The Hidden Prophecy in Jesus Walking on Water: A Revelation of His Divinity, the Second Coming, and the Rapture

 

“And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.”
— Matthew 14:25 (KJV)

Many see the account of Jesus walking on water as simply a demonstration of His miraculous power. But what if there’s far more to this miracle than we’ve realized? What if this act wasn’t only about calming a storm—but also a direct prophetic message revealing His divine identity, pointing to His second coming, and even foreshadowing the rapture?

Let’s break down the Scripture, connect the prophetic dots, and discover the layers hidden beneath the surface of the water.

1. Walking on Water: The Revelation of Divine Identity

In Job 9:8, the oldest book in the Bible, it is written:

“Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.”
— Job 9:8 (KJV)

Only God walks on water.

So when Jesus walked on the sea in Matthew 14:25, He wasn’t just demonstrating authority over nature—He was fulfilling an ancient declaration of divinity. He was revealing that He is the “I AM”—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

“But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.”
— Matthew 14:27 (KJV)

In the Greek, the phrase translated “It is I” is Ego Eimi, which literally means “I AM.” This echoes the words God spoke to Moses from the burning bush:

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM.”
— Exodus 3:14 (KJV)

Jesus was not simply calming His disciples. He was declaring His divinity, unmistakably tying Himself to the identity of Yahweh.

2. The Storm as a Picture of the Great Tribulation

Throughout the Bible, storm imagery is often used to describe judgment, chaos, and tribulation. The storm the disciples faced in Matthew 14 can be viewed as a prophetic type of the coming Tribulation period—what Jeremiah 30:7 calls “the time of Jacob’s trouble.”

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.”
— Jeremiah 30:7 (KJV)

In this picture:

  • The disciples = a representation of Israel.

  • The storm = the Great Tribulation.

  • Jesus walking toward them in the storm = His Second Coming.

Jesus appears at the height of the storm—not to avoid it, but to deliver His people from it.

3. Peter on the Water: A Picture of the Church Age

Peter’s step onto the water is often emphasized as a lesson in personal faith—and rightly so. But there’s more. Prophetically, Peter represents the Church—those who walk by faith, not by sight.

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”
— Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)

As long as Peter’s eyes were on Christ, he walked above the storm. But the moment he focused on the waves, he began to sink. Isn’t this the testimony of many in the Church today?

Even in our moments of fear or failure, Jesus is faithful:

“And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him...”
— Matthew 14:31 (KJV)

Even when our faith is weak, Jesus does not let go.

4. The Instant Arrival: A Hidden Rapture Clue

One of the most overlooked details is found in John 6:21, a parallel account of this same miracle:

“Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.”
— John 6:21 (KJV)

Immediately. The moment Jesus stepped into the boat, they reached their destination. This is a powerful foreshadowing of the rapture of the Church.

Compare this with:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV)

Just as Jesus rescued Peter from sinking, and just as His presence brought instant arrival, so too will Christ come for His Bride, and we will be caught up—suddenly and supernaturally—to meet Him in the air.

5. The Message: Are You Ready?

This miracle is more than just a story. It is a living parable—a declaration of Christ’s identity, a warning of coming tribulation, a glimpse of the rapture, and a call to unwavering faith.

Jesus is the “I AM.”

He walked upon the chaos of this world, not only to save His disciples but to declare His rule over creation and eternity.

A Powerful Call to Repentance

If storms are overwhelming your life, you need more than temporary relief—you need rescue from judgment. Just like the disciples, we all are powerless to calm the sea on our own. You need Jesus.

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out...”
— Acts 3:19 (KJV)

Today is the day to get out of the boat, fix your eyes on Christ, and follow Him in faith.

The Gospel Message: Jesus Saves

  1. Recognize your sin.
    “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23

  2. Acknowledge that Christ died for you.
    “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

  3. Believe in His resurrection.
    “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” — Romans 10:9

  4. Call upon Him.
    “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13

🕊️ Final Encouragement:

Whether in the storm or on solid ground, the “I AM” is with you. He is coming soon.

Stay watchful, stay faithful, and fix your eyes on Him.
We’ll see you in the clouds.

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses. When life i...
