Hi, I am her son, Benjamin.
I am sitting here and typing out the notes and relating to you how she has responded to my notes as she tells me what she wants to say to you.
She had been sleeping but when I arrived she got up and spoke to me about what she was talking about here. So I have volunteered to step in with her for a few minutes to help her speak clearly what she has been trying to say. And she says that makes her sleep better.
She will be long back in bed, if I can get her there, before I have finished this for you, although, that might be hoping too much on my part. I have taken from her by notes what she wants me to tell you and she showed me where to paste it.
She had the experiences and stories taught to her directly from her parents who lived it. That is why she is not simply supposing. My grandparents.
She said it all begins here, KJV: I John 1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
She said that God did not bring darkness but he brought light to the earth, KJV: Genesis Chapter 1 [1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
She said to tell you to now remember that it was to the earth that God brought light and do not forget that God brought light to the earth to divide away darkness that we should walk so as to keep the darkness divided away from ourselves just as God decreed, and that is John's mental view of it as is all of the Bible writers.
She said to tell you that this is how John saw it, KJV: I John 1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Now she wants to walk you through the scriptures so you can see how that mental view gets to John, that God came with the light, not to bring darkness that we should walk in blindness, but, to chase away the darkness by dividing it away from the light. And I want you to know how much it honors you that she trust you to share with you that you too may be keepers of these truths. Indeed that God does.
She said to got to this Psalm of David and receive what David meant, KJV: Psalms 82:5. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
She said David says that God brought light to the earth as it's foundation but Adam and thus all men walked away from that light, preferring to live and walk in darkness rather than to keep that darkness divided away and let God be their light at all times. That is what Revelation 22:5 means.
The foundations of the earth which are out of course as David said, are, (1) Let there be light. (2) Let a division be maintained between the light and the darkness, as in have no sharing with it, but men ought to be on their highest guard and not sleeping at night, for those that practice sin do so at night.
KJV: Romans Chapter 13 [11] And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. [12] The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
KJV: Psalms 134:1. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.
KJV: Psalms 139:12. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
KJV: Proverbs Chapter 7 [9] In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: [10] And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
KJV: John Chapter 11 [9] Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. [10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
KJV: I Thessalonians 5:2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
KJV: I Thessalonians Chapter 5 [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. [8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. [9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
So then if you follow line of thought through those scriptures then you can see how John obtained obtained his view and know for sure what his view was.
Men are not walking as though God in whom only is light has brought them that light. Men are not walking as though God divided the light from the darkness that we should walk in the light instead of in darkness,all the foundations of the earth are out of course just as David said at Psalms 82:5 and the surrounding context.
I have to get out of here, but she wants me to help her explain more. She made it back to bed long ago and it will please her that I was able to do this much from her notes when she sees it. She is very frail and I am trying to encourage her to not be so eager, which is kind of a catch 22 as she draws such great joy from it.
Thank you for being understanding. I really have to run now for I think I have someone else to do some answering to.
Love, Benjamin
