The water that Yah'shua changed was not the water we think of, The water of purification was used to remove sin under the old covenant. Yah'shua by this miracle pointed to His power to remove sin. Yah'shua demonstrated that He was greater than the ashes of the Red Heifer. Later He would become the Pesach Lamb,
For all those who have wondered why Yah'shua changed water into wine
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
when He could have just gone poof; the answer lies in NUMBERS 19.
it was not drinking water. It was the water of purification as detailed in NUMBERS 19.
By the act of changing the water of purification into wine, Yah'shua
ended the OT means of removing sin.
This is the beginning of the New covenant as outlined in JEREMIAH 31:31
removing sin forever to all who would look to Him and call on His NAME
Yah'shua (YHvH is my salvation) for salvation.
Exactly, Excellent post... people think of it as drinking water.. it was actually the purification water for the ritual cleaning. After He changed them to wine they became unclean ceremonially. He was now going to be the cleansing living water
John 2: 1 1 On the third day there was a wedding 2 in Cana 3 in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." 4 4 (And) Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you." 6 5 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." 6 So they took it. 9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, "Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now." 11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs 7 in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
The ceremonial jugs were filled with drinking water. There may be an element of allegory associated with purification, but since you have posted that God did not engage in allegory (ie the length of time for each 'day' of Creation), why would you speculate on this?
This was a Jewish wedding. Major partying. With appropriate amounts of alcohol.
