"Then Jesus unto them, saying, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12.

Jesus said, "And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT is come into this world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds be reproved. But he that comes to the Truth comes to the light, that his deeds made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 3:19-21.

Jesus said, "Ye are the light of this world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid." Matt 5:14.

"Then God said, Let there be light; and there was light." Gen 1:3.

"And God saw that the light was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness, He called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Gen 1:4,5.

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and seasons, and days and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the nigh: He made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and God saw that it was good. And to rule over the day, and to divide the light from the darkness. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day." Gen 1:14-19.

"I FORM THE LIGHT, and create darkness, I make peace and create evil: I, the Lord do all these things." Isa 45:7.

"Thus says the Lord which gives sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is His name." Jer 31:35.

"IN THE DAYTIME, HE LED THEM WITH A CLOUD, AND ALL THE NIGHT WITH A LIGHT OF FIRE." Ps 78:14.

"WHO COVERS THYSELF WITH LIGHT AS WITH A GARMENT: who stretches out the heaven like a curtain." Ps 104:2.

"And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. And he (Saul) fell to the earth, and heard a Voice say unto him, Why do you persecute Me?" Acts 9:3,4.

"And behold the Angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and He smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands." Acts 12:7.

"The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones fat." Pro 15:30.

Jesus said, "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness, how great is that darkness!" Matt 6:22,23.

"AND WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE THEM; AND HIS FACE DID SHINE AS THE SUN, AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS THE LIGHT." Matt 17:2.

"Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; Whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to Whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen." 1 Tim 6:16.

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Ps 119:105.

Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.


Or like this...(as ye are a city)

2Cr 4:6 For **God** who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE **OUT OF** darkness, hath shined IN our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of **the glory of God** in the face of **Jesus Christ**.

Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine IN it: for **the glory of God** did lighten it, and **the Lamb** IS THE LIGHT **thereof**.

In regards to the sun and the moon

2Cr 4:18 While we look NOT AT the things which are SEEN, BUT AT the things which are NOT SEEN for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.


Not nessesary really for this particular city to need the sun or the moon to "shine" in it after a carnal truth being a carnal city (but ye are a city) and the glory of God gives this city light to shine "in it" as God as God shines this light "in our hearts". The light of the knowledge of the glory of God "in the face of Christ who is The Lamb as well as the very light of the city "thereof" (even the light we walk by)


Love these studies, lots of beautiful similiarities after spiritual truths can be seen in them.

Genesis
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,
2 the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters.
3 Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.[/n]
4 God saw how good the light was. God then separated the light from the darkness.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

1John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

These are kool too

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.


1John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

2Cr 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

^_^ This is fun Sherha, I could do this all day, just take an angle as its placed on Jesus Christ then "behold it" as knit together throughout the scriptures.

He always says "behold" for a reason (theres something he wants you to catch in a thing). Fun searching it out though :thumbsup:

One of my favorites is the Jasper stone (which again speaks to the light) God hid Christ in that one too, follow it through (you'll be amazed) even how it is worded pertaining to the wall, him who sat, the first foundation and the glory in the midst of her (the city) on a hill/ mount (ye are come to).

Posts should be opened like this one where we just post what we see in scripture and "speak to one another" these things and rejoice in seeing them together.

They usually hit me like lightning ^_^... "WOW LORD!!"

Psa 148:1-5 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.


:amen:
