I missed this morning BUT was able to listen today. THIS!!! As I was looking for a scripture ( Isaiah 59:19) to stand on I stumbled upon Micah 7:8. All I can say is Thank you Jesus and thank you Apostle Raine!!! I needed all of this!!!

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.”

‭‭Micah‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

or: Light

Original Word: אוֹרPart of Speech: Noun FeminineTransliteration: owrPronunciation: ohrPhonetic Spelling: (ore)Definition: LightMeaning: illumination, luminary

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb אוֹר (H215), meaning "to be or become light, shine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5457 (φῶς, phōs) – Light

- G5461 (φωτίζω, phōtizō) – To give light, to illuminate

Usage: The Hebrew word "אוֹר" ('or) primarily denotes "light" in a physical, metaphorical, and spiritual sense. It is used to describe the natural light of day, the light of heavenly bodies, and the light of life and prosperity. Metaphorically, it represents truth, guidance, and the presence of God. In the spiritual context, 'or is often associated with divine revelation and the moral and ethical illumination provided by God's word.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, light was a powerful symbol of life, purity, and divine presence. The Hebrews, like their neighbors, saw light as essential for life and a representation of God's creative power and sustaining presence. The creation narrative in Genesis begins with God commanding, "Let there be light," highlighting its foundational role in the order of creation. Light was also central in religious rituals and symbolism, such as the menorah in the Tabernacle and Temple, which represented God's eternal presence among His people.
