Water Into Wine Bible Study John 2

I often thought of how it was a wedding, which typifies the church as the bride, getting the baptism of the Spirit.

6 is the number of man, and immersing us (6) as earthen containers, being made from dust of the earth, so that we can have God's Spirit inside of us. So we see baptism in water and Baptism in the Spirit as well!

Very interesting parallel!

And the best of the wine, this wine that Jesus made, was served last. Do you think that there is any correlation here to perhaps in the last days, the best of what God has in store for the church is waiting to be poured out for us?

I believe the idea you have is applied to the entire NEW COVENANT, and not a certain part of our age. After all the works of God since ADAM, the New Covenant is the last wine that's better than the first!

Also, there is the thought of how CREATION and Adam and Eve are outlined with a NEW Adam and Eve. Jesus and the Church

Let there be light is referenced to Jesus being the light.

You have the reference to the NEXT DAY in the first chapter, like creation account, with the obvious IN THE BEGINNING starting it all off in verse 1, with Jesus baptized in the water and the dove falls on him... the Spirit of God moved (literally, brooded like a bird) on the face of the deep.

Waters are divided in Genesis on day 2.

The marriage is said to be the third day. Resurrection. It is due to the resurrection of Jesus that we have a marriage with Christ!

Thanks for drawing these parallels. There has certainly got to be some significance to this particular miracle being the first recorded miracle of Jesus, and that it was such a controversial one.
