Two things seem important to cover first in this Passage of John the Apostle:
1) the prophetic time table… from a literal application, as opposed to the more typical application we discussed in the last lesson discovered in the Feast of Tabernacles
2) the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as it relates to the Jew (being that it can be seen from Genesis to Revelation that God’s intent was to baptize the Jews with the Holy Spirit).

What Christ loudly declared on that Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles in the first place and final place has to do with what the prophets declare about Israel and their Messiah. Christians have for the most part only related this ‘declaration’ of Christ as to having meaning primarily applicable to themselves, in one of about a half dozen ways and being very limited in view, due to the lack of understanding of the overall Salvation Plan of God that must take all Scripture from Genesis to Revelation into account for Truth.

The ritual practiced by the Jews at the Time of Christ seems to be the catalyst for Jesus’ standing and loud proclamation of Himself. The ritual consisted of a priest taking an empty Golden chalice/vessel that would hold 2 pints or so and carrying it in happy procession down to the pool of Siloam, where it was filled and then brought back up with rejoicing to the Altar and poured out along with a wine offering together in conjunction with the Morning Sacrifice Service. This was followed by the reading of the ‘Hallel’ consisting of the 113th through 118th Psalms. This is thought to be Typical of the Wilderness experience. Typical of the blessing of water, agriculturally speaking, and Typical of the Messiah and His bringing the blessings of God. Some Rabbis taught the ritual was representative of the Messiah in His Day Who will pour out gifts of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 12:3 being the main Passage given that was to legitimize the ritual.

The people now have moved back into their houses. The booths had been torn down. It was on the last Great Day of the Feast, the Eighth Day, when Jesus cried out. After which the Jews no doubt in amazement reasoned and argued among themselves… ‘He is the Prophet promised by God.’ Others said, ‘He is the Messiah.’ Others argued ignorantly, ‘He could not be the Messiah; the Messiah must be of the seed of David and be born in Bethlehem.’ Some thought He was a deceiver of the people and would have taken Him…but no man laid hands on Him. “Never man spake like this man!” (Verse 46)

VERSE 28-36 “Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me (He hath sent Me according to His Timetable prophetically revealed and Written in Moses, the Psalms, and the Prophets.
Galatians 4:4-5… “But when the fulness of the time (Written of in Scripture) was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”) Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour (that hour in accordance with Written prophecy) was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? (If it had not been for the fear and teachings of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodian leaders, many would have been open to receive Jesus as their Messiah.) The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?”

Christ’s Words here strongly hinted to the Jews the soon coming woeful realities of prophecy that they… knewest not the time of thy visitation that their King had come in the time and manner prophesied. (Read Daniel 9:24&25, Zechariah 9:9, and Luke 19:30-40… “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression.....
