THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Exo 25:30 And thou shalt set upon the table showbread before me alway (Jesus is the bread of life). Exo 25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick (the chief messenger, Christ is center candlestick) be made: his shaft, and his branches, (we are the branches) his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. Exo 25:32 And six branches (the number of man) shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: Exo 25:33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick Exo 25:34 And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. Exo 25:35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick (twelve knobs). Exo 25:36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. Exo 25:37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.

Exo 27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil (Holy Spirit) olive (the two trees are the believers) beaten (Christ’s work at the cross to send the comforter to guide us [the Holy Spirit]) for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.

Judg 7:12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers (pestilence) for multitude; and their camels (beast of burden, figurative of the corp. church) were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. Judg 7:13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. Judg 7:14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon (God’s word) the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. Judg 7:15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. Judg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers (light under a bushel). Judg 7:17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. Judg 7:18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. Judg 7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. Judg 7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. Judg 7:21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

2 Sam 22:29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
