But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matthew 6:23)
Just as the "sun" (Son) radiates light (Love) and warmth (hope) so does "darkness" radiate doom and gloom
How great is that darkness?
Producing fruit after its own kind ..... Light produces a seed of light (of which we are) ..... Darkness produces a seed of darkness (of which we were)
First comes the natural then the spiritual (were then are)
He is the brightness of his glory ..... the "his" was added to the text by men
He is the brightness of glory ..... In other words ......
Christ is the brightness (truth and hope) of glory (Love) ..... He is His Fathers Son
Ezekiel 38;9-19
just because you see the darkness coming..does not mean you have no light in you...even Jesus saw it approaching...as do we
see it coming up over the land.
the Prince of this world comes[darkness] and he has nothing in me......
he will not stop the truth and salvation of all men by Jesus Christ..............though he use men in darkness to come against
the testimony of Jesus Christ...he will not prevail.
don't you think in Hitler's day they did not see the darkness approaching and coming up over the land?
Revelation of Christ........... Rev 20;6-14
I don't know if you know or not ..... but I was just sharing what was brought to the forefront of my mind this morning
Blessings
you will be hated by all men because of my name..that was not Jesus sowing 'doom and gloom" it was Him speaking truth
to prepare His people...Matthew 24...........earthquakes..wars,rumours of wars.....etc..it was not Him spreading doom and gloom
but preparing His people to endure unto the end. when ye see all these things occurring..lift yourselves erect...your deliverance
draws near.......
some of these things is like.......a man see's a large stone rolling down the mountain....and calls out to a group of people
gathered in it's path....'a boulder is heading towards you..move' and the people call back at the man and put their hands
over their ears and say..'don't tell us such gloom and doom things!" it is a sunny day..and you speak dark things....."..
but when the dark shadow of the boulder come upon them..they will take note.
.....and a stone not cut out by human hands will strike the image at it's feet..............
ps..I know :friendstu: this is not against you.... :HeartThrob: this is an ehortation to prepare His children
many are waking up..[the Bridegroom cometh] and all 10 churches awoke.........some will mistakenly think what they see is
the Lord's wrath on man...and be calling down curses on the men God has Blessed........they will not recognize it as ......
and Satan become wrathful because he knew his time is short....and 'then' God's wrath come[when the nations became wrathful]
when God's wrath comes it is always against the kingdom of darkness..not men...........and is for DELIVERANCE OF MANKind.
the name Kerry..means darkness/dark one...the name Daeish[another name for Isil] means dark one/darkness..he that sows discord
among his brothers...and Isil has said they will cut out the tongue of anyone who calls them that name.
so..you have the blind[darkness] leading the blind[darkness] and they shall both fall in a ditch.
but Arise shine..thy light has come..see..gross darkness covers the earth..but the Lord shines on thee.
