Summary: The children, when growing up, sometimes were afraid of the darkness. Then they become adults and now it seems they are afraid of the Light.
* the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not..( powerless against it )john.1:5
* but all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatsoever doth make manifest is light...ephes.5:13...( piercing thru it )
* God is light and in Him is no darkness at all..1-john.1:5..( pureness of light )
The Fear of the Light today is the Christian realizing his faults and doing nothing about it.
