Separating Light from Darkness
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. :4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Luke 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
When men die, God is continuing to do His work in the
Genesis text. He is removing the
children of light from demonic tares, the children of darkness. Once He has the children brought to
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a
man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he
prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow
of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let
me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou
bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And
he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
Exodus 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Jacob misinterpreted what had happened to him. The Word of God to Moses STANDS! Jacob was wrestling with the demons riding on his body. His interpretation of the event would make God's words to Moses into a lie! And God cannot lie! Ephesians 6:12 would be written by Paul much later in time to shine light on the situation. As you can see, God is still separating light from darkness as He clarifies some errors made earlier by chosen men. We all must be measured by the Word of God. And the Word can expose and destroy the darkness we assume to be light.
Every Word that proceeds from God's mouth is TRUE … forever and ever!
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
I am sure that Moses’ account of His conversation with God on the mountain is true, and God actually spoke those Words from His own mouth. Jacob did not know very much about the powers of darkness and what God allows them to do to men.
From this you see, Father is still separating light from darkness as it appears in the legacy Word-record of the scriptures. Jacob’s conclusion is darkness. He did not see the face of God. He was wrestling with demons or “rich men” (tares) riding his own body.
In the early Biblical times, it was not time for God to tell men in plain detail about the kingdom of devils and how He was using them for slave labor. God does “work by time” and He enlightens men on Earth at His set pace and schedule. Men cannot see demons nor holy spirits from Heaven. Devils told men that they are better than us, and they rank next to God as “spirits”. Men are third-rate, because they are “made of clay”. In fact, “devils are ‘better than men’,. and demons out-rank humans”. That is garbage reasoning and a perfect example of why God told Adam and Eve, “Do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the midst of the Garden”. He was telling them allegorically, “Do not listen to devils because their mouths are full of lies and deceit”. Because Adam and Eve could not see them as spirit forms, they took over a snake’s body that is visible to them to address and converse with them. Devils had agreed among themselves to ride and rule the animals and re-establish their kingdom on Earth”. Since men cannot see devils, they might get some men to believe that evil spirits are superior to men and next to Heavenly angels in rank. And men are on the bottom as their clay bodies are proof.
The Plants God put on Earth Recall the text above where Jesus tells us “Every plant which my Father did not plant shall be rooted out”! Very well then! Let’s go back and see all the “plants the Sower put down here”, shall we?
Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the
earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and
every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters
in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. This is where He puts birds and fish life-forms in their designated
places on plant Earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.24 And
God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle,
and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their
kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw
that it was good. Here is where the Creator inserts all the
flesh and blood, animal life-forms that live on the land.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
How do demons. (IMP-Plants, or ”tares”), fit into this story Book of Enoch 10 1 Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, 2 and said to him: ('Go to Noah and) tell him in my name " Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come 3 upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape 4 and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.' And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening 5 in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may 6, 7 not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire.
Raphael made a kind of “wormhole” and slammed devils down
through it. It was really a “bottomless-pit”,
a prison-hold to contain them until their stay of execution time expires. By the time Adam and Eve were planted in the
Garden and given ownership of the whole thing, devils had mastered the animals
and abided their time until God left for
So when Jesus warned, “All that my Father hath not planted shall be rooted out”, devils knew he was addressing them as they held onto the people in the crowds. If you never understood that part of Jesus’ preaching, you do now!
Devils never believed, nor understood the account of how God made man. They thought He just molded a body for Adam and then “breathed into it” and Adam came alive. That much is written. But if they really wanted to know, they would have to do a better job of searching the scriptures. There is a slim chance of that because devils detest the Word of God and deny its truth. But a man is both “living spirit” and clay. God takes an infant spirit-seed and plants it in the clay womb of one of His daughters and nine months later, she has a bouncing baby to brag about. Angelic spirits are children of light and they all SHINE when in Heaven. But in the clay soil on Earth, God turns our light off. Earthly men do not shine. But we can shine, if God wants to terrify men and devils! What happened to Moses when he returned down the mountain from speaking to God bringing the Ten Commandments with him?! God turned his face on like a power-lamp and the people almost went nuts!
Exodus 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from
mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down
from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he
talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of
Peter, James, and John saw Jesus transfigured into glorious attire as he prayed.
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. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
God showed me His Majesty and power when I was trying to sleep in bed. I had covered my head to keep out the light. But then I woke up and He showed me a beam of light coming out of my arm. I did not panic in fear because I had grown accustomed to God and how He teaches me. However, I wondered why no devils ever talk about these events, (or we do not hear them). Then God showed me why devils can never be witnesses to the light:
Enoch 10:4 And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel
hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening 5 in the
desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and
jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever,
and cover his face that he may 6, 7
not see light.
There is always a reason why devils do not witness to seeing “light”. After all, they are the powers of darkness! They cannot RISE!
Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the
iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face
of the world with cities.
Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
So when men pass away, God and Jesus are just continuing to do their principle job of separating the spirits of the children of light, from demonic tares of darkness. Once you go upstairs they ADD OIL!
Isaiah 25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
