I am

Life was in Him,

and that life was the light of men.

“This, then, is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.

The people walking in darkness

have seen a great light;
a light has dawned
on those living in the land of darkness.

“I, Yahweh, have called You
for a righteous purpose,

and I will hold You by Your hand.
I will keep You and appoint You
to be a covenant for the people
and a light to the nations,

He says,
“It is not enough for you to be My Servant
raising up the tribes of Jacob
and restoring the protected ones of Israel.
I will also make you a light for the nations,
to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.”

Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord shines over you.

Let us strive to know the Lord.
His appearance is as sure as the dawn.
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring showers that water the land.

But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

Because of our God’s merciful compassion,
the Dawn from on high will visit us

a light for revelation to the Gentiles

and glory to Your people Israel.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

I have made you
a light for the Gentiles
to bring salvation
to the ends

of the earth.”

that the Messiah must suffer, and that as the first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

Shall not

Lord, You light my lamp;
my God illuminates my darkness.

Light dawns

for the righteous,

gladness for the upright in heart.

Who among you fears the Lord,
listening to the voice of His Servant?
Who among you walks in darkness,
and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of Yahweh;
let him lean on his God.

For if God didn’t spare the angels who sinned but threw them down into Tartarus

and delivered them to be kept in chains of darkness until judgment;

and He has kept, with eternal chains in darkness for the judgment of the great day, the angels who did not keep their own position but deserted their proper dwelling.

Shall have

If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and I will continue to see the light.”

he will go to the generation of his fathers;
they will never see the light.

The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.

He also put the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
shining brighter and brighter until midday.
