostle.
 
Now John saw a door open in heaven and the voice that he heard like a trumpet (note: the sound of the announcement of God's times) challenged his spirit to enter a higher spiritual sphere (see Revelation 4:1-2).
 
Revelation 4:1-2:
1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
 
This spiritual realm included God's seat of government and its related spiritual movements and plans.
 
Speaking in a prophetic context, the voice that spoke like a trumpet is “the messenger of God's times” (note: Jesus Christ as the Alpha and Omega; see Revelation 22:13). The times of God from eternity are linked to the temporary time.
 
When John looked up, he saw not only a realm of revelation associated with the temporary time, but the realm of the time corpus of God's eternity associated with the eternal government of the Lord.
 
The Two Perspectives and the Flow of the Spirit
 
Both perspectives (note: backwards and upwards) of John create the view of the prophets of God, who always act and prophesy from the perspective of Jesus' sacrificial death.
 
Here it is no coincidence that the Hebrew word ‘yôbêl’ for ‘trumpet’ is connected with the ‘ram and the blast of a horn – shofar (from its continuous sound)’ which ‘announces the feasts’ of God.
 
Furthermore its root word ‘yâbal’ carries the meaning ‘properly to flow; causatively to bring (especially with pomp => in the form of impressive): - bring (forth), carry, lead (forth).’ (note: partial excerpt from Strong's concordance with the word key number: H3104, H2986)
 
On the basis of this explanation we can see that it is in God's interest to let prophetic utterances accurately take place in the order of the Holy Spirit (see 1 Corinthians 14:32-33a).
 
1 Corinthians 14:32-33a:
32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
33a For God is not a God of disorder but of peace …
 
The principle of diligent prophetic utterance becomes clear through the first formation of the river.
It was in God's plan that the first river in Eden emerged and then divided into four rivers in the God-destined garden for Adam, so that Adam, through his relationship (note: garden) with God, would reflect the identity of I AM – YAHWEH (note: The name of ‘YAHWEH’ consists of four Hebrew letters. => ‘Yod, He, Waw, He’).
 
Genesis 2:10:
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.
 
Furthermore, it is the power of the Holy Spirit that becomes active and originates in a fourfold way from those who believe in Jesus Christ and His Word (see John 7:38-39a).
 
John 7:38-39a:
38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
39a By this he meant the Spirit, …
 
I am personally convinced that these streams of living water Jesus mentions are four rivers, because it is about the revelation of the identity and presence of the God of Israel (note: YAHWEH, in Hebrew written in four letters), who is also our Heavenly Father (see Romans 8:15).

Romans 8:15:
15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
 
It is the river of sonship in Christ that carries the identity of the Heavenly Father, so that the Father appears before men in the facet in which He wants to reveal Himself as Father (see John 14:9b).

John 14:9b:
… 9b Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. …
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
