After the millennial reign of Christ the entirety of material creation will make a transforming exodus to New Jerusalem.
ALL of humanity are invited to this the final Exodus
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Come!
HankD
Presently, that is today, can whosoever will, take of the water of life freely or only those whom the Lord is calling?
Consider: John 7:37 - 39 In the last day, that great
day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Could they have drink of that water on that day Jesus said that?
What about after Jesus was glorified? What about the group that was with Paul on the road to Damascus? Were all of them being called, could all of them have drink? When did Paul drink of the water?
Was Jesus speaking prophetically in that passage of, the last day, that great of the feast, being the period of Rev 22? After the thousand years?
Is John 7:37-39 prophetic of a dispensation?
Is that spoken of in Rev 22 the same as Eph 1:9,10 esp 10
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
By giving us the water of life, the Holy Spirit
That in the dispensation of
the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;
even in him:
Does the fulness of times begin in Rev 22?
