JOHN 7:37
King Hezekiah is known for preparing Jerusalem for a siege by making a long tunnel from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam. The pool’s water was said to be the purest on earth because Mount Zion is its source.
Each year during the Feast of Tabernacles, water was taken from the Pool of Siloam in golden pitchers and carried up to the Temple in Jerusalem where it was poured out on the altar as an offering to God. This is described in Isaiah 12:3 – “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”
It is also part of Isaiah’s prophecy about the Messiah in Isaiah 55:1-3.
In John 7:37-38, Jesus cried out at the celebration during the Feast of Tabernacles that those who thirst should come to Him and drink.
Are you facing problems and feeling overwhelmed? Come to Him. He is your source. He will supply your need, and out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water.
