I will give him the bright and the morning star-the key to their spiritual success.......
Rev.2:28; 22:16 "And I will give unto him the morning star. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright and the morning star".
2Cor. 4:6 "Because the God who said, 'Out of darkness, light shall shine....."
The "new eye" which the remnant is to "go get" is a new way of seeing that is spoken of symbolically in the Revelation scripture passages above as the "bright and the morning star". Getting this "star" is the Remnant's key to spiritual success.
The meaning of this "morning star" and "new eye" is hinted at in the 2 Corinthians passage above by the phrase, "out of darkness, light shall shine". Paul is referring to Genesis 1 where God said "Light be!", and light came forth out of darkness. This is a spirit law that holds true today.
Darkness and silence are the same thing, so in the natural, the darkness of nighttime is a period of silence. This then is God's time to "shine forth"; ie, His light of spiritual revelation shines out of the darkness/silence of night. Darkness is the deepest in the early morning hours, so the light of spiritual revelation, symbolized by "bright and morning star" comes forth at this time.
This has nothing to do with dreams. Not only outward silence is necessary, such as that which is the normal condition of night, but more importantly, so is inward-mental-silence. The mind must also learn to be silent.
The mind loves to run to and fro with cacophonous surmisings, speculations (what if's), plans for the "future", he said/she said's, music, and etc. This is what the world is-distraction and mental occupation in things that are temporary; ie, not important. Distractions are part and parcel of the beast system which must be overcome by those of the Remnant:
Rev. 14:11b "And they have no rest day or night who do homage unto the beast and his image or if anyone receives the mark of his name".
The quieting of the mind is not to be done by "soul power". The emphasis today on yoga and meditation is lying deception, which will produce seemingly "peaceful" results in the mind and/or body, which are FALSE SYMPTOMS FROM THE ADVERSARY DESIGNED AS A SNARE and which eventually leads to the second death/lake of fire, because it is "trying to go up by another way", which Jesus warned against. It is trying to obtain spirituality/godlikeness through human effort. Self consciousness-SIN- cannot inherit the Kingdom of God and righteousness.
The experience of this gift of nighttime spiritual revelation pictured in symbolic language as a "bright and morning star", is the key to spiritual success. The Father is very patient with those He is dealing with in gaining this gift, until they "get it". This is a step on the ladder into the spirituals, which one must experience in order to mature and become a spiritual adult. It is learning the practice of gathering while it is still dark.
