Entry 15
2Chr 29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
The first level of repentance is shown here as "the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD". The second level of repentance is shown as "the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron". We all need to bring our filthiness to Christ.
The Brook of Kidron, carried away the filth. It is a power greater than and other than man, other than the Priests and Levites. The Brook of Kidron represents a deep cleansing repentance, that can be brought on by none other than Jesus Christ Himself.
Jesus Christ the Rock and the Water
Let us take a look briefly at JESUS CHRIST the "ROCK" and JESUS CHRIST the LIFE giving and cleansing "WATER".
SMITE THE ROCK / WATER COMES FORTH
Exo 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Num 20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
ROCK SPLIT / CLAVE
Ps 78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
Ps 78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Isaiah 48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
FLINT
Deu 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Isa 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
Isa 50:7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
WATER CAME FORTH FROM THE SPLIT / CLAVE SIDE OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS
John 19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
THAT ROCK IN THE WILDERNESS WAS CHRIST
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
JESUS CHRIST WILL SPLIT THE ROCK WHEN HE COMES AND HE WILL CLEANSE THE WHOLE EARTH
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
THE CLEANSING WORK OF CHRIST
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Jeremiah calls for repentance in the spirit of contrition.
Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Now is the time to start doing our part. We must do our part and the LORD will do HIS.
