John Chapter 2

IN CONTEXT

From my book The Testimony of Yahuchanon by Rav Sha’ul

Verses 1-5: Yahusha’s ministry begins with his marriage to Mary of Bethany (also known as Miriam Magdalene) as Yahusha “the Groom Comes out of his Chambers to Run the course of a weddingPsalm 19. This wedding is a Physical to Spiritual Parallel of The Marriage Supper of The Lamb where Yahusha pours out Living Water/New Wine.

1 Yahusha was marrying Miriam/Mary of Bethany in Cana of Galilee on the Third Day of the week (Physical to Spiritual Parallel of when the Bearer of Living Water and Manna Mikveh’s the Earth; on the Third Day/Kingdom Reign, the Age of AQUARIUS, after the Age of PISCES/2 Prophetic Days when he paid the dowry for his Bride). Miriam, the mother of Yahusha, was there in charge of the wedding activities; 2 with Yahusha and the Disciples he invited to the wedding. 3 Miriam, the mother of the Groom (Yahusha), noticed they were deficient of wine and went to the Groom and informed him so he could bring out more wine (In Hebrew weddings, it is the responsibility of the Groom to provide the wine; and it is the responsibility of the Mother of the Groom to watch over the wine supply because the Groom was busy with the wedding activities). 4 Yahusha said: what can I do (g1473 – ‘what have I to do’) for you (g4771to you’)? Mother (g3384), show to me (g1473 – ‘to me’) which (g5101what, which’) wine skins; and also (g2532‘also’) how many so I can refill them? I have limited time (g5610 – ‘limited time’), I (g1473 – ‘I’) do not have to be present (g2240 – ‘be present’) in the wedding activities just yet. 5 His mother said to the servants of the wedding; do whatever my son, the Groom, says to do.

Verses 6-12: Yahusha begins ushering in The Spiritual Kingdom through Physical Parallels (miracles). Turning Living Water into “New Wine/the Spirit” as Yahusha is the Bearer of Living Water and Manna (AQUARIUS) in The Heavenly Scroll as prophesied in Isaiah 44:3.

6 Yahusha noticed there were six water pots of stone standing there used for ceremonial purification of the Yahudaim, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Yahusha said to them: Fill the water pots with Living (clean) Water. So, they filled them up to the brim. 8 Then he said to them: Now draw some out and take it to my mother (Miriam) who is in charge of the wedding feast; so they did as he asked. 9 When the one in charge of the wedding feast (Miriam the mother of the Groom) had tasted the water that was made wine (only the servants knew what Yahusha had done, Miriam did not know where it came from this was Yahusha’s First miracle), the one in charge of the wedding feast (Miriam) called the Yahusha the Bridegroom. 10 And said to him; Every man sets out the choicest wine at the beginning; then, when the guests have had plenty to drink, they set out the lesser quality wine. But you have reserved the choicest wine until now.

11 This act at Cana of Galilee was only the beginning of his Acts of Power, and word spread and Yahusha became well known; this strengthened his Disciple’s belief in Yahusha; convincing them to proclaim Yahusha was The Messiah (One foretold in The Heavenly Scroll). 12 Yahusha went down to Capernaum along with his mother (Miriam), his brothers, and his Disciples; but they did not remain and stayed only a couple of days.

Verses 13-22: Yahusha cleanses the Outer Courts with Zeal for Yahuah's House

13 Now Yahusha went up to Yerushalayim/Jerusalem for Passover, 14 And found those who were selling the sacrificial animals (oxen, sheep, and turtledoves) for a profit, along with others sitting and changing money for the offerings at a profit in the sacred precincts of The Temple. 15 Yahusha had made a whip of small cords, then drove them all out of The Temple Outer Courts along with the sheep and oxen and overturned the tables where the money was being exchanged for profit; 16 And said to those who sold turtledoves: Take these things away! Do not make my Father's House a house of merchandise!

17 Then his Disciples remembered that it was Written: The zeal for Your House has eaten me up (Psalm 69:9). 18 Then the Yahudaim confronted Yahusha, and said to him; What sign can you show us that you have authority to do these things? 19 Yahusha answered, and said to them: Destroy this Temple, and in three days it will be raised up (The Sign of Yahnah/Jonah Matthew 12:38-45).

20 The Yahudaim then said; It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you will raise it up in three days? 21 But Yahusha was speaking of The Temple of his Body. 22 Now when Yahusha was raised from the dead (as the Chief Cornerstone of the Final Kingdom Temple of Yahuah Ephesians 2:20), his Disciples remembered that he had said this to the Yahudaim; and they believed the Scripture (in Psalm 69:9) was a prophecy speaking of Yahusha.

Verses 23-25: Miracles are not proof, they are deceiving!

23 When Yahusha was in Yerushalayim/Jerusalem during The Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread many believed and entered into the covenant that bears his Name (The Yahushaic Covenant); trusted him because of his power, when they saw the Acts of Power that he performed. 24 However, Yahusha did not himself trust in Acts of Power because he knew the heart of man (that only a wicked and adulterous generation requires such things as “proof” Matthew 16:4), 25 Yahusha did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in the heart of man (he only needed The Word of Yahuah’s Testimony in The Heavenly Scroll which is greater than man’s testimony on Earth… 1 John  5:9).
