There was a beginning. No, really. That’s why it says, “In the Beginning.” That is also why the LORD says that He is the Beginning and the End. There were former things. That’s why the Bible says, “The first estate.” Remember, the LORD doesn’t lie. In Him is only truth. With the Light of Life, we can see the secrets and mysteries of the Bible revealed. as well as find all that can be uncovered. The only prerequisite is, “to become as little children.” The time of the Apocalypse is nothing more than the time of revelation. The truth needs to be searched for so that we can discover more than what you would by reading only a verse here and there.  “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” – Daniel 12:4. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” – Matthew 7:7-8.

Let us now dive deep into our discovery, of the very beginning. Remember what I said. The LORD God doesn’t lie. The Bible is true. All of it. The simplicity, yet difficult to stomach, is as simple as believing what it is telling us. I won’t try to sway you with great speech, words of woe, or the old bait and switch. I will show you the simplicity that is Christ. I will simply show you the Word. Let me take the understanding of becoming as little children and shine a light on it with a Biblical perspective. Let’s say that I have a next door neighbor that has twins. They are both five years old. As typical with most five year old’s, they are prone to believe just about anything that you would tell them. I look over the fence and they are playing in the yard. I look intently at them and say, “your father’s the devil.” They both look at each other with fear and angst and say to each other, “our father’s the devil!!!” They both go running, screaming, and crying into their home. That is the beginning of how to understand the Bible. First and foremost, before anything else, whatever it says, is what it means. “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do… And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” – John 8:44-45.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. – Isaiah 51:1-3.

In the Beginning, there was God. Jesus tells us in John 10:34, “Is it not written in your law, I said ye are gods?” The Mystery of the Bible number one, who are we and where do we come from?

You may be saying to yourself at this point, “Man, this guy has truly lost his mind.” Or, “What’s going on, is it even possible?” Possibly, even some expletives. Yet, there are more Scriptures that bear this out than I can even count. I have lost track of how many there truly are. When you seek the LORD with your whole heart, you will find every answer that you seek, if you humble yourself before Him. Another good place to look for more on this secret mystery of the Bible would be, The Gospel Of Repentance. It takes this understanding, reviews it, and expands further on it. There are additional posts, and eBook’s on this subject as well.

As we continue our Journey with the “Father of Heavenly lights,” after we have gained this understanding, we begin to seek more of who He is in the Word. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” – Hebrews 11:6. As Jesus was being tempted by Satan, the deceiver said to him, “Command that these stones be made bread.” Jesus responded, “Man shall not LIVE by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of GOD.” Our Life comes by knowing Him through His Word and with His Spirit. Not portions, bits here and there, but by knowing the LORD.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.” – Proverbs 14:12-15. I will leave you with one other post for you to consider as you continue on your journey of faith.

Once our eyes and ears have been opened to the Way and the Truth, we have been tasked with taking our newness of LIFE and sharing it with others. “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:13-16.
