"...If God made light on the first day, what was giving the light, since the sun doesn't appear until the fourth day?... " - David Plotz, Blogging the Bible
Wow, that's a deep thought! What was giving the light on the 1st day, if not the Sun? Hmmm....
So maybe the light isn't the kinda light we automatically think of. So what's going on here?
My first thought: the Truth is the Light. That sounds like a good biblical saying, but now that I'm looking, I can't actually find that anywhere in the Bible. Where did I hear that from?
My next thought: II Corinthians 4:6 - "...the light of the knowledge of the glory of God...". Was the glory of God somehow manifested physically on the first day? Was this manifestation necessary to continue His work?
What about Matthew 5:16 - "...let YOUR light so shine before men...". Hmmm. So obviously even I have a light that can shine w/o the benefit of the Sun.
Interesting. I'm gonna vybe on this in my head for a while - wait, better yet - I'm gonna vybe on this in my spirit for a while (big difference). Let's see what we can see.
what are your thoughts?....

MY THOUGHTS AND STUFF

Why would God NEED 'light' unless and until there was darkness? Darkness is the absence of light. Without darkness, light is not needed or noticed. I believe the darkness came when satan was kicked out of the heavens (since he is the ruler of THIS world, I believe he was kicked out and sent to this world). I believe that then God had to "make light" since darkness had arrived......I think there is a corelation to the earth being without form and void and darkness being upon the face of the earth and satan's being kicked out. That's when God moved and began His "work"...when "darkness" came upon the face of the earth.
