Healing Well of Miriam

Have you ever watched the morning dew on the grass? Even if there was no rain the night before, the moisture from the air collects over the surface of the ground.   As the sun moves in the sky, the rays hit the droplets from different angles, and the sparkling beads shine the rainbow’s colors, each shimmering a new color moment by moment.  Such an amazing display, like some sort of fairy dance!  In the quiet of the cool morning air, its beauty is mesmerizing.

Water is a very interesting element in Creation, absolutely essential to life on this planet, for the bodies of most lifeforms are primarily made up of water.  Water is a conduit of information.  The Tree of Life was in the midst of the Garden of Eden, and from Eden flowed the primordial river that divided into four headwaters: Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates (Genesis 2:10-14).  The waters of these primordial rivers are precursors of the waters that will flow from the Third Temple (Ezekiel 47:1-12).  Ezekiel says the waters form a river through the Kidron Valley, following a route to the Dead Sea.  Fruit trees grow along the shores of the Kidron Valley that bear new fruit every month and have healing properties in their leaves.  Like the waters flowing from Eden, these numinous waters carry the information of Life—healing and restoring everything they touch.  Suddenly, fish are able to live in the Dead Sea, which had been impossible before due to the heavy mineral content of the water.  All the waters of the earth are sweetened (healed) through contact with this water.  The dead zones of oceans will be able to support fish and sea-life once again!

Dew and rain is condensation of moisture in the air, which is from evaporation of water on the earth—streams, rivers, lakes, oceans.  Some of the information in the air comes from that evaporation, including the pollution of those bodies of water.  That moisture is also contaminated with pollution in the air.  That is how there is acid rain as well as radiation from accidents at nuclear plants like Chernobyl and Fukushima.  This contaminates the rains and thereby, the soil and the plants growing there.  The numinous waters from the Temple will purify the waters of the earth, but also the air.  The rains that fall from clouds filled with this new water will nourish the soil, restoring the plant-life to its intended health and beauty.  

With all this in mind, we think about the dew. 

May Your dead come to life, may my corpses arise.
Awake and shout for joy, you who rest in the dirt!
For Your dew is like the dew that [revives] vegetation. ~Isaiah 26:19

This dew “is like the dew that revives vegetation.”  This dew is the same numinous liquid that flowed from Eden, the same healing waters that will flow from the Temple.  Isaiah is saying that this dew will be used to revive the dead.  The “normal” function of dew’s reviving vegetation was a small prelude to its function in the days of Redemption.  Resurrection of the dead is the ultimate healing.  So, if this wondrous dew can do that, imagine its effect on not just vegetation, but on animals and humans!  The whole planet will be renewed!  It will once again be as in the time of Creation. 

Can you let your mind go there and let your mind’s eye see that world?  Then realize that this is our real world even now!
