GREETINGS. 1 John 5:19   And we know that we are of GOD  and the whole world lieth in wickedness  Many television programs and books talk about people who have a vision or dream about a light at the end of a tunnel. I have noticed lately in my life that God will use whatsoever thing He wills, to give us a little light in a dark place: our hearts. 2 Peter 1:19We have a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. We will use the word tunnel, a synonym word would be the word world: because in a tunnel you are in darkness. What is the Bible spiritual understanding of darkness and wickedness. Proverbs 4:19The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. They spiritually stumbles over God's word. King David knew he was born in darkness and so are all men and women born of a physical women. Psalm 51:5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Man in born spiritual darkness and cannot see spiritually and stumbles over arock which symbolize God' word.1 Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1Peter 2:And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Job knew man was born in darkness had nothing to do with a physical day or night. Job 3:3  Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.That day has to perish, because it was not the day of the Lord. Job 3:4  Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. Man so called false spiritual light is really darkness or his way of seeing the Bible.  Job 17:12  They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.  When you first enter a tunnel you are beholding a light dimly at the end of the tunnel. Agoraphobia, is the fear of tunnels but does moral man fear putting his thoughts on God immoral holy word? NO! 1 Corinthians 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. When God begins to revealing His word to you, now you can see the incorruptible immortal word. You are seeing the light at the end of your or tunnel or your world. Now you are on the right path, you are near the end of this spiritual tunnel as the exit get bigger and brighter. Proverbs 4:18  But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Victory you have made it out you world your or tunnel. You are over coming the world of your worldly thoughts  concerning the God's word. Ecclesiastic 3:11  He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart.
