Scripture Reading Luke 11:33-38

Now that we've covered this subject from the Old Testament (which conceals the New Testament) we will move into the New Testament (which reveals the Old Testament). Smoke, fire and light have been referred to, and if I could relate these metaphors to you, they would represent the Word of God as smoke, the Holy Spirit as fire and Jesus Christ as the Light.  They are all interconnected to Israel.

Well, where is the Shining Light of Glory today?  With so much darkness in the world, how can there be any light?  If there is a false light or harmful radiation impersonating the Shining, then there likewise must be a false baptism.

Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 21:19-26

Have you ever wondered what was going on in the earth when you were born and living in your infancy and adolescence?  When I was born, the United States had entered the War in Europe for about 11 months—November 10, 1942—it was called World War 2.  The United States ONLY got into the War with the false flag attack with the Japanese at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

The Freemasons, who were leaders in all of the major powers on the earth, brought everything together—nation fighting against nation—for what?  I asked a simple question in my 5th grade Sunday School Class to a former member of the World War 2 United States Army who was our teacher:  “Why did the United States fight against Germany if we both worship the same God and instead fought on the side with the atheists of the Soviet Union?”  I thought if I was in the War, I would be praying while in my foxhole to my God to spare my life while the German would be praying to the same God to spare his!  This wouldn’t be the case if we were fighting the Soviet Union.

But the question fell off into a deep pit of apathy, when I received no good answer to my questions, and my life continued with trivial events.

I will tell you today what I have found out about the days of my youth; you don’t have to believe it—all I ask is that you just keep on studying.

Scripture Reading:  Psalms 4:1-8

As you may have noticed, we are not looking at ordinary light, we looking at biblical light.  We first started in Genesis and are going straight through the Scriptures to expand our understanding of this subject as it dovetails with the concept of baptism.  I do not mean the denominational ritual of full body immersion in water that corresponds to the practices of ancient pagan cults.  I do mean the baptism or full mentality of immersing ourselves in the Word of God as it relates to the shining light of glory.  It does not rain on a bright sunny day and neither does the darkness of evil prevail when there is a shining light of God. 

In recent years, bottled water with fancy names has become very popular because of apprehensions about tap water containing contaminants.  I was watching this gag survey on TV where they devised all these exotic names of bottled water and filled these exotic-shaped bottles with water from a garden hose, and asked people in a ritzy restaurant for their opinions.  The results were hilarious; going from one fake label of water to the next.  I mention this anecdote because, by the same token, the church doctrine of a type of dunking baptism goes way beyond what the Bible teaches about water and baptism.

The Bible indeed speaks of water baptism, quoting John the Baptist, "I baptize you with water unto repentance" (Mt. 3:11).  John was baptizing with water, but the baptism by water was a baptism of repentance… not water.  It was for the remission of sins, not getting completely wet.  Water is symbolic of God's Word, as we read in Eph. 5:26, "The washing of water by the Word."  It is used to clean the spots and wrinkles that defile our lives.  The priestcraft would have you believe that the word ‘baptize’ means to immerse. But do we immerse ourselves in water or the Word of God?  If it is the Word, then we can proceed to repent, which means to change our lives from sin to righteousness.  It is the effect of turning to God and acknowledging our need to move from darkness into His marvelous light.  It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention and by the same token God has given our race the creative resources to obey the standards of righteousness in order to be blessed and to be a blessing to others; and that’s really the kind of Paradise I want to live in.  We need not be made to feel guilty for not going through the traditions and rituals of man.  When we open our eyes and ears to the shining light of glory, we have declared and confessed our need to be washed clean; a new creature in Christ. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of wet Christians who are still in the dark.  Why is this?

Scripture Reading:  Deuteronomy 7:1-4

What happened to America?  When we were young, things were a lot different:  no illegal drugs, no rock and roll music, no dirty movies, no sexual revolution, no massive unpayable debt problems, no locked doors in many of our neighborhoods, no open homosexuals on television and movies, no same-sex marriages, and our families were not being torn up by divorce, and our moms were staying home with their children, etc.  It didn’t just “happen.”

During the last half-century, someone stole our culture!  And they replaced it with a new and very different one in its place--a sleazy and decadent place in which we live today.  The story of “how” and “why” is one of the most important parts of our nation’s history—and practically almost no one knows the story.  And that is the way our enemies what it to be.

The Shining Light of Glory Part 1

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 60:1-5

'The Shining' is the title of a weird novel and movie by jewish author Stephen King, but we're not interested in mystically demented literature or movies.  However, we're going to be looking at the fantastic, spectacular and wonderfully brilliant subject of biblical light.  Why?  Because the Scriptures have such a rich reference to not only literal light, but figurative light as well.  I've prayed for the light bulb in my head to be turned on, so that the message God wants us to see is seen. I want to shed light on seeing the light.  How often do we hope that people with whom we’ve planted the seed of Christian Identity will see the light?  Not for our sake, but for theirs.  Why is it important to have light?  So that we're not in the dark?  Naturally, there is the issue of race and poses the question of why did God create light and dark races.  And even if you don't believe in God, why did they evolve as such?  If there was just a “human race,” why not one uniform skin pigment and behavioral traits?  I believe the Bible offers us an explanation. One of the peculiar revelations of this message is that light and the New Testament baptism are very similar.  I don't think the other races can be baptized, and by that, I don't mean getting wet.  I don't think the other races can see the light as we do, so as we go along, try to replace the word light with the word baptize.  I think you'll see some interesting parallels.

The Shining Light of Glory

by Pastor Mark Downey

Light is God and His word dispels the darkness.  Darkness is ignorance of His word.

Part 1:  Definitions of light and examples of Old Testament light as metaphor and literal.  Different kinds of light explored in the book of Job.

Part 2: Where's there smoke, there's fire and where there's fire, there's light. But some people want to throw water on the shining of God's glory, as we learn more lessons from the Old Testament prophets. We examine the poetic books of Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and discuss how we live each day to the glory of God as a manifestation of the shining light of glory.

Part 3: Summing up the proposition that light, water, radiance, cleansing, repentance, baptism, purification, separation, glory and other revelations of biblical awareness all have a common denominator giving the Christian a direction towards finding the truth.
