In scriptures we always see darkness associated with those who are heathen and label them as being outside the covenant. The problem has always been with us seeing the outside rather than introspecting and making our calling and election sure.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
While it is true that the heathen are in darkness, it is also true that those who do not understand his covenant are associated with the darkness. The Light of Gen 1:3 is only seen by those whom the Yahuah will make to come near him, the rest will be outside in the THICK DARKNESS.
Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Alahim moved upon the face of the waters.
The condition of the world with the absence of the LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD (2 Corin 4:6) is seen in the condition stated in Gen 1:2. 'Without form, void, darkness' and above all Spirit of Alahim moving upon these waters of darkness. I read that text so many times before but never saw until now what it means when it says 'the Spirit of Alahim moved upon the face of the waters/deep where there was DARKNESS'.
It was Alahim's intention that not all would see/understand the light of his knowledge which would be revealed through his Son Messiah Yahusha (2 Corin 4:6). The separation of Day from Night, light for Darkness was his ordinance.
David when he was saved from the hand of Saul describes prophetically about this DARKNESS. Saul was the one who prophesied as one of the prophets, the people once spoke of him saying " Is Saul also among the prophets"
1Sa 10:11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
But the one who seemed to be a 'prophet of Yahuah' was the enemy of his anointed. He was not on the side of Yahuah but against him, trying to kill his 'anointed'. David prophetically describes the appearance of Alahim who delivered him from his enemy Saul.
I am taking both these verses from 2 Sam 22:10-12 and Psalms 18:9-11 which are parallel verses and speak of Alahim bowing down the heavens and coming down and darkness being under his feet. Pslams 18:11 says 'He made darkness his secret place and his pavilion round about him were dark waters'. When spiritually compared to Gen 1:2 we see a spiritual picture of Alahim hiding his face with an outer layer of the thick darkness which none of those chosen for salvation will ever get to see.
2Sa 22:10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
Ps 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
On the other hand Alahim is the one who delivers his people from the great waters of darkness in which are these STRANGE CHILDREN. These strange children are those who have come along with Japehth (father of the Gentiles), while the Gentiles attained salvation and entered the tents of Shem (Gen 9:27), the strange children are those who came along with them and dwelt in the OUTER COURT where there is this thick darkness.
Ps 144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
That is why they are not able to see 'WHO CHRIST IS' because the darkness under the feet of Alahim (prophetically stated in 2 Sam 22:10) makes them only see him as a 'Sacrificial candidate' but they can't see his 'DEITY'. They can't see beyond that thick darkness. While there are others who claim to believe in his DEITY they actually believe in a 'diluted deity gospel' and all part of the distorted pattern.
The elect of Alahim dwell above that darkness, that's why those not chosen for salvation cannot discern who are the elect of Alahim whereas those under the shadow of his wings can discern who the enemies of Messiah are.
Ps 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Ps 31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Ps 25:14 The secret of the YAHUAH is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
In the OT Alahim paints a spiritual picture showing us the difference between those outside of the thick darkness and those who cross that thick darkness to see the LIGHT.
Ps 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
Ex 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where Alahim was.
What is interesting to see is that the law on the tablets of stone came to those who were standing outside viewing the thick darkness
De 5:22 These words the YAHUAH (Yahuah) spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
In the law was hidden/sealed the mystery of Alahim
Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath Alahim the Father sealed.
The 'meat that perisheth' is the understanding which is shadowy/thick darkness which those not chosen for salvation always 'Labor' for and are killed by the 'letter' because they cannot eat the meat which gives everlasting life.
2Co 3:6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Here is where one has to wisely discern. All these years the various denominations/churches have taught that it speaks of Jews who rejected the gospel of grace, while that is partly true, the fact is all those so called Messiah followers who abide outside of that thick darkness are the carnal Messiahians who cannot see the 'spirit' and do not understand his covenant. They have a different version of the gospel.
They pursue the elect thinking the elect are the enemies of the gospel and persecute them. They would get a shock of their lives when they would see that they are the ones who are deceived into believing a false gospel. This picture can be seen in Egypt (the false brethren of Israel ) pursuing the children of Israel. In my study on this blog 'Gog and Magog' I have shared on this briefly. Here is a portion of that message
'Of the sons of Ham came kingdoms like Babel later named as Babylon, Philistines, Canaanites (Jebusites, Hivites etc) who were arch enemies of Israel. Two such kingdoms I did not mention in my previous study were Egypt & Sodom and Gomorrah. Here is proof from scripture that Egyptians & Sodom & Gomorrah were descendants of Ham.
Ps 105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Ps 106:21 They forgat Alahim their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.' End of quote.

In pursuing the children of Israel Alahim shows us the spiritual picture of the thick darkness which came between the camp of Egypt and the children of Israel and while the camp of Israel got the light the camp of Egypt was in thick darkness
Ex 14:19 And the angel of Alahim, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
These are the words of Alahim to Job
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Alahim shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12 ¶ Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
These words are spirit and they are truth. They reveal that when Alahim would lay the cornerstone i.e. Messiah only the morning stars (elect) would rejoice because they would be dwelling in the light but outside are those who can only see the thick darkness which Alahim set as BARS and DOORS where the proud will come upto but no further than that. It's clear as crystal when we compare 'spiritual vs spiritual'.
Ps 132:13 For the YAHUAH hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Solomon built a house for 'Yahuah' and his words seem to say that 'Yahuah' would dwell in the temple he built forever but instead his words were prophetic
2Ch 6:1 ¶ Then said Solomon, The YAHUAH hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
4 And he said, Blessed be the YAHUAH Alahim of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
'David' in verse 6 is 'Messiah' because Alahim promised David that his seed would sit on his throne forever. The darkness under the feet of Alahim keeps all those not chosen for salvation outside 'Jerusalem' because they just can't see the DEITY of Messiah as defined by Alahim in his word.
Zep 1:14 ¶ The great day of the YAHUAH is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the YAHUAH: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the YAHUAH: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Joe 2:1 ¶ Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the YAHUAH cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generation.
When we read the passages from Joel 2 Alahim shows us the picture of those in the thick darkness who are the false brethren and likens the day of thick darkness in verse 2 'as the morning spread upon the mountains'. These false brethren come along with the elect. Many see the day of the Yahuah as Great Tribulation, while this is true how many see the 'DAY Of THE YAHUAH' /'Day of his thick darkness revealed? Only the elect do. This is what it means 'the sun turning into darkness and the moon into blood' before the great and notable day of the Yahuah come.
Ac 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Alahim, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Yahuah come:
When Alahim poured out his Spirit on the day of Pentecost it were the 'last days' and Peter quotes what Alahim said through the prophet Joel and likens what's happened to the 'day of clouds and of thick darkness'. This thick darkness was not seen until the discernment came to his elect who see the rule of the beasts and those giving their strength to the beast.
Re 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
The thick darkness always existed but the understanding of it came in the time appointed by Alahim to be revealed to his servants. There may be many reading this post and yet would only see means to mock and scoff rather than pursue to enter through the thick darkness into the marvelous light.
Ex 15:1 ¶ Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the YAHUAH, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the YAHUAH, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Ex 15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O YAHUAH, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
Egypt, Palestine, Edom, Moab, Cannanites were all brethren of Israel. They were false brethren and enemies of Israel and of Alahim.
Re 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth
The song of Moses and of the lamb are synonymous and no one could learn that song apart from those who are election of Alahim.
Re 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of Alahim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Yahuah Alahim Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
