Theme "Arise and Shine"
Isaiah 60:1-2
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
64-0112 - Shalom
Rev. William Marrion Branham
We’re facing here, in our two subjects that we read, the two Scriptures, rather, a very contrast, one to the other. In Isaiah, it says, “Arise, and shine, for the glory of God has come upon you. The Light is here.” And then the very next verse, he says, “Gross darkness is upon this people.” And then when we are in a mixtury of Light and darkness, and then my address to the Church is “Shalom, peace, let’s find out what it’s all about.” See? We are facing this year, with both darkness and Light. We are…the world is in one of the most chaotic times of darkness that it’s ever stood in; and yet it’s standing in, again, the most blessed Light that it ever did shine in.
The difference is just like it was in the beginning, when there was gross darkness upon the earth. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water and said, “Let there be light.” And God separated the light from the darkness. And I believe that we are now living in that hour again, that when God is separating Light from darkness, and He’s pressing it to the other side of the world, that the Light might be made manifest.
