LET THERE BE LIGHT
GENESIS 1:3-5
God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (KJV)
In our previous study, we saw the term Spirit of God used by Moses. The Spirit of God moving upon the face of the deep implies an activity of the Spirit. The next was the command of light. We have explained several times in our teachings that Genesis to Malachi refers to as mystery which is translated from the Greek word “musterion” and it implies that which needs to be explained whereas we said that the epistles are the revelation of the scriptures.
How Jesus explained the scriptures are found in the teachings of the apostles in the epistles. Now, a careful reading of Genesis 1:3-5 Moses mentions light then separated the light from the darkness and calls it day and concluded verse 5 as the evening and the morning were the first day.
This presupposes that the first day started in verse 5. However, in verse 16, God made two great lights to rule the day and night and determine seasons. Therefore, in the face of the light in Genesis 1:3, and Genesis 1:16 which light did God create first?
From the writings of the epistles, we can know how Jesus interpreted the account of Moses in Genesis chapter 1. Therefore, let’s see from the epistles how the light was commanded.
2Corinthians 4:4-6
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”.
