Paul writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026what communion has light with darkness? And what concord has Messiah with Belial\u2026\u201d<br>(2 Corinthians 6:14b-15a)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the New Testament there are extended metaphores revolving around light and darkness. Believers are called \u201csons of light\u201d (Lk. 16:8; Jn. 12:36; Eph. 5:8; 1Thes. 5:5). The full armour of God is also called the \u201carmour of light\u201d (Rom. 13:12). The New Testament speaks of those \u201cwho walk in darkness\u201d (John 8:12; 12:35).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what does this idiomatic use of the terms light and darkness mean? For the answer let us turn to the Tanak:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFor the commandment is a lamp; and the Torah is light\u2026\u201d<br>(Proverbs 6:23)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cYour word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.\u201d<br>(Psalm 119:105)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cTo the Torah and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.\u201d<br>(Isaiah 8:20)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026for a Torah shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgement to rest for a light of the people.\u201d<br>(Isaiah 51:4)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So according to the Tanak the Torah is a light for our paths. Those that walk in the Torah walk in the light. This is why the New Testament speaks of those who walk in darkness (Jn. 8:12; 12:35; 1Jn. 1:6; 2:11). These are those who do not walk by the light of Torah. Of these John writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAnd if we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we are liars and we do not walk in truth.\u201d<br>(1 John 1:6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice that John equates \u201cwalking in truth\u201d with walking in the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we noted previously \u201cthe Torah is truth\u201d (Ps. 119:142) thus if \u201cwalking in the light\u201d means \u201cwalking in truth\u201d then both phrases refer to walking in the Torah. This takes us back to our passages from the Tanak given above. John also confirms this by writing the parallel statements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026walking in truth.\u201d<br>\u201c\u2026walk according to his commandments.\u201d<br>(2 John 1:4, 6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now lets look back at a moment to the full armour of God. As we have noted Paul also calls this armour the \u201carmour of light\u201d (Rom. 13:12). According to Paul we are involved in a spiritual battle with \u201cthe rulers of the darkness of this world.\u201d (Eph. 6:12) and thus he instructs us to put on this \u201carmour of light\u201d (Ephesians 6:13 &amp; Romans 13:12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now several of the items of the \u201carmour of light\u201d also tie in with the Torah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Belt of Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cYour righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your Torah is truth.\u201d<br>(Psalm 119:142)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cYou are near, O YHWH, and all your commandments are truth.\u201d<br>(Psalm 119:151)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Breastplate of Righteousness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWhat great nation is there that has statutes and judgements as righteous as this whole Torah which I am setting before you today?\u2026\u201d<br>(Deuteronomy 4:6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Shield of Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cRemove the false way from me, and graciously grant me your Torah. I have chosen the way of faith; I have placed your ordinances before me.\u201d<\/em><br><em>(Psalm 119:29-30)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Sword of the Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026For the Torah will go out from Zion; and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem.\u201d<\/em><br><em>(Isaiah 2:3)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus the Armour of Light is the armour of the Torah which lights our path. There are two paths before us, one of darkness and one of light. On the one hand one may \u201cwalk in darkness\u201d on the other hand one may \u201cwalk in the light\u201d of Torah. The \u201cson\u2019s of light\u201d put on the \u201carmour of light\u201d and walk in the light of Torah, while the \u201csons of darkness\u201d walk in the Torah-lessness which is the darkness of this dark world.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"76\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/nazarenespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Siren2-3.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-881\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff0307\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><em>Red Alert: <\/em>We must raise at least $450 by the end of the day today or our account will plunge into the negative and start a chain reaction of returned items and fees<em>!<\/em><\/span> <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#fb1919\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> We need your help now more than ever.
