10 Things That You May Not Know About Darkness

1. Darkness is akin to a default situation. Where there is no light, there is only darkness. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep; Genesis 1:2.

2. Darkness is to evil as Light is to good; Ephesians 5:8. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

3. Darkness has a place where it lives/an abode. “God ask Job if he knew where to find it. Job 38:19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,”

4. Darkness is mentioned 142 times in the bible.

5. There is absolutely no darkness in God; This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all; 1 John 1:5.

6. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come; Joel 2:31.

7. Darkness is a state of sin. 1 John 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

8. Darkness is symbolic of the inability to see. Romans 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

9. Darkness can be caused by man under the authority of God. Exodus 10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

10. Darkness can be thick to the extent that it may be felt. Exodus 10:21And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

Oh yea, and as a bonus, do know that the removal/dispersing of darkness by light is an hostile act. When light comes in and it does come in as a “mighty rushing wind”, darkness gets right out of the way.
