We read of the several rivers in Scripture, even from the garden of Eden. And as in those hot countries nothing was so highly valued, it is no wonder that the sacred writers made use of them so often figuratively. Hence we read of "the river of life, and the river of pleasures," and the like. But the most striking are those expressions in which all the persons of the GODHEAD are described under this metaphor. "There is a river, (saith the psalmist) the streams thereof make glad the city of God." (Psalms 46:4) God the Father is thus described, Jeremiah 2:13; Psalms 65:9; God the Son is thus described, Song of Song of Solomon 4:15; Zechariah 13:1; and God the Holy Ghost, John 7:38 and John 4:14.
