THE MYSTERY OF GOD WHO DWELLS IN THE FARTHEST HEAVENS SURROUNDED WITH THUNDERS OF GLORY☆☆☆☆☆☆
Is GOD DARKNESS or LIGHT? - 1 Timothy 6:16; 1 Kings 8:12; Psalm 18:11; 97:2
QUESTION:
Is ★JEHOVA★YHVH★, the GOD of Yakov, the creator & existence bringer of all..
IS HE "darkness or light?"
ANSWER:
1 Timothy 6:16
★JESUS CHRIST★, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever Amen.
1 KINGS 8:12*
Then Solomon said, "The Lord has said that he would dwell in a DARK cloud." ☁️
Psalm 18:11
He made DARKNESS his covering, his canopy around him - the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Psalm 97:2
Clouds and thick DARKNESS surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
The terms "light" and "DARKNESS" can both be used of God without being contradictory.
After all we so often hear that GOD is light (1 John 1:5) and that the LORD will be our light (Isaiah 60:19) and this is true.
But what is also true is that “The Lord has said he would dwell in thick DARKNESS ”
(1 Kings 8:12)
He dwells in thick DARKNESS also because He is the mysterious mystery of all mystery with such His glory that He doesn’t wants to consume those He loves.
As Moses recounts for the people the events of Sinai and commands them to keep the covenant, Moses declared, “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God” (Deuteronomy 4:24).
A few examples of this:
When the Israelites sent Moses to speak with God on the mountain because they were afraid of Him.
*(EXODUS 20:21)
Psalm 97:2 –
“Clouds and thick DARKNESS are all around him;”
Deuteronomy 5:22–
“‘These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick DARKNESS, with a loud voice; and he added no more.
To me this seems like a great length to go to when God could have simply sent a messenger.
God loves mankind enough to come personally, first in the thick DARKNESS and later in the Son.
He wants to be known personally, not distant from within us.
This also matters because often people walk in DARKNESS.
Who hasn’t felt the darkness of crime, wars, famine, death, fear, violence, sin, immorality, prostitution, captivity, slavery, chains, heavy yokes, sorrows, struggles, depression, murder, idolatry, chaos, disaster, calamity, destruction or uncertainty, of fear or sadness?
But in John 1:3-5 says HIS LIGHT, which is His unmerited undeserved unearned Favor/GRACE interchangeably shines in the DARKNESS just in the beginning when earth was dark and formless.
Even In the DARK moments of life I believe that GOD is far nearer closer than we can comprehend.
We cannot measure height width length depth & breadth of God unmerited Favor which is His unconditional love like a unmeasurable ocean.
In those times when people feels distant, when it feels like we are lost in the darkness, God is in fact with us, nearer to the broken heart, enough to touch if we will simply reach out.
He said to Apostle Paul my Unmerited Grace is sufficient for thee.. when he was suffering because of thorn that GOD gave to Apostle Paul.
(2 Corinthians 12)
Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth.
But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Hope you understand this is what Paul talking about.
(AMOS 4:13)
For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—
the LORD, the GOD of hosts, is his name!
Mt. Horeb/Mt. Sinai was a blazing fire and full of thick darkness, thunderstorms lightnings rumblings and smoke & gloom and a tempest where Elijah & Moses had encounters with GOD, they dared to stand in meet Him, they didn't defiled themselves with idols or any abomination practices of other nations.
(Exodus 19:12-22)
(GENESIS 15)
And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him*.
Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.
And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.
But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE SUN HAD SET AND DARKNESS HAD FALLEN, A SMOKING OVEN WITH A BLAZING TORCH APPEARED AND PASSED BETWEEN THE PIECES..
On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram*, saying:
“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgash*tes, and the Jebusites.
(Psalm 139:12)
Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
(ISAIAH 45:7)
I FORM THE LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS, I BRING PROSPERITY AND CREATE DISASTER; I, THE LORD, DO ALL THESE THINGS.
(MATTHEW 6:23)
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. *If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.
So according to Matthew 6:23, it means that if your eye is bad which means no revelations or having a veil or wrong perspective you may not know that the light in you is darkness where within that thick darkness GOD who is all consuming fire dwells hides in that secret holy place.
Infact intimacy is the secret thing where man does secret things of intimacy with a wife or women doesn't knows but it all happens in the dark secret place..
But GOD dwells in far great thicker darkness that Hell & HADES haven't even heard about it, that is the place where wisdom is found and where dust is of gold..
(JOB CH 28)
Where birds of the air/ no principality no lions have trodden or seen its way..
(JOB 28:1-27)
Iron is taken from the earth,
And copper is smelted from ore,
Man puts an end to DARKNESS,
And searches every recess For ore in the DARKNESS and the shadow of DEATH.
He breaks open a shaft away from people;
In places forgotten by feet They hang far away from men;
They swing to and fro.
As for the earth, from it comes bread,
But underneath it is turned up as by fire;
Its stones are the source of sapphires,
And it contains gold dust.
That path no bird knows, Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.
The proud lions have not trodden it,
Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.
He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains at the roots.
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
And his EYE SEES EVERY PRECIOUS THING*.
He dams up the streams from trickling;
What is HIDDEN he brings forth to light.
“But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
Man does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.
*The deep says, ‘It is not in me’;
*And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
*It cannot be purchased for gold,
*Nor can silver be weighed for its price.
*It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
*In precious onyx or sapphire.
Neither gold nor crystal can equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.
No mention shall be made of coral or quartz,
For the price of wisdom is above rubies.
The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
Nor can it be valued in pure gold.
“From where then does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
And concealed from the birds of the air.
Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’
GOD understands its way..
And He knows its place.
For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And sees under the whole heavens,
To establish a weight for the wind,
*And apportion the waters by measure*.
When He made a laws (nature laws) for the rain,
And a path for the thunderbolt,
Then He saw wisdom and declared it;
But ★JESUS★ torn down the veil of thickest darkness and made the way to that, to the holiest, to bring GOD inside us and make us to dwell within GOD who is all consuming fire. 🔥
(HEBREWS 10:12-17)
★JESUS★ made the way through the veil of His flesh being torn to fulfill all righteousness & justice & holiness of the LAW.
AND there was thick darkness and sun itself darkened for first time without any covering and there was darkness for 3 hours and HE cried, *"IT IS FINISHED*:
(John 19:25-30) (Matthew 27:47-59)
The Lamb of GOD takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29) and Brought and everlasting righteousness.
HE MADE AN END TO SIN BY PERFECT ATONEMENT ONCE FOR ALL TIME FOR ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE IN HIS BLOOD OF ETERNAL COVENANT TO BE SAVED AND BECOME RIGHTEOUS FOREVER.
In whom we have redemption through HIS Blood and forgiveness of sins according to the unmeasurable ocean riches of His unmerited undeserved unearned GRACE. (Eph 1:3-9)
SO ACCORDING TO THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET AFTER THE 7 WEEKS, 490 YRS till the WORD became flesh. (DANIEL 9:23-24)
(ROMAN'S 5:13)
WHEN THERE IS NO LAW, SIN IN NOT CHARGED OR IMPUTED.
DOESN'T MEAN THERE WONT HE ANY MISTAKES, WEAKNESSES, WRONGS OR BAD OR EVIL THINGS BUT HIS GRACE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO ABOUND OVER BEYOND THE MEASURE TO FILL US WITH THE FULLNESS OF GODHEAD BODILY THE WHO IS ALL IN ALL OF US WHO BELIEVE WHO FILLS US ALL.
(EPH 2:17-21)
(ROMAN'S 10:3-4, 5-17)
CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW AND RIGHTEOUSNESS TO ALL WHO BELIEVE.
BELIEVE TO BE BECOME A NEW CREATION WHERE THERE IS NO DARKNESS, NO SEPERATION, NO VEIL OF THE LAW TO SEPERATE OUR UNION WITH GOD EVER BECAUSE OF CHRIST FINISHED WORK OF THE TREE, THE CROSS ✝️OF CALVARY WHICH IS THE RIGHTEOUS ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION OF HIS THRONE.
(2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-21)
(ROMAN'S 4:13-15)
WHEN THERE IS NO LAW, THERE IS NO TRANSGRESSION, THERE IS NO WRATH, THERE IS NO FEAR OR SEPERATION OR JUDGEMENT LEFT BECAUSE CHRIST PAID IT ALL THROUGH HIS PERFECT ATONEMENT FINAL ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR ALL TIME & SAT DOWN HAVING PURGED ALL OUR SINS DONE EVER BEEN.
(HEBREWS 2:14-15) (1JOHN 4:17) (1JOHN 4:10)
SO CONCLUSIONS IS THAT GOD IS NOT DARKNESS OR LIGHT OR THUNDERSTORM, ALL THESE ARE CREATED BY HIM.
BUT HE IS BEYOND OF IT ALL.
HE IS RULING OVER EVERYTHING, ALL THINGS ARE IN HIS CONTROL, BEING HELD TOGETHER BY HIM, HE CREATES LIGHTS & DARKNESS,
BUT HE IS BEYOND THE INTELLECTUAL OR EXPERIENCES OR BEYOND UNDERSTANDING OR HUMAN COMPREHENSION.
THE SIMPLEST WORDS WE CAN SAY TO HELP PEOPLE ON EARTH TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS ALL CONSUMING FIRE🔥
As Moses recounts for the people the events of Sinai and commands them to keep the covenant, Moses declared, “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God”
(DEUTERONOMY 4:24)
THE WAY TO KNOW HIM IS ONLY..
THE PERFECT MAN & WHO IS GOD INCARNATION IMAGE OF INVISIBLE GOD FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION..
*HE IS EMMANUEL GOD WITH US..
*THE BEGINNING & THE END..
*THE LORD OF SABBATH..
THE FATHER OF TIME..
ONE AND ONLY..
