Chapter One - What is God?

The first 5 verses of 1John 1 may be the single most powerful piece of information every revealed to mankind.

What is "the light of the world, if not the sun?

Even if you never read the bible, just remember 1John 1.

1John 1:1 "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

1John 1: 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."

John is most emphatic in his first verse of his first book on whom he has witnessed as is the creator. He has heard it, and he has seen it and he has touched it. God is light and all light comes from the sun. The son of God is the "Sun" of God.

Psalm 19:4-5 "Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. "

Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Once again it is clear that the Son of man is light (lightning) and thus God is light. This exact passage is repeated in Luke 17:24. It is interesting to note that it's the coming of Jesus into your life will be quick, like lightning.

"Matthew 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:" . The sun is the only light source that shines "white light". Interesting to note is in the song Stairway to heaven, a verse goes, "who shines white light and wants to show, how everything still turns to gold".

Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."

Lightning

God is light, lightning.

 Matthew 24: 23-28

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Luke 17:20-37

The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other- part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in mar- riage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brim- stone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Luke 10: 18-24

I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

The word "east" is the second most important word in the bible as it is the place of the sunrise. The motif of east and west as well as sunrise and sunset are part of the central allegory in the bible. God is light, God is the Sun and it rises in the east to give life and dies in the west when it sets. The Egyptian Gods Horus and Set symbolized this duality in the earliest of recorded history. Horus represented the rising sun while Set represented the slaying of Horus and the Sun dying or "setting". Of course the sun will "rise again" in 12 hours. From the word Horus we get hour so that when we ask what time it is we're asking "where's horus" and it's obvious the sun setting comes from Set.

John 8:12 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." What is "the light of the world, if not the sun? The son of God is the SUN of God. Take away the sun and all life on earth would die. The sun's gravity keeps the earth spinning and in our orbit. The spinning gives us night and day and the orbit gives us our seasons. The SUN being God is the central message of the Bible around which all the stories revolve
