1Thess.5:4 But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

Many Christian's have been taught and think light come from their efforts in studying God's word the bible. They further believe, though not stated by them, they supply themselves oil from God by their works in studying God's word the bible, but they are sadly mistaking, even grossly so!

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

Christ is the light, not them, Christian's are vessel of the life of Christ which is the light in them, and the oil in them. The flesh of sin is darkness and cannot know the light of Christ. It is the self-will of our flesh that puts us into darkness where the day of the Lord overtakes all flesh caught in a snare. Christian's have put themselves at the center of God's will and purposes by the mind of the flesh when they think they are the light instead of being filled with light of Christ by him indwelling them by faith.

2 Corinthians 4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"{Genesis 1:3} who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Romans 2:19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness.

There is no self-salvation found in mankind's flesh. There is one name given among men for salvation, and none other, Christ Jesus, the light of our world, and the will of God for those a part of his life. Now with that thought in mind, we can understand Paul's words above, but if we wander into the fleshly mind lusting for knowledge by legal analysis of Spirit and truth words; losing the originality from God's Holy Spirit, which bore Paul along, not by his fleshly will, or thoughts, but God's as his creator. We will come up short, and in death where the day of Lord takes us as a thief because salvation we believe comes from our flesh and its thinking is a profound thief we all like and love.

John 11:10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him."

John 3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

The light comes from above, and is given us freely by God's love, light does not come from mankind's intellect, and that is the reason for some two thousand's years, and in every generation mankind has gotten the coming of the Lord wrong! Emphatically wrong each and every time, because they were not the light or the oil. They were just as they are flesh and blood reading the bible thinking they are the light, and oil of God word by their studying.

Isaiah 40:5 The glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."

Daniel 2:19 Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Daniel 2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

Matthew 11:25 At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.

Matthew 16:17 Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Flesh is not humble as Christ who was filled with the life of his Father YHWH on earth whom did nothing from his own originality, not even private interpretation of end time prophecy. Christ did not speak from his own will, or originality, and that is why for some two-thousand's years boasters in proud flesh has filled that vacuum with blasphemy discrediting the name of God on earth by men, and woman claiming to speak the Spirit of God to others. They have no fear of being wrong or adding to God's word the bible because they are thief's that is their nature, and their job because they don't understand the flesh lusting against the Spirit.

Proverbs 30:12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

Jude 1:8 Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.
1:9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!"
1:10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don't know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things. 1:11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah's rebellion.

Flesh is presumptuous, it take the ground of the wheat, its takes the spirit truth of God Spirit and claims them as discovered by them, and they make themselves the giver of them to others, but they are in darkness taking by the lust of their fleshly mind alienated from the light of Christ and his oil. They are foolish slaves feeling entitled, equal as it were to Christ by God's own kindness given freely to all. They stay in the proud flesh building a name, glorified by their food and folder in feeding others to maintain some power, recognition from flesh, but they are a thief and in darkness, not having the light.

Eph.2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 2:7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
2:9 not of works, that no one would boast.
2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

They have by their presumptuousness taken the power of Holy Spirit and made it into the power of their wonderful goodness in saving others by their great understanding of God's word.

Philip. 2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;

Salvation has come, it has been given to each one of Christ body members, it not based upon knowledge of the end times, or upon some pursuit of hidden knowledge of the wicked conspiracy of Satan world governments. No! It is depended upon the one thing that cannot change, God, and his promise of eternal life if we believe in Christ. But this is beneath the proud flesh making for itself a name among flesh as important. The flesh teaches just as the Devil taught the Father of the lie that salvation depends upon mankind's knowledge of hidden truth, God has wickedly not give us! Yes, they teach God is handing his own children a violent serpent to bit them when asking for a fish. They project their own evil heart as God's heart into all they teach calling its faith, faith in what salvation? By what name? The flesh, which flesh is of no value at all to salvation!

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

John 5:24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
