The Lord Jesus Christ is our Victory over sin, over sickness, over weakness, over want, over pressure, over death, over Satan, over the grave. He is our great Day Star.

Satan also is a day star.

Both Christ and Satan are day stars. They both are "lights" bearing witness to "truth," to a coming kingdom. They both possess great wisdom and authority.

Every person must decide which is the true light, which is the true Kingdom of God, which is the true Day Star.

Mankind today has been deceived by the false day star. We are not able to overcome Satan, the wise one, the day star, in our own wisdom and strength. It is only as the true Day Star, Christ, enters us that we can perceive the true Kingdom of God.

The day in which man can make righteous efforts in his own strength is quickly coming to a close. During the period just ahead the only persons who will be able to stand in any kind of godliness will be the saints who are living in the Life of Christ, in whom Christ is living and thinking and walking.

The feast of Tabernacles, the last of the seven Levitical convocations, will be fulfilled spiritually as Christ and the Father enter the faithful saints, making of them a fortress of deliverance that will stand throughout the evil day. The greater Day Star who is in them will overcome the lesser day star.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (I John 4:4)

There will be abundant glory in the earth in the last days, and on all the glory there will be a covering of the strength of God.

And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. (Isaiah 4:5,6)

The power of God to save us is emphasized in the Eighteenth, the Thirty-fourth, the Thirty-seventh, and the Ninety-first Psalms. They are excellent passages to study as preparation for the fires of judgment that soon are to come upon all who dwell on the earth.

God will enable each saint not only to survive but also to triumph in the hour of darkness. We shall continue to be more than conquerors through him who loved us and now is living in us in majesty and glory.

Darkness will cover the earth, in the last days, and thick darkness the peoples of the world. But the Light of God will arise in and upon the saints. Christ, the "bright and morning star," will come to His chosen.

The coming of Christ as the Morning Star, heralding the Day of the Lord, will not be a faint, fading flicker of light that finally will be extinguished as a triumphant Satan destroys all righteousness on the earth.

The coming of Christ as the bright and Morning Star will be a brilliant, glorious Light that will signal the end of spiritual darkness on the planet Earth. (from Revelation: Chapters Twenty-one and Twenty-two)
