For example, I love the way Adonai speaks metaphorically to the Israelites regarding the merits of “light.” The term, “light” from the Bible is used as a type of anthropomorphism or human-like characteristics. Jesus is the expressed image of His Father in Heaven because He followed His Father’s every word. We know the Father’s Will for us because Christ walked out His instructions to the letter.
At the same time, our Lord proclaimed He is the Light of the World and subsequently if we become followers of Christ and allow the Word of the Messiah to culminate in our hearts; people will begin to see that same Glorious Light of God emanating from within us.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]5 But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 9:3-5
And, when we trust God’s word, His word shapes us into a source of Light, for the purpose of pointing the lost back to the Father.

(Message Bible)
16 “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. 17 God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. 18 Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.19 “This is the crisis we’re in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness. They went for the darkness because they were not really interested in pleasing God. 20 Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won’t come near it, fearing a painful exposure.
John 3:16-20[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When Adonai made the sun, its light was the result of nuclear fusion. However, the sun exists in the material realm. Almost every human on earth takes daylight for granted. Most of the world assumes that the sun will climb into the eastern sky day after day, as some reliable mechanism whether we thank Adonai for this miraculous phenomenon or not.
While 99% of life on earth depends on sunlight for its existence, the same is true of the Light that comes from the spirit realm designed to touch human conscience and unveil a Higher Power to reckon with in our lives.

 

 

(Message Bible)

20 By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. 21 What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives.
Romans 1:20-21[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Holographic of a language of Israel
In Bible school, we were told that Adonai God of Abraham used a holographic language when He shouted the words of Genesis “Let there be Light.”

The Almighty designed the earthly and the heavenly realm, separating light from darkness. Fallen angels would occupy the darkness, but Adam was placed over the Light. At that exact moment, God continued with a further act of creation known as the unseen realm of human conscience – the heart of man. This special place called the heart, perhaps the frontal lobe of the brain, is where human reasoning is conducted. Furthermore, it is where the Light of God shines within the individual’s conscience to guide mankind before the time of his New Birth.

Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It has been defined as sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9805″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For a person to have a good conscience is one thing, but to accept Jesus Christ as one’s Savior is to accept Adonai’s covenant of adoption into an eternal Kingdom of love and protection. Therefore, by faith, we believe that the divine intelligence, Who authored the universe is also our Heavenly Father. In His infinite wisdom, the God of Heaven’s Army, planned for our salvation to come through His Son who is the Word of God, a Lamb to be slain, a Lion of the Tribe of Judah, a Prince of Peace, and a Jewish Messiah; Yeshua (Jesus Christ Lord and Savior). We can see how the Hebrew language encourages us to create images in our minds, visualize, and thus fully comprehend what the text is saying.

So, along with creating a material world, God was building a world where everything named and everything that existed was subject to Him. While we understand that the Earth depends on the “sun” for heat, seasons, and photosynthesis; we must realize and appreciate that the “Son” is the Source of life on Earth. Without the Son, we would not have a Sun. All of the laws of nature, physics, and life are subordinate to His authority. As we read the Scriptures, we see that the Apostles knew how to recognize God’s uses of the Holographic language of the Hebrews.

8 “Open up, O heavens,
and pour out your righteousness.
Let the earth open wide
so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together.
I, the Lord, created them.
Isaiah 45:8[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”9807″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]In the epistle of Second Corinthians, Paul used this pictorial language himself to explain how the Light of creation was compatible with Light that shines in the hearts of man.

(Message Bible)
6 It started when God said, “Light up the darkness!” and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful.
7 If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7

(Amplified Bible – AMP)
Moses’ Face Shines
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hand, he did not know that the skin of his face was shining [with a unique radiance] because he had been speaking with God.
Exodus 34:29

(Complete Jewish Bible)
16 For when we made known to you the power and the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, we did not rely on cunningly contrived myths. On the contrary, we saw his majesty with our own eyes. 17 For we were there when he received honor and glory from God the Father; and the voice came to him from the grandeur of the Sh’khinah, saying, “This is my son, whom I love; I am well pleased with him!”18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Yes, we have the prophetic Word made very certain. You will do well to pay attention to it as to a light shining in a dark, murky place, until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. 20 First of all, understand this: no prophecy of Scripture is to be interpreted by an individual on his own; 21 for never has a prophecy come as a result of human willing—on the contrary, people moved by the Ruach HaKodesh spoke a message from God.
2 Peter 1:16-21[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Science of light
For years I have studied the marvel of light as a computer graphics designer. One study is the process of making a 3D image to look real which takes hours of arranging different kinds of light. Texture artists are interested in the ray model of light as it describes the interaction of light and matter. Understanding how light rays interact with surface matter is important because our job is to create textures that describe a surface. The textures and materials we author interact with light in our virtual worlds. The more we understand how light behaves, the better our textures will look.

What interests me the most is the striking terminology of “how light behaves.” Likewise, when the Word of God stimulates our vision of a Great Power called Light on the inside of us who are made of clay; incredibly, that Power enables the weakness of clay (us) to know God!
“But we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.” So, now even Dust will know that Adonai is Just, Righteous, Faithful, and Loving.
Then what language will Adonai speak? He will speak the language of “action”.

Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field, rather than of an image formed by a lens, and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographic subject, which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.
Dennis Gabor CBE FRS; Hungarian: Gábor Dénes; 5 June 1900 – 9 February 1979 was a Hungarian-British electrical engineer and physicist, most notable for inventing holography, for which he later received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics.

(NLT Study Bible Text,)
Living in the Light
5 This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
1 John 1:5

(NLT Study Bible Text,)
20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.21 But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”
John 3:20-21

(NLT Study Bible Text,)
3 “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.4 We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.5 But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 9:3-5

My point is that Adonai is trying to reveal Himself through the processes of teaching and the reason one might struggle with God’s method is that Light enters into man’s conscience and bears record of the Truth. When faith results from acceptance of the Word of God, then that individual becomes quickened and alive in God.

While demons spirits are invisible to the human eye, their manifestations are clearly seen as bad behavior. Evil spirits do not reflect the Light of the Messiah because the material they are made of is obscure, cryptic, self-indulgence, and ominous – elements which don’t reflect light.

(Message Bible)
19 They promise these newcomers freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for if they’re addicted to corruption—and they are—they’re enslaved.
2 Peter 2:19

2588. καρδία kardía; gen. kardías, fem. noun. Heart. The seat and center of human life. In the NT, used only figuratively.

(I) As the seat of the desires, feelings, affections, passions, impulses, i.e., the heart or mind.

(A) Generally (Matt. 5:8), “the pure in heart” meaning those whose center of life has been made pure by Jesus Christ. See Matt. 5:28; 6:21; Mark 4:15; Luke 1:17; John 14:1; Acts 11:23; Rom. 2:5; 1 Cor. 4:5 for the counsels or dispositions of the heart or inner man.

(Message Bible)
1 But there were also lying prophets among the people then, just as there will be lying religious teachers among you. They’ll smuggle in destructive divisions, pitting you against each other—biting the hand of the One who gave them a chance to have their lives back! They’ve put themselves on a fast downhill slide to destruction, 2 but not before they recruit a crowd of mixed-up followers who can’t tell right from wrong.
They give the way of truth a bad name.
2 Peter 2:1-2[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
