The Formal Theorem

\iiint div = \oint flux

Analytical Intuition.

Divergence Theorem is the Conservation of Source. Total outflow through a surface equals total expansion inside. Imagine a balloon: if no air is created inside, total flux through the rubber is zero. Foundation of fluid continuity.
CAUTION

Institutional Warning.

Divergence is a scalar (IF something expands); flux is a vector (HOW MUCH crosses).
