Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The movement of the water, then, suggests the Lord’s passion, which occurred by the Jewish nation being moved and stirred up.
