Artificial Light

"At the end of their rule, when their sin is at its height, a fierce king, a master of intrigue, will rise to power. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate the holy people. He will be a master of deception and will become arrogant; he will destroy many wit...hout warning. He will even take on the Prince of princes in battle, but he will be broken, though not by human power." (Daniel 8:17, 23-25)

I don't think we are here yet and I think we should continue to resist and try to reverse the trend. We are fast approaching the coming of the "end of their rule" and there is, in my opinion, a fierce king rising but it is not yet the day described, it will get much worse.

The time is soon to be here when it will be too late to choose sides, the decision will have been made through our actions or lack there of. If you have allowed the oil to run low in your lamp get it filled and keep it filled because the light it provides will be the only light available and the only light able to penetrate the dark.

The darkness I 'see' coming will be like a thick cloud that can be felt by the human spirit and body, it will be much like walking in dense fog on a dark rainy night. I see many people with huge "Artificial" lights that produce millions of candle power but the light from those artificial lights reflects off the darkness and the 'fog' and blinds them, like driving in the fog with high beams on.

Only the simple light of your personal little candle will be able to guide you through the darkness. Many who were without a light will be drawn toward the low light of our candle because unlike the ultra powerful light ours will not blind but will illuminate.

Our light will not shine great distances through the fog of darkness but will only be seen by those we are close to. We must go to the darkness now and make ourselves known to those who are unaware of the times we are in so that when the cloud of fog comes into the dark we will have connections with those fumbling for a way out.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:15-17
