The Bible is filled with a ‘coded’ language. In the New Testament, this coded language is referred to as the Language of Angels, because only the true messengers of God can break the code and teach it to others.

This code is not a mathematical code, which is why so-called theologians (and even scientists) cannot break the code. Only people anointed by God to teach the code to others can understand it.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. ~1 Corinthians 4:1

This is why the word ‘light’ is used in the Bible to refer to people who have been given the gift to understand the teachings of the Bible, which includes the Deeper Teachings referred to as Mysteries or meat.

Whether or not a person is given the ability to understand the mysteries of God has nothing to do with a person’s level of education, or the degree of sin they have committed in their lifetime. The privilege of understanding the deeper teachings of God depends on one thing: what’s in your heart, which only God knows.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. ~Matthew 13:11

Keep in mind that Jesus’ apostles included unlearned men.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. ~Acts 4:13

Even Jesus did not gain His understanding of the Bible by attending the religious school controlled by the religious leaders of His day. This is not to say Jesus was an unlearned man, but it is to say that He was not credentialed by anyone except God the Father!

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned? Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. ~John 7:15-16

Let’s explore how light factors into a true conversion to the Jewish faith which was known as Christianity in the first century, which by the way, is not the Christianity we have today.

The Jewish Apostle named Paul (also called Saul) was the New Testament apostle to the Gentiles – chosen by God (not man) to understand the mysteries of God. Paul was a ‘lawyer’ of the Law of Moses, so his ‘knowledge’ of the Bible was excellent, which at that time included all the Old Testament writings since the New Testament had not been written yet.

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. ~Philippians 3:5-6

I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as you all are this day. ~Acts 22:3

And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. ~Galations 1:14

Keep in mind that it was Paul’s zealousness for the Law of Moses that caused him to persecute the followers of Christ, whom Paul believed were heretics perverting the Jewish traditions. Paul was a murderer!

And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. ~Acts 22:4

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. ~Philippians 3:6

Paul (aka Saul) was on his way to slaughter the disciples of Jesus, when something incredible happened to him.

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

And as Saul journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

And Saul said, Who art you, Lord?

And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute: it is hard for you to kick against the pricks. ~Acts 9:1-5
