Pass through the thick darkness

[H6205] araphel=thick darkness

Exodus 20:21 So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness about God.

Psalm 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down with thick darkness under His feet.

2 Chronicles 6:1 Then Solomon said, The Lord has said He would dwell in the thick darkness.

Psalm 97:2 Clouds and deep darkness surround Him;

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Job 22:13 And you say, What does God know? Can He judge through the deep darkness?

When Christ was crucified the veil before the Holy of holies rent from top to bottom.

Matthew 27:51 Mark 15:38 Luke 23:45

By which we have been granted access to the throne of Grace

Roman 5:

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 Through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand,

and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,

that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 6:

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,

and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest

forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 10:

19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21 and having a High Priest over the house of God,

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled

from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

 

Within the darkness of the veil is the pure Light of Truth

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you,

that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

John 9:

4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day;

night is coming when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Luke 2:32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,

And the glory of Your people Israel.

The saints are the Light of God to a world in darkness

Matthew 5:

14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand,

and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works

and glorify your Father in heaven.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,

His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you

out of darkness into His marvelous light.

To abide in the Light is to abide in Love

1 John 2:

8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you,

because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.

10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know

where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

The Light brings us knowledge of the Glory of God, giving us victory over darkness

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light,

and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins

and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,

who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God

in the face of Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:

4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love,

and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

Walk in the Light while you have the Light

Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand.

Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
