| In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, New Jerusalem has no need of the sun or the moon, but rather the Lamb (Jesus) is the light of the city. Until that day, Paul admonishes all Christians to ''"put on the armour of light"'', which is the Word of God. | | In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, New Jerusalem has no need of the sun or the moon, but rather the Lamb (Jesus) is the light of the city.

| ===Deliverance and blindness caused by the Light===
| |
| :''It's Jesus Christ, that--that same Light appeared to Peter and delivered him out of the prison. The same Light appeared to Paul smote him blind, took him down... You said, "Did He smite him blind?" Yes, sir, the Bible said It did. And that's the same thing It'll do to people. Today, if you won't accept Light, the Light will put your eyes out, and you'll walk in darkness. You'll either receive it or reject it, is that right? So believe with all your heart.''

| ===The Light appearing today===
| |
| :''Has anybody ever seen the picture of the Light, the Angel of the Lord, the Pillar of Fire? It's... They got it. Scientists has it. Washington has it. Now, the Church has got it in reality. They got it on a picture. You've got it in reality. It's here with us. It's leading us just as it led Israel, still leading the Church. Jesus said, "I come from God." Do you believe that Jesus was that--was that burning bush that Moses--was out there? You believe that was Christ? It was the--the Angel of the Covenant, the Logos that went out of God, Christ.''

| ===Expecting the Light===
| |
| :''God will reveal Himself to those who are expecting Him. The Magis were expecting to see the Star of Jacob rise. They were from the East, and they'd listened to Balaam's prophecy, which said that there would be a Star of Jacob rise. And they were looking for It. They was expecting It. And they were the ones who seen It.''

| ===The position of the Church===
| |
| :''And Christ is the Son Who's gone to glory and shining on the Church with the same kind of Light He shined when He was here. And the Church is the Light of the world until Jesus comes and it all melts together, like the moonlight and the sunlight becomes one light when it emerges together. When Christ and His Church comes together at the great millennium, they emerge into One.
