This post was birthed out of a conversation I was having with a friend yesterday. My heart's desire is that all men may see the light.
The true light that lights every man that comes into the world.
Eph 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:9 AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE what is the fellowship of the mystery, WHICH FROM THE BEGINING OF THE WORLD BEEN HID in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Gen 1:1 In the beginning (Strongs #H7225: rêshı̂yth) God created the heaven and the earth. [English transliteration: Bereishit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’aretz]
Before the foundation of the world Eloheem had a predetermined plan for mankind.
His fiscal creation shows his plan for all to see with spiritual eyes.
Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
God desires men to know his plan from the beginning of creation
but they are carnal made out of earth. O earth, earth, earth, hear
the word of the Lord.
Jer 22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Deu 32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Deu 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Deu 32:3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
I was declaring the WORD OF THE LORD to my friend about God's
creation speaking about the lesser light the moon having no light
in itself but he declared yes it does you can see it in the daytime.
That is not the truth it is a lie that is believed to be true. What has
me troubled is people are following shadows and believe they are following light.
Where does the moon get its light from?
This quote is from bible hub.
The moon does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects sunlight off its surface. This reflection is why the moon appears bright in the night sky. The moon's surface is composed of regolith and rock, which scatter and reflect sunlight. The moon's phases, such as the full moon and the new moon, are a result of the moon's position relative to the sun and the Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon, causing it to appear dark.
The Primary Source of Illumination
The fundamental source of all visible “moonlight” is the Sun, the only self-luminous object in our solar system. Stars generate light through nuclear fusion, acting as primary light sources. In contrast, the Moon, like the Earth and all other planets, is an inert celestial body that does not produce light energy.
There is many more 2 is enough witnesses this quote from science in sights.
The Moon acts as a passive reflector, intercepting intense solar radiation. When sunlight strikes the lunar surface, a portion of that energy is scattered and redirected back toward Earth. This reflected sunlight gives the Moon its bright appearance against the dark backdrop of space.
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the HEAVEN to give light UPON THE EARTH: and it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY, and the LESSER LIGHT TO RULE THE NIGHT: he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the HEAVEN to give LIGHT UPON THE EARTH,
Gen 1:18 And TO, RULE OVER THE DAY AND THE NIGHT, and to DEVIDE LIGHT FROM DARKNESS: and God saw that it was good.
Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth would set us free. He most assuredly
he is the way truth and life and his words spoken are spirit and life as well.
Therefore, we cannot separate the Word of God from the written scripture.
We must remember the sum of God's word is truth, and we are never to speak above
what is written are lean to our own understanding.
Psa 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And to the age is every judgment of Thy righteousness!
1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
In other words, we must have 2 or 3 scriptures as a witness. What does God say about us hearing and understanding? WE ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE. That is frighting because GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
Rom 1:20 For the INVISIBLE THINGS of him from the CREATION OF THE WORLD are CLEARLY SEEN, being UNDERSTOOD by the THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXECUSE:
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Yes, it is just like he says it is ALL THE SCRIPTURS are SIGNIFIED in this way they are many symbolic things-numbers, colors, animals, trees, seas, and so on let's see what the BREAD OF LIFE has to say.
1Jn 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God IS LIGHT, and in him is NO DARKNESS at all.
1Jn 1:6 IF WE SAY that we have FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM, and WALK IN DARKNESS, WE LIE, and DO NOT THE TRUTH:
1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in THE LIGHT, as he is IN THE LIGHT, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
THIS is my daily BREAD.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY, and the LESSER LIGHT TO RULE THE NIGHT: he made the stars also.
Of course, the lesser light is the moon, and the greater light is the sun. But these things THAT ARE MADE SIGNIFY something so what do these SYMBOLS signify? The DAY and the NIGHT and what do the DAY and NIGHT signify in scripture? We must take the SUM of God's word, and we also NEED 2 OR 3 WITNESSES IN SCRIPTURE TO form a verdict, and we ARE NOT to LEAN ON OUR OWN
UNDERSTANDING but allow his WORD to direct our paths.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are NOT IN DARKNESS, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the CHILDREN OF LIGHT, and the children of the day: we are not of the NIGHT, nor OF DARKNESS.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the NIGHT and they that be drunken are drunken in the NIGHT. THEY ARE NOT SOBER MINDED.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are OF THE DAY, be SOBER, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDES ON ALL THAT SURPRESS THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTIONESS.
Jhn_11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Psa 74:16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
The MOONS light is the REFLECTION of the SUN so in reality the Moon has NO LIGHT OF ITS OWN.
Now the natural man cannot understand nor receive the things of the spirit. Because by man's wisdom the no not God.
1Co 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (Perfect means mature)
1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Co 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
The LESEER LIGHT that is SIGNIFIED by the MOON is the LAW OF MOSES that RULES the NIGHT and the CHILDREN OF DISOBEDENCE.
Yes the law was added because of transgression the LIGHT that LIGHTS everyone that comes into the world that is CHRIST and was transgressed. And the law also was made for the UNRIGHTIOUS. Here are my witnesses.
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the LAWLESS and DISOBEDENT, for the UNGOUDLY and for SINNERS, for UNHOLY and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Rom_9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Rom_9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the WORKS OF THE LAW For, they stumbled at that stumbling stone; (CHRIST)
Heb_7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the
law.
Heb_7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Heb_10:1 For the law having a SHADOW (THE MOON THE LESSER LIGHT THAT RULE THE NIGHT THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDENCE) of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year .continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
We see that the greater LIGHT rules the DAY the CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT. The GREATER LIGHT is seen in the prophecy of JOEL that Peter spoke of in Acts chapter 2. What does the moon do when it covers the SUN in an eclipse? The SUN becomes dark and the moon turns to blood BEFORE THE GREAT AND NOTABLE DAY OF THE LORD. The MOON puts out the light of the SUN and itself turns to blood (THE ADMINISTRATION OF DEATH WRITTEN UPON STONES) it has its purpose! to lead us to the true light I am using the law lawfully.
Act 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Rev_6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the SUN became BLACK as sackcloth of hair, and the Moon became as BLOOD.
NUMBER (SIX) is the number of man and was not made complete 6 falls short of completion which would be SIGNIFIED by the number 7. Man The clay vessel was marred in the hand of the POTTER and has to be remade another vessel. Man has to be judged in the Flesh [EARTH} SIGNIFIED by the SIXTH seal. Judgement must began at the house of God.
The DAY OF THE LORD is when God judges the EARTH, EARTH, EARTH HERE THE WORD OF THE LORD.
Judgement begins at the house of God. Christ in us the hope of glory. Do you not know that you are the TEMPLE OF GOD and if anyone defiles the temple GOD will destroy him. THE OLD MAN MUST DIE!
When did this day happen the MOON turned to BLOOD and the SUN darkened?
Mat 27:45 Now from the SIXTH hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A 3 hour eclipse three in scripture on a negative note symbolizes judgement on the positive side resurrection. Christ his (FLESH) was being judged and had been judged for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
The LIGHT of the MOON the (law of MOSES) that rules the DARK NIGHT children of disobedience will not pass away until TIME END of the (AIONS) AGES but Christ THE (THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT) those who WALK IN THE LIGHT is Christ and his Christ.
" They're for whoever breaks one of these LEAST COMMANDMENTS JESUS teaches are one of his Christ teach will be called least in the kingdom of heaven.
This verse is the DEVIDING POINT between the LEESER LIGHT (the law of Moses and the GREATER LIGHT (THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT THE NEW COVENENT) Jesus tells us 7 times IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE DAYS OF OLD (BUT I SAY UNTO YOU)
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
MANY ARE CALLED FEW are chosen but they are many who will serve and follow DARNESS and few who will follow the LIGHT Jesus the true light that LIGHTS every man that comes into the world. THE GREATOR LIGHT symbolized by the SUN.
And the moon THE LAW OF MOSES if we walk in darkness we have no choice WE ALL AT ONE POINT SERVE THE LAW but if God has preordained our names to be written in his book from the foundation of the world he will draw us to THE GREATER LIGHT not everyone comes to the greater light in this (AION) AGE.
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, WHO FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST.
THESE ARE THE FIRST FRUITS not the ONLY FRUITS the first fruits will take part in the FIRST RESURECTION.
