"The life was the light of men." The Life of Christ is the only true light of God. As His Life is formed in us, light is thrown on our path. We begin to walk in the ways and will of God.

The new Jerusalem will serve as the light of God, a light that will enable the nations of saved peoples of the earth to avoid destruction and obtain peace and prosperity.

The nations of today are in moral darkness. Relationships among people are destructive. People do not know how to use the things or the environment of nature. In their drunken, lustful violence the people of the nations destroy all that God has created—even their own children. The obsession with lust, violence, covetousness, and sorcery that is filling the wealthy democracies of our day is a foreshadowing of the age of moral horrors that is at hand.

Only the Life of Christ can give the understanding and power that people need in order to cease destroying themselves, their children, and their environment. In the new world, the Life of Christ will be made available through the holy city to whoever will receive it.

In the beginning God separated the spiritual Light from the spiritual darkness. The darkness never shall be able to comprehend or overcome the Light of God, who is Christ, the Lord of all.

The Day of Life, as witnessed to by the Apostles and the Holy Spirit, has found fulfillment in the "pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb." Christ—Head and Body—will serve as the Throne of God and as a result as the source of the waters of eternal life. The waters of eternal life always flow from the Divine Throne.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)

After God and Christ have settled down to rest in us in the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles, it will be our greatest joy to bring forth the water of life that dead mankind may live. The Divine water will be crystal clear because the human vessels from whom it is pouring have been purified by the Consuming Fire who is God.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:3)

The sons of God are the wells of salvation. As the saints with joy draw the water of life from within their personalities the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will fill the "dead sea" of the people of the nations of the earth.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:9)

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. (Habakkuk 2:14)
