Then the fourth angel sounded: and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day had no light, and likewise the night, ( Revelation 8:12).
A third of the day had no light…….Why? Why did the moon and stars and sun get affected? What were they struck with?
Maybe some of our answers are in the fourth day of creation and, of course, from our Creator!….
Then God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth; and it was so. Then God made two great lights (luminaries): the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day, (Genesis 1:14-19).
God created the lights to rule and divide the light from darkness. Yet, a third of the lights were struck? Why? Darkness came through through the hands of Satan by his rebellion against God…… Then the sin of evil from man also affected all things. But the tragedy is the spirit part of man died. Darkness reigned in our deepest part….. All of creation has been darkened by the effects of evil…… darkness leads to destruction and then death,…. death eternal……. until God sent…
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not the Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives to every man coming into the world, (John 4-9).
Then Jesus spoke to them again,saying, I Am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life, (John 8:12).
I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I Am in the world, I Am the light of the world, (John 9:5).
Jesus was speaking, you are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven, (Matthew 5:14-16).
For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light ( for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things are exposed when made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead and Christ will give you light, ( Ephesians 5:8-14).
Who is the Light working through now and why? God made a distinction between His people in Egypt. When He commanded darkness over the land of Egypt glorifying Himself before the Pharaoh, His people had all the light they needed. He is still doing that today with and through us, His children. He who has Jesus Christ has the Light of the world. As Paul said in Galatians 1, God chose to reveal His Son in me……
This is the message that we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin, (1 John 1:5-7).
Arise, shine. For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory shall be seen upon you. The gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising, ( Isaiah 60:1-3).
You were meditating on the black rivers seeping unto and into the mountains. Why kept popping up in your mind. I heard His strong rebuke: Believe in Me and speak Light….. You have the answer! Jesus Christ is the Light of the world.
You were flying. The darkness was without any stars or moon, but you could see everything going on…… You heard Him say, child, in My light, you see light…. for even the darkness will be light to you….. I asked Him, if He could repeat that when I had a pen and paper…. That was a meditation scripture, for sure! For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light, (Psalm 36:9). The darkness and the light are both alike to You, (Psalm 139:12).
But as you saw, you understood what He meant….. You were flying over a city. People had their heads down looking to the ground. They were bent over. They were walking on leads attached to a demon or demons, depending on the persons. They were being led by these ugly creatures.
Some of the demons were snickering on their catch, others were laughing and mocking the people. They were jesting among themselves of how easy to trip up these humans…..I heard them talking among themselves: they aren’t anything that God should want now….. Look how we are running their lives….. They don’t even know that they are bowing to us. We are their gods! Ha! Ha! Who is their god now?
I looked to some of their faces, which was hard because they were parallel to the ground…..They were angry. Some were green with envy and jealousies. Some were bound with bags of tarnished, rusted coins around their ankles. Some were walking with festering wounds in their souls…. The demons’ hands were in the wounds keeping them open. They would not heal. Some I saw had dark black bags loaded on their shoulders that kept them very bound to the ground.
What bothered me the most was that they were walking right into the trap of eternal death—- Satan’s snare…. They believed the lies of Satan. They are refusing the grace and mercy of God……. for now…… SPEAK LIGHT—JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT AND DARKNESS WILL FLEE! I heard:the mountain will be cast into the sea if you believe! All things are possible for those that believe in God.
Then the earth opened up, I saw a form of people. They weren’t clothed with skin but I could see the eyes of torment. I could hear their screams of hate and blasphemies. They were on each other like worms are on garbage. They were swarming over each other all reaching out their arms, stretching out their hands for help.
Tears filled up my eyes and fell into the earth that was opened. My tears cannot change or help any of these. Lord, why are you showing me this? My heart is breaking. I wanted to help them by grabbing their hand. However, I was restrained and I heard, they will try to pull you in, child…. Leave them in My hands. Many fall in here because they do not believe I AM nor believe there is hell.
I thought to myself, are these the great and mighty things that You are showing me? I swallowed hard, knowing He heard me….I know there was a purpose for me seeing into the darkness that He had delivered me and all those who believe from. Boy, this was a hard flight….. What am I to do with information, Lord?
You cannot pass out My Light unless you are lit with My Spirit within…..My Spirit quickens the dead as written by one of My friends, Ezekiel….. The breath of My Spirit empowers the Word of God and gives the Light of the world, Jesus Christ. Eternal Life to those that are bound….. I Am the Light of the world and I died for them because I love them. Pray that they may have ears to hear at their appointed day to hear, child…..For I will be at their door of their heart knocking.
Selah!
