“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14

It was not the Walmart coat she wore that made people turn their heads when she walked by. Nor was it the way she had fixed her hair that frosty morning. It wasn’t even the sky blue scarf she wore around her neck. Still, everyone saw it, everyone wanted it, yet no knew what they saw. Fran had something far more than human capabilities can produce. Fran had a brightness, a freshness, a certain magnetism, and people were drawn to it. Her face radiates an invisible light that eyes do not see. Moreover, those who think they know what it is that attracts them to her,  are not aware that they could see this particular light even with their eyes closed. Perhaps even more surprising is that Fran doesn’t see it either, but she is cloaked in Light.

VISIBLE - TANGIBLE LIGHT

Perhaps more important is that the light indwelling Fran is not only visible, it is tangible - you can feel it, it has density, mass, volume, and it is alive. It is living light. Over the millennia many have wanted this “living light.” They have tried to buy it, they have tried to manufacture it, they have tried to imitate it, and when they found they could accomplish any of that - they tried to kill it. Little did they know that this tangible, eternal light is free, yet it is more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, and incomprehensible in its nature.

So is it with you. As you stand here, you are being filled, indwelt, and cloaked with this very unusual light. In a very strange and wonderful manner, you have returned to the source of Light you were intended to have from the beginning. The full absorption does not happen instantly, but as you stand in this final Room of Mystery, Eternal Light and temporal man join and become one again. Timelessness and time somehow mingle together and you become an everlasting life.

THE HEAVEN AND EARTH CONNECTION

Somehow, you remember, you have no shoes on your feet and you can feel the dust of the Earth between your toes and even sense it falling softly around each foot. It is as if God has called the Earth to bare witness to this moment, this is why your feet are bare; Heaven and Earth touch through you. You are a connector between Heaven and Earth. Therefore, when you feel God, the Earth feels Him through you. This is what both of you were created for. Earth to help man, man to steward Earth; both revealing the Glory of God. This is, in essence, why Matters of the Earth are important to man.

You are beginning to understand so much more, being a light of the world is far more real and weightier than you previously thought. You are not yet “one” with the light and so it is still uncomfortable for you to look very long at the Light from the Mercy Seat. A far deeper realization permeates every cell in your body that it is by Grace you are here and through Mercy that you are still alive.

SUBCELLULAR UNDERSTANDING

As the Light enters you, you are aware of strange things happening in your body. It is as if you are coming apart at a cellular level. But, how do you know that? You discover that your awareness has infinitely increased. There is no feeling of pain, only total awareness of how you were created, awareness of every cell in your body, even awareness of sub-cellular and sub-atomic particles that Science hasn’t discovered yet. This Light is far more than Light, it is the Substance of Creation and in its entrance into you it is regenerating you. You are reconceived! You understand how you were created, but that memory will eclipse your understanding once you return to a more Earthly environment. That memory is for another time yet ahead - it will return then.

DISORIENTATION FROM HEAVENLY EVENTS

In your reconstitution, things seem a little dizzy now. The Cherubim woven in the covering thirty feet above you seem alive. Have they changed? Are they really there? This Final Room of Mystery is so different! The covering seems so high, far higher than it did in the First Room of Mystery. Perhaps it is only the smallness of the room that makes it seem so high. It is still twenty cubits high (or thirty feet)? None-the-less, that still makes it twice as tall as it is wide. As you continue to look around in AWE, you notice that the amber colored vapor of smoke is even more brilliant in color. And it is so thick in this room, it swirls as if wings of angels were fanning it. You also notice that the vapor of smoke seems just as thick at the top of the room as it is at the bottom. You cannot help but think, “Truly this is an unearthly environment,” and you so are thankful you have your feet on the ground.

When the Light of the Creator has completed It’s current task within you, you will radiate light at levels you have never imagined. You will need to know the truth and reality of that at a spiritual level once you leave this Light and go back into the darkness that fills the earth and the gross darkness that fills the people. It is there you will find the “Dark Night of the Spirit.”

We have more to cover before we fully address that topic.

Blessings,

John Paul

“Bless the LORD, O my soul!

O LORD my God, You are very great:

You are clothed with honor and majesty,

Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,

Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.”

Psalms 104:1-2

Perhaps it is the light, perhaps it is the vapor of smoke around you, perhaps it is simply pure adrenalin, or perhaps it is entirely something else you have yet to discover, but you now notice that you feel full of vibrant health here. There are no migraines, there is no cancer, not even the smallest defect in your skin can be seen here. All your cells are functioning at full, created capacity. It is as if the Kingdom of Heaven has come to Earth, and in one great sense it has. In this mysterious Holy of Holies none of the elements of the Fall of Man exist. There is no sin to contaminate your DNA let alone the room. The anti-creation effect of darkness cannot exist in the presence of the Holy Creator.

BEFORE THE FALL

The purpose of this room is not only to reveal the Glory of God to mankind, but also to reveal to mankind what it was like before the Fall. Humans were clothed in light back then. It was not uncomfortable for man to walk with God, God’s light was not blinding. Why? Man, made in the image of God was also cloaked in light. However man, after the Fall, wrote that God dwells in “unapproachable light” (1 Timothy 6:16). Darkness finds it difficult to be in the presence of Light. That is one reason why the demons shrieked at the presence of Jesus.  It is painful for darkness to approach pure light. However, man before the Fall, made in the image and likeness of God, was covered with light and as such could walk with God without feeling out of place. Light walked with man who was clothed with light.

CLOTHED IN LIGHT

When sin, disobedience to God’s ways and word, entered Adam and Eve - the light left. Even today, light cannot dwell with darkness and darkness cannot dwell with light. When the covering of light lifted from Adam and Eve, they both saw each other’s outward, physical appearance for the first time and they “knew they were naked.” Their clothing of light was gone. Without the distinctive atmosphere of God’s presence, Adam and Eve were left cold, naked, and afraid. The protective covering of God’s glory was no longer there. Vulnerability to to a power which sought to over throw God confronted them. But, in this Holy Room, God is seeking to restore the presence of His light to you, to make you a light of the world.

LIGHT IS EVERYWHERE

The thickness of the air in this Final Room of Mystery seems to press against your face, it is as if the Light, the air, and the vapor of smoke all carried a weightiness. Strangely, it seems so light, and effortless as it enters your lungs. In the previous room, the Holy Place, light reflected from the two side walls, but in this room the light reflects from three golden walls, the two side walls and the wall directly in front of you. Light is everywhere. You now understand at a far deeper level why it is said that the Holy of Holies is the one place where the presence of God rested. Even if it was only His “footstool” this presence is life altering.

THE SMALLER ROOM

As your eyes are adjusting to the light, you can see the room is so much smaller than any room you have been in so far. It is exactly half the size of the room you just came from (ten cubits by ten cubits or about fifteen feet by fifteen feet). In the middle of the room stands what seems to be the only piece of furniture in here, but it is actually two pieces - the Ark of the Covenant or Testimony and the Mercy Seat. Everything in this room is covered with gold and the Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy seat are no exception. The Brass of the Outercourt will not work in here.

HISTORY

This is the Room where God talked with Moses and gave Him divine instructions for the Hebrew Children. Only the Priest could enter here and that was just once a year - but here you are and you are alive, all because of the blood of the lamb covers you. Therefore, you as priest, as well as a prophet, and a King, can enter here. He has opened the Veil for you. He longs to commune with you. He wants to give you divine instructions to pray and communicate to His people.

RECOVERING THE LIGHT OF HIS PRESENCE

Jeremiah predicted that the Children of Israel would lose the Ark and no one would care. God is looking for a people to care again - not for the Ark as a piece of furniture, but for the Light of His presence. In that presence is the fullness of life as it was originally meant to be. The fullness of life that you were created to have.

Blessings,

John Paul
