ON JOHN 9:11
According to
bibleq.com..., Siloam
is mentioned only four places in the Bible, and Shiloh which is identical or almost identical to the Hebrew word for Siloam appears very few times in
the Bible as well:
"he doth build it, and cover it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars, and the wall of the pool of Siloah, to the garden of the king, and
unto the steps that are going down from the city of David. [who is a type of Christ the "king of kings", as I show in Part Two]" (Nehemiah 3:15)
“Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam [symbol of Twin Tower #2, which is a symbol of Jesus] fell and killed them: do you think that they
were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
- Jesus to the people (Luke 13:4-5)
John 9:11 [THIS NUMBER IS NOT COINCIDENTAL, FOR "SILOAM" APPEARS IN ONLY FOUR PLACES IN THE BIBLE!]: "A man named Jesus made clay and applied it to
my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash'; and having gone and washed I saw again." [The pool of Siloam is a symbol of Jesus who
"washed us by His blood" (Revelation 1:5) & who enables us to see the truth because He is the "light of the world." (John 8:12) This
interpretation is confirmed by the fact that water is a symbol of God, as I prove in Part One.]
John 9:7: "Wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, 'sent'."
John 9:3-4: "Jesus answered...'It behoves me to work the works of Him who sent me.' " The Latin Vulgate translates the word [Shiloh] as "he who
is to be sent," in allusion to the Messiah. (

"Siloam is an ancient Greek name derived from the more ancient Hebrew: Shiloah." (
en.wikipedia.org...)
"Siloam Tunnel (Tunnel of Shiloh)." (

Genesis 49:10-12: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh [Jesus the "king of kings" (Revelation
19)] come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his
garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. [Jesus has an ass's colt
when He comes to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. He is described in Revelation 19 as washed in blood and with eyes of fire, when He returns with a sword in
His mouth to destroy all His enemies after the Great Tribulation.]
Jeremiah 7:12: For go ye now unto My place which was in Shiloh, where I caused My name to dwell at the first. [The place is symbolic of Jesus, who
says the Father is in Him.]
1 Samuel 3:21: And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
"Shiloh" is actually a composite of two Hebrew words: shai and loh or in English, "tribute" and "to him."
(
en.wikipedia.org...) [In Revelation 21 & Isaiah 60, tribute comes to God in the New Jerusalem from all the nations.]
Shiloh & Siloam sound remarkably like shalom, the Hebrew word for peace, & Jesus is called the "Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:7)
