See what I mean; not a person ever to walk this earth.......'saw .....an ...angel flying'

Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them.
and if God is the 'total' then this be true in fact.... not as a separate entity outside of the 'people' .... then honor all of Gods contributions.... such as the knowledge of your brothers.... observe in the compassion shared by JC, but do not let the words, corrupted for secularization be the final words to believe. Trust god (the total).... will honor the intent of Peace and community between all..... know that knowledge that the truth of 'light' is the truth to bring all mankind together.... as magic is not what is true but what ignorance must retain as the cause.......


See how important 'light' is?............ well this same beginning is universal throughout the beliefs of many of the religions.....

do not retain the selfishness of a single sect and culture ..... it's all about choice, and be humble to not knowing; a form to represent integrity ...........

What is so sad is that folk that represent such the depth and commitment as you have are going to be soooooooo upset when they find out most of it will never happen, and them people who have fibbed, lied and continued to impose the fear of the faith upon their minds are going to know the idea of being ........... judged! By their own children, friends, familiy and enemies.

4In him was life, and the life was the light of men,

5and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.

6There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name [is] John,

7this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

8that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.

9He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

10in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
11to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
Suggestion; follow the light not the fibs!

light has to do with the understanding and enlightenment that come from Jehovah God.

and its very good to listening ears .


Paul spoke of the light when he wrote

"For God is he who said: ‘Let the light shine out of darkness,’ and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate them with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ." (2 Corinthians 4:6)



Life-giving light from Jehovah focuses on the person of Jesus Christ.


God’s "Chief Agent"


After his resurrection, Jesus revealed to his followers another facet of the light. He said: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth." (Matthew 28:18)


Acknowledging Jesus’ headship is a key requirement for receiving a favorable judgment.





You Are the Light of the World





loving the light means reflecting the light so that others can see it and be attracted to it.



"You are the light of the world," said Jesus. And he added "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heavens." (Matthew 5:14, 16)

Quote:
22I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

24The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

25On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.

26The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.

27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Light is energy; the truth and foundation of the knowledge to combine mankind.

The land behind the pueblo in Taos (untouched), is that place.

Understanding is that book.

Who is to contribute their compassion for the knowledge of tomorrow?

That is how each find themselves within the everlasting; by giving of themselves for the children of tomorrow.

Re: Christs Presence

Do You Recognize the Sign of Jesus’ Presence?
Jesus gave a sign that would enable his followers to recognize his "presence" as well as "the conclusion of the system of things."

This sign is composed of several facets, which together make up a composite identifying mark, or signal—the sign of Jesus’ presence.


"Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom." (Matthew 24:7) ..... 1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR

"There will be food shortages." (Matthew 24:7)


"In one place after another pestilences." (Luke 21:11)

"Earthquakes." (Matthew 24:7)



Most facets of the sign of the last days are distressing.


But Jesus also told of welcome news.

"This

good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations." (Matthew 24:14)




ITS ALL HAPPENING IN THE TIME OF THE END its a good job that there is GOODNEWS going on as well as the badnews.


As the last days reach their climax, Jesus will wipe out this old system and the people who support it.

The Messianic Kingdom will then administer affairs on earth, which will be brought to its foretold Paradise condition.

Mankind will be freed from sickness and death, and the dead will be resurrected to life on earth.


These are the delightful prospects awaiting those who recognize the sign of the times.


Would it not be the wise course to learn more about the sign and what one must do to survive the end of this system? Surely this ought to be a matter of great urgency for everyone.—John 17:3.
