There is no darkness in God, but that doesn't mean He doesn't use it for purposes for good. In a real sense God has a mind, and that mind is full of love, God is a Spirit and He is love. You can say that God has a conscience and that mind is found in the word of God. When evil prevails in the world, the way back is to follow the light and the truth. Behind the veil of light is darkness, the unknown about God that He hasn't revealed to humanity. The darkness hides His presence, the light manifests it. The darkness that hides God's glory is a part of His consciousness. God never changes and hides Himself so to speak from the mind that has rejected Him. The bible calls the darkness a covering, where the Lord comes to send His judgement into the world.
When God gave the Ten Commandments to the present day, the Lord is the same. Darkness cannot hide the light, and it cannot cover the light. When people suppress the truth, the darkness expands, but as this happens the candle of the Lord's Presence is just as real and available as it always is. Opening up to the door of the light of God, just takes a crack, just a little bit of light and truth in a room can light up the whole room. You see this when you light a candle in a dark room.
We can see the darkness in moments of history where there was great evil, or moments in our lives where we were terrorised. There never comes a time when the light is fully extinguished in this life, because in order for darkness to exist the presence of truth must exist in order to defeat it. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of truth and light in this world, and His presence puts away the darkness for good. He defeated the darkness completely by his death on the cross, and continues to defeat the darkness by His life in Heaven. One day he will come back to this earth to manifest His full Glory and to save those who are waiting for Him. Even though darkness was completely defeated by Jesus Christ, we can live in a dark world sometimes, and when we do, we can constantly open the door to Jesus, and let the light in. This is Mike.
