From what I remember water is used as a purifying element?(correct me if I'm wrong)...in the Old testament, Water is used to purify ......
here is but a few///
Water as a symbol of life as well as a means of cleansing, or purification, is of particular importance in the Old Testament (see Reymond, L’eau, sa
Vie, et sa Signification dans l’Ancien Testament). It was created on the first day (Genesis 1:2, 6-8). The Spirit of God was hovering over the face
of the waters (Genesis 1:2). The earth was founded upon the waters (Genesis 1:6-7, 9-10). God commanded the water to bring out an abundance of living
souls (Genesis 1:20-21). In some sense the element is close to God (cf. Psalms 17; 28:3; 76:17, 20; 103:3; 148:4). God is compared with the rain
(Hosea 6:3). Water brings life (cf. Exodus 15:23-35; 17:2-7; Psalms 1:3; 22:2; 41:2; 64:10; 77:20; Isaiah 35:6-7; 58:11), and joy (Psalm 45:5). It is
a powerful purifying element and can destroy evil and enemies as in the stories of the Flood and the flight of Israel from Egypt (Genesis 3:1-15;
Exodus 14:1-15:21).
Nostradamus practised looking into water and used the images he saw to predict events.
He also saw black shadows that gave him predictions........a form of occult practise.
As for the original poster on crystal formations and other similar like practises, it is nothing new.....
Coffee cup reading,
Tea leaves,
Astrology,
Palm reading,
card/tarot readings
crystal balls and the like.......
All are in the same category.......nothing new of what was from the Old .
