And His voice as the voice of many waters,
signifies the Divine truth . . .
specifically, natural truths,
which are knowledges from the Word . . .
Jehovah is my shepherd,
He will lead me to the waters of quietness.
(Psalm 23:1-2)
Jesus, sitting at the fountain of Jacob, said unto the woman,
Whosoever drinks of this water, shall thirst again;
but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give,
shall not thirst to eternity;
and the water that I shall give,
shall be in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.
(John 4:7-15)
The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters,
Jehovah is upon many waters.
(Psalm 29:3)
When it is known that by "waters" in the Word
are meant truths in the natural person,
it may appear what was signified by washings, in the Israelitish church;
and also what is signified by baptism;
and likewise by these words of the Lord, in John:
Except a man be born of water,
and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
(John 3:5)
To be born "of water" signifies to be born by truths;
and "of the Spirit" signifies by a life according to them.
