As mankind dives into its darkest depth
as found on the ocean's bottom
shrouded in blackness sound
(a situation foretold, but not decreed
by "the Happy God"
from whom we're birthed
from dust to seed a multitude of progeny)
"The Source of Light"
Divine
upon humanity shines His light
so any who wish "can see light."
Forego the darkness
of which many blind tragically delight.
This Light that beckons by rays brilliant and bright
inhabits a book which many burned attached to flesh
to instill fright.
Still-in-all,
the world can read
what Our Creator wants us to heed.
Let us proceed:
"In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was a god.
This one was in the beginning with God.
All things came into existence through him,
and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.
What has come into existence
by means of him was life,
and the life was the light of men.
And the light is shining in the darkness,
but the darkness has not overpowered it."
"He was in the world,
and the world came into existence through him,
but the world did not know him."
Yes,
of whom God said
most likely in the 'tongue of angels':
“Let us make man in our image,
according to our likeness,"
this "Word became flesh and resided among us,
and we had a view of his glory,
a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son
from a father;
and he was full of divine favor and truth."

Let us for now look in on the time period of 36 C.E., three years after Jesus' death.
The purpose: To demonstrate that not only 'Jews' chose to follow the Christ, the one initially called "The Word."
We will focus on an ancient army officer in command of 100 soldiers of the Italian band. Stationed at Caesarea, he had his own house. His Roman name suggests that he may have belonged to a noble family in the imperial city. He was “a devout man” who “made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually,” “a man righteous and fearing God and well reported by the whole nation of the Jews.” It was to this man that an angel appeared in a vision in the fall of 36 C.E., saying: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.” The angel also told Cornelius to send to Joppa for Peter.
