things

neither

reconsider

the

ancient

things

.

Behold

,

I

make

new

the

things

which

shall

now

arise

,

and

ye

shall

know

it

;

and

I

will

make

in

the

desert

a

way

,

and

rivers

in

a

dry

place

,

to

give

drink

to

my

chosen

race

,

my

people

whom

I

acquired

,

that

they

should

show

forth

my

praises

.

”

In

the

same

also

:

“

If

they

thirst

,

He

will

lead

them

through

the

deserts

;

He

will

bring

forth

water

from

the

rock

;

the

rock

shall

be

cloven

,

and

the

water

shall

flow

:

and

my

people

shall

drink

.

”

Moreover

,

in

the

Gospel

according

to

Matthew

,

John

says

:

“

I

indeed

baptize

you

with

water

unto

repentance

:

but

He

that

cometh

after

me

is

mightier

than

I

,

whose

shoes

I

am

not

worthy

to

bear

;

He

shall

baptize

you

with

the

Holy

Ghost

,

and

with

fire

.

”

Also

according

to

John

:

“

Except

a

man

be

born

of

water

,

and

of

the

Spirit

,

he

cannot

enter

into

the

kingdom

of

God

.

For

that

which

is

born

of

the

flesh

is

flesh

,

and

that

which

is

born

of

the

Spirit

is

spirit

.
