Gen `1:3 And God said, let there be light and there was light. but in Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.......So what light is it when he said let there be light? is not the sun/stars....what then?
John 8:12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Colossians 1 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
relax, it was just some crazy gramppa trying to explain where light came from. anyway, obviously the moon does not emit it's own light.
WHEN the holy angels were created on the evening of the first day, without voice, they understood not their creation, but thought within themselves that they were self-existent beings and not made. On the morning of the first day God said in an audible and commanding voice, 'Let there be light3,' and immediately the effused light was created. When the angels saw the creation of light, they knew of a certainty that He who had made light had created them. And they shouted with a loud voice, and praised Him, and marvelled at His creation of light, as the blessed teacher4 saith, 'When the Creator made that light, the angels marvelled thereat,' etc.; and as it is said in Job, 'When I created the morning star, all my angels praised me5.' Now by nature light has no warmth.
The Creation of the Concept of Light had to come before the Creation of Stars, the Sun and the Moon. This is a very logical proposition. It does not prove anything one way or the other. Either the author was being very clever, or perhaps things just went down exactly as he said.
Light light light of the world... It has shown in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it...has not understood it. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
