Patricia Ryan is a Telegram contact that I read on the Telegram Channel Defiant America Network. Today (5/5/26) she posted six short paragraphs under the title, “Leave the Darkness Behind”.
I found her thoughts very inspirational The Light is always more powerful than darkness. Light pierces darkness. Ultimately Light is ALWAYS victorious over darkness. Jesus the Son of God is the Light that extinguishes darkness.
The last book in the Bible is Revelation. Sometimes called the Revelation of John the Apostle. Sometimes called the Apocalypse of John. Sometimes called the Revelation of Jesus to John. Basically: In the End – JESUS WINS! Here are some Excerpts from Revelation 21 (NKJV):
Revelation 21: 1-2, 5-6, 10, 22-25 NKJV
1Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Footnotes
a. Revelation 21:2 NU, M omit John
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [a]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It[b] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
Footnotes
a. Revelation 21:5 NU, M omit to me
b. Revelation 21:6 M omits It is done
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the [a]great city, the [b]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Footnotes
a. Revelation 21:10 NU, M omit great
b. Revelation 21:10 NU, M holy city, Jerusalem
22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine [a]in it, for the [b]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations [c]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor [d]into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).
Footnotes
a. Revelation 21:23 NU, M omit in it
b. Revelation 21:23 M very glory
c. Revelation 21:24 NU, M omit of those who are saved
d. Revelation 21:24 M of the nations to Him
The point: There will be NO darkness on the New Earth and New Heaven (which includes a New Jerusalem). And a side note: The Climate hysteria is hogwash because the Almighty makes ALL things NEW.
And Now the inspiration of Patricia Ryan.

Leave the Darkness Behind

Think back to Genesis 1 when God created the world. One of the first things God said was, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). Just like God created light to shine upon the earth, Jesus came as a light to all mankind.
In John 8:12, Jesus says, "I am the light of the world..." He also points out that light is necessary for finding our way in this world.
Jesus is the light that guides men and women into true life. He's the light that illuminates our path, as well as the one who illuminates the rest of the world. It is by Jesus’ light that we can clearly discern what is right and good.
The picture of light in the darkness is significant. It means vision instead of blindness, confidence instead of confusion, hope instead of despair.
If you're feeling lost, disoriented, or stuck in the dark, start by saying His name: Jesus. Then, take a step—asking Him to light up the darkness. And as you continue to follow Him, one step at a time, He will show you the way.
Take a moment to thank God for shining His light in your life. Because of Jesus, you can leave the darkness behind and experience the light that leads to life.
