This episode centers on readings from “The Great Rest Giver” by William Haig Miller. It was published in London about 1891. Walt found a print version of the book in a large Detroit bookstore. The theme centers on Matthew 11:28-30 in which Christ speaks of true, Christ-given rest.
This episode looks at the Lord Jesus’ declaration “I am the Light of The World” in John 8:12. It examines how this declaration, made by Christ at the Feast of Booths fulfills the type of the pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day as found in the book of Exodus.
This episode looks at the prophecy of a Moses-like prophet (The Prophet) who would emerge in Israel’s history and how the Lord Jesus Christ fulfills being THE King, THE Priest and THE Prophet.

Where can we see the light of Christ’s glory?
The Apostle Paul compares the first light spoken by God (“Let there be light”) with the light spoken into believers in Christ. Believers are a microcosm of the universe. It started in darkness; So did we; For a believer in Christ, Christ’s light of glory is spoken into us. The episode explores the themes of Christ, light and glory.
