This began as a response to Mitch’s question. The answer is TOO GOOD to remain buried in the original string. I hope this will give you greater appreciation of the splendor in the work of your Father-Creator, God. You have been blessed with the greatest blessing anyone can hope for. You have been a ROYAL, IMMORTAL, GLORIOUS CHILD OF LIGHT from the very beginning. It has been DARK down here for SOOOOO LOONNGG … and now my father is turning on the lights! That which is “in part” is dropping by the wayside! It is time for YOU to REJOICE GREATLY!!

Children of light

Quote:
John then please explain:


John 1:9
There was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.

How is every man coming into the world enlightened?


This first text answers your question immediately, but we will not end this so abruptly. I prefer to build on it from other biblical writings!

Secrets of Enoch 25 1 I commanded in the very lowest parts, that visible things should come down from invisible, and Adoil (Mother Wisdom) came down very great, and I beheld 2 him, and lo! he had a belly of great light. And I said to him: 'Become undone, Adoil, and let 3 the visible come out of thee.' And he came undone, and a great light came out. AndI was in the midst of the great light, and as there is born light from light, there came forth a great age, and showed all creation, which I had thought to 4 create. And I saw that it was good. And I placed for myself a throne, and took; my seat on it, and said to the light: 'Go thou up higher and fix thyself high above the throne, and be 5 a foundation to the highest things.' And above the light there is nothing else, and then I bent up and looked up from my throne.


James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

James 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Since the text below says “LIFE is the LIGHT of men”, there should be no question of WHO the SOURCE of your LIFE-Light is! If you do not know the answer to that one I am VERY DISAPPOINTED! I am going on the assumption that you know all LIFE comes from “our Father”, God!

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Now if you did not have all these other texts available to direct your path and John 1:9 was all you could see, which one of the “two subjects”, (a) the Father, and (b) the Word-Jesus, is the object of the relative pronouns, “that” and “which”? If you say (a) you are a reasonable man. If you say (b) that is impossible since Jesus was born 2000 years ago and many billions of human beings came and went in their respective generations before he came here. That choice “makes NO sense”.

Now let us see Father as the SOURCE OF LIGHT from the Old Testament.

All men were created on the 4th day of the creation as “the stars of God”. As you know scientist have learned that the stars are distant suns. And stars are lights we see at night.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the starsalso. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Now this is allegoric for “humanity” as God reveals it to Abraham, “the father of many nations”.

Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Another form of proof that men are created as children of light whose true glory is toned down in the fleshcan be seen in Moses. After he talked with God in the mountain God lit up his face with his true glory and Moses became a living lamp! God could have turned on his whole body. Moses had to wear a bonnet with a veil over his head because the people were afraid of him. I personally can attest to “our inner glory”. God caused a beam of light to come out of my wrist in a pitch-black room when He was “manifesting Himself to me”, letting me know “WHO” was dealing with me. This was to impress me and get my attention and to make me feel comfortable with him calm my fear. I am a personal witness to our inner glory. We are “children of light”.

Another sense of who lights every man who comes into the world is this. The Great light is Father Himself! Our bodies are His temples. He said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them”. His presence in us is light that lights every man who is born into this world.

Here are other accounts, which will enhance your appreciation of your glorious heritage as a “child of light”.

Books of Adam and Eve from VITA ADAE ET EVAE and Apocalypse of MOSES

xxi. 1 And behold, there came twelve angels and two 'virtues', standing on the right and on the left 2 of Eve; and Michael was standing on the right; and he stroked her on the face as far as to the breast and said to Eve: 'Blessed art thou, Eve, for Adam's sake. Since his prayers and intercessions are great, I have been sent that thou mayst receive our help. Rise up now, and 3 prepare thee to bear. Andshe bore a son and he was shining; and at once the babe rose up and ran and bore a blade of grass in his hands, and gave it to his mother, and his name was called Cain.

FRAGMENT OF THE BOOK OF NOAH

Enoch 106 1 And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became 2 pregnant by him and bore a son. And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house 3 was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness. 4 And his father Lamech was afraid of him and 5 fled, and came to his father Methuselah. And he said unto him: 'I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance 6 is glorious. And it seems to me that he is not sprung from me but from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be 7 wrought on the earth. And now, my father, I am here to petition thee and implore thee that thou mayst go to Enoch, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling-place is 8 amongst the angels.' And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me to the ends of the earth; for he had heard that I was there, and he cried aloud, and I heard his voice and I came to him. And I said unto him: 'Behold, here am I, my son, wherefore hast 9 thou come to me? 'And he answered and said: 'Because of a great cause of anxiety have I come to thee, and because of a disturbing vision 10 have I approached. And now, my father, hear me:unto Lamech my son there hath been born a son, the like of whom there is none, and his nature is not lkie man's nature, and the colour of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his eyes and 11 thereupon lighted up the whole house. And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened 12 his mouth and blessed the Lord of heaven. And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and behold I have come to thee that thou mayst make known to me the truth. 13 And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: 'The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven 14 transgressed the word of the Lord. And behold they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, 17 and have begot children by them. And they shall produce on the earth giants not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the 15 earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge and 16 a great destruction for one year. And this son who has been born unto you shall be left on the earth, and his three children shall be saved with him: when all mankind that are on the earth 18 shall die he and his sons shall be saved. And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days.

Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

I might as well tell you, your Father has had a bit of fun with this! The account surrounding Noah’s birth is a case in point. Cain was born “shining”. Noah was born glorious and immediately blessed God. Moses’ face was turned on like a power lamp. Jesus was transfigured before three disciples. These instances SHOW YOU WHO YOU ARE! Since you have been blind to your origin and heritage, Jesus was correct in saying the following.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Men have failed to KNOW WHO THEY ARE! Some have said, “You can become a son of God if….” Others said, “You can become an adopted son, but…”. These “in part” doctrines and guess-work are “short of the glory” and confirm Jesus in the above text. Even though God has told men they are His children, apparently men did not believe Him. They believe that they are much less and they are “apart” from God. This post shows you in the very first text from Secrets of Enoch 25 WHO YOU ARE! You are a shining star, no matter who you are shining bright to see you are a part of “ME”! God has told me who I am. I have seen the immortal light coming from my own hand! I KNOW WHO ALL MEN ARE. We are and have always been “children of light”, the WHOLE FAMILY created on the 4th creation day and placed in Father’s Heavenly nursery only to be planted in clay wombs in a series of generations. The house of clay masks your true face and glory in this time of sin so that when you do rise in the face of Heaven, the real “YOU” cannot be associated with the sins in your mortal body. You will have a new face, a new body, a new name and hence a new ID. You will NEVER mention your earthly name again or reveal your former ID to anyone. Circumcision (cutting the spirit from the clay coccoon) is God’s means of rolling away the reproach of Egypt (accusing devils) from us. No demon knows your name! When they accuse men they NEVER accuse the children of light because they just don’t know our names! Now you KNOW who you are PERFECTLY. Isn’t this better than fussing over trite things and striving over words? Paul said this:

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

And this we will do as God permits.

So, Mitch, explaining John 1:9 is easy! It is even easier when you see the WHOLE from above. You get a panoramic view through ALL THE WORD VOLUME-RECORD. Those who READ MORE KNOW MORE and have fewer questions. Those who read in a limited range will not have all the “puzzle pieces” and they will have many questions. Understand this, KingdomTalk, your Father is turning on the lights!

Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Proverbs 23:24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. 25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

Psalm 21:1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

Come! Ride with us! … Won’t YOU?

2 Esdras 13 1 2 THE SEVEN DAYS PASSED; and the next night I had a dream. In my dream, 3 a wind came up out of the sea and set the waves in turmoil. And this wind brought a human figure rising from the depths, and as I watched this man came flying with the clouds of heaven.Wherever he turned his 4 eyes, everything that they fell on was seized with terror; and wherever the sound of his voice reached, all who heard it melted like wax at the touch of fire.

Psalm 110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Secrets of Enoch 23:1 And he was telling me all the works of heaven, earth and sea, and all the elements, their passages and goings, and the thunderings of the thunders, the sun and moon, the goings and changes of the stars, the seasons, years, days, and hours, 2, 3 and the formation of their songs, and all human things, the tongue of every human song and life, the commandments, instructions, and sweet-voiced singings, and all things that it is fitting to learn. And Pravuil told me: 'All the things 4 that I have told thee, we have written. Sit and write all the souls of mankind, however many of them are born, and the places prepared for them 5 to eternity; for all souls are prepared to eternity, before the formation of the world.'

ODE OF SOLOMON 12.

An exceptionally high level of spiritual thought.

1 He hath filled me with words of truth; that I may speak the same; 2 And like the flow of waters flows truth from my mouth, and my lips show forth His fruit. 3 And He has caused His knowledge to abound in me, because the mouth of the Lord is the true Word, and the door of His light; 4 And the Most High hath given it to His words, which are the interpreters of His own beauty, and the repeaters of His praise, and the confessors of His counsel and the heralds of His thought and the chasteners of His servants. 5 For the swiftness of the Word is inexpressible, and like its expression is its swiftness and force; 6 And its course knows no limit. Never doth it fail, but it stands sure, and it knows not descent nor the way of it. 7 For as its work is, so is its end: for it is light and the dawning of thought; 8 And by it the worlds talk one to the other; and in the Word there were those that were silent; 9 And from it came love and concord; and they spake one to the other whatever was theirs; and they were penetrated by the Word; 10 And they knew Him who made them, because they were in concord; for the mouth of the Most High spake to them; and His explanation ran by means of it: 11 For the dwelling-place of the Word is man: and its truth is love. 12 Blessed are they who by means thereof have understood everything, and have known the Lord in His truth. Hallelujah.
