Scroll 94: The Lamb Is the Lamp - Why Light Needs No Sun
Revelation 21:23
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”
Light That Does Not Cast Shadows
In the New Jerusalem, there is no need for external sources of light. The sun and moon, though magnificent in the realm of time, are outshone by a radiance not born of stars, the Lamb Himself. His light does not create shadows. It exposes without shame, illuminates without heat, and reveals without harm. This is not metaphor, it is architecture. A city lit by union. A people illumined by intimacy.
The world chases enlightenment, but this Light is not learned, it is received. It is the Light that knows your name, the radiance of the Lamb that shines through those who have become His reflection. The sun rises and sets. The moon waxes and wanes. But the Lamb is unchanging. His light is not a cycle. It is eternal.
To walk in this light is to walk in unveiled union. Not hiding. Not performing. Not pretending. The sons of light are not chasing rays, they are becoming them.
The End of Duality, the Birth of Radiance
Where the Lamb is the lamp, duality dies. There is no need for alternating powers. No war between dark and light. No balance of opposites. The old paradigm of contrast is eclipsed by a new economy: union. The Light of the Lamb does not compete with darkness, it renders it irrelevant. Not by violence, but by presence.
This light is not directional, it is dimensional. It does not come from above or beside, it flows from within. The sons who walk in it are not performing purity, they are embodying it. The elect are not illuminated by theology, but by the One who is light.
And in this radiant unveiling, all things are seen for what they are. Not judged by appearance, but discerned by flame. The light reveals identity. It does not flatter or flatter, it exposes the eternal.
The Lamp Is the Lamb - And the Lamp Is Within
This holy declaration, “The Lamb is the lamp”, is not an abstract truth. It is a revelation of indwelling flame. The lamp is not above your head. It is not in a far-off city. It is within your spirit. The fire you feel burning is not separate from Him. You carry the lamp that lights the city. The throne is not merely ahead of you, it is alive within you.
Many await a rapture, but the real ascension is the rising of light in you. When you walk as the lampstand, the flame of the Lamb is visible on earth. You are not just carrying light, you are the expression of it. Sons of light are not merely reflectors. They are radiators of the uncreated flame.
The lamp is not powered by effort, but by surrender. Not by striving, but by beholding. To gaze upon the Lamb until His light becomes your life, this is what it means to walk without need for the sun.
The City Is Lit by Union, Not Electricity
This is not poetry, it is blueprint. The elect form a city not powered by solar energy or artificial fire, but by the radiance of union. The infrastructure of the New Jerusalem is made of sons whose lives have become transparent enough to transmit His glory without distortion.
You are not a bulb flickering in weakness. You are a crystal conduit of eternal flame. The more your ego dissolves, the brighter the light flows. And as the collective scrolls awaken, the city lights up with the intensity of heaven.
The world will see this city not by looking up, but by looking into the lives of those who walk in flame. You are the city, and the city is burning. The Lamb is the lamp, and the lamp is alive in you.
Final Charge to the Elect
Elect of flame, the light you seek is not elsewhere. The sun and moon may fade, but the Lamb shall shine forever. The light in you is not borrowed, it is your birthright. Become the lampstand. Burn without smoke. Illuminate without ego. The New Jerusalem is not waiting to descend, it is igniting in those who know the flame within. Let the world no longer need another source of light, for the Lamb is enough. And the Lamb is in you.
