For Thus Said YHWH , "Sing With Gladness For Ya'acob, And Shout Among The Chief Of The Nations.                    Cry Out, Give Praise, And Say,  'O  YHWH, Save Your People, The Remnant Of Yisrael !'"  Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah 31:7)


The Story of the Jerusalem Rivers Picture

In 1982,  Ron & Jean Amodea were new believers, just coming into the knowledge of bible truths.                       Ron's talent and career as a musician seemed destined to be the work that YHWH would have him perform for the body of believers. The couple started a band and performed gospel music.                                                            They prayed for a focus and mission for their work and were given prophetic utterance  that they  would be known as "Jerusalem Rivers." Jean also had a vision of a Temple  with water flowing from under  a type of Temple .       The vision showed that the flowing waters were in various depths and went toward the east. She also saw foliage and trees surrounding the sides of the river of water. Excited to have had such an unusual experience,  she relayed the details of the vision to a fellow congregant and artist, Renaldo Epworth. Epworth felt led to paint an oil painting of the vision, carefully interpreting the details of the vision.  

At that time, as new believers,  Ron & Jean did not understand the depiction in the picture. They knew that there were no rivers in Jerusalem.   They were  puzzled  by the name and vision, but felt impressed to begin to study all they could about Jerusalem, Israel and the  Hebraic roots of  their faith. In the process they also studied and explored traditional Israeli music.

As they began a search of the scripture and more in depth bible study,  they discovered that the Nevi'im (prophets)  wrote of a Temple where rivers of living waters would flow  eastward from under the  threshold!  They were amazed with wonder and awe to discover  verses that specifically  confirmed and explained the picture given in the vision!  Please take the time to read the wonderful scripture verses below that Ron & Jean were shown by the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) and refresh yourself as you drink of the living waters of Ha Emet (the truth)!

Truly YHWH was guiding them in the path they should take in order to use their talents for His glory and to edify believers. Through the experience, YHWH also put within them a heart of love for their Jewish brothers and sisters.

Jerusalem Rivers ~~ Naharim Yahrushalayim

all verses taken from "The Scriptures" (c) 1998 by The Institute for Scripture Research (Pty) Ltd

"And in that day it shall be that living waters flow from Yahrushalayim. half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea, in summer a swell as in winter."    ~Zekaryah (Zech.) 14:8 


"And it shall be in that day that the mountains drip with new wine, and the hills flow with milk. And all the streams of Yehudah shall be flooded with water, and a fountain from the House of YHWH and water  the  wadi Shittim."     ~ Yo’el (Joel) 3:18


"And He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of Elohim and         of the Lamb. In the middle of the street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."   ~  Rev. 22:1-2      


" And He turned me back to the door of the House. And look, water was flowing from under the threshold of the House toward the east, for he house faced east, and the water was flowing from under the right side of the house, from the south of the altar. And He led me out by way of the north gate, and took me round on the outside to the outer gate facing east. And look, water trickling out on the right side. As the man went out of the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he made me pass over into water, water to the ankles. And He measured one thousand and he made me pass over into water, water to the knees. And he measured one thousand, and he made me pass over, water to the loins. And he measured one thousand, a stream that I was unable to pass over, for the water had risen, water to swim, a stream that is not passed over. And he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?" And he led me and brought me back to  the bank of the stream. When I returned, then look, along the bank of the stream were very many trees on one side and the other. And he said to me, "These waters are flowing toward the eastern country, and go down into the Arabah, and enter the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters shall be healed. And it shall be that every swarming creature, wherever the stream goes, shall live. And there shall be very many fish, for these waters shall go there, and they are healed. And wherever the stream flows all shall live ... And by the bank of the stream on both sides, grow all kinds of trees used for food, whose leaves do not wither and fruit do not fail, They bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the set-apart place. And their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for healing."    ~ Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 47:1-9, 12
