Shalom Searchinmyroots and Jason, thank you both for your comments. You are probably right that most would think the words "eternal life" sounds like traditional christian theology. Still, the whole point of Ismq's thread is to show WHY "Jesus" is NOT the Messiah for the Jews. In proving this, it is very important to show there is a difference between what water symbolizes, and what living water symbolizes in explaining WHY traditional christianity's "Jesus" is not the Messiah for the Jews. If water can symbolize the Torah (as midrash and Rabbi's indicate), and the Torah IS life (as HaShem indicates), then does not abundant, flowing, fresh "living water" symbolize everlasting life?
Consider Daniel 12:1-2
(1) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
(2) And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.
I would hope you find it very interesting that those who are found WRITTEN in the book will be delivered, and many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall AWAKE...some to EVERLASTING LIFE. When you compare that to what Rashi had to say about Jeremiah 17:13 of those who FORSAKE the SOURCE of LIVING WATER, in that they would be WRITTEN (marked out) in/on the nether graves of the earth (that they die). Would not this be a clear indication that the LIVING WATER is a symbol for "everlasting life," and those who do not forsake the SOURCE of this everlasting life will continue living, and not die (they will be WRITTEN in the BOOK of the LIVING-Psa 69:28, instead of the earth)? Just some things to think about. Blessings in The Name, ImAHebrew.
