Marriage in Kingdom [] A Cool Drink of Water

Hi Pearl;
 You say on your blog that perhaps after the thousand years these ones could marry. It is said at Mark12:25 that neither do these marry or are they given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven. I always thought that because Jesus became our eternal father by adopting us as his children that the heavenly ones who were part of this body would like wise view us the same. Would Jesus then be able to marry?  I stick with scripture here because one could only marry according to their kind , this would be the standard Jehovah set, right? What the creation is that is new I am unsure, but perhaps it is just the fact that they are immortal which no creation every was before Jesus put on immortality an opened the way for the rest of his body.  For sure it was a slap in the face of Satan as his demons for they forsook their proper dwelling place and low and behold Jesus bought ones from the earth to go to heaven and to gain immortality something Satan and his demons never had .   One more question and sorry for so many,perhaps you could respond all on one e-mail, anyway a my question is: how could one of those not anointed give a drink of water to the least of Christ's Brothers and what does the water symbolize to you?

REPLY:


The thirst the faithful anointed have remaining, is not for spiritual waters. 
Jesus said that those given water from him...
 "13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”  John4:13,14 (Prov.10:11; Psalm37:30)

Although we are told that those given "living water" will "never be thirsty" again...
What is this water for which they would no longer thirst? 
(Psalm36:8; Rev.22:1; Psalm23:2; 46:4; Prov.13:14; 18:4; Isa.48:20,21)
Hopefully, from these scriptures, as well as the paragraph from the "Rev.12:16" post... (under "spewed water" http://4womaninthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/12/earth-swallows-satans-river-rev1216.html); 
...you know that the water the faithful anointed already have, is the Word of the Truth (revealed by Holy Spirit) 1John2:20,27,28. 
These receive this living water from Christ himself (John4:14)....not from others, nor from those mentioned in Matt.10:42 and Matt.25:35.

What then, is the "cool drink of water", which others can give the brothers of Christ?

Jesus mentions it, at Matt.5:6 ...
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled."

see also Isa.48:18 ...

“If only you had paid attention to My commandments!
Then your well-being would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

"Can you see that the cool water that the faithful slaves thirst for, is "righteousness"?
The faithful anointed continue to "thirst", as they search for this righteousness.
Nothing within their lives of persecution and adversity within Satan's wicked world,
quenches this thirst.
When those working hard to save lives by means of teaching truth (1Tim.4:16),
find someone who "receives" their sayings....
This is such a refreshing contrast to the rest of parched humanity.

Prov.25:25

This is why Matt.10:42 is preceded by the words:
“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
(This "receiving" is the same word as Matt.7:24.
We are talking about receiving/hearing, the "sayings" of a righteous prophet.)
(see also Mark9:37; John7:17)

From this we also see that not only is a righteous prophet "refreshed" by finding someone who receives the truth from him (listens),
Jesus and our Father are also refreshed; because that one also received These. (Matt.10:20)
The "righteousness" that the faithful slaves of God thirst for,
is found in the hearts of each one, who receives the sayings of God.

As for your other question about the anointed, the new creation, the "double portion" for "firstborn", and the idea of marriage and offspring for the Sons of God,
Please see if the article at

When you read what I said, you will note
that I did not commit to an opinion.

I did said that this was the case...
that there are scriptures that seem to indicate that they will have offspring...
and scriptures which seem to indicate that they won't.
Those scriptures are in the first article (first link).
Holy spirit has not given this information to me.
This was why I said that I can not commit to a belief at this time.
I am still in that position now.

You may wish to consider that the offspring, are spiritual, and are a result of the marriage of the Lamb to his Bride, New Jerusalem.


Thank you for your thoughtful question. If there is anything else,
please let me know.
Love in Christ,
Pearl
