Water into Wine - Y'suha's Miracle Before His Time

This page is an adjunct to the Reset 2022 Journal

Many years ago, I came to recognize the account of Jesus' first miracle as a prophecy about when He would return. In the second chapter of John we find that account of when Jesus changed water into wine during a wedding at Cana in Galilee. I understood the six stone jars of water to mean six millennia of biblical history. I interpreted the changing of water into wine as a sign of when Jesus would redeem his people at the beginning of the seventh millennium. In recent months, Aaron and I have come to see that prophecy as having added meaning with even more precision in the timing. With how things developed on the 17th of March, 2021, we can't help but see this as a significant and timely study!

The passage of interest appears on the right, organized in a special way that puts The Author's design on exhibit. We invite you to explore the relationships that are exposed when you hover your mouse (or tap on) the lines of text and the columns of bars. Click on the bars spanning verses 3-6 to reveal the embedded commentary.

We see in this passage the featuring of the pending reset of time in the inversions that appear in the narrative as well as in the structure of the text. We also see the keystone pattern.

The Resident Keystone Pattern

While this example of the keystone pattern isn't the most strict example (which is why we haven't featured it on the page of keystone examples), we cannot dismiss it for reasons that should become obvious.

As a quick refresher, the keystone pattern involves three things of a kind that prepare the way for what follows. The 4th thing in sequence (and sometimes a 5th) is similar but different, and the set is brought to completion in some satisfactory way. (This pattern signifies the count of shemitah from the celestial sign of 1991 that brings us to the shemitah of fulfillment.)

The first three things appear in verses 7-8 as Jesus' commands and their being carried out by the servants.

1. Jars are filled with water.
2. Some is drawn out
3. and taken to the master of the feast

Notice how the three-foldness of this command sequence is magnified in the three-foldness of the thematic structure; three lines, three times. This thematic unit composes the central pivot of the passage and for this reason receives special attention. It's the narrative describing the performance of the miracle that resulted in what we read about in verse 11, that Jesus manifested his glory and his disciples believed in him. These verses 5 through 8 compose the C and C' of the 3+3 chiasm. Giving further emphasis to the three-ness or three-foldness, the C and C' are the third of the three pairings.

Somewhere along the way, as those three commands were obeyed, the miracle happens.

4. The master of the feast tastes the water now become wine.
5. He calls the bridegroom and states his notable observation

Whether you consider this to be a 1 or 2 or even 3 element follow-up to the initial 3, it's "keystone-ish" enough for the pattern to resonate strongly in the passage. We cannot help but see this in a context where the keystone pattern is right at home. While Aaron and I were swapping emails about the passage we both received timely indicators that were relevant in ways that were beyond coincidence, as you will see, and these reinforced what we were learning about this keystone and time reset signaling passage.

Why are we told in the narrative that the wedding was on the 3rd day when there is no apparent point of reference? We've both researched this and it's a very curious matter that we can't easily dismiss. If it matters enough to identify the number in the count then why aren't we informed further about whether it pertains to the week or to the month or in some other context? We see a few reasons that are worth developing here.

One thing it does for us, in noting this peculiarity, is to draw our attention to the subject of timing in a very fundamental way. That emphasis is certainly appropriate in the esoteric layering. This wedding was in Galilee, a name that means, "a circle or circuit." We've noted how Lake Galilee is sometimes used in cryptic prophetic scenarios to signal time, and it may be understood as the circle of time with the river of time running through it. The theme of time is, shall we say, an esoteric undercurrent in this passage.

Another thing this mention of the 3rd day does for us involves the subject of resurrection. There is a 3rd day code that signals the presence of a hidden resurrection scenario. The interpretation of the changing of water into wine as resurrection finds a lot of support when you understand the 3rd day code and note the extensive tripling in the structure of the text, the three-foldness I pointed out earlier.

Even more support for this interpretation may be found in the volume of water given in the account. Dr. Stephen Jones made these observations. "Six waterpots times three firkins would be 18 firkins total. Each firkin is 8.5 Imperial gallons. Let us multiply it: 18 x 8.5 = 153 Imperial gallons." (Source: The Six Waterpots in John 2) In the 21st chapter of John the number 153 is connected to water and resurrection as it was the number of fish caught in the net. (See our study: The Secret Resurrections of John 21)

Yet another thing this mention of the 3rd day does for us was brought up in an email I got from Aaron on the 16th of March, 2021. We had already talked about this passage in John 2 a few times and he was led to give it some more attention. The next morning I was able to give it my full attention. As I read through his email I began to have a sense that the Lord did indeed have something for us in that. I spent a little time in study and replied with a few of my own thoughts and observations. The email thread continued to develop throughout the day. Our level of enthusiasm for the project was raised by the way things developed! I think the best way to present this is to share the content of the emails and add a little commentary.

Aaron's initial email had this subject line: "John 2 - Miracle at Cana - Third day - Model for "third day of Shemitah week?"" Here's what he wrote.

Looking at John 2 and immediately in John 2:1 we are told "On the third day..."

Chapter 2 verse 1 - a 21 signal?

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee,

Jesus performs the water-into-wine water/time transformation miracle on the third day - but we are not told "what" as far as the reference point is concerned regarding why the third day is being mentioned - so perhaps we can infer that this is an exoteric reference to the third day of the week - Tuesday - and perhaps an esoteric reference to the model that the reset of time will be taking place during the 3rd day of the Shemitah week that runs from 2019-2026?

Jesus tells Mary that His time has not yet come - but He does the miracle anyway - we know that Jesus' time for coming forth for His Bride is not in this spurious timeline - but in the one that comes - yet the time miracle is needed for us to get there.

3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." 4 And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

We are also told that the stone pots were there for the purpose of a purification ritual - a washing - cleansing - we know that part of the reason for this season is the readying, refining, and purifying of His people to be prepared in the post-reset world.

6 Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each. 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.

There was the washing of the feet during the final supper that comes to mind while reflecting upon this part of things.

Verse 10 contains the headwaiter discussing with the Bridegroom the inversion in the order in which the wines were presented.

9 When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom, 10 and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

Verse 11 tells us that this was the the beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana - manifesting His glory - and His disciples believed in Him. We know that for those whom it is granted to be aware of the reset and who are allowed to retain some memories - that is going to be a powerful manifestation of God's glory, power, and an overwhelming "boost" to the faith, trust, and belief of those special folks.

If you've been paying close enough attention to our productions this should all make sense. For the sake of clarity on a major point, we had been seeing the inversions present in the account as indications of the reset of time, which Aaron referenced when writing, "Jesus tells Mary that His time has not yet come - but He does the miracle anyway" and "the inversion in the order in which the wines were presented." We're expecting time to be reset around April 16, 2022, returning us back to 2012. This is according to our expectation of when the lawless one should be revealed, in the third year of the shemitah on the 13th day of the first month, just before Pesah.

When Aaron mentions that the washing of the feet during the final supper came to mind, there's good reasons for that! That meal was the last time Jesus supped with his disciples before his crucifixion and the wedding feast in Cana happened when "his hour had not yet come." We're comparing a set of "bookends" from John 2 and John 13, and they do compare! Both: 1. feature the water of purification (John 2:6 / John 13:5) and 2. the fruit of the vine (John 2:9-10 / Matthew 26:29) and 3. happen when the Passover is at hand (John 2:12-13 / John 13:1) and 4. feature keystone designs. These correspondences aren't for no reason. There is a link, and I believe the esoteric context reveals why and supports our current understanding. John 13 features Judas as the man of lawlessness. He is revealed, yet not quite, because the other disciples didn't recognize that he was the betrayer. I'm pretty sure we've shared this view publicly, that Judas' act of betrayal at the scene of the arrest must have been what finally caused the other disciples to see him as the betrayer. That was the revealing, to them, and what had happened earlier at the supper was only a revealing in part, a prerequisite of sorts. So, with a link established between John 2 and John 13, we see the long shadow of Judas cast back into John 2's esoteric account, speaking to us of the revealing of the lawless one being interrupted by the reset of time just prior to Pesah.

Here's my response to Aaron's initial email.

Very interesting.

I did a little noodling, made a few calculations, did a little research. Some notes.
6 stone *jars containing 2 or 3 metretes each.

The liquid measure known as a firkin.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 3355: μετρητής
Metrates, measurer,
μετρητής (on the accent see Chandler § 51f), μετρητου, ὁ (μετρέω), properly, a measurer, the name of a utensil known as an amphora, which is a species of measure used for liquids and containing 72 sextarii or ξεστοι (i. e. somewhat less than nine English gallons; see B. D. under the phrase, Weights and Measures, at the end (p. 3507 American edition)

The total volume being 12 to 18 or 15 firkins if averaged.

In units of sextarii:
Minimum limit of the range: 6*2*72=864
Maximum limit: 6*3*72=1,296
The range median being 6*2.5*72=1,080

Strong's Greek: 1080. γεννάω (gennaó) -- to beget, to ...
https://www.biblehub.com/greek/1080.htm
1080 gennáō - properly, beget (procreate a descendant), produce offspring; (passive) be born, "begotten."

1080 = 3x360 (360 degrees in a circle) 3 rotations compare to 3 days / "on the third day"

The distance of Earth from the Sun is about 108 times the diameter of the Sun
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is also about 108 times the diameter of the Moon.

1,080 = 12 x 9 x 10
The "chord" of 108 degrees is ϕ phi, the golden ratio.
1,080 =2x2 × 3x3x3 x10

1080 is the average number of human breaths drawn per hour.
108 degrees Fahrenheit is the internal temperature at which the human body's vital organs begin to fail from overheating.

HD height dimension: 1920x1080

My interest in the volume of water is due to the water as time metaphor and because volume is a measure that equates to an amount of time.

The volume in firkins averaging to 2 1/2 per water jar is interesting because the key division of the shemitah is at the 2.5 year mark! The shemitah years begin on Yom Teruah, which is in the 7th month with respect to the calendar cycle where the lawless one will be revealed in the 1st month, 13th day. The specific event that is of primary interest will come during the shemitah of fulfillment in the year 2015 that will arrive AFTER time will have been reset back into the past. That will be the 6th in series, as SIX WATER JARS? See the graphic above and count the blue lines in sequence.

The 72 sextarii per firkin is interesting because that's the number of hours in 3 full days. The wedding where this measure of water was evoked was held on the third day. With respect to Jesus' resurrection, "on the 3rd day" meant after 3 full days passed. The number 72 is also understood to be a kind of portal number, which is very relevant in the esoteric layering. The number 72 is widely used in architecture and entertainment media to signify a stargate or wormhole that can be opened and transited through. They get this from somewhere, and we know the fallen angels took with them some of the secrets of heaven. If you web search "gateway demons, the Goetia" and also, "Shemhamphorash" you'll find plenty of info. Caveat- as the Lord may so lead.

I see the 1080 as the most interesting number produced. As a volume of water and therefore a time number, the total amount of water as time that was transformed into wine is a number that resonates with the natural creation, with certain aspects being noted in the email above. Especially with the Sun and Moon being the appointed keepers of time! See Genesis 1:14-18.

The number of degrees in a circle (360) is used by some as the number of days in a year when calculating biblical or prophetic spans. Because we're dealing with shemitah, a "week" of years" on the esoteric level, I was curious about whether there might be some application with respect to the span of a year. Solar years are about 365 1/4 days long so 1080 days actually comes up a bit short of 3 years. I was curious about whether a year on the Lord's calendar could ever be exactly 1080 days long, so Aaron and I did a little research and reached the conclusion that any given 3 year span is always longer than 1080 days. Dead end, I think, but our data may be useful to some of you, so it's included in the side bar.

Last but not least, the production of the number 1080 in this esoteric passage speaks to us of the reset of time and the revealing of the lawless one in a way that may speak to you as it does to us! I reference the Greek word, gennáō, in that email as Strong's G1080. That means, when all the individual words used in the Greek "New Testament" are cataloged and sorted in alphabetical order, this word, gennáō, is number 1,080 in that sequence. If even the hairs of your head have been numbered (Mat 10:30/Lu 12:7), it's a pretty safe bet that the Author knows the count of words and their alphabetical order and that it somehow fits into His perfect plan. The word means, "properly, beget (procreate a descendant), produce offspring." As 1080 is the volume of water turned into wine, this word G1080 seems to whisper to us of begetting a new timeline as when time is reset back into the past. It seems to whisper also about the begetting of a new creation in resurrection as the mortal puts on immortality. This word isn't used in the 2nd or 13th chapters of John, however it is used in connection with the Judas as the lawless one during the (pre)revealing!

The word, gennáō, is used in John 1:13 in a relevant water-into-wine kind of "baptism" transformation context (a verse numbered "1:13" that resonate with that key subject of baptism). The word gennáō is also used in John 3, appearing no less than 8 times in verses 3-8 during the conversation with Nicodemus. Also of interest, the word appears 6 times in the 21 verses of 1 John 5, where "the evil one" is referenced twice in 2 consecutive verses.

Here's Aaron's response to my email above.

Very interesting additions, buddy.

I looked up Strongs 1080 γενναω in BDAG and there is a third definition listed as "to cause something to happen, bring forth, produce, cause." This definition would see that as an agent- bringing forth the event, change, etc.

I also looked up μετρητής in BDAG and in addition to what you included in your email it also cross-referenced the word μετρον. There is an interesting connection here with this word (for measure) as it is the word used in Revelation 21:15 in regards to "linear measure" with specific connection to the measuring of New Jerusalem!

measuring rod/reed = μέτρον κάλαμον

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal. 17 And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.

(Note: In the Greek text of Revelation 21:14-17 and in most other English versions the measures are given as 12,000 stadia instead of fifteen hundred miles, and 144 cubits instead of seventy-two yards.)

Aaron and I exchanged a couple more emails, then he sends me this, with a screenshot.

(email from Aaron) Had to laugh when I saw this from Amazon - came in at 2:01pm - 31 minutes prior to me looking at it. It is a 12 quart pot and it is $72.72. Sure brought to mind some of the notes/noodling we were doing in this thread.

>

I laughed, too. A 12 quart pot and it is $72.72. Right. From Amazon, of the Bezos/Amazon Day One time reset rituals. What's the main ingredient that people put into a stockpot? Water - as time - and this one is identified with the time number of quarts it holds. That's a volume, just so you notice that point. And who prices items at 72.72, right? And the time it came in and when he opened it... interesting - yet, this kind of thing wasn't over yet!

While I was checking my email during that morning's study, I had seen an ad for Liberty University (at left) that had a familiar vibe! I had been focused on the numbers in my study and quickly noted the numbers for "Learn More" - initials L M or 12 13. Time and the mastery of time, inside a bold red arrow. "Time flies like an arrow." The name of the institution is "Liberty University" - initials L U or 12 21. These two time numbers have been used as very timely signs to Aaron and I many times over the years, mostly on digital clocks where they appear as 12:21. There was definitely something going on there, so I captured the image for later. Notice also the featured number, 300. That's the number that is most featured in the water into wine passage, multiplied times 100, which adds emphasis to the 3.

After I received the Amazon ad for the stockpot from Aaron, I sent him the image of the LM LU ad I had captured earlier. He replied back quickly, noting that RESET was embedded in the cross-line NLP. You can actually find RESET in many tightly packed clusters, plus other words that appear on the usual goddess and sodomite themes.

It was while I was giving this ad my attention that I suddenly noticed how RESET is also TREES. If I had ever noticed that before, I certainly never thought much of it. Trees are everywhere, right? But, the word TREES was highlighted to me in such a way that I knew it was something we had been overlooking, that TREES were being used to signal RESET. When I shared it with Aaron, this Code Trees anagram RESET was validated to us in short order and, as common as trees are, there are occasions where they absolutely are used to signal the reset of time!

As I begin to wrap this up, there's a few more observations that need to be made about John 2.

The things that make the account of the changing of water into wine speak to us about the reset of time were mentioned in the third paragraph. It's the inversions in the narrative and in the structure of the text. The presence of the keystone pattern is compelling too, of course, and the correspondence between the miracle at the wedding feast and the last supper, but the inversions are a very powerful witness. In the exoteric narrative, Jesus did the miracle even though he made it very clear that his time had not yet come, and the immediate result was the making of the observation that the order of the wine quality was notably inverted. Inversions in sequence are inversions in time. I haven't really explained about the inversion in structure, so take a look at the interactive presentation again. Open the 2 comment windows and read the explanations. Close those comment windows and explore for yourself to see how the Author designed the passage. Let the design speak to you alongside the narrative itself.

The inversions in the narrative are both found within the B and B' of the larger context, and both the B and B' are themselves inversions (chiasm). The other structures in A and A', and in C and C' are all parallelism (repeating in the same order). While there is a sub-level of parallelism in B (3b-4b), the sub-level of B' is yet another inversion, a 3+3 chiasm, and this is where our attention is drawn because it's the most granular text (visually reaching out furthest to the right in this style of presentation) of the beautifully symmetrical passage. (Verse 10 is 5 bar-columns wide plus the 6xth level of the lines.) Here, where our attention is drawn, is an inversion where we're informed about the inversion of the wine service! Let it not go unnoticed that the pivot of a chiasm naturally receives emphasis, so the pair of lines that receive that emphasis are these: "first" is paired with, "and when people have drunk freely, then" So, these are they which feature the TIME component!

It's not easy to follow along with technical descriptions but if you patiently explore the interactive highlighting and think about what you're seeing as you read the passage, you should get the impression that inversion is being emphasized. It should also be pretty clear that time itself is important, gleaning this from both the exoteric and esoteric indicators. This miracle was Jesus' first sign, and it has been shown to be matched to what happened at the last supper in a way that ties the beginning and the end together. If you have seen the keystone pattern and reset of time connected elsewhere, you should see the pairing here in John 2 also.

If you're tracking with this, here's something to get excited about! In that highly emphasized B' of verses 9-10, because the pivot of a chiasm naturally receives emphasis, this pair of lines must be important. This line, "and did not know where it came from." matches to this line, "(though the servants who had drawn the water knew)." Think about what that might indicate on the esoteric level. Two words. TIME. MISSION. The servants who drew the water. Obeying Jesus' commands. They knew. They knew! Do you think they kept that quiet as their little secret? Not likely!

A few more points still need to be made. The revealing of the lawless one is something we refer to as the sign to the Bride, and that's a relevant perspective. Here, as in many parables, the mention of a wedding and a bride or bridegroom signals a prophecy about The Bridegroom and the Bride. The master of the feast says to the bridegroom that he did this thing, strangely contrary to the usual convention, as with intent, according to some plan. Jesus did this, and He's the Bridegroom, and He does have a plan in the works!

The water jars were there for "the Jewish rites of purification."

Aaron had mentioned in his initial email how the washing of feet during the "final supper" had come to mind, and we gave that further attention. This cleansing of the Bride has to be given due consideration alongside that. How awesome is our Bridegroom to His beloved?

Finally, in closing, here's something else for you to consider, which may come for you as a sealing of the deal, so to speak. Consider how what follows this passage in John 2 is connected, as an extension, as 2 parts of the same thing. Jesus goes to the temple. What does He do there? As the heading in my Bible labels it, "Jesus Cleanses the Temple." Cleansing, where the point is overtly made that the temple is His body. See the 46 years required to build the temple as an oblique reference to the body of 46 chromosomes. Death and resurrection is a major theme, again, as in the changing of water into wine at the wedding on the third day. Compare the 6 (number of man) water jars that were there for "the Jewish rites of purification." Purification. Cleansing. Water as time and then money as time.

See how the featured quotation in verse 17 is from Psalm 69:9, which very adeptly establishes another bookending. (Read Psalm 69 with the crucifixion in mind) In this comparison it's about the extraordinary zeal, and this resonates with "Zealot" which the word, Cana, is related to, where the water was changed into wine!

What Jesus did in the temple was more than a little controversial. The overturning of the tables of the money changers has implications! (ἀνατρέπω [anatrepó] means, "to overturn, destroy." The preposition ἀνά [ana], as a prefix, denotes, "up, again, back" and in usage, "up, to, anew, back.") Jesus is in the courts of what we have come to recognize as the temple at the center of time (with respect to David Flynn's insightful book). Jesus, who is in truth, The Lord of Time, in His temple or body that the temple and compound represents, turns over the tables of the money changers, which probably scattered their offending money (as time) across the floor where it could not be accounted for in the usual way. Money as time. Overturning, in the temple at the center of time. RESET!

In the symmetrical thematic structure of the passage, this overturning and scattering of the money in the temple at the center of time is described in a special way. The 3 lines of 14a-c are repeated in 15b-16 in reverse order! RESET!
