The Savior takes advantage of the two biggest ceremonies of The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot): the water libation on the altar creating a river of water running down the steps of the temple and the golden candelabra lighting the streets of Jerusalem.
He stands and declares, "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38). The Greek word for belly here is koilia and is the same word used in John 3 for womb. Lost in the translation is the fact that the pronoun his is reflexive and refers to the previous pronoun me. Thus, it's likely the Savior's belly (or womb) and not the believer spoken of.
This image of watery Spirit clarified in the next verse, running out of the Savior's belly, or womb, is a clear representation of spiritual rebirth, or being born of the Spirit. The detailed explanation can be found in the Book of Mormon:
"And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you" (Mosiah 5:7).
PERSONAL APPLICATION: A Christ-centered life will allow each of us to become a spiritually begotten son or daughter of God.
