“Clouds and thick gloom are all around him.”

(Psalm 97:2)

The Bible urges us to “search for Jehovah.” (Psalm 105:4) Where can we find him? “Clouds and thick gloom are all around him,” said the psalmist. (Psalm 97:2) “Jehovah said he would reside in the thick gloom,” that’s why “he … covered himself in darkness.” (1 Kings 8:12; Psalm 18:11) So it’s beyond question that God can be found only in the darkness.

But not everyone wants us to come closer to God. For example, the Watchtower “magazine has long been used by ‘the faithful and discreet slave’ as the primary channel for dispensing increased light.” (The Watchtower, April 15, 2010, page 10) This “slave” even demands “appreciation for the increased light” of his followers, though this alienates them from God. (The Watchtower, May 15, 1995, page 26) “By the ever-increasing light” he brings Jehovah’s Witnesses ever closer to Satan, the “angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14; The Watchtower, April 15, 1953, page 231.
