But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 5:24, English Standard Version
WATER RELATED
BIBLICAL QUOTES:
[ Referenced from the King James Version (KJV) ]
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
-John 7:38
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
-John 4:14
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
-John 3:5
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
-Isaiah 43:2
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
-Exodus 17:6
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
-Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
-Matthew 5:6
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
-Psalm 119:136
...A Discussion on:
WATERS ABOVE
THE FIRMAMENT

(Used with permission)
A commonly understood theory for the waters above the firmament is that those waters relate to the clouds within the expanse. But just because this could be a common sense interpretation, is it really the right one?
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
-Genesis 1:6-7
What if the correct interpretation here is the actual literal one? It is stated that the firmament was built into the 'midst' of the waters. Meaning that there was a dividing line drawn within the waters themselves as the seperation begun.
This would be the equivalent of filling a kitchen sink and turning a bowl upside down and submerging it right to the bottom.
This, therefore, begs the question:
Are the Waters above the firmament as sacred as that contained in the River of Life?
Are these waters simply ethereal in nature or are they more physical in form?
Is this what allows got to move or feel within that realm?
Is it what allows GOD to be everywhere and to know everything?
Does this mean that Heaven literally exists within the Waters above the firmament?
Whatever the answer, it cannot be ignored that we quite literally are within GOD's creation.
