1/24/11 From The Lord, Our God and Savior - The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy, For a Brother in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

A brother in Christ asked this question: In the Letters, what does “darkness of faces” mean?

Thus says The Lord: It is the inner identity of a man, which has been molded and shaped by this world, revealed also in his countenance; the light of his eyes darkened due to his sins, which are many, in which he also revels, leaving the door open to all kinds of evil... A man whose face is set hard against The Lord, for there is no light in him; a man whose god is his own belly[1], a man who perceives falsely that he is an island, a lord unto himself; a man void of understanding.
In his heart he raises himself above Me, yet in truth he remains stuck in the mire of his ways, seeking always to break every pillar which I Myself have risen up and set over him, as he shakes his fist toward Heaven. He is lost in confusion; in bitterness, he wanders in the midst of deep darkness. And in his rage, thick darkness grabs hold of him leading to many dark speeches and evil deeds... He is ensnared, his face darkened, his eyes blind to the dawning of the day.

And thus men of like minds gather together in their pride,
And devise plans in their arrogance...

Asserting their false authority to gain control,
Building up pretense upon pretense in
Their vain attempt to cloak the void within...

Failing to recognize the darkness
Which surrounds them and has entered in...

Darkness among many faces...

Says The Lord.
