Yes, darkness faces Babylon, and confusion is her portion.<br />

Even now (Job 5:14) "<strong>The</strong>y meet with darkness in the<br />

daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night." And as<br />

the light increases for those in Christ, so shall darkness<br />

blanket those who dwell in the shadow of the Harlot and her<br />

daughters. Flee from her my people, lest ye be partakers of<br />

her plagues. Ye have revelled in her delicacies, but her hour<br />

is come.<br />

VERY DARK AND NO BRIGHTNESS<br />

Amos 5:18,20: "Woe unto you that desire the day of the<br />

Lord! To what end is it for you? <strong>The</strong> day of the Lord is<br />

darkness, and not light. . Shall not the day of the Lord be<br />

darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness<br />

in it?"<br />

<strong>The</strong>n in verse 21 the prophet goes on to say that the Lord<br />

hates their religious activity, their ceremonies, for their<br />

worship is from the lips only, and not from the heart. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

are religious people He is talking to, religious people who<br />

have rejected His Word. And in Amos 8:9 He says, "And it<br />

shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will<br />

cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the<br />

earth in the clear day." Yes, in the day of clarity, in the<br />

bright noon day of God's glory, they will not see, they will<br />

not understand because to them it is a day of darkness with<br />

no light. Zephaniah 1:14-15 tells us:<br />

"<strong>The</strong> great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth<br />

greatly...That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and<br />

distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of<br />

darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick<br />

darkness."<br />

THE LIGHT SHALL RISE<br />
