The Shining Light of Glory Part 1

by Pastor Mark Downey

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.

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.

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. 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. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

The Olympics: Showcase of the New World Order

Scripture Reading: Revelation 12:9-10

I will begin by quoting from a book written about Freemasons.  It tells a great deal about who is/was a Freemason and the deeds that they did or accomplished.  It also tells that symbols “play a key role in the world of Freemasonry.” 

I will begin by quoting what it says about some of the symbols of Freemasonry:

All seeing eye:  a diffuse symbol that can be traced back to ancient Egyptian mythology, for Freemasons the eye in a triangle surrounded by radiating beams of light is a symbol for the ‘Great Architect of the Universe.’”

Pillars:  the two pillars that adorn the entrance area of the meeting room in lodges refer to Jachin and Boaz, the pillars of the Temple of Solomon.  They are expression of justice and benevolence, and thus the cornerstones of humanity.”

Light:  every Freemason is a ‘seeker of light,’ while those not yet initiated are wandering in the dark.  Light is thus the symbol of initiation.”

We will get a few quotes about their involvement in the American Revolution and the founding of this nation:

The Catholic Menace Part 4

by Pastor Mark Downey

July 8, 2012

Scripture Reading: Mark 12:1-12

This is the final installment of ‘The Catholic Menace’ although the damning evidence could go on and on.  It makes one wonder with astonishment how anyone having the racial ability to hear the voice of Jesus Christ can follow a religion of “Fathers.”  “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven” Mt. 23:9.  Some children call their father “papa” and that’s not forbidden, but the papacy insisted upon calling their “bishop of bishops’ the Pope and a substructure of Father-Priests.  But the word "father" also denotes authority, eminence, superiority, a right to command, and a claim to holy reverence. In this sense it belongs eminently to God, and is not a right of men.   White Christians are equal coworkers in the vineyard of the Lord and only God has supreme authority.  Catholics have done much to consolidate church power, but very little to advance the Kingdom of God; Daniel prophesied of an antichrist kingdom that would “Change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25) and Bible scholars have identified this fourth beast as the Roman Catholic Church, that will “Speak great words against the Most High.”  Hey, Israel’s calendar is gone, but we got a catholic Christmas.
