Yeshua HaMaschiach (Jesus Christ) is “the light” that is in every person who comes into the world. (John 1:9) This light is the life of men. (John 1:4) Those who follow the Son Of God, the “light of the world”, will never walk in darkness but will possess the light of life.(John 8:12)

Just as Jesus Christ received the “light of the world” from the Father of all lights, he then shares this glory with those who follow him by making them into “lights of the world” themselves.

Jesus Christ said, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

But the knowledge of “the light” is lost in darkness. As a result, people in these “last days” are unable to recognize “the light” of the Gospel of Christ.

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)

But darkness is needed to make the light manifest.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)

When “the light” shines, it testifies to the truth. This truth is the hope that we have in God through Jesus Christ.

Apostle Paul wrote, “for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’” (Ephesians 5:14)

According to Holy Scriptures, God will put the whole world to a test. But those who endured patiently and followed what Jesus commanded, will be spared from this hour of testing.

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.” –Revelation 3:10

The Great Tribulation is a time of great hardship that will engulfed the whole world in the last days just before the Messiah, Yeshua returns as prophesied in the bible. This period is also referred to in the bible as “The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble.”

‎”How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it.” –Jeremiah 30:7

“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” –Daniel12:1
