“For where your treasure is, there will be your heart be also.” – Luke 12:34

Years ago in Germany, there lived a very rich man who owned fields, animals, and every valley as far as you could see around his castle. One night he had a terrible nightmare in which he dreamed that an angel came to him and said, “The richest man in the valley is going to die at midnight tonight!” Terrified from his dream, the rich man woke up drenched in his own sweat. He thought to himself, “I am doomed, for I am the richest man in the valley!”

Worried about his dream, he called his good friend who was also his doctor. Sensing fear in his friend’s voice, he came to visit the rich man where upon he told him about his dream. The doctor examined the rich man and told him not to worry that he was in perfect health. The rich man said, “No, you don’t understand. The angel said that the ‘richest man’ in the valley is going to die tonight at midnight, and I am the richest man in the valley!” He continued to plead with the doctor to stay with him till after midnight.

As midnight approached, the rich man and the doctor waited with much anticipation as the clock showed 11:59 p.m. Then, when the clock struck midnight, it started the first of its twelve chimes. “One!” “Two!” “Three!” and so on till it struck, “Ten!” “Eleven” and finally, “Twelve!” The rich man was clutching his chest, breathing heavily as the last of the chimes sounded.

Midnight had come and gone, and he was still alive. The rich man shouted for joy and danced, and then, just as they were just about to toast to life, the rich man heard an urgent knock at his door. It was one of his servants. The man came in with tears in his eyes and told the rich man that “Hans his faithful servant had just died.”

You see, ‘Hans’ was the “richest man” in the valley. He was always seen helping the poor, the widowed, and the fatherless on his time off. When someone was in need, it was Hans that would be there lending a hand. But now he was gone, and the town began to mourn the treasure they had lost. Truly, the richest man in the valley died that night, but it wasn’t the man who trusted in his earthly wealth, but the man who stored up treasure in heaven.

Scorpio represents the scorpion seeking to would but itself crushed, the enemy wounding Him.

Scorpio represents Satan as our enemy, with claws to entrap us, as well as to seemingly thwart Christ. 

Satan sought to fatally sting Christ’s heel through the crucifixion - not realizing that he had just sealed his own defeat. 

The Scorpion is trying to wound the heel of Ophiuchus, the head of Scorpio is being wounded. Scorpio, means “the Lawless One,” and as such, represents the seed of the serpent — the Antichrist.

Scorpio signifies Revelation’s Pale Horse that is ridden by Ophiuchus in judgment. 

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Dr. John Evans, the author of some excellent sermons on the Chrisian temper, introduced, on one occasion, a sermon to young people, in the following manner:

"Shall I be allowed to preface this discourse with relating a passage concerning an acquaintance of mine, who has been many years dead, but which I remembered to have received, when young, from himself? When he was an apprentice in this city, the Civil War began; his inclination led him into the army, where he had a captain's commission. It was fashionable for all the men of the army to carry a Bible along with them; this therefore, he and many others did, who yet made little use of it, and hardly had any sense of religion. At length he was commanded, with his company, to storm a fort, wherein they were they were for a short time exposed to the thickest, of the enemy's fire.

When he had accomplished his enterprise, and the heat of the action was over, he found that a musket-ball had lodged in his Bible, which was in his pocket, upon such a part of his body, that it must necessarily have proved a mortal wound to him, had it not been for this seasonable and well-placed piece of armor. Upon a nearer observation, he found the ball had made its way so far in his Bible, as to rest directly upon that part of the first unbroken leaf, where the words of my text the words of my text are found. It was Eccles. xi 9; 'Rejoice, O young man in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgement."

As the surprising deliverance, you may apprehend, much affected him, so a passage, which his conscience told him was very opposite to his case, and which Providence in so a remarkable a way pointe to his observation made the deepest and best impression on his mind; and, by the grace of God, he from that time attended to religion in earnest, and continued in the practice of it to a good old age; frequently making the remark with pleasure, that his Bible had been the salvation both of his body and soul."

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." - John 1:5

TROUBLE WITH THE DARKNESS

When my children were young one of them was having some trouble with the darkness in his room at night. As the days passed, this fear seemed to grow with each passing night. Facing this problem with him, I told him of a discovery that I read in which scientists had found that light particles actually exist in darkness. This seemed to ease his mind as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep. This was also of particular interest to me because the Bible teaches that God is omnipresent, which means that there is no place where He does not exist, even in darkness.

Psalm 18:11, tells us that God actually makes darkness His “secret” place. What does this mean for us in times of apparent darkness? Is there a hidden lesson or illumination in dark times for us to gain more of an understanding of God’s plan for our lives?

The first mention of the word “darkness” is in Genesis 1:2, “And darkness was upon the face of the deep.” 

Each of us at different times in our lives will face dark places of uncertainty. We lose loved ones, enter a sickness unto death, ended relationships, jobs, and sometimes we even lose our direction in life. When these dark times come, it is important for us to know that the Scriptures tell us that darkness does have an end, “He setteth an end to darkness,” Job 28:3.

The Bible contains 366 “Fear not’s,” one for each day of the year, and one even for the extra day that leap year brings. Dr. Everek R. Storms counted 8,810 promises in the Bible. Of these promises, 7,487 of them are from God to man. We never face any life situation for which God has not supplied specific promises that give us mercy and grace to help in our time of need.

We are told in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” In times of darkness, we need to apply the light of Scripture to our situation. The mere mention of the word “path” assures us that nothing has taken God by surprise. It is comforting to know that although our physical eyes may comprehend only the darkness surrounding us at a given moment of our lives, the existence of light is promised to us in our darkest times through Christ Jesus.

LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD  

"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil." 

- John 3:19

BUT YOU, BRETHERAN ARE NOT IN DARKNESS

"But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief."

I WILL TURN THE DARKNESS INTO LIGHT  

"And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them."  

- Isaiah 42:16

TRUST HIM IN THE DARK  

“To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust him in the dark that is faith.”   

- Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) English Baptist Preacher 

RESCUED FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS 

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  

-  Colossians 1:9-15

WHO SUBSTITUTES DARKNESS FOR LIGHT  

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"  

- Isaiah 5:20

I FORM LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS  

“I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things.”  

- Isaiah 45:7

THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS

"The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." 

- John 1:4-5 

 I WILL GIVE YOU TREASURE OF DARKNESS

I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel."

- -Isaiah 45:3
