A promise of the Water of Life. The third neḇuah of the coming of Mashiaḥ.
1 THEN came the Word of Elohim to Aḏam, and said unto him:–
2 “O Aḏam, as to what thou sayest, ‘Bring me into a land where there is rest,’ it is not another land than this, but it is the kingdom of shamayim where alone there is rest.
3 “But thou canst not make thy entrance into it at present; but only after thy judgment is past and fulfilled.
4 “Then will I make thee go up into the kingdom of shamayim, thee and thy righteous seed; and I will give thee and them the rest thou askest for at present.
5 “And if thou saidst, ‘Give me of the Water of Life that I may drink and live’–it cannot be this day, but on the day that I shall descend into hell, and break the gates of brass, and bruise in pieces the kingdoms of iron.
6 “Then will I in mercy save thy soul and the souls of the righteous, to give them rest in My garden. And that shall be when the end of the world is come.
7 “And, again, as regards the Water of Life thou seekest, it will not be granted thee this day; but on the day that I shall shed My blood upon thy head in the land of Golgotha.
8 “For My blood shall be the Water of Life unto thee, at that time, and not to thee alone, but unto all those of thy seed who shall believe in Me; that it be unto them for rest forever.”
9 The 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said again unto Aḏam, “O Aḏam, when thou wast in the garden, these trials did not come to thee
10 “But since thou didst transgress My commandment, all these sufferings have come upon thee.
11 “Now, also, does thy flesh require food and drink; drink then of that water that flows by thee on the face of the earth.”
12 Then Elohim withdrew His Word from Aḏam.
13 And Aḏam and Ḥawwah worshipped 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and returned from the river of water to the cave. It was noon-day; and when they drew near to the cave, they saw a large fire by it.
