Preface

RED ALERT is a term suggestive of blood, violence and danger. This time is all of that.

GREY DAY is a phrase indicative of energy finding a rest from its labours, without brilliance, of the drab or the dismal, the accrual of loss. This world is experiencing that to the point that our civilisation is showing its age and the sin that has gone with it, with increasing fidelity: like old teeth.

BRIGHT LIGHT suggests thrust, illumination, abundance and symbolises truth, its presence and power. We have had, have long had it, but it is disregarded by the nations. The result is darkness of deeds, drabness of lives and increasingly, the horror of many 'accidents', in the dark.

BRIGHT LIGHT !

Our world has that in Christ, who well knows its state, and there has been prelude enough in ancient Israel, as it is written :

"Then they will look to the earth and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish;
and they will be driven into darkness.

"Nevertheless, the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
As when at first he lightly esteemed
The land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali,
And afterward more heavily oppressed her,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.
"The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light:
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death
Upon them a light has shined."

That light is then found to be, as history showed Him to be, the Christ, and precisely in Galilee He shone most abundantly, but of Him, see this which is then written:

"And His name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end...
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this" -

from Isaiah 8:22-9:7 (cf. Light of Dawn Ch. 6).

CAME, HAS COME and IS COMING

HE is present now in His Spirit, was present then in His body, and will soon return in His power.

The day is grey, the alert is red, but the light to come, it is BRIGHT.

It is time to watch our ways in the light of His truth, and to this as history now unfolds, we look. Wise is he and sober she who ponders these things, and blessed the one who comes where the light is, has been and continues unfading to shine.
