*Time has been set back one year to adjust for House of Yudah's membership into the UN in 1949 CE. Originally I had the time set at 1948 CE when they became a nation, but I see now that they did not put themselves under the Babylonian king’s thumb until 1949 CE. In Yirmiyah 25:12 and Daniy'Yah 9:2, YaHVeH has established a 70 year time line for the king of Babylon to be destroyed.

1 Corinthians: 13:12:  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Scripture is taken from KJV and edited to remove blasphemous names (Rev. 17:3), words and titles and to give a more Iybriy/Hebrew rooted understanding; edited also because the "Mother of Harlots" has inserted these names to cover up the names of YaHVeH/יהוה and HIS Ben Yahvshua/יהושׁוּע, and to counterfeit a Babylonian Greco-Roman "god", "lord" "Jesus" "Christ"…etc. and promote its demonic idolatrous pagan customs and "holidays" by replacing YaHVeH's Sabbaths (Dan. 7:25).

Ephesians: 5:8: For you all were sometimes darkness, but now are you all LIGHT in the Rabbi: walk as children of LIGHT:

Have you ever considered why Shaul/Saul/Paul made this statement in his letter to the Ephesians? If your foundation is based on Ephesians 2:20 you will understand what Shaul was and is still saying. Where from scriptures did Shaul receive this idea that we are to be children of LIGHT? As I stated previously if our foundation is based on Ephesians 2:20:

Ephesians: 2:20:  And are built on the foundation of the emissaries, nebiyiym/foretellers and Yahshua Messiah Himself being the chief corner stone;

Our foundation is not just built on the New Covenant Emissaries or just the four books of the Messianic Writings. We are also built on the nebiyiym. With this understanding we can begin to comprehend why Shaul had this concept of us being “children of LIGHT”. Turn to Yesha'Yah/Isaiah 8:20:

Yesha'Yah: 8:20:  To the Torah/law and to the testimony/tehudah: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no LIGHT in them.

From e-Sword Scripture Program of Strong’s Concordance, the word for “light” in Iybriyiym/Hebrews is (edited):

H7837

Shachar

Shakh’-ar

From H7836; dawn (literally, figuratively or adverbially): - day (-spring), early, light, morning, where rises.

This is interesting. The nabiy (Eph. 2:20) Yesha'Yah referred to “…the Torah and to the tehudah…” as “LIGHT”! How can this be if Yahshua Himself said He is the LIGHT? Turn to Yahvhanan/Yahn/Yohn 8:12:

Yahvhanan: 8:12:  Then spoke Yahshua again to them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the LIGHT of life.

From e-Sword computer Scripture program, which uses Strong’s Concordance, the word in the Greek for “light” is (edited):

G5457

φῶς

Pho¯s

Foce

From an obsolete φάω phao¯ (to shine or make manifest, especially by rays; compare G5316 and G5346); luminousness (in the widest application, natural or artificial, abstract or concrete, literal or figurative): - fire, light.

Yahshua clearly says: “I am the LIGHT of the world”. How can this be? How can “the Torah and the tehudah” be LIGHT and Yahshua be “LIGHT”?

Do you believe what 2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Kepha 1:21 says?

2 Timothy: 3:16:  All scripture is given by motivation of YaHVeH, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Kepha 1:21:  For the nebuah/foretelling came not in old time by the will of man: but kadosh men of YaHVeH spoke as they were moved by the Ruach ha`Kodesh .

If you believe this as I do then you can begin to recognize that Yahshua was making a point when He said He is “the LIGHT of the World”. He was pointing to scripture and what had already been said. The two cannot be separated. The LIGHT equals Yahshua. The LIGHT equals the Torah/Law and the tehudah/testimony. The one does not do away with the other.

The “Law”, which is called by the "Jews"/Yahudiym the “Torah”, which is the first five books of the Old Covenant called also the Pentateuch written by Mosheh/Moses. It is in these books YaHVeH hid the mystery of HIS Ben Yahshua (Romans 16:25). Men of old did not totally comprehend these “schoolmaster” that were pointing to and representing Yahshua (Galatians 3:24). Yahshua Himself makes mention that it is in the writings of Mosheh, the Nebiyiym and T`hiyliym/Psalms He is revealed:

Luke: 24:44: And He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law/Torah of Mosheh, and in the nebiyiym, and in the t`hiyliym, concerning Me.

It is in the writings of Mosheh we find the Ten Commandments spoken directly from the Word of YaHVeH to the assembly of Yisrael. All the people heard the Word of YaHVeH’s voice. HE did not just speak to Mosheh. It was what was spoken by the voice of YaHVeH that was written on stone tablets and placed INSIDE the ark. It is called the eduth/testimony (Shemoth/Exodus 20; 25:16, 21-22; 26:33-34; 31:18; Dabariym/Deut. 4:9 – 13; 1 Melekiym/Kings 8:9). See article: 38) "Hear MY Voice"

Let me say it again. Yahshua = LIGHT = the Torah/Law and the eduth/testimony. These cannot be separated. Read Yahvhanan/Yahn 3:14 – 21. Verse 19 – 21 convey the point I want to focus in on:

Yahvhanan/Yahn: 3:19:  And this is the judgment, that LIGHT is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than LIGHT, because their deeds were evil.

20. For every one that does evil hates the LIGHT, neither comes to the LIGHT, unless his deeds should be reproved.

21. But he that does truth comes to the LIGHT, that his deeds be made manifest, that they are wrought in Elohiym.

Remember Yahshua was talking to Nicodemus who was a Pharisee. If Nicodemus was well studied (Yahvhanan 3:10) in the scriptures he should have known that Yahshua was making reference to what the nabiy Yesha'Yah said in chapter eight verse twenty. Of course the scriptures were not marked chapter and verse in Nicodemus’ day, but he would have remembered it was in the book of Yesha'Yah. Notice verse 21: “he that does truth comes to the LIGHT”, it is through Yahshua (Dabariym 4:12; Yahn 1:1; 17:5) that YaHVeH spoke (Yahn 8:58) HIS Ruach Torah/Law (Romans 7:14) to the assembly of Yisrael at Mount Sinai. If we love truth we then will confess that Yahshua is the Ben of YaHVeH and that it is through Him that YaHVeH’s Law/Torah was given. This Law found in Shemoth/Exodus 20 exposes darkness. By accepting Yahshua as the Lamb slain from the foundation of world (Yahn 1:29; Revelation 13:8), the Mashiyach, the Ben of YaHVeH (Mattith`Yah/Matthew 16:16) and High Kohen (Iybriyiym/Heb. 7), we can then confess that we are sinners (Shemoth 20) and turn from our continual deliberate disobedience against YaHVeH (1 Yahn 1:9). We can then come to the point to be immersed under water (Acts 2:38) in the name of YaHVeH by the authority of Yahshua ha'Mashiyach and the Ruach ha'Kodesh so YaHVeH can give HIS Set Apart Ruach to us. This is how we are circumcised without hands (Colossians 2:11). See article:

11) What is the Circumcision without hands?

The emissary Shaul used this word “LIGHT” throughout his epistles to the Body of Yahshua. No one and I mean no one can ever say that Saul did not teach the “Ruach” Torah/Law (Shemoth 20; Romans 7:14)! Shaul taught the Ruach Torah because it was taught to him through Yahshua Mashiyach our Rabbi (Acts 9; Galatians 1:12). Here is another example of Shaul using this word:

Romans: 2:17: Observe, you are called a Yahudiy, and rest in the Torah/Law, and make your boast of YaHVeH,

Romans: 2:18: And know HIS will, and approve of the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Torah;

Romans: 2:19: And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a LIGHT of them, which are in darkness,

Romans: 2:20: An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Torah.

Romans: 2:21: You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? You that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?

Romans: 2:22: You that says a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?

Romans: 2:23: You that make your boast of the Torah, through breaking the Torah dis-respect your Elohiym?
