NO MORE NIGHT--NO MORE DARKNESS

After the One-Thousand-Year Reign of our Lord Jesus, then comes the last battle and final judgment. We who believe and are saved will witness the coming down of the NEW JERUSALEM, our Eternal home where there will be no more night.

In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed. {Rev 21:25}

"No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light, And your God for your glory. And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. {Isa 60:19, Rev 21:23; 22:5}

But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; - giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. {1Pe 2:9}

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,- for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light,- for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;  so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. {Col 1:12-13-Eph 5:8-1Th 5:5-6}

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.  (19)  The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble. {Pro 4:18-19}

HE IS RISEN

HAVE YOU HEARD? OUR LORD HAS RISEN!

Joh 20:1-29  Now on the first day of the week [SUNDAY] Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.  So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."  

So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.   The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;  and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.  

And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,  and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.   So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.   For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.  

So the disciples went away again to their own homes.    But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;   and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.    And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."    When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.    Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."    Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).    Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"    Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.  

So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you."    And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.    So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."    And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.   "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."  

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.    So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."  

After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."    Then He said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."    Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"    Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

Luk 24:50-53  [After being seen by over 500 believers, Jesus was ready to ascend into heaven] And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.    While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.  [ Angels appeared and told them that THIS JESUS WILL RETURN IN LIKE MANNER]   And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,   and were continually in the temple praising God.
