THE EYE - PART 10

THURSDAY 29 APRIL 2026

Reference: Matthew 6:22-23 New International Version (NIV)

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness."

In this final article, I'm greatly inspired to summarize the expository structure regarding our referenced Scripture, which has to do with optical health conditions.  

From semantic analysis associated with my last article, in which I addressed the final versified segment that reads:

"If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness"...

Beloved "how great!" - is beyond just a mark made on a surface!

"How great!" is an exclamatory amazement or interjective expression from last Adam regarding "darkness" which sounds convincingly pathetic. In that connotative inference, the Lord Himself implies that unhealthy eyes can trigger the signs of multifold problematic issues and blurred visions - on account of reduced visibility. To define the extent clearly, such greatness could be summed up as total darkness.

Now watch this: 

If then the light within one person is darkness, and to a greater scope, within many people around the world is darkness, what will the greatness of that darkness amount to? Total or gross darkness! This is a descriptive formation considered as massive display of darkness, and that's profoundly significant of very large or obvious negativity.

To that effect, the New Living Translation of Isaiah 60:1-3 reads: 

"Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance" (NLT).

By giving the above passage, a great depth of examined thought, one can analytically observe that darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but if you look at your nation, you'll not see an emblem of darkness or define it clearly by simple natural or optical view. Why so? The darkness is evident in manifold mankind, whose eyes are unhealthy, resulting in their whole body being full of darkness.

Now there is another form of mankind whose eyes are very HEALTHY, but they need to arise in every nation. To that effect, in a very fitting way, [which is something Isaiah did exactly right for the situation], he called them out loudly [to get their utmost attention] by saying:

"Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you." 

Question: How can someone with healthy eyes arise? By beholding or continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of God. To instantiate this phenomenal verity, 2nd Corinthians 3:18 reads, "But we all, with uncovered face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (KJ21). 

With healthy eyes, which are a function of uncovered or unveiled face, you can continue to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror - the glory of the Lord. By the time you know it, you'll arise as a Jerusalem and beyond [I speak figuratively], to radiate a shining light, far above an ordinary standard, because the glory of the LORD, which you behold in the Word, rises and appears all over you brightly.

Then, even if the darkness as black as night, which covers all the nations of the earth, is evident around you, your light will shine brightly, and the darkness will not overcome it, because the people in whom the total darkness dwells and manifests, will begin to observe and respond to your light. To that effect, Prophet Isaiah says, "All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance." Got it?

Again whose voice was this, speaking of nations and mighty kings responding favourably to your light? It was Isaiah's voice - a major prophetic voice that prophesied about the coming of the true light clothed in Messianic figure, namely last Adam, thereby offering transcendent hope to those in deep or total darkness. He specifically added that mighty kings would come to see and witness your radiance, because he was well known for advising Kings with spoken messages inspired by a divine source, namely Supreme Deity. 

Beloved, the Bible noted in Isaiah's prophesy numbered as Isaiah 9:2, that: 

"The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine" (NLT). 

However, its not enough to see a great light, which is last Adam, one must go beyond the ordinary "seeing" impression, to behold it as in a mirror, for a greater than usual comprehension and encounter, considered as deeply spiritual. That way, the true light will shine in and through them. Shalom! 

Scripture Reading - Matthew 5:14-16; John 8:12; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Ephesians 5:8; 1 Peter 2:9.

Exuberant Declaration:

I rise daily to shine brightly; for my light is perpetually effective because it flows by the excellence of last Adam, which is an empirically-exceptional manifestation beyond the ordinary! For, even though darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the nations, the Lord shines on me, and His glory radiates all over me. Yes, the splendor of the Lord shines and sparkles on me, positioning me to stand out in my world. Hence, nations come to my light, and kings to my bright light, because the faithfulness of Supreme Deity has distinguished me from the range of total darkness. Hallelujah...Praise God!
