Eternal Darkness

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life. For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us. That which we have seen and heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father; our Adonai, Yeshua the Messiah!
And these things we write unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message, which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you; that Elohim is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not know truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship, one with another, and the blood of Messiah Yeshua, Adonai, cleans us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (1Jo 1:1–10)

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you; because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines. He that says he is in the light, and hates another, is in darkness even until now. Those that Love others, abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in them. But those that hate others, are in darkness, and walk in darkness, and do not know where they go, because that darkness has blinded their eyes. (1Jo 2:8–11)

Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour. Therefore resist, steadfast in faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1Pe 5:8–9)

Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things, comes the wrath of Elohim upon the children of disobedience. Be not therefore, partakers with them. For you were sometimes darkness, but now are you light in the Lord; walk as children of light. For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth, proving what is acceptable unto the Lord, and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things that are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatsoever does make manifest, is light. Therefore he says: Awake, you that sleeps, and arise from the dead, and Messiah Yeshua shall give you light. (Eph 5:6–14)   {cf. Matt 6:22–24}

If Elohim was your Father, you would Love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from Elohim; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you cannot hear My word! You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. (John 8:42–44)   {cf. Rev 21:8}

The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd! The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep. (John 10:10–13)
