Once darkness covered

Isaiah 60:19-20 KJVAAE
[19]  The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. [20] Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 
Acts 26:18 KJVAAE
[18] to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 
Revelation 21:22-24 KJVAAE
[22] And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. [23]  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. [24] And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. 

All glory and praise for the Spirit of God flowing from the beginning to the End

"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." This is what we see before us these days. Darkness has covered the earth and the hearts of people. We hear of crimes and violence. Only when the light from Jesus is on us, this shroud of darkness will be removed. Stay blessed dear friend.
