Lamps/Stars

Genuine lamps and stars (Rev.1:20; Phil.2:15; Dan.12:3) can fall (Rev.2:5;  2Pet. 3:17; Jude 1:13) causing their lamp-light to become darkness (Matt.6:23; Luke 11:35) (Prov.20:27).
Regarding such fallen stars and dimming lamps (Matt.25:8), a scripture which comes to mind is Matt.6:22,23;
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

If our perceptions (eye) are bad (based upon doctrine rather than Christ's words -Matt.15:9; 7:26,27; 25:9,10; Rev.13:17); our understandings and faith are darkness (John 3:20) and "the light that is in you is darkness" (Your teachings are sourced in Satan's abyss) and "how great is that darkness"...yes...because Satan is a Master at blinding deception, and he will afford every false sign and powerful portent to such a fallen, unfaithful, Great Lamp of Darkness (John 8:44;  2Thess. 2:9; Rev.12:9; 8:10,11; 9:1,2,3,11; Matt.24:5,24; Rev.13:11; 12:17; 2:20,5; 18:23) in order to mislead the invited anointed. We must never replace the light of Christ (John 8:12;  1John 1:7; John 12:35) with slavery to men (Gal.1:10;  1Cor. 7:23; Rev.2:20; 13:15) and their dark doctrines....even if they are a genuine star/lamp. We must "test out" the light in their lamp to see if it is genuinely from Christ's light (1John 4:1;  1Tim. 4:1;  2Thess. 2:1,2,3).

We are now in the midst of such a testing tribulation, and in godly fear should beg our heavenly Father for protection through it (Luke 22:31; Matt.6:13; Phil.2:12; Rev.6:17; Jer.30:7; Joel 2:1; Zeph.1:14; Luke 21:36; Eph.6:18), praying for all the remnant that as many as possible can awaken, be "killed" and become sealed. The sooner that happens, the sooner the 144000 can be completed, and the end can arrive (Rev.6:9,10,11; 13:15; 11:7; 12:10,11)!
