the seventh day

Gen.2[1 ] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.[3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

the seventh month

Exod.23[ 14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. [15 ] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)[16] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

Exod.34[ 22] And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end .[23] Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

The time of ingathering all the increase and fruits of the earth, which strengthen and support man's life; or rather of "never failing", i.e. waters, showers falling in this month, and the rivers full of water.

John chapter Seven

The 15th day of the seventh month ( God's calendar )

7th month - HaEthanim ( 1 Kings 8:2 )

This is the feast of tabernacles

Much talk about the Messiah here

John chapter Seven

[1 ] After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
[
2 ] Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
[
3 ] His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
[
4 ] For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
[
5 ] For neither did his brethren believe in him.
[
6 ] Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
[
7 ] The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
[
8 ] Go ye up unto this feast : I go not up yet unto this feast ; for my time is not yet full come.
[
9 ] When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
[
10 ] But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast , not openly, but as it were in secret.
[
11 ] Then the Jews sought him at the feast , and said, Where is he?
[
12 ] And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
[
13 ] Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
[
14 ] Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
[
15 ] And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
[
16 ] Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
[
17 ] If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
[
18 ] He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
[
19 ] Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
[
20 ] The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
[
21 ] Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
[
22 ] Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
[
23 ] If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
[
24 ] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
[
25 ] Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
[
26 ] But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Messiah / Christ ?
[
27 ] Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Messiah / Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
[
28 ] Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
[
29 ] But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
[
30 ] Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
[
31 ] And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Messiah / Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
[
32 ] The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
[
33 ] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
[
34 ] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
[
35 ] Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
[
36 ] What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

[37 ] In the last day, that great day of the feast, ( the 8th day, a sabbath )

any man thirst ?

Yeshus / Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

[38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said , out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water . ( 1Kings 8:2 - John 4 )

Messiah is the Living waters:

Jer.2[ 13] For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Jer.17[ 13] O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters .

Rev.21[1 ] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
[
2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
[
3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.[ 6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.[ 7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Isa.12[1 ] And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
[
2] Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
[3] Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation .

Rev.7 [ 17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Isa.33[ 21] But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.[22 ] For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us .

back to John "seven"

[39] (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.)[ 40 ] Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

( Deut. 15 -18 )

Lev.23[39] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month , when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath , and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath .

Neh.8[ 18] Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.

back to John "seven"

[41 ] Others said, This is the Messiah / Christ . But some said, Shall Messiah / Christ come out of Galilee?
[
42 ] Hath not the scripture said, That Messiah / Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
[
43 ] So there was a division among the people because of him.
[
44 ] And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
[
45 ] Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
[
46 ] The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
[
47 ] Then answered them the Pharisees , Are ye also deceived?
[
48 ] Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
[
49 ] But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

[50 ] Nicodemus saith unto them, ( he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
[
51 ] Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
[
52 ] They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
[
53 ] And every man went unto his own house.

Pss.89 [36] His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.

Rev.22[1 ] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
[
2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
[
3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
[
4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
[
5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.[ 6] And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
[7] Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Shalom
