Jesus, River, Light

ZECHARIAH 14:6-8

6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 

7But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

Perhaps in relation to these verses, the Jews lit lights and poured water, during the Feast of Tabernacles. On one such occasion Jesus declared Himself, with a loud voice, to be the giver of the true water, and also the light of the world.

So JESUS Himself is the ultimate fulfilment of Zechariah's prophecy. The theme of the river is repeated in the Book of Revelation.
