IMAGE - God's Puzzle Solved

14 Jesus, The Son of Manman (Psalm 24:1-3). Everything God created in theseven days was very good (Genesis 1:31). The lightthat permeated throughout the world was God’s goodness(Genesis 1:4).This goodness was God’s glory (Exodus 33:18-19).God made a distinction between light and darkness.Darkness was nothing. It was a state of death whichis non-existence. Darkness is void and chaotic. It isthe absence of life, which is God’s light. God is onlyfor the living and not for the dead (Matthew 22:32 andHebrews 3:4).Jude’s ProphecyJude warns that the false prophets and one-third of theangels, who left their first habitation, are just like Sodomand Gomorrah. They are to be in outer darknesslike the stars in heaven, forever.Jude defines outer darkness. Satan, with his angelsand the faithless, will end up wandering in outer darkness.What is outer darkness? It is like being a star,alive and wandering in darkness, as God described inthe beginning of creation. These stars wander, aimlessly,in the darkness with no purpose. They are atthe distant end of the universe. These stars give offlight, but they cannot produce life. They just wanderin the darkness without life. They do not know or seewhat or who they are. They are in outer darkness.Outer darkness is God’s prison. This is very similarto a human being confined in a dungeon with nothingto do.
