The Wedding

John 2 King James Version

2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

[The third day is the day of the resurrection.  On this day Jesus began taking his wife, his sister, his brother, his mother.  Yes, they become his wife.]

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.  [Hurt not the oil and the wine.  See the wine is the glory or joy of the Lord.  IT is the anointing.]  But the Mother of Jesus = our self— said as of now we still have no wine or joy of the Holy Ghost.]

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

See that Jesus now calls her WOMAN, not mother.  Why?  His hour had not yet come to take his spouse, his sister, mother, brother, to be his Bride.  Why are you asking for the wine before the day of Pentecost?

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.  [Here the mother shows her faith in Jesus that he can and will yet give them that glorious WINE of the Word.  Just do whatever he says;  obey his word and you will receive the glorious wine]  

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

[Six.. the number of man.  Waterpots of stone … the stony heart or law still holding no water or wine.  Manner of the purifying of the Jews… still under that old law which could never take away sins and fill them with joy.  They now held no water or salvation = baptism in water in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, Acts 2:38.  Fill those empty waterpots with water.  And they obeyed;  filled them up to the brim;  completely full.]

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

[Draw out now… draw water out of those wells of water; it shall be IN YOU A WELL OF WATER SPRINGING UP UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.

The ruler of the feast did not know where this wonderful wine came from but he knew it was the best ever.  The servants which drew that water knew where it came from.  He saved the best for last.]

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

[Notice that after this third day, or resurrection and his marriage,  Jesus now began bringing his judgment and wrath on those who bought and sold, making his Father’s house a house of merchandise  = sure mark of the beast.]

A few days ago just before laying down to sleep I stopped and read John 2.  It was as if I was reading a totally different script.  I read it with the secret language of Scripture, looking beneath the surface and it told me the above.  Thank you,Lord Jesus, for your glorious word.  Amen.
