But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.1.3&version=KJV
If the Gospel be then hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine unto them.
For God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Cor.4.3,2Cor.4.4,2Cor.4.6&version=GNV
and also this:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Matthew 6:22
(Luke 11:33–36)
“ The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Matt.6.22.BSB
Do not miss it. Clearly we see that the son of the most high, who was the “Word of God” created everything while in the “form” of a “light being” as he was clothed in light.
Now there is no distinction between God (The Father) and his Word (The Word – The Light) being the “Lord God. We seem to focus on our present dimension of time unfortunately.
Remember what Jesus asked the religious leaders of that time?
And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke.20.41,Luke.20.42,Luke.20.43,Luke.20.44&version=KJV
For clarification, God has now established another dimension when he spoke. As the Spirit of God resides in “Eternity”, God the Word then creates the present (timeline via the Light an darkness dimension) and will also establish a Future as well (then dividing the light from the darkness) via his calling forth of light has now established time…and afterwards forms man to dwell in until the “Fullness of Time”.
God has established himself as a BEING of LIGHT (Celestial dimension) He then will Form another (Terrestrial dimension) for himself as MAN and create within the two dimensions – the combination as Being of HUE – Man..a Light forming man..breathing life into the terrestrial dimension to establish where we find ourselves as HUMAN BEINGS and he establishing himself again as Son of Man! God the father reveals himself in all dimensions all at the time as well as in eternity!
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Now moving forward through Old Testament and New Testament scripture, we can and will see the Lord God as being the Word of God, aka The Light of the World, aka the Son of God, aka the only begotten son.
Let’s get excited, here we go:
Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Okay, we’ve made it to Part 3!
So let’s get into the scripture & how to interpret our inheritance as Saints:
The first (conscience) of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Prov.20.27&version=AMP
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

” I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.”
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for [nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rom.13.12,Rom.13.14&version=AMP
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and perpetual contempt. And they that be wise, shall shine, as the brightness of the firmament: and they that turn many to righteousness, shall shine as the stars, forever and ever.

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. the Israelites would see the face of Moses, how his skin shone [with a unique radiance].

God, having spoken to the fathers long ago in [the voices and writings of] the prophets in many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the truth], and in many ways, has in these last days spoken [with finality] to us in [the person of One who is by His character and nature] His Son [namely Jesus], whom He appointed heir and lawful owner of all things, through whom also He created the universe [that is, the universe as a space-time-matter continuum]. The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God’s Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]. When He [Himself and no other] had [by offering Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin] accomplished purification from sins and established our freedom from guilt, He sat down [revealing His completed work] at the right hand of the Majesty on high [revealing His Divine authority],
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb.1.1,Heb.1.2,Heb.1.3&version=AMP
Let’s look and understand when Jesus judged the world and remember why:
God has in these last days spoken [with finality] to us in [the person of One who is by His character and nature] His Son [namely Jesus], whom He appointed heir and lawful owner of all things,..
Now is my soul troubled: and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but therefore came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy Name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. Then said the people that stood by, and heard, that it was a thunder: others said, An Angel spake to him.
Jesus answered, and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I were lift up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you: walk while ye have that light, lest the darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have that light, believe in that light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John.12.27,John.12.28,John.12.29,John.12.30,John.12.31,John.12.32,John.12.35,John.12.36&version=GNV
We [earnestly] urge you, believers, admonish those who are out of line [the undisciplined, the unruly, the disorderly], encourage the timid [who lack spiritual courage], help the [spiritually] weak, be very patient with everyone [always controlling your temper]. For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord is coming just as a thief [comes unexpectedly and suddenly] in the night.
But you, believers, [all you who believe in Christ as Savior and acknowledge Him as God’s Son] are not in spiritual darkness [nor held by its power], that the day [of judgment] would overtake you [by surprise] like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We do not belong to the night nor to darkness. So then let us not sleep [in spiritual indifference] as the rest [of the world does], but let us keep wide awake [alert and cautious] and let us be sober [self-controlled, calm, and wise].

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Many are warning others about the coming of Christ, believing he is to appear immediately in the air, which is true. But watch, the scripture seems to indicate that his light will precede him before his actual appearance at his coming which will be a day of Christ’s visitation (1 Peter 2:12). The Apostle Paul is a witness to a visitation which we will discuss later.
We as his children, should then inherit “Light” prior to his appearance and coming kingdom to shine as well, as the word indicated by the light of the Lord. So we as light, will light up the earth similar to celebration sparklers burning during a birthday or other celebration. It may be that We will be like this at Christ’s second coming!
Genesis 1:3-5
” And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Gen.1.3-5.KJV
Genesis 1:8
” And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Gen.1.8.KJV
Now after God spoke the Word and created what he called “Light”, this “Light” was a duplicate Holy Spirit Being who then has the name of “Light” and is clothed in light (a Duplicate if you will) created from the same power of God making him God as well. He is now called both “The Word” and “The Light of the World” as Messiah too. Specifically the Word of God, coming from his word, who would now divide “Light” from darkness. (He then established 2 lights to follow up the process of creating Day and night).
Side Note: This is why pagans began to worship him (Light – the creator of nature) as a divine that is different from the Word of God, which we find in religion as “as worship of “Another god”.
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].

Now when mankind is created, their light spirit is placed inside a shell of clay/dirt (or even bone such as with Eve)which he breathed into, for it will then become a Living Soul, housed in a shell that anyone can visually see!
Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.” So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.

There is now a complete man, to rule and subdue the earth.
then the Lord God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit]. And the Lord God planted a garden (oasis) in the east, in Eden (delight, land of happiness); and He put the man whom He had formed (created) there.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Heb.1.1-3.KJV
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John.3.2&version=KJV
For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light] Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character]; But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for it is light that makes everything visible.
For this reason He says,“Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.”

Let’s see what Paul described during his visitation from Christ at midday,
Now as he journeyed, it came to pass that as he was come near to Damascus, suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against pricks. He then both trembling and astonied, said, Lord, what wilt thou that I do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou shalt do. The men also which journeyed with him, stood amazed, hearing his voice, but seeing no man. Then the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him, how many things he must suffer for my Name’s sake. And received meat, and was strengthened. So was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Son of God. But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, confirming that this was that Christ. And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him,

Here’s a testimony before King Agrippa
O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven surpassing the brightness of the sun, shining all around me and those who were traveling with me. And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. [choosing you for Myself and] rescuing you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, to open their [spiritual] eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness release from their sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified (set apart, made holy) by faith in Me.’

Remember the parable of the virgins?
This passage speaks to us as having light when Christ returns just as Revelation speaks of Christ in the midst of the Golden Lampstands.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.25.1,Matt.25.2,Matt.25.3,Matt.25.4,Matt.25.5,Matt.25.6,Matt.25.7,Matt.25.8,Matt.25.9,Matt.25.10,Matt.25.11,Matt.25.12,Matt.25.13&version=KJV
He told those who were not prepared and had no oil to light, that he didn’t know them. That should sound very familiar.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; [you are banished from My presence], [disregarding My commands].’ “So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. When Jesus had finished [speaking] these words [on the mountain], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one who had authority [to teach entirely of His own volition], and not as their scribes [who relied on others to confirm their authority].
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.7.21,Matt.7.22,Matt.7.23,Matt.7.24,Matt.7.28,Matt.7.29&version=AMP
Jesus will acknowledge those who rely totally on his word and will receive it. That is how Jesus taught with authority. It was not yelling at nor chastising his audience.
Let’s not be deceived.
For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception]. For such men are counterfeit apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Now about darkness:
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true and realized in Christ and in you, because the darkness [of moral blindness] is clearing away and the true Light [the revelation of God in Christ] is already shining. The one who says he is in the Light [in consistent fellowship with Christ] and yet habitually hates (works against) his brother [in Christ] is in the darkness until now. But the one who habitually hates (works against) his brother [in Christ] is in [spiritual] darkness and is walking in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

So whoever breaks one of the least [important] of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. “For I say to you that unless your righteousness (uprightness, moral essence) is more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

**Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.

Those who do not serve God and are not in the kingdom of God are to be destroyed and remain in darkness: as a judgement:
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Earnestly remember your Creator before the silver cord [of life] is broken, or the golden bowl is crushed, or the pitcher at the fountain is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed; then the dust [out of which God made man’s body] will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
