"In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."
This fountain is opened from heaven and it is also specific to Israel. We shall find out why it must be so. There is only one measure in heaven and earth which is that of Jesus Christ. He is the Mediator whose ministry of Reconciliation set up the House for Prayer for all nations, "according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."(Re.21:17). He is the Man component in the Fellowship of God with Man. Whoever is redeemed from the earth has this certainty.(2 Co.5:1-2) It is 'groaning' and not grabbing prosperity and praise of men. 'I in Jesus' so when we speak it is the same spirit of reconciliation that is expressed.(2 Co.5:20). Israel has to be reconciled because of the everlasting gospel is established along with everlasting covenant. So the ministry of Jesus from the earth is finished. He has his ministry from heaven which evidently included the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Church age began from that point.
Towards the end of the earthly ministry Jesus explained to his disciples one reason of his returning to his Father."The Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."
"And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:/And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:/Of sin, because they believe not on me;"( John 16:7-9)
