Gospel of John gives a short schrift to the Last Supper with this phrase 'And supper being ended' in ch.13.v.2 gives us instead an entire chapter to the First Supper We shall focus on it as it helps us under stand the spiritual understanding to the new earth. Faith is what connects the world unseen with the world made to appear so the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ ushers for believers a new awareness of the word, "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." (Ps.12,7) The Law of the Spirit is implied in the whole number Seven and whosever is sanctified by 'thy word is truth' and believes has faith. The earth abides forever because the Son is the heir of all things and has a face. So every heart may grow in the knowledge (2 Cor.4.6) There is only one speech there, "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."
Speaking of the sign of Jonah we have from the ministry of Jonah a new Nineveh that shall sit on judgment over this generation. As was with the old world so shall this generation going to their perdition. It helps us give a context to the resurrection of Jesus who shares supper with the disciples who just had come in. "As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread." ( Jn 21.9)
Where did the bread and the fire come in? In the book of Job we have this clue, "As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire." As a book end to the mount of transfiguration here we have the significance of the land as new earth. The Holy Spirit instructs us to the significance of the new earth by isolating their everyday world. Similar to the temptation of Jesus by isolating the every day world so there is a face in both cases, Satan tempted Jesus who was famished after his fasting but the word of God,'purified by seven times.' Who set up the fire of coals, and bread?
