Welcome to the 50th Episode of God and Game Theory podcast. In this episode, Tom continues Following God’s Path — Part 2, exploring the biblical meaning of the pillar of fire, the light of God, and how that light guides His people through darkness toward the Promised Land and the New Heaven and Earth.

Through passages from Wisdom of Solomon, Isaiah, Ephesians, Colossians, Revelation, John, Psalms, and more, Tom examines the relationship between light, truth, divine guidance, protection, judgment, and Jesus Christ as the Light of the World.

Later, Tom moves to the whiteboard to explore the Cosmic Cross, also described as the Epiphany—a model connecting heaven and earth, time and eternity, Christ, humanity, and the New Jerusalem. The episode concludes with a message about becoming “missionaries of light,” sharing what we learn with others, and collectively following God's light toward our ultimate destination.

The central message is simple: follow the light, live in the light, and help shine that light for others. As Tom explains, the journey is one we take together—following God’s guidance toward the New Heaven and Earth.
