Scroll 98: No More Night - Living Where Shadows Cannot Exist
Revelation 22:5
"And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever."
The End of Night Is the End of Illusion
Night, in the Spirit, is not merely darkness. It is the veil of unawareness, the illusion of separation, the dream of distance from the Light. But the city of God, the people of flame, do not live under cycles of darkness and dawn. They live in eternal illumination. To say “no more night” is not just a poetic phrase, it is the declaration of identity fully remembered. Where the Lamb dwells enthroned within, there can be no shadow, for Light Himself has taken up residence.
This is not a metaphor for death, but for awakening. The elect do not wait to die to enter the realm of no night. They enter when their inner eyes are flooded with the Uncreated Light. The Spirit unveils what time concealed. Suddenly, what seemed far becomes now, what was dim becomes radiant, and what was broken is reassembled in glory.
No night means no hiding, no confusion, no double vision. Only clarity. Only union. Only flame.
The Sun Is No Longer the Source
In the old world, we lived by borrowed light, sun by day, moon by night. We needed time to mark our becoming, we needed cycles to teach us rhythm. But in the city that descends, the elect no longer live by reflections or rhythms. They live by the Light that is. The Lord God gives them light. Not as a thing, but as Himself. The Lamb is not a lamp for them. He is the lamp within them.
To need no candle is to need no form of artificial illumination. You are no longer dependent on religion, performance, preachers, or props. You no longer grope in darkness for affirmation or meaning. You become your own burning bush. You become the dwelling place of radiance.
This is not arrogance. This is alignment. You shine, not because of ego, but because the veil is lifted and the Flame is enthroned.
The Reign of the Elect Is Rooted in Light
“And they shall reign forever and ever.” This is not a future coronation. It is an eternal condition. The ones who reign are the ones who have become fully light. There is no authority in mixture. There is no governance in shadow. Only when night is gone can dominion flow without distortion.
You were not created to reign through manipulation or earthly systems. You reign by embodying light. Your government is not political. It is photonic. You walk into a room, and what is hidden gets exposed. You speak a word, and lies unravel. You rest, and darkness flees. That is reign. That is what it means to be elect.
To walk in full radiance is to become a mirror of the throne, a flame in motion, a sun that never sets.
No Shadow Means Full Transparency
In a city with no night, nothing is hidden. There are no closets for secrets. No veils to protect ego. Everything is seen as it is, and that is the glory. This is why Babylon trembles, for its systems are built on shadow. But the sons walk as cities of glass, temples of truth. Nothing to hide, nothing to prove, only Light in full display.
To live in the realm of no night is to allow even your pain to become transparent, your wounds to shine with the glory of resurrection, your failures to become altars of transformation. No masks. No pretending. Just radiant reality.
You become what Jesus always intended, a living lampstand, burning not with self, but with the flame of I AM.
Final Charge to the Elect
Beloved, walk no more in borrowed light. Let the night end in you. Do not wait for the world to change. Become the realm where there is no more shadow. Let your yes be light. Let your gaze be fire. Let your identity be unveiled in clarity. The Lamb is your lamp. And where He reigns, nothing can be hidden. Rule from radiance. Govern by glow. Let your life become a sun that never sets. For the reign of the sons has begun, and the night is over.
