The moon and sun is not light, They are sources of light, light is light, saying the moon and sun is light is like saying the fan is is wind, or the tap is water, ask the Holy spirit for explanation, He speaks
That’s true. Perhaps God is illustrating something to us and THAT may be why He does things the way He does. That is also why He asked questions,I believe,because every good teacher asks questions to their students and to utter the words “It is good,very good,does not seem to imply to me anymore that God didn’t know that it would be good. Perhaps God was simply affirming it as an expression of satisfaction with what He had made. I cannot understand everything but so far I have learned that God is always teaching us something new
Exactly. . God created 'light' on day 1 because light, or energy (light is but the visible-to-us part of the electro-magnetic spectrum, or the 'energy spectrum' in shorthand) had to be created first. Energy is the basis of the material universe. No energy, no nuthin' else. The creating of light on day 1 is refelcted in the Maxwell-Heaviside energy field equations. It is the energy field that had to have been created. . Nor is light necessary for days to pass. God calibrated the days for us as 'evening and morning' type days to give us the tempo of creation in terms of our experience of the creation and life, so we'd know that God was acting in the cosmos that we would act in. . God's creating is shown as continuous with our experience of his creation. God show that he is close, not far, personal, not impersonal, present and directly active in the creation (and in relation to us), no acting by second causes (e.g. evolution or long ages). . We don't need time keepers for time to pass. If you go to lunch without your watch, your boss will still expect you back in 30 minutes! Besides we are explicitly told that time keepers were made on day 4.
Maybe you misunderstood. The answer is Jesus. Found in revelation. His light is so bright , he was there at the beginning and it will be his light during the millennium
God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. Genesis 1:16 Lmao! The bible says sun is a light and the moon is lesser light, do you think you are better than God who calls the sun a light?
@@irishnich4456 the Bible is written from a first person, epystemological perspective. Moses and the inhabitants of the world at that time saw the moon and sun as the source of light and called it accordingly.
I’ve said this once, I’ll say it again. While we may only be able to be shown snippets of God’s Providence and Power, not having an exact explanation to this question is not a bad thing. One thing I’ve come to accept is that God spoke light into existence. In His Glory he then fashioned light that comes from planetary and cosmic bodies to fashion His order, and for our structure (time). Light was also present before the sun was created in and of that purpose for God’s glory. Why? To keep us from worshipping the sun. And that last bit I hold tightly to because that’s what MANY nations were doing. Idolizing the creature/creation. What a marvelous and infinitely wise God we serve. He spoke light into existence, and for good measure, made the sun afterwards just so we know and revere that HE IS GOD AND GOD ALONE.
But there was darkness before light ...so whose responsible for the darkness that was before light...The Bible says God said let There be light to sperate it from a darkness that was already there i think The must Have two Gods one is for light the other is for darkness i think thea is stronger God of Darkness other than satan infact satan was once an angel of God so how is it he got corrupted as an angel where did that feel of sin come from to make him test God.. if the God of light was the only God in existence ?
@@soloartique5401 Darkness is not the opposite of light, darkness is simply the absence of light. Sin is not the opposite of love, it is the absence of love. Hell is not the opposite of Heaven, it is the absence of God. Satan fell into sin because of his pride. He wanted to be like God.
@@marcaubry9573 As long as God is your first love, you can enjoy food. Greed is a sin, according to the bible, so keep God number 1 in your life. And just enjoy living.
God came tonme twice in my sleep to tell me my mission. He was larger than my two story house and i didnt see a form only a bright light and Thundering voice. I had fear in his presence until he said " Stop it is I" and then i had peace to listen the fear disappeared as soon as i heard him. Yet i fear the Lord but he commanded the fear away so i could hear. Amen. I Love you God 🙏
Yeah well this is reality, not games for children. Or adults that haven't grown up yet. Video gaming is THE MOST destructive element in boys' lives today. The vast majority are ruinous for the soul. And most parents are clueless about them.
@@Face_Reality Yes, in game development you code the light which illuminates the scene you are working in first before adding anything such as a sun or lamp, etc.
@@Face_Reality I just wish I knew why God chose to do it that way. Why there was no explanation. Its a pretty logical reaction to a history of Creation. Of course in other areas we're reminded that God is light. So maybe light from the sun wasn't needed because God was there. But we're really talking about heat here not light. How do you create liquids/water when the temperature is absolute zero? God can do anything but why are we not given an explanation? Is it elsewhere in the Bible?
@@leighviolins Don't listen to the children lost in the dark. Our Lord spoke in parable for a reason. Only his disciples can hear his voice. You belong to the Lord. They always attack those who are one with Christ. Jesus Loves you and shows you the truth to make them who dwell in darkness jelous. Bless you and thank you for the message from our Lord, it makes more sense to me now.
I am a fellow Christian. But please, review your reasoning. God might be light, but His shine is Not what diferenciates "day" from "night" and Genesis categorically says that the light made would separate "day" from "night" ... So, NO.... God's own splendor was Not what separated the days from the nights on the three first days. At least Not according to Genesis. Moreover God is Not "sometimes light" and "sometimes darkness", nor was HE "present" and then "absent" for 12hrs during those days so that it could be the first "3 days" and "3 nights". (Respectfully disagree)
because he doesn't know the answer and doesn't have the wisdom of God. he is just talking gibberish. he cannot justify that verse by his own understanding.
@anyagwatobechukwu3984 Remove the mote from your own eye before commenting on the speck in your brother's. This person respectfully disagreed with the video's point, and your response was condemnation disguised as righteousness. We should strive to live like Jesus, not go around telling everyone they need Him because you disagree with their opinion on a subject they are attempting to learn more about. I too need Jesus, and so do you!! Lets all pray for one another. To be what we are meant to be and called to be. Let our light shine through and be an example of hope and unconditional love and forgiveness. Saying you have Jesus because you said a prayer, or were baptised, whatever the case or whatever your belief is not the same as walking With Christ. Humble yourself. Love freely, judge never. Carry in your heart love, and you carry the spirit of Jesus with you. He said we could have all the treasures of the world, but without love, we have nothing.
Jesus Christ appeared to me in a dream and he said two words, those words were: "love everyone," that day I woke up in amazement, I got up, dressed to go out, when I walked down the street there was a man, walking past me in the opposite direction, he looked at me and I looked at him, we both smiled, and we both understood 🙂
Uh, Martin, you should have realized by now that Moses, the author of Genesis had zero knowledge of astronomy, a science developed much later in the time of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Gallileo. His account of creation is based on his primitive knowledge, observation and imagination.
No, Moses was raised in the Pharaoh's royal household and provided the very best of education. He would have been skilled in mathematics and an advanced knowledge of astronomy because in his day the Egyptians had already understood how to use the stars for traveling, and also could chart days, weeks, months and seasons using the stars. They also made a 12 month calendar based on astronomy.
@@harveywinkerbean1193wrong. Idk when Moses lived 3500years or so but the epyptians?? They was later as civilisation and they was learned from fallen angels also called Gregory that they was the fathers of giants, learn astrology astronomy and so on. Those angels in particular one or few learned to craft weapons shields and plates. Azazel was one of those angels. Read more and dont mix up things.
So if God is light, and if God was not created, why did he had to command to "let there be light", even having to go as far as to seperate the light (in that case himself) from the darkness?
EXACTLY! and why did darkness even EXIST ANYWHERE? To the point that he had to call light into existence, and what caused him to make Humans, call light into existence, animals, and the sun? I don't understand the purpose of animals if he had Angels, and the plans to make humans, animals weren't needed, why digress in creation.
1,000 years to us is only like a day to God because He's outside of time. Time is nothing to God.. it only took Him a day to create something no one can create in any infinite amount of time... that's why the earth isn't even as old as scientists say it is. It's not millions of years old. It's more like 14,000 years at the most. The people who control the world are satanic liars like the Bible says. It says people will lie about creation. These people literally worship Satan. The Creator always was. He's the only thing that doesn't have an origin. Something you'll never understand even if you went to heaven and asked Him. That's why it's humbling to even be in His presence. He's outside of time. He always was. Before He created anything, He was alone and content with Himself in eternity... He then created the Holy Spirit from Himself (as Eve was from Adam) in order to bring forth the Universe. That's why the Holy Spirit is described as a she/her in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is what resides here on earth and is the comforter and the one who put God's Word in man's hearts to bring God's Word unto the earth (The Holy Bible). It is the unforgivable sin to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Nothing and no one created God. He created the Holy Spirit and the son (Jesus). That's why He's God. You'll never understand Him fully even if you were blessed to be in His presence for eternity. Eternity is not even enough for us to learn all the things about God, and I'm pretty sure if you were in His presence, you wouldn't even dare to ask Him certain questions. I'm sure He'll tell us some things, but we're not meant to be all knowing like He is, and that's okay. To try to know literally everything is to try to be like God, which is a sin. But He is outside of time. We are trapped in time (on a timeline) for now. It's kinda like how we can watch a movie, fast forward it, and rewind it, stop it (in real time) because we're outside of it. That's kinda like how God sees everything. He can literally see all the way from the beginning, to now, and he can even see Satan and his followers' future demise... He knows it all because He created time. He pressed the start button and will someday press the end button before we all enter into eternity (spiritual realm/dimension) where time is irrelevant.
The light is a metaphor to help us to see it can mean knowledge or physical light or the goodness of God and if God is outside of the universe, he needed to create this light in our world or maybe the creation of laws like gravity scientific knowledge can be seen as light. he separates the light from darkness could mean the separation of good and evil??
That and that no one has seen him and live no one in this world so to say in my heart there is an God BUT AN EMORTAL SPIRITUAL THAT WE MAY OR NO ONE WILL EVER SEE HES BEYOUND OR RELM THAT NO ONE WILL REACH BUT WILL ALWAYS BE CLOSE IN MY HEART HOW WE GET HERE OR WHY WE MAY NEVER ,EVER KNOW
People question for wisdom. They don’t question to contradict the word of God, but rather to understand it. It’s more of being humble to get to know what we don’t know. Hope this helps you understand
@@TheLifeOfTae some people question for wisdom, others question with an agenda to disprove God or His word. You can usually tell in the persons manner of asking a question. Or some people are simply trolls online that are not worth replying to.
For those asking "if God is all light, then how could there have been darkness/night before the sun and moon were created?". God is in control over all creation and is able to control and light and the absence of light. Remember during the plagues over Egypt, there was a plague of total darkness that affected the Egyptians, but not where Hebrews were (after the sun and moon were in normal operation). It's a miraculous event that took place during the same time of day and area in Egypt during the time of the Exodus. That's not possible through natural means such as clouds, smoke, or an eclipse covering that close of an area (pitch black to normal sun light). The same event will happen during on of the judgements of the great tribulation. The main things are that God has total control over creation, yet He himself is outside of creation. He is able to intervene and interact/affect creation freely as He pleases and demonstrate He is Lord over all things, just as the Lord Jesus Christ walked over water, the winds and waters obey Him, Lord over the sabbath, over sickness and disease, over the demons and devil, and over death itself without relying on human means or the way natural laws normally operate for us.
ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU HE DIED FOR YOU SO YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN CONFESS YOUR SINS AND REPENT.!!!🙏🙏🙏 AMEN.!!!!!!!😊
What is confusing to me is that there are days 1, 2 and 3, but God doesn't invent a way to measure day and night until day 4. How long was a day before day 4.
I always understood that the first chapter of Genesis is supposed to be metaphorical and a poetic way of explaining GOD creating everything. It’s not meant to be taken literally.
Uh, Alex, you might be giving Moses too much credit in the way of metaphors and double meanings. First, he was more a primitive theologian than a natural scientist. But some biblical scholars now are beginning to question if he even existed.
A lot of people including me was haunted by the same question but after lot of thinking I finally got the answer to the question....... The Holy Bible the inspired word of God Almighty was written during the Monsoon season, as we can clearly see the Sun remain covered under the clouds for a week or two we still have regular day and night. So the bible writers 2000 years ago though that it was not necessary for the Sun to exist in order to have light.😊
This past October I saw the lights from an Ophanim angel, it reflected off of its rings onto the clouds, but the angel itself was invisible. Bright holy light.
It say God said let there be light remember when he made the world it was no light til he began working more on the earth its in your face in genesis my friend God is the light
Is not wisdom, Light? Proverbs 8:22 “The LORD brought me forth AS THE FIRST of his WORKS, before his deeds of old; 23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be. 24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water; 25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth. HOPE THIS HELPS
@@russellrosal1 Same thing I thought my self. God bless John 12:36 NIV Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. Ephesians 5:8 NIV For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 1 Thessalonians 5:5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. You think there was something “different” about that light 😉 John 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Yep, “We belong to the day”, “live therefore as children of the light”. You should really understand that New Testament teaching. You’re telling us Paul says we belong to the daylight or that the sun light should be our parent? Cmon man.
Prior to Creation of all, God had to establish order over what was chaos and disorderly (hovered over the unruly). That original "light" is metaphoric for moral light (God Himself) to establish moral order over darkness and chaos. Jesus later came into the world as the moral "light" in-person (as human) to establish what moral order looks like as the example for humanity. So, "light of the world" is metaphoric for righteousness and how to be morally intact with God.
Nice try, rony, mixing morality, a concept of right and wrong with the physical laws of the universe which is amoral. Moses was as confused ad you are about his idea of creation.
We have to understand there are two realms. The spiritual and the physical (the land of the living). So God first spoke the word in the spiritual realm because this is where everything is conceived. The second time God spoke was the manifestation in the physical. We also get to see this in verses 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis". Only when God formed man from the dust as in 2:7 " And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis" now its been manifested in the physical realms where you and I live. Read that word again, and you will see God speaking in the spiritual realm and then in the physical realms. I hope this helps
That be a deep hole y'all be digging, ya know if you just rewrite the book again and omit the discrepancies, slavery and abuses, which everyone skips over any way. In a thousand years from now no one would ever remember.
I was wondering, if GOD separated the waters below and above and speak about a firmament wouldn’t that mean we live under a DOME on a massive plain instead of a globe/planet like we was taught in school?????
Lol,so if God was the Light that means He became Light...? Why did He have to say “Let there be Light” if He “was and is and always will be” Light as they take verses out of context to conveniently answer an unanswerable question? Furthermore,why would God say “it is good” as if He didn’t know the results before He made all that He had made? Why say,since He knows everything before it happens,why say “and He “SAW” that it was really good?” This brings up soooo many questions. I am a believer but today I’ve had enough and I am upset with God because He is too mysterious and should have made His book easier to understand. I am not meaning to curse God or do evil! I am simply upset because all I do every day is read my Bible read my Bible read my Bible and pray pray pray and study study study but it just brings more questions with ZERO answers. Yes,the Lord is Light and in Him is no darkness ,as this guy in the video quoted that verse! Lol but what He is doing is quoting a scripture that is not about physical light but rather good (light) and evil (darkness). I’m a Christian but this is deeply discouraging. Please don’t judge me but I’d like some answers because it doesn’t make sense...none of it
nicholas carter, u have stumbled onto the truth. i know basic astronomy n when it is compare to the genesis1, it is too obvious that the creation story is full of errors. god can create wrongly?? the earth was created on day1, no mention of the universe, heaven is the sky, the sun n moon are also in the sky [we will all burn up instantly] are a few critical errors. there are some more. i studied the bible when i was young. i m thankful that i did not become a christian. i m free as a bird. all thousands of gods are craps.
To be mad at God because you don't understand what he's saying is seen as pride to God and putting yourself as His equal and the Bible says God stands afar from the prideful. The Bible says pray for clarity, but with a prideful heart, God will not come near you... Just ask for forgiveness and change your heart and thoughts. Remember we are the servants to God, not the other way around and God does not care about personal feelings in the way that we do. Example: Even if you "feel" you really love Him and want to go to heaven to be with Him, that does not matter if you're not living by His Word and commandments. That's how we prove our love, not just a feeling. He just doesn't operate that way. In the Old Testament, when God sees willful sin, He just says it must be destroyed. That's why Jesus came as a mediator for us kinda like "hold up, God, have mercy on them for they know not what they do". You do have to repent for being angry with God. ⭐⭐⭐ Now to answer your question: ⭐⭐⭐ You just can't answer anything in the Bible in a quick simple way. It's way too heavy and too much. Firstly, God saying it is good simply means that it is in order. The earth was first without form and void. It was chaotic and empty, only water in the gas state. So gas= out of order/not ordered or formed. Oceans (liquid) = in God's order and complete. God left some of the water in the gas form to surround the earth. All of the land was created as one land mass (what you'd know as Pangaea). Pangaea= the Garden of Eden... The earth was created with water. Water brought forth the land. As far as darkness, something chaotic happened in heaven for the reason why earth was dark. Guess what? Satan disobeyed God and fell from heaven taking some angels with him. Why was there darkness here among the earth? Because this earth was not created for man. It was created as a prison, a place of judgement for Satan. Once God gave light to the earth, He created man and man's purpose on earth: to judge the fallen angels and people who follow them. Yes, God gave us command over demons until their final judgement with God. They are still here roaming the earth. They're trapped here by the firmament. Nothing and no one can leave this place and go outside the firmament. It's a prison. It's not imaginary. Satan and the fallen angels are actually here on earth. The people who control the world worship them to this day. They are also known in the Bible as gods. The term Greek Mythology is deceptive because it's not a myth. Those are the same gods/fallen angels regardless of what names are given to them in whatever culture, they're talking about the same beings. Think about it this way. Many of those gods are of the marine kingdom (research marine kingdom). That's why water is so spiritual in the Bible. Some of those gods are celestial. The Bible describes stars as angels. 1,000 years to us is only like a day to God because He's outside of time. Time is nothing to God.. it only took Him a day to create something no one can create in any infinite amount of time... that's why the earth isn't even as old as scientists say it is. It's not millions of years old. It's more like 14,000 years at the most. The people who control the world are satanic liars like the Bible says. It says people will lie about creation. These people literally worship Satan. The Creator always was. He's the only thing that doesn't have an origin. Something we'll never understand even if you went to heaven and asked Him. That's why it's humbling to even be in His presence. He's outside of time. He always was. Before He created anything, He was alone and content with Himself in eternity...

The Holy Spirit is what resides here on earth and is the comforter and the one who put God's Word in man's hearts to bring God's Word unto the earth (The Holy Bible). It is the unforgivable sin to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Nothing and no one created God. He created the Holy Spirit and the son (Jesus). That's why He's God. You'll never understand Him fully even if you were blessed to be in His presence for eternity. This is why there's no point in being mad at His mysteries. It won't change anything. There's no point in being mad. We're not meant to know every mystery. I don't need to know everything, I'd be grateful to just make it in His kingdom even if I was to be a janitor in heaven lol.. Eternity is not even enough for us to learn all the things about God, and I'm pretty sure if you were in His presence, you wouldn't even dare to ask Him certain questions. I'm sure He'll tell us some things, but we're not meant to be all knowing like He is, and that's okay. To try to know literally everything is to try to be like God, which is a sin. But He is outside of time. We are trapped in time (on a timeline) for now. It's kinda like how we can watch a movie, fast forward it, and rewind it, stop it (in real time) because we're outside of it. That's kinda like how God sees everything. He can literally see all the way from the beginning, to now, and he can even see Satan and his followers' future demise... He knows it all because He created time. Yes we still have free will and we are choosing. It's like watching a toddler go to a stove. The toddler is choosing to go to it, but you just know he's about to try to touch the stove smh. That's how God sees us like His children. I'm sure He thinks our temper tantrums towards Him are silly like we would a toddler. He pressed the start button and will someday press the end button before we all enter into eternity (spiritual realm/dimension) where time is irrelevant.
Its because the alpha n omega wasn't the only alpha n omega... If God is light n in him no darkness he said let there be light to sperate light from darkness ....notice how the darkness was always around even before he said let thea be light .... it's time to get woke people
The text does not say the sun was created on day four.The text says( let there be lights’)The sun moon and stars are now distinct objects that can be seen from the surface of the earth
In the whole universe there are mainly three kinds of light: The natural light: the sun and the moon, created by God. The artificial light: the man-made light, the light man makes to have some sort of light. The spiritual light, God Himself as light, the genuine light and the source of all light Remember always walk in the light of God!
You are not undestanding the passage correctly. The sun was NOT created on the fourth day, but at the beginning of creation in Gen. 1:1 when God created the heavens (the hebrew word for creating also means to fill, and therefore God filled the heavens and the earth as He created them). On the fourth day, what God did is make the luminaries visible, meaning that He caused the sun, the moon and the stars to give light upon the earth and hence to rule the day and the night. So, what 1:14-16 is saying is that God appointed the luminaries to rule the day and the night on earth (He made them rule the day and the night), not that He made them as material objects.
Gen 1:16 says God made two great lights; the greater light to tryle the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: hje made stars also. then 17 it says God set them in the firmament so it kinda does say got made them not just appointed them. When I read your thing yoiu made me think he didn't say he created them on the fourth day
@@lostmagicdude888 In 1:16, God made two great lights to rule over the day and over the night, and he also made the stars for that purporse. So, the word make does not mean create, build or manufacture, but rather become functional; he made them to rule the day and the night, meaning that he made them for that function. In relation to Gen. 1:17, note that the Hebrew word "vayiten" does not primarily mean to set but to give (vayiten otam be-rakia ha-shammayim...), and so literally this verse reads "and God gave (or is giving) them to the firmament of the heavens...", meaning that he is providing them in the firmament with the function of giving light to earth. Note that from our perspective the firmament is the atmosphere. So, the luminaries are not only figuratively set in the firmament, but their light is transferred (given) to the firmament so it may be filtered by the atmosphere and thus acquire a useful biological function before it is given to the earth. So, to set the luminaries in the firmament does not mean that God physically placed them there, but that the light he is providing to us through them is first given to the firmament so it may be adequated to the biological needs of the earth, as the text literally says that God is giving the luminaries to the firmament so they may shine their light upon the earth, which is ultimately God's light, because in 1:3 God is providing the only light mentioned in the text, and so on the fourth day it is the light of God which is transferred (given) to the firmament, which, from our perspective, is the atmosphere. The light is then transferred to the earth after being filtered by the atmosphere to acquire its biological function, because without an atmosphere the light of the sun and stars would not have a useful biological function, as the cosmic rays from outer space would destroy all life, and so the atmosphere made on the second day only reaches its full biological function on the fourth day when it is able to filter the light of God before that light is finally transferred to the earth. So, the idea is that the luminaries acquire their biological function as their light reaches and penetrates the atmosphere, transferring only God's life-giving light to the earth, as the atmosphere filters out the harmful light, such as cosmic rays, which of course ultimately also come from God. Note also that neither the sun nor the moon are mentioned in Genesis 1, and so the luminaries may be considered to be more than just stars, as figuratively they may refer to future rulers or other important people, such as prophets and heroes, as the morning stars in Job, who bring or are supposed to bring to us God's light from a higher circle of authority (figuratively, a heaven). So, figuratively, this passage is saying that God provides the authorities who are to rule on earth, as he delegates authority to them for ruling on earth, but they are to rule for better or for worse according to how they filter and interpret the light that they ultimately receive from God. So, on the fourth day, that God made the luminaries to rule the earth means that he delegated power to them (not that he created them), as they are the ones who are to rule on earth. To do that, ie to make the luminaries ready for ruling on earth, God gave them to (hence figuratively "set" them in) the firmament of heaven, meaning that the light of stars (and the light of rulers) is transferred to the atmosphere (or government), so the light may be given a useful biological function as it is filtered by the atmosphere before it reaches the earth.
@@vacaloca5575 Thank you sir! One thing I notice is you leave out a semicolon which implies a pause and not having the pause implies a continuation of the logic which makes what you say make more sense but having the semicolon makes what you say seem less true. with semicolon "God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night" your version "God made two great lights to rule over the day and over the night" see how these two read very differently? In the actual scripture with the semi colon space it makes it seem like he made the lights but in your example it could more easily be interpreted to seem like he just made the lights govern the day and night. With the semicolon it does seem like it is saying he made the lights not that he is telling the lights what to do One thing I was wondering also is that in Genesis 1:11 "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind" And plants cannot grow without the sun and you are saying the cosmic light is too powerful and harmful for biological life such as plants so in your interpretation on the fourth day the atmosphere was made to be able to transfer only the light which is life-giving but plants were able to grow on the third day so I was wondering how the plants grew under the harmful cosmic rays or how they grew with just light but no heat from the sun? One thing I am reading is that photosynthesis actually doesn't require heat and only requires light so maybe actually the sun's heat wasn't needed for the plants to grow. So many people are saying plants can't grow without the sun but maybe that's just not true and that would make this make a lot more sense to me. the luminaries being possible angels or prophets or possibly rulers is interesting!!!!! true that the words sun and moon are never mentioned. Thank you so much!!!! I have spent the last two days reading many youtube comments and reading articles trying to get different people's interpretations. Trying to make sense of how there are days on day 1-3 with the greater and lesser lights not being set to govern them
@@lostmagicdude888 There are no semicolons in the original Hebrew; so, the ones you see were just added there by translators and should have no bearing on the reading. Older translations like the KJV have a lot of semicolons, but newer ones don't because modern English does not use them in the same way. Note that I did not say that the atmosphere was made on the fourth day, but only that it became fully functional in that day. In fact, I did say the atmosphere was made on the second day, since the firmament which God made on that day and then called heaven is the atmosphere. So, the plants growing on the third day would already be protected. I believe the atmosphere becomes fully functional on the fourth day, not by becoming more protective, but when the luminaries begin to function as signals for biological growth ("And let them be for signs..."), allowing the animal life to proliferate on the following day. Note that about two centuries ago a russian researcher Alexander Gutwich discovered that the growth of fish eggs was controlled by light emissions coming from the DNA of the mother.
1. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (Genesis 1:2) 3. The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever (Psalm 29:10) 4. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters (Psalm 29:3) 5. When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures (Jeremiah 10:3) 6. Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind (Psalm 104:3) 7. And He made darkness pavilions round about Him dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies (2 Samuel 22:12) 8. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled; Thy way is in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps are not known (Psalm 77:16;19) THESE TEXTS ABOVE IMPLY THAT GOD ALMIGHTY RESIDES OVER WATER THEREFORE THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVING OVER THE WATERS IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THE LORD’S OPERATIONAL PRESENCE, MIND, CHARACTER and VOICE ARE PERMANENTLY RESIDING OVER THE WATERS STARTING WITH THE SEA OF GLASS LIKE CRYSTAL IN REVELATION 4:6. SIMILARLY: Psalms 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel; WE KNOW FROM THE SCRIPTURES THAT GOD’s PRESENCE IN OUR REALM IS DIVINE BY NATURE IMPLYING A PHYSICAL AS WELL AS SPIRITUAL PRESENCE. Hence, if God was already surrounded by dark waters, it makes sense that in Genesis 1, one day one, He created light within the waters. Second day, God created a firmament to separate the waters. By day 4, the sun, moon and stars were created AND set in the firmament. Consequently, light already existed before the luminaries were created and they were created to govern or rule their territories where the sun rules the day and the moon governs the night. That’s why we have daylight which is general light that appears even without the sun in sight. It does not generate heat nor cast a shadow. Sunlight on the other hand is specific light with rays and generates intense heat whilst also casting shadows.
God is, always was, and always will be, so is his light. He didn't need to make light on the first day. So some other light was made the first day by Him. You didn't think that threw. 🤔
If God was the light before the sun and God said, "Let there be light" did God turn himself on? Did his light not radiate out into the Void until he told it to? That seems contradictory to the immutability of God.
The atmosphere was too thick on day one for the light of the sun to penetrate through.the text says darkness was on the SURFACE of the waters .And God says let there be light ,light where?ON The SURFACE of waters .Where does the text say there was darkness?
The Hebrew uses two different words in this 2 passages. The first, especially in the writing of Moses, carries a spiritual connotation of enlightenment, or the giving of truth. The second word refers to physical sources of light.
Christ came to baptize with the Spirit & 🔥 Fire. Fire is refining. So one truly baptized in this passes through the fires of the Holy Spirit's judgement on earth. Many professing Christians are not truly doing this. And for those who are not believers they will pass through the 'lake of fire' after their body dies. Our soul (mind will emotion) and body must 'die' - for all of us, and be raised in Christ. Immortal body and righteousness of Christ are the the reward. ♡ The Total Victory of Christ is a great TH-cam channel if you really want to understand.
@@auntieanna Ok, I'll consider watching but first... Jesus rose from the dead in three days, correct? Yet how come Christians don't believe in reincarnation?
Well, the body dies and is 'reborn' ONCE for all time, same for the inner man. Once we put off mortality and sin, there is no more work to be done. Only two deaths assigned to each person in Christiany. Possibly we preexisted with God in heaven before our bodies took on flesh, but this wouldn't be common Christian theology. I just know there is debate about it, and I haven't spent adequate time studying it. It could possibly explain why some people have remembrance of life before this life, ålthough, it wouldn't have been an earthly life. ♡
I thought you were gonna just say the first part and i was like no way your gonna go with the easy out. Definitely jogged my memory of a couple of verses.
What about the night of that 1st to 3rd day of creation, since theres no darkness in God, does it mean the light that came from God has limimiteation in terms of scope of its light..
let's shed some "light" on the subject. From God comes the light he created; light comes originally from God he is the source of all light that penetrates the darkness and helps us to see. The sun is not the source of all "light' God is the source and creator. The Lord is the light!
Yeah clearly notice how u have also admitted God has nothing to do with the darkness that was thea before he said let there be light so unless there have been two Gods the whole time one for light the other is darkness ...our God is the God of light the other God is for darkness i bet the God of darkness is the original God of sin n evil...why u ask.....well who made satan want to test God if God was the only alpha n omega then where was the competition coming from?
@@soloartique5401 God also created the darkness he created lucifer and he brought about his own demise. the darkness could simply be "black matter". I can't write everything in Genesis and the light is what we're talking about here.
the dark matter is apart of the heavens that he created science has observed light creating matter so this would be the reason God created light first.@@soloartique5401
My theory is, Light on 1st day was for spiritual heavens realm where angels and God's throne is. But the sun is for physical man since he needs day and night to operate well in his physical created environment.
These videos are so stress reliving. when you don’t need to understand/solve Maxwells equations regarding electromagnetic wave and just say God is light.
By creating light I understand that God created principals of the world’s physics. In which speed of light is essential to distinguish space from time.
As a fellow Christian, I don’t think this is the best answer to this question. So many more questions come to mind from your answer alone. Reading Genesis 1:3-5 as I type this so I’m trying to make sense of it as well at the moment. God bless!
Nothing he said makes sense at all. He's a young earth creationist which means he interprets those early passages as literal 24 hour days but how would he know this if by his own admission the Sun wasn't created until later? The sun is what we use to determine 24 hour periods on Earth.
@@leonardu6094 6 days is pretty straightforward, the religious community is just trying to find ways to rationalize their beliefs because they conflate with modern science. Simply put, this is false. Along with the majority of religious text.
@@Ruder6163 No, it's not "straightforward" at all and I just explained why. Contrary to your naive preconcieved notion, the early church fathers have debated the interpretation of Genesis long before the advent of modern science and evolutionary biology,. So, no. we're not "trying to find way to rationalize our beliefs with modern science".
@@leonardu6094 so why can't you be a young earth creationist and believe that they are not a literal 24 hour period. If it is interpreted as a "long period of time" that doesn't necessarily support the notion that evolution is real nor does it necessarily support the notion that it is equivalent to billions of years.
@@newcreationinchrist1423 “Young Earth Creationist” is traditionally defined as the belief that the Earth was created in six 24 hour days. If you want to redefine that to mean something else, you’re more than welcome. But that’s what people mean when they use that term.
where I came from before birth, they had light in the sky without a sun, I prayed upon the sky right before my Trip to earth . they claimed God was considering a sun in the sky I prayed under I was shocked 😅
That light is Jesus.. The first born of creation.. born from God as a word... The light by whom God created everything.. The light is the source of the life for all creation.. and the light who is Jesus in flesh is The image of the invisible God... because No one can see God .. if you want to see God you see the light which is Jesus, who himself said if you see me you see the Father. God operates through The light. He did everything through The light. Like john said [3] All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men. [5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
@@HiThere-qr4jz Yes Born into existence, Light was not there, until God spoke The word/The Voice which was created/appeared/ incarnated as the light. The first and the last. Notice The light is creation not The voice of God. The voice of God created light and light is everything. The Sound/Voice/Word is a divine entity. When he spoke in the waters Light appeared, which some people call it BigBang. But there is a scientific word for it and it's Sonoluminescence. Google it. And you will get the picture
@@HiThere-qr4jz you mean Jesus as a divine entity, of course He is not created. The voice of God cannot be created. I'm talking about The incarnation as the light and The flesh as human being. Read my second reply.
If I may encourage you to consider the language Genesis was written in. When we do that we see the following In verse 14 we have that unusual construction again of "let there be." It is not a statement of creation, but a statement of appearance. At this point, the clouds present at the initial creation of the earth were completely removed so that the bodies themselves appeared for the first time on the surface of the earth. The passage tells us that the lights were allowed "to be" so that they could be signs of the seasons, days, and years. It was necessary for the creatures of day 5 that the heavenly bodies be visible. We know that many of the migratory birds (created on day 5) require visible stars to navigate, hence the need to actually see these bodies. Verse 18 gives us another hint. The lights were placed in the sky to "separate the light from the darkness." Does this sound familiar? It is the exact Hebrew phrase used for God's work on the first day when, "God separated the light from the darkness" (Genesis 1:4) By using this phrase, the text is recounting the formation of the Sun, moon and stars from the first day. If we accept that God created the Sun, moon and stars on the fourth day, then He didn't really create the heavens in verse one. So, the 24-hour day interpretation suffers a contradiction between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:16 So from the text and from the study of creation, we see that the sun, moon and stars were created in the beginning before day one in the text even started
It NEVER says the sun, moon, and stars were "created" on day 4. It says they were "made". Create is the hebrew word BARA, while made is the hebrew word ASAH. Asah also means "to appoint", and NEVER means "to create". Because ASAH is most often translated as "made" in hebrew, consider this: If you MADE your bed on day 4, does that mean that your bed was "created" on day 4? Of course not! Had people actually read their scriptures, they would have known that Job 38 states that the stars existed on the very first day, lol. But these pastors DONT know the scriptures, and teach deceits. Due to ignorance.
What is the "light"? The Hebrew word in the verse is "ore". Genesis 1:5 says the "ore" (light) is "day". God gave the answer. But many people want to force a different meaning/understanding upon the word, which is why the simple fact that the light was the DAY period of time.
The 'morning stars' are celestial beings, not physical stars. Job 38: 7 is a parallelism, a common motif in Hebrew poetry. The morning stars and the sons of God are referring to the same entities poetically in different ways. Also I think you may be reading too much into the distinction between bara and asah in this passage. Genesis 1: 26 and 27 use them as synonyms for each other (make man vs created man). Similarly, created birds and fish vs made the beasts of the earth. Further, asah is used to refer to all the creative works of the whole creation week in Genesis 2:2 and 3. To belabor the point further, Genesis 2:4 uses created and made as direct synonyms again. Or if you would prefer a passage outside Genesis, 'created' and 'made' are used as parts of a couplets several times in Isaiah as well. Notably in chapters 43 and 45 (Whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him, yes I have made him.) (I form the light and created darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.) So while bara and asah DO have different precise definitions, they're commonly used as synonyms for each other. ESPECIALLY when describing the creative labors of God. I wouldn't be so quick to throw around accusations of ignorance, especially not on a secondary issue like whether the days of Genesis are literal 24 hour days or an instant or vast undefined aeons of time.
@@bennewby9600 theres just one problem with your BS explanation. The hebrew verse DOES NOT call them "morning stars". It says: Boqer kokawb Which means, when english words are added, "at morning, the stars sang praises". Just as the book of Enoch says, the sun moon and stars sing praises. It literally says that tue stars sang praises, but that the sons of God shouted for joy. 2 completely different actions, taking place at the same time, by 2 completely different groups.
If god already is light why would he need to say "let there be light" ? Unless light in this case represents truth or goodness and the dark ignorance/evil. So maybe in this case seperating day from night refers to the creation of the opposing positive and negative forces of the world like good or bad or hot or cold and all that. And from that perspective you could even say light is consciousness, since without consciousness you cant differentiate between opposite forces. Only issue with this is the following paragraphs sound pretty literal with no metaphorical meaning that i could find. So either just the first paragraph is a metaphor which is possible, or or none of it is. I dont know tho just an idea. Thoughts?
Totally missing the point that the Bible says that there was air and dry land before there were stars. Seems silly now that we know what stars are and the process of formation.
Genesis 1:1 says that in the beginning (before the six creative days began starting at Genesis 1:3), God created the heavens and the earth. The physical heavens include the sun, moon and stars. Genesis 1:2 says that there was darkness on the surface of the earth. When God said "Let there be light”, diffused light from the already-created sun began to penetrate the earth's thick atmosphere to reach earth’s surface. Genesis 1:16 says that on the fourth day God "made" the sun, moon and stars, but that does not mean that God created them ex nihilo at that time. The word for "made" in this verse is not the same word as "create" used in Genesis 1:1. God "made" the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day in the sense that he placed them in the sky, causing them to become distinctly visible as light sources from the vantage point of the earth, perhaps due to a gradual thinning of the atmosphere. (Some say that the six days of creation were literal 24-hour days, but the word "day" in the Bible can refer to a long period of time.)
god didnt create the firmament to seperate the waters until day 2 when he created SKY, so there was absolutely no dark thick atmosphere blocking the sun as you claim LIAR.
On the fourth day you could see the source , the source itself was created on the first day . Its a translation to english where two words say light are the same but in hebrew the words are different.
Metaphors and mistranslations my man, you need to explain to people that they used one word to describe many things back then. What are the other meanings of the word they used for light and darkness? Let everyone try to figure for themself what was meant. Why do u get to hire someone to translate and decide thats the true translation.
The Sun verse was past tense. Sun had been blotted out. Thats what killed the the dinosaurs and what not. Whatever blocked it was removed after He spake. He also said " replenish the Earth" which means something had been on Earth in the past, but was no longer.
This is actually a simple answer. Day 1, God creates the LIght. What is Light? It is time. That is why we have Day and Night which led to first day. Day 4 is never a creation of light. It is the creation of all the heavenly bodies like the sun, moon and stars. And light was given to them to luminous. Light is never created twice.
Another doubt arose after watching this video. If yu say God is light why the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the earth (Genesis 1:2) there wouldn't be darkness before as God himself is light. My suggestion is when he created the light I.e day with the feature of giving brightness without sun. Ofcourse God is the Light of the world.
He himself was the light so he worked at his own pace then made the sun and moon to takeover so we know seasons and signs you're thinking on a 24hr format we don't know how long God was working here first 3 days but common sense would tell you he most likely ran a simulation using his own light the 1st 3 days so that he could program the sun and moon to follow it he's the creator
God said let there be light and there was light, and then he said, let there be two great lights, the greater to rule the day and the lesser to rule the night. It could very well be that he was the source of the initial light, prior to the creation of the sun and the moon. Revelation 21:23 and the city has no need of sun or the moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city IE the new Jerusalem, and the Lamb is it’s light. Eden was the old Jerusalem, The heathen doesn’t have a clue of who the eternal God of the ages really is, and what he’s capable of doing. Let us as Christians hold firmly the profession of our faith without wavering, amen.
I been thinking about this today and ive been digging and digging and i think ive figured it out I BELIEVE GOD IS LIGHT, GOD IS A BIG LIGHT IN SHAPE IN THE FORM OF A MAN, IN MOSES HE SAID HE HAD A BACK,HE HAD A HAND, HE HAS A HEAD BUT HE IS TOO BRIGHT TO SEE WITH THE EYE.. GOD IS LIGHT!!
You'd think that would be clear to everyone but some just are so stiff necked. Not sure you can have an evening and morning to a time period of 1000 years long. Or a million. But evolutionists find a way!
My friend, you honestly have no clue. Let us meet on Zoom, invite all the people you are misleading, and let me reveal the truth to them. I almost answered you. But then you will be too scared to face me on Zoom.
Not a physical light but a symbolic light. So what you are saying then is that god separated himself from himself called part of himself light and the other part of himself darkness?
The moon and sun is not light, They are sources of light, light is light, saying the moon and sun is light is like saying the fan is is wind, or the tap is water, ask the Holy spirit for explanation, He speaks
That’s true. Perhaps God is illustrating something to us and THAT may be why He does things the way He does. That is also why He asked questions,I believe,because every good teacher asks questions to their students and to utter the words “It is good,very good,does not seem to imply to me anymore that God didn’t know that it would be good. Perhaps God was simply affirming it as an expression of satisfaction with what He had made. I cannot understand everything but so far I have learned that God is always teaching us something new
Exactly.
.
God created 'light' on day 1 because light, or energy (light is but the visible-to-us part of the electro-magnetic spectrum, or the 'energy spectrum' in shorthand) had to be created first. Energy is the basis of the material universe. No energy, no nuthin' else. The creating of light on day 1 is refelcted in the Maxwell-Heaviside energy field equations. It is the energy field that had to have been created.
.
Nor is light necessary for days to pass. God calibrated the days for us as 'evening and morning' type days to give us the tempo of creation in terms of our experience of the creation and life, so we'd know that God was acting in the cosmos that we would act in.
.
God's creating is shown as continuous with our experience of his creation. God show that he is close, not far, personal, not impersonal, present and directly active in the creation (and in relation to us), no acting by second causes (e.g. evolution or long ages).
.
We don't need time keepers for time to pass. If you go to lunch without your watch, your boss will still expect you back in 30 minutes! Besides we are explicitly told that time keepers were made on day 4.
Maybe you misunderstood. The answer is Jesus. Found in revelation. His light is so bright , he was there at the beginning and it will be his light during the millennium
God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
Genesis 1:16
Lmao! The bible says sun is a light and the moon is lesser light, do you think you are better than God who calls the sun a light?
@@irishnich4456 the Bible is written from a first person, epystemological perspective. Moses and the inhabitants of the world at that time saw the moon and sun as the source of light and called it accordingly.
God is Light.
If he's light, then he HAS to be darkness as well. If he's eternal, then he also never existed at the same time, just a few things to think about.
@ebenmenon2 yep, and a small man the size of an Ant has more strength.
I’ve said this once, I’ll say it again. While we may only be able to be shown snippets of God’s Providence and Power, not having an exact explanation to this question is not a bad thing. One thing I’ve come to accept is that God spoke light into existence. In His Glory he then fashioned light that comes from planetary and cosmic bodies to fashion His order, and for our structure (time). Light was also present before the sun was created in and of that purpose for God’s glory. Why? To keep us from worshipping the sun. And that last bit I hold tightly to because that’s what MANY nations were doing. Idolizing the creature/creation. What a marvelous and infinitely wise God we serve. He spoke light into existence, and for good measure, made the sun afterwards just so we know and revere that HE IS GOD AND GOD ALONE.
Amen
Revelations 21:23 then Revelations 18:1
Because Jesus is the light!
then there is no need to create light. no need to create the sun too.
Cuz Jesus is the Word and the Light ....In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God!
But there was darkness before light ...so whose responsible for the darkness that was before light...The Bible says God said let There be light to sperate it from a darkness that was already there i think The must Have two Gods one is for light the other is for darkness i think thea is stronger God of Darkness other than satan infact satan was once an angel of God so how is it he got corrupted as an angel where did that feel of sin come from to make him test God.. if the God of light was the only God in existence ?

In game development you have to write the code for light first and then the object which will emit it.
Yeah well this is reality, not games for children. Or adults that haven't grown up yet. Video gaming is THE MOST destructive element in boys' lives today. The vast majority are ruinous for the soul. And most parents are clueless about them.
That's not what the Bible is saying. There was actual light here (not just a code) before the sun...
@@Face_Reality Yes, in game development you code the light which illuminates the scene you are working in first before adding anything such as a sun or lamp, etc.
@@Face_Reality I just wish I knew why God chose to do it that way. Why there was no explanation. Its a pretty logical reaction to a history of Creation. Of course in other areas we're reminded that God is light. So maybe light from the sun wasn't needed because God was there. But we're really talking about heat here not light. How do you create liquids/water when the temperature is absolute zero? God can do anything but why are we not given an explanation? Is it elsewhere in the Bible?

I am a fellow Christian. But please, review your reasoning. God might be light, but His shine is Not what diferenciates "day" from "night" and Genesis categorically says that the light made would separate "day" from "night" ... So, NO.... God's own splendor was Not what separated the days from the nights on the three first days. At least Not according to Genesis. Moreover God is Not "sometimes light" and "sometimes darkness", nor was HE "present" and then "absent" for 12hrs during those days so that it could be the first "3 days" and "3 nights". (Respectfully disagree)
because he doesn't know the answer and doesn't have the wisdom of God. he is just talking gibberish. he cannot justify that verse by his own understanding.
You need Jesus. Go and do your research and you will find out that even at the moment of conception there is a light.
John 1:4 explains that better
I am talking to you @Ih7550 you need Jesus in your life.
@anyagwatobechukwu3984 Remove the mote from your own eye before commenting on the speck in your brother's. This person respectfully disagreed with the video's point, and your response was condemnation disguised as righteousness. We should strive to live like Jesus, not go around telling everyone they need Him because you disagree with their opinion on a subject they are attempting to learn more about. I too need Jesus, and so do you!! Lets all pray for one another. To be what we are meant to be and called to be. Let our light shine through and be an example of hope and unconditional love and forgiveness. Saying you have Jesus because you said a prayer, or were baptised, whatever the case or whatever your belief is not the same as walking With Christ. Humble yourself. Love freely, judge never. Carry in your heart love, and you carry the spirit of Jesus with you. He said we could have all the treasures of the world, but without love, we have nothing.

Jesus Christ appeared to me in a dream and he said two words, those words were: "love everyone," that day I woke up in amazement, I got up, dressed to go out, when I walked down the street there was a man, walking past me in the opposite direction, he looked at me and I looked at him, we both smiled, and we both understood 🙂
A deeper question is: “If the sun was created after the Earth was formed, what did the Earth “rotate” around before the sun?”
@Richard Weiss ha ha
Uh, Martin, you should have realized by now that Moses, the author of Genesis had zero knowledge of astronomy, a science developed much later in the time of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Gallileo. His account of creation is based on his primitive knowledge, observation and imagination.
Why did God cause the " sun to stand still" for Joshua ? That implies the Sun is in motion..not the other way around.
No, Moses was raised in the Pharaoh's royal household and provided the very best of education. He would have been skilled in mathematics and an advanced knowledge of astronomy because in his day the Egyptians had already understood how to use the stars for traveling, and also could chart days, weeks, months and seasons using the stars. They also made a 12 month calendar based on astronomy.
@@harveywinkerbean1193wrong. Idk when Moses lived 3500years or so but the epyptians?? They was later as civilisation and they was learned from fallen angels also called Gregory that they was the fathers of giants, learn astrology astronomy and so on. Those angels in particular one or few learned to craft weapons shields and plates. Azazel was one of those angels. Read more and dont mix up things.
So if God is light, and if God was not created, why did he had to command to "let there be light", even having to go as far as to seperate the light (in that case himself) from the darkness?
He Gave birth to his Son .. Jesus The light of the world by whom he created everything 🙏
EXACTLY! and why did darkness even EXIST ANYWHERE? To the point that he had to call light into existence, and what caused him to make Humans, call light into existence, animals, and the sun? I don't understand the purpose of animals if he had Angels, and the plans to make humans, animals weren't needed, why digress in creation.
Brother don't u see u r making no sense he created animals for us @@astralmindny9055
Because GOD is light.
If God is Light, then why did he have to take a day and create light? Did he create himself?
Same as if you design a game you're gonna run simulations before releasing the game
He appeared in atmosphere
1,000 years to us is only like a day to God because He's outside of time. Time is nothing to God.. it only took Him a day to create something no one can create in any infinite amount of time... that's why the earth isn't even as old as scientists say it is. It's not millions of years old. It's more like 14,000 years at the most. The people who control the world are satanic liars like the Bible says. It says people will lie about creation. These people literally worship Satan. The Creator always was. He's the only thing that doesn't have an origin. Something you'll never understand even if you went to heaven and asked Him. That's why it's humbling to even be in His presence. He's outside of time. He always was. Before He created anything, He was alone and content with Himself in eternity... He then created the Holy Spirit from Himself (as Eve was from Adam) in order to bring forth the Universe. That's why the Holy Spirit is described as a she/her in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is what resides here on earth and is the comforter and the one who put God's Word in man's hearts to bring God's Word unto the earth (The Holy Bible). It is the unforgivable sin to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Nothing and no one created God. He created the Holy Spirit and the son (Jesus). That's why He's God. You'll never understand Him fully even if you were blessed to be in His presence for eternity. Eternity is not even enough for us to learn all the things about God, and I'm pretty sure if you were in His presence, you wouldn't even dare to ask Him certain questions. I'm sure He'll tell us some things, but we're not meant to be all knowing like He is, and that's okay. To try to know literally everything is to try to be like God, which is a sin. But He is outside of time. We are trapped in time (on a timeline) for now. It's kinda like how we can watch a movie, fast forward it, and rewind it, stop it (in real time) because we're outside of it. That's kinda like how God sees everything. He can literally see all the way from the beginning, to now, and he can even see Satan and his followers' future demise... He knows it all because He created time. He pressed the start button and will someday press the end button before we all enter into eternity (spiritual realm/dimension) where time is irrelevant.
The light is a metaphor to help us to see it can mean knowledge or physical light or the goodness of God and if God is outside of the universe, he needed to create this light in our world or maybe the creation of laws like gravity scientific knowledge can be seen as light. he separates the light from darkness could mean the separation of good and evil??
I like the part where he was so exhausted he had to rest a day. Imagine a god that gets tired?
What's scary is that we can't fathom what God is because of how infinite he is. This has always freaked me out
That and that no one has seen him and live no one in this world so to say in my heart there is an God BUT AN EMORTAL SPIRITUAL THAT WE MAY OR NO ONE WILL EVER SEE HES BEYOUND OR RELM THAT NO ONE WILL REACH BUT WILL ALWAYS BE CLOSE IN MY HEART HOW WE GET HERE OR WHY WE MAY NEVER ,EVER KNOW
Haha ohhh man meee tooo but He is Love. We don’t need to fear. John 3:16
Ya,He is indescribable and uncontainable...inexpressible! Wow
That’s an excuse people give themselves for believing in what they cannot explain
Because the imagination has no limits.
I don't understand why people have to question the word of God if God said there was light. There was light.
People question for wisdom. They don’t question to contradict the word of God, but rather to understand it. It’s more of being humble to get to know what we don’t know. Hope this helps you understand
You didn’t explain it. If you did it went over the heads of many Christians
Ask and?
Knock and?
Seek and?
Not all Christian’s are mature in faith as you are. Christians young in the word are young in faith.
@@TheLifeOfTae some people question for wisdom, others question with an agenda to disprove God or His word. You can usually tell in the persons manner of asking a question. Or some people are simply trolls online that are not worth replying to.
For those asking "if God is all light, then how could there have been darkness/night before the sun and moon were created?". God is in control over all creation and is able to control and light and the absence of light. Remember during the plagues over Egypt, there was a plague of total darkness that affected the Egyptians, but not where Hebrews were (after the sun and moon were in normal operation). It's a miraculous event that took place during the same time of day and area in Egypt during the time of the Exodus. That's not possible through natural means such as clouds, smoke, or an eclipse covering that close of an area (pitch black to normal sun light). The same event will happen during on of the judgements of the great tribulation. The main things are that God has total control over creation, yet He himself is outside of creation. He is able to intervene and interact/affect creation freely as He pleases and demonstrate He is Lord over all things, just as the Lord Jesus Christ walked over water, the winds and waters obey Him, Lord over the sabbath, over sickness and disease, over the demons and devil, and over death itself without relying on human means or the way natural laws normally operate for us.
ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU HE DIED FOR YOU SO YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN CONFESS YOUR SINS AND REPENT.!!!🙏🙏🙏 AMEN.!!!!!!!😊
You are out of place here witn your promotion of jesus. Light is the subject here. Maybe you need to be born again a third time.
Truth.
But it says he created the light. How can he be what he created?
God is light
What is confusing to me is that there are days 1, 2 and 3, but God doesn't invent a way to measure day and night until day 4. How long was a day before day 4.
Makes me wonder how the Lord defines the word day or the author of Genesis
I believe it was God's measure but ours to help us know is to use the day and night with the sun and moon
I always understood that the first chapter of Genesis is supposed to be metaphorical and a poetic way of explaining GOD creating everything. It’s not meant to be taken literally.
Uh, Alex, you might be giving Moses too much credit in the way of metaphors and double meanings. First, he was more a primitive theologian than a natural scientist. But some biblical scholars now are beginning to question if he even existed.
A lot of people including me was haunted by the same question but after lot of thinking I finally got the answer to the question.......
The Holy Bible the inspired word of God Almighty was written during the Monsoon season, as we can clearly see the Sun remain covered under the clouds for a week or two we still have regular day and night. So the bible writers 2000 years ago though that it was not necessary for the Sun to exist in order to have light.😊
So god was the light during the day, and his light turns off during the night? So can god switch off his light, like a switch?
That was my question too. So before He said: 'let there be light' His light was switched off?
In the new creation there will be no need for the luminaries, for the LORD God and the Lamb are the light!
This past October I saw the lights from an Ophanim angel, it reflected off of its rings onto the clouds, but the angel itself was invisible. Bright holy light.
THANK YOU PASTOR NELSON FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL TEACHING. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER AMEN!!!
Then why was the earth in darkness while spirit of God hovering on water??
It say God said let there be light remember when he made the world it was no light til he began working more on the earth its in your face in genesis my friend God is the light
@Bomboy Fred very good observation!
Is not wisdom, Light?
Proverbs 8:22 “The LORD brought me forth AS THE FIRST of his WORKS, before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,
26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.
HOPE THIS HELPS

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

John 1:3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Yep,
“We belong to the day”, “live therefore as children of the light”.
You should really understand that New Testament teaching. You’re telling us Paul says we belong to the daylight or that the sun light should be our parent? Cmon man.
Prior to Creation of all, God had to establish order over what was chaos and disorderly (hovered over the unruly). That original "light" is metaphoric for moral light (God Himself) to establish moral order over darkness and chaos. Jesus later came into the world as the moral "light" in-person (as human) to establish what moral order looks like as the example for humanity. So, "light of the world" is metaphoric for righteousness and how to be morally intact with God.
A man of wisdom! The Holy Spirit is in you!
loved this, thank you.
Nice try, rony, mixing morality, a concept of right and wrong with the physical laws of the universe
which is amoral. Moses was as confused ad you are about his idea of creation.
@@conradbulos6164so now that you know what it was, why don't you just tell us, instead of being a marking scheme for others perspectives
We have to understand there are two realms. The spiritual and the physical (the land of the living). So God first spoke the word in the spiritual realm because this is where everything is conceived.
The second time God spoke was the manifestation in the physical. We also get to see this in verses 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis". Only when God formed man from the dust as in 2:7 " And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis" now its been manifested in the physical realms where you and I live.
Read that word again, and you will see God speaking in the spiritual realm and then in the physical realms. I hope this helps
Best explanation I've heard so far ...
by far the best and most simple explination ive ever recieved on this topic. thank you brother/sister, God bless you.
That be a deep hole y'all be digging, ya know if you just rewrite the book again and omit the discrepancies, slavery and abuses, which everyone skips over any way. In a thousand years from now no one would ever remember.
If God was the light, as suggested, why then did he create it(himself)? You’d think He has always been light, which means there was always light..
I was wondering, if GOD separated the waters below and above and speak about a firmament wouldn’t that mean we live under a DOME on a massive plain instead of a globe/planet like we was taught in school?????
Lol,so if God was the Light that means He became Light...? Why did He have to say “Let there be Light” if He “was and is and always will be” Light as they take verses out of context to conveniently answer an unanswerable question? Furthermore,why would God say “it is good” as if He didn’t know the results before He made all that He had made? Why say,since He knows everything before it happens,why say “and He “SAW” that it was really good?” This brings up soooo many questions. I am a believer but today I’ve had enough and I am upset with God because He is too mysterious and should have made His book easier to understand. I am not meaning to curse God or do evil! I am simply upset because all I do every day is read my Bible read my Bible read my Bible and pray pray pray and study study study but it just brings more questions with ZERO answers. Yes,the Lord is Light and in Him is no darkness ,as this guy in the video quoted that verse! Lol but what He is doing is quoting a scripture that is not about physical light but rather good (light) and evil (darkness). I’m a Christian but this is deeply discouraging. Please don’t judge me but I’d like some answers because it doesn’t make sense...none of it
nicholas carter, u have stumbled onto the truth. i know basic astronomy n when it is compare to the genesis1, it is too obvious that the creation story is full of errors. god can create wrongly?? the earth was created on day1, no mention of the universe, heaven is the sky, the sun n moon are also in the sky [we will all burn up instantly] are a few critical errors. there are some more. i studied the bible when i was young. i m thankful that i did not become a christian. i m free as a bird. all thousands of gods are craps.

@@justme_4123 Ya,for sure
To be mad at God because you don't understand what he's saying is seen as pride to God and putting yourself as His equal and the Bible says God stands afar from the prideful. The Bible says pray for clarity, but with a prideful heart, God will not come near you... Just ask for forgiveness and change your heart and thoughts. Remember we are the servants to God, not the other way around and God does not care about personal feelings in the way that we do. Example: Even if you "feel" you really love Him and want to go to heaven to be with Him, that does not matter if you're not living by His Word and commandments. That's how we prove our love, not just a feeling. He just doesn't operate that way. In the Old Testament, when God sees willful sin, He just says it must be destroyed. That's why Jesus came as a mediator for us kinda like "hold up, God, have mercy on them for they know not what they do". You do have to repent for being angry with God.
⭐⭐⭐ Now to answer your question: ⭐⭐⭐
You just can't answer anything in the Bible in a quick simple way. It's way too heavy and too much. Firstly, God saying it is good simply means that it is in order. The earth was first without form and void. It was chaotic and empty, only water in the gas state. So gas= out of order/not ordered or formed. Oceans (liquid) = in God's order and complete. God left some of the water in the gas form to surround the earth. All of the land was created as one land mass (what you'd know as Pangaea). Pangaea= the Garden of Eden... The earth was created with water. Water brought forth the land. As far as darkness, something chaotic happened in heaven for the reason why earth was dark. Guess what? Satan disobeyed God and fell from heaven taking some angels with him. Why was there darkness here among the earth? Because this earth was not created for man. It was created as a prison, a place of judgement for Satan. Once God gave light to the earth, He created man and man's purpose on earth: to judge the fallen angels and people who follow them. Yes, God gave us command over demons until their final judgement with God. They are still here roaming the earth. They're trapped here by the firmament. Nothing and no one can leave this place and go outside the firmament. It's a prison. It's not imaginary. Satan and the fallen angels are actually here on earth. The people who control the world worship them to this day. They are also known in the Bible as gods. The term Greek Mythology is deceptive because it's not a myth. Those are the same gods/fallen angels regardless of what names are given to them in whatever culture, they're talking about the same beings. Think about it this way. Many of those gods are of the marine kingdom (research marine kingdom). That's why water is so spiritual in the Bible. Some of those gods are celestial. The Bible describes stars as angels. 1,000 years to us is only like a day to God because He's outside of time. Time is nothing to God.. it only took Him a day to create something no one can create in any infinite amount of time... that's why the earth isn't even as old as scientists say it is. It's not millions of years old. It's more like 14,000 years at the most. The people who control the world are satanic liars like the Bible says. It says people will lie about creation. These people literally worship Satan. The Creator always was. He's the only thing that doesn't have an origin. Something we'll never understand even if you went to heaven and asked Him. That's why it's humbling to even be in His presence. He's outside of time. He always was. Before He created anything, He was alone and content with Himself in eternity... He then created the Holy Spirit from Himself (as Eve was from Adam) in order to bring forth the Universe. That's why the Holy Spirit is described as a she/her in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is what resides here on earth and is the comforter and the one who put God's Word in man's hearts to bring God's Word unto the earth (The Holy Bible). It is the unforgivable sin to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Nothing and no one created God. He created the Holy Spirit and the son (Jesus). That's why He's God. You'll never understand Him fully even if you were blessed to be in His presence for eternity. This is why there's no point in being mad at His mysteries. It won't change anything. There's no point in being mad. We're not meant to know every mystery. I don't need to know everything, I'd be grateful to just make it in His kingdom even if I was to be a janitor in heaven lol.. Eternity is not even enough for us to learn all the things about God, and I'm pretty sure if you were in His presence, you wouldn't even dare to ask Him certain questions. I'm sure He'll tell us some things, but we're not meant to be all knowing like He is, and that's okay. To try to know literally everything is to try to be like God, which is a sin. But He is outside of time. We are trapped in time (on a timeline) for now. It's kinda like how we can watch a movie, fast forward it, and rewind it, stop it (in real time) because we're outside of it. That's kinda like how God sees everything. He can literally see all the way from the beginning, to now, and he can even see Satan and his followers' future demise... He knows it all because He created time. Yes we still have free will and we are choosing. It's like watching a toddler go to a stove. The toddler is choosing to go to it, but you just know he's about to try to touch the stove smh. That's how God sees us like His children. I'm sure He thinks our temper tantrums towards Him are silly like we would a toddler. He pressed the start button and will someday press the end button before we all enter into eternity (spiritual realm/dimension) where time is irrelevant.
Its because the alpha n omega wasn't the only alpha n omega... If God is light n in him no darkness he said let there be light to sperate light from darkness ....notice how the darkness was always around even before he said let thea be light .... it's time to get woke people
The text does not say the sun was created on day four.The text says( let there be lights’)The sun moon and stars are now distinct objects that can be seen from the surface of the earth
So, are you saying that God created himself? Why would God speak it into existence if he "the light" already exists?
In the whole universe there are mainly three kinds of light:
The natural light: the sun and the moon, created by God.
The artificial light: the man-made light, the light man makes to have some sort of light.
The spiritual light, God Himself as light, the genuine light and the source of all light
Remember always walk in the light of God!
John 14:6 King James Bible
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
You are not undestanding the passage correctly. The sun was NOT created on the fourth day, but at the beginning of creation in Gen. 1:1 when God created the heavens (the hebrew word for creating also means to fill, and therefore God filled the heavens and the earth as He created them). On the fourth day, what God did is make the luminaries visible, meaning that He caused the sun, the moon and the stars to give light upon the earth and hence to rule the day and the night. So, what 1:14-16 is saying is that God appointed the luminaries to rule the day and the night on earth (He made them rule the day and the night), not that He made them as material objects.
Gen 1:16 says God made two great lights; the greater light to tryle the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: hje made stars also. then 17 it says God set them in the firmament so it kinda does say got made them not just appointed them.
When I read your thing yoiu made me think he didn't say he created them on the fourth day
@@lostmagicdude888 In 1:16, God made two great lights to rule over the day and over the night, and he also made the stars for that purporse. So, the word make does not mean create, build or manufacture, but rather become functional; he made them to rule the day and the night, meaning that he made them for that function.
In relation to Gen. 1:17, note that the Hebrew word "vayiten" does not primarily mean to set but to give (vayiten otam be-rakia ha-shammayim...), and so literally this verse reads "and God gave (or is giving) them to the firmament of the heavens...", meaning that he is providing them in the firmament with the function of giving light to earth. Note that from our perspective the firmament is the atmosphere. So, the luminaries are not only figuratively set in the firmament, but their light is transferred (given) to the firmament so it may be filtered by the atmosphere and thus acquire a useful biological function before it is given to the earth.
So, to set the luminaries in the firmament does not mean that God physically placed them there, but that the light he is providing to us through them is first given to the firmament so it may be adequated to the biological needs of the earth, as the text literally says that God is giving the luminaries to the firmament so they may shine their light upon the earth, which is ultimately God's light, because in 1:3 God is providing the only light mentioned in the text, and so on the fourth day it is the light of God which is transferred (given) to the firmament, which, from our perspective, is the atmosphere. The light is then transferred to the earth after being filtered by the atmosphere to acquire its biological function, because without an atmosphere the light of the sun and stars would not have a useful biological function, as the cosmic rays from outer space would destroy all life, and so the atmosphere made on the second day only reaches its full biological function on the fourth day when it is able to filter the light of God before that light is finally transferred to the earth.
So, the idea is that the luminaries acquire their biological function as their light reaches and penetrates the atmosphere, transferring only God's life-giving light to the earth, as the atmosphere filters out the harmful light, such as cosmic rays, which of course ultimately also come from God.
Note also that neither the sun nor the moon are mentioned in Genesis 1, and so the luminaries may be considered to be more than just stars, as figuratively they may refer to future rulers or other important people, such as prophets and heroes, as the morning stars in Job, who bring or are supposed to bring to us God's light from a higher circle of authority (figuratively, a heaven). So, figuratively, this passage is saying that God provides the authorities who are to rule on earth, as he delegates authority to them for ruling on earth, but they are to rule for better or for worse according to how they filter and interpret the light that they ultimately receive from God.
So, on the fourth day, that God made the luminaries to rule the earth means that he delegated power to them (not that he created them), as they are the ones who are to rule on earth. To do that, ie to make the luminaries ready for ruling on earth, God gave them to (hence figuratively "set" them in) the firmament of heaven, meaning that the light of stars (and the light of rulers) is transferred to the atmosphere (or government), so the light may be given a useful biological function as it is filtered by the atmosphere before it reaches the earth.
@@vacaloca5575
Thank you sir!
One thing I notice is you leave out a semicolon which implies a pause and not having the pause implies a continuation of the logic which makes what you say make more sense but having the semicolon makes what you say seem less true.
with semicolon "God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night"
your version "God made two great lights to rule over the day and over the night"
see how these two read very differently? In the actual scripture with the semi colon space it makes it seem like he made the lights but in your example it could more easily be interpreted to seem like he just made the lights govern the day and night. With the semicolon it does seem like it is saying he made the lights not that he is telling the lights what to do
One thing I was wondering also is that in Genesis 1:11 "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind"
And plants cannot grow without the sun and you are saying the cosmic light is too powerful and harmful for biological life such as plants so in your interpretation on the fourth day the atmosphere was made to be able to transfer only the light which is life-giving but plants were able to grow on the third day so I was wondering how the plants grew under the harmful cosmic rays or how they grew with just light but no heat from the sun? One thing I am reading is that photosynthesis actually doesn't require heat and only requires light so maybe actually the sun's heat wasn't needed for the plants to grow. So many people are saying plants can't grow without the sun but maybe that's just not true and that would make this make a lot more sense to me.
the luminaries being possible angels or prophets or possibly rulers is interesting!!!!! true that the words sun and moon are never mentioned.
Thank you so much!!!! I have spent the last two days reading many youtube comments and reading articles trying to get different people's interpretations. Trying to make sense of how there are days on day 1-3 with the greater and lesser lights not being set to govern them
@@lostmagicdude888 There are no semicolons in the original Hebrew; so, the ones you see were just added there by translators and should have no bearing on the reading. Older translations like the KJV have a lot of semicolons, but newer ones don't because modern English does not use them in the same way.
Note that I did not say that the atmosphere was made on the fourth day, but only that it became fully functional in that day. In fact, I did say the atmosphere was made on the second day, since the firmament which God made on that day and then called heaven is the atmosphere. So, the plants growing on the third day would already be protected.
I believe the atmosphere becomes fully functional on the fourth day, not by becoming more protective, but when the luminaries begin to function as signals for biological growth ("And let them be for signs..."), allowing the animal life to proliferate on the following day. Note that about two centuries ago a russian researcher Alexander Gutwich discovered that the growth of fish eggs was controlled by light emissions coming from the DNA of the mother.

3. The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever (Psalm 29:10)
4. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters (Psalm 29:3)
5. When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures (Jeremiah 10:3)
6. Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind (Psalm 104:3)
7. And He made darkness pavilions round about Him dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies (2 Samuel 22:12)
8. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled; Thy way is in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps are not known (Psalm 77:16;19)
THESE TEXTS ABOVE IMPLY THAT GOD ALMIGHTY RESIDES OVER WATER THEREFORE THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVING OVER THE WATERS IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THE LORD’S OPERATIONAL PRESENCE, MIND, CHARACTER and VOICE ARE PERMANENTLY RESIDING OVER THE WATERS STARTING WITH THE SEA OF GLASS LIKE CRYSTAL IN REVELATION 4:6.
SIMILARLY: Psalms 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel; WE KNOW FROM THE SCRIPTURES THAT GOD’s PRESENCE IN OUR REALM IS DIVINE BY NATURE IMPLYING A PHYSICAL AS WELL AS SPIRITUAL PRESENCE.
Hence, if God was already surrounded by dark waters, it makes sense that in Genesis 1, one day one, He created light within the waters.
Second day, God created a firmament to separate the waters. By day 4, the sun, moon and stars were created AND set in the firmament.
Consequently, light already existed before the luminaries were created and they were created to govern or rule their territories where the sun rules the day and the moon governs the night.
That’s why we have daylight which is general light that appears even without the sun in sight. It does not generate heat nor cast a shadow.
Sunlight on the other hand is specific light with rays and generates intense heat whilst also casting shadows.
This was one of the strangest responses I've heard to date that honestly doesn't measure up.
How comes that a person is able to see clearly at dawn time without sun rise
I do have a question, what did God do the next week of "After" Creation
How does the sun stay burning according to the bible if there is no air in space?
God is, always was, and always will be, so is his light. He didn't need to make light on the first day. So some other light was made the first day by Him. You didn't think that threw. 🤔
Yup, God is light which means He was always light
If God was the light before the sun and God said, "Let there be light" did God turn himself on? Did his light not radiate out into the Void until he told it to? That seems contradictory to the immutability of God.

The Hebrew uses two different words in this 2 passages. The first, especially in the writing of Moses, carries a spiritual connotation of enlightenment, or the giving of truth. The second word refers to physical sources of light.

Christ came to baptize with the Spirit & 🔥 Fire. Fire is refining. So one truly baptized in this passes through the fires of the Holy Spirit's judgement on earth. Many professing Christians are not truly doing this. And for those who are not believers they will pass through the 'lake of fire' after their body dies. Our soul (mind will emotion) and body must 'die' - for all of us, and be raised in Christ. Immortal body and righteousness of Christ are the the reward.

Well, the body dies and is 'reborn' ONCE for all time, same for the inner man. Once we put off mortality and sin, there is no more work to be done. Only two deaths assigned to each person in Christiany.
Possibly we preexisted with God in heaven before our bodies took on flesh, but this wouldn't be common Christian theology.

It could possibly explain why some people have remembrance of life before this life, ålthough, it wouldn't have been an earthly life.

What about the night of that 1st to 3rd day of creation, since theres no darkness in God, does it mean the light that came from God has limimiteation in terms of scope of its light..
No, verse says God created light and not saying God is the light. Now the question is "That & where" is the light that God created before the sun?
God doesn't need the sun to create light God created the sun for plants.
let's shed some "light" on the subject. From God comes the light he created; light comes originally from God he is the source of all light that penetrates the darkness and helps us to see. The sun is not the source of all "light' God is the source and creator. The Lord is the light!
Yeah clearly notice how u have also admitted God has nothing to do with the darkness that was thea before he said let there be light so unless there have been two Gods the whole time one for light the other is darkness ...our God is the God of light the other God is for darkness i bet the God of darkness is the original God of sin n evil...why u ask.....well who made satan want to test God if God was the only alpha n omega then where was the competition coming from?
@@soloartique5401 God also created the darkness he created lucifer and he brought about his own demise. the darkness could simply be "black matter". I can't write everything in Genesis and the light is what we're talking about here.
the dark matter is apart of the heavens that he created science has observed light creating matter so this would be the reason God created light first.@@soloartique5401
My theory is, Light on 1st day was for spiritual heavens realm where angels and God's throne is. But the sun is for physical man since he needs day and night to operate well in his physical created environment.
The moon is not something you can physically land on, that's why no one ever truly landed on it...
so landing on it by Armstrong a studio set up is it?
It’s a plasma body…reflecting earth’s magnetic energy
These videos are so stress reliving. when you don’t need to understand/solve Maxwells equations regarding electromagnetic wave and just say God is light.
By creating light I understand that God created principals of the world’s physics. In which speed of light is essential to distinguish space from time.
As a fellow Christian, I don’t think this is the best answer to this question. So many more questions come to mind from your answer alone. Reading Genesis 1:3-5 as I type this so I’m trying to make sense of it as well at the moment. God bless!
Nothing he said makes sense at all. He's a young earth creationist which means he interprets those early passages as literal 24 hour days but how would he know this if by his own admission the Sun wasn't created until later? The sun is what we use to determine 24 hour periods on Earth.
@@leonardu6094 6 days is pretty straightforward, the religious community is just trying to find ways to rationalize their beliefs because they conflate with modern science. Simply put, this is false. Along with the majority of religious text.
@@Ruder6163 No, it's not "straightforward" at all and I just explained why. Contrary to your naive preconcieved notion, the early church fathers have debated the interpretation of Genesis long before the advent of modern science and evolutionary biology,. So, no. we're not "trying to find way to rationalize our beliefs with modern science".
@@leonardu6094 so why can't you be a young earth creationist and believe that they are not a literal 24 hour period. If it is interpreted as a "long period of time" that doesn't necessarily support the notion that evolution is real nor does it necessarily support the notion that it is equivalent to billions of years.
@@newcreationinchrist1423 “Young Earth Creationist” is traditionally defined as the belief that the Earth was created in six 24 hour days. If you want to redefine that to mean something else, you’re more than welcome. But that’s what people mean when they use that term.
Science has observed light creating matter could this be the reason God created light first before matter?
where I came from before birth, they had light in the sky without a sun, I prayed upon the sky right before my Trip to earth . they claimed God was considering a sun in the sky I prayed under I was shocked 😅
That light is Jesus.. The first born of creation.. born from God as a word... The light by whom God created everything.. The light is the source of the life for all creation.. and the light who is Jesus in flesh is The image of the invisible God... because No one can see God .. if you want to see God you see the light which is Jesus, who himself said if you see me you see the Father. God operates through The light. He did everything through The light. Like john said
[3] All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men. [5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
@@HiThere-qr4jz Yes Born into existence, Light was not there, until God spoke The word/The Voice which was created/appeared/ incarnated as the light. The first and the last. Notice The light is creation not The voice of God. The voice of God created light and light is everything. The Sound/Voice/Word is a divine entity. When he spoke in the waters Light appeared, which some people call it BigBang. But there is a scientific word for it and it's Sonoluminescence. Google it. And you will get the picture
@@HiThere-qr4jz you mean Jesus as a divine entity, of course He is not created. The voice of God cannot be created. I'm talking about The incarnation as the light and The flesh as human being. Read my second reply.
If I may encourage you to consider the language Genesis was written in. When we do that we see the following
In verse 14 we have that unusual construction again of "let there be." It is not a statement of creation, but a statement of appearance. At this point, the clouds present at the initial creation of the earth were completely removed so that the bodies themselves appeared for the first time on the surface of the earth. The passage tells us that the lights were allowed "to be" so that they could be signs of the seasons, days, and years. It was necessary for the creatures of day 5 that the heavenly bodies be visible. We know that many of the migratory birds (created on day 5) require visible stars to navigate, hence the need to actually see these bodies. Verse 18 gives us another hint. The lights were placed in the sky to "separate the light from the darkness." Does this sound familiar? It is the exact Hebrew phrase used for God's work on the first day when, "God separated the light from the darkness" (Genesis 1:4) By using this phrase, the text is recounting the formation of the Sun, moon and stars from the first day. If we accept that God created the Sun, moon and stars on the fourth day, then He didn't really create the heavens in verse one. So, the 24-hour day interpretation suffers a contradiction between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:16
So from the text and from the study of creation, we see that the sun, moon and stars were created in the beginning before day one in the text even started
It NEVER says the sun, moon, and stars were "created" on day 4. It says they were "made". Create is the hebrew word BARA, while made is the hebrew word ASAH. Asah also means "to appoint", and NEVER means "to create".
Because ASAH is most often translated as "made" in hebrew, consider this:
If you MADE your bed on day 4, does that mean that your bed was "created" on day 4? Of course not!
Had people actually read their scriptures, they would have known that Job 38 states that the stars existed on the very first day, lol. But these pastors DONT know the scriptures, and teach deceits. Due to ignorance.
So what is the light in the first day ?
Well said but still doesn’t answer the question.
What is the "light"? The Hebrew word in the verse is "ore". Genesis 1:5 says the "ore" (light) is "day".
God gave the answer. But many people want to force a different meaning/understanding upon the word, which is why the simple fact that the light was the DAY period of time.
The 'morning stars' are celestial beings, not physical stars. Job 38: 7 is a parallelism, a common motif in Hebrew poetry. The morning stars and the sons of God are referring to the same entities poetically in different ways.
Also I think you may be reading too much into the distinction between bara and asah in this passage. Genesis 1: 26 and 27 use them as synonyms for each other (make man vs created man). Similarly, created birds and fish vs made the beasts of the earth. Further, asah is used to refer to all the creative works of the whole creation week in Genesis 2:2 and 3. To belabor the point further, Genesis 2:4 uses created and made as direct synonyms again.
Or if you would prefer a passage outside Genesis, 'created' and 'made' are used as parts of a couplets several times in Isaiah as well. Notably in chapters 43 and 45 (Whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him, yes I have made him.) (I form the light and created darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.) So while bara and asah DO have different precise definitions, they're commonly used as synonyms for each other. ESPECIALLY when describing the creative labors of God.
I wouldn't be so quick to throw around accusations of ignorance, especially not on a secondary issue like whether the days of Genesis are literal 24 hour days or an instant or vast undefined aeons of time.
@@bennewby9600 theres just one problem with your BS explanation. The hebrew verse DOES NOT call them "morning stars".
It says:
Boqer kokawb
Which means, when english words are added, "at morning, the stars sang praises".
Just as the book of Enoch says, the sun moon and stars sing praises.
It literally says that tue stars sang praises, but that the sons of God shouted for joy. 2 completely different actions, taking place at the same time, by 2 completely different groups.
If god already is light why would he need to say "let there be light" ? Unless light in this case represents truth or goodness and the dark ignorance/evil. So maybe in this case seperating day from night refers to the creation of the opposing positive and negative forces of the world like good or bad or hot or cold and all that. And from that perspective you could even say light is consciousness, since without consciousness you cant differentiate between opposite forces. Only issue with this is the following paragraphs sound pretty literal with no metaphorical meaning that i could find. So either just the first paragraph is a metaphor which is possible, or or none of it is. I dont know tho just an idea. Thoughts?
Totally missing the point that the Bible says that there was air and dry land before there were stars. Seems silly now that we know what stars are and the process of formation.
Genesis 1:1 says that in the beginning (before the six creative days began starting at Genesis 1:3), God created the heavens and the earth. The physical heavens include the sun, moon and stars. Genesis 1:2 says that there was darkness on the surface of the earth. When God said "Let there be light”, diffused light from the already-created sun began to penetrate the earth's thick atmosphere to reach earth’s surface. Genesis 1:16 says that on the fourth day God "made" the sun, moon and stars, but that does not mean that God created them ex nihilo at that time. The word for "made" in this verse is not the same word as "create" used in Genesis 1:1. God "made" the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day in the sense that he placed them in the sky, causing them to become distinctly visible as light sources from the vantage point of the earth, perhaps due to a gradual thinning of the atmosphere. (Some say that the six days of creation were literal 24-hour days, but the word "day" in the Bible can refer to a long period of time.)
god didnt create the firmament to seperate the waters until day 2 when he created SKY, so there was absolutely no dark thick atmosphere blocking the sun as you claim LIAR.
I think the simple answer is that ancient peoples did not quite know where light came from to light up the sky.
On the fourth day you could see the source , the source itself was created on the first day . Its a translation to english where two words say light are the same but in hebrew the words are different.
After God made the sun He turned out the first light 🕯️ Enoch.😊
Isn't the Creation in Genesis in present tense?
Metaphors and mistranslations my man, you need to explain to people that they used one word to describe many things back then. What are the other meanings of the word they used for light and darkness? Let everyone try to figure for themself what was meant. Why do u get to hire someone to translate and decide thats the true translation.
God called light day and darkness night.
On the first day god created himself and seperated himself from the darkness.
So if God is light. Then why create the sun and moon? Unless he is was getting, ready to check out.
The Sun verse was past tense. Sun had been blotted out. Thats what killed the the dinosaurs and what not. Whatever blocked it was removed after He spake. He also said " replenish the Earth" which means something had been on Earth in the past, but was no longer.
This is actually a simple answer. Day 1, God creates the LIght. What is Light? It is time. That is why we have Day and Night which led to first day. Day 4 is never a creation of light. It is the creation of all the heavenly bodies like the sun, moon and stars. And light was given to them to luminous. Light is never created twice.
So God created himself on the first part of Genesis? And what is the significance of the darkness then, is that the devil?
Ah, but the real question is, how can there be evening and morning without the sun? The sun's setting and rising DEFINE those periods!
if it was as you are saying, so why God said " Let there be light" ?
Another doubt arose after watching this video. If yu say God is light why the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the earth (Genesis 1:2) there wouldn't be darkness before as God himself is light. My suggestion is when he created the light I.e day with the feature of giving brightness without sun. Ofcourse God is the Light of the world.
You said God is light? so god is a photon?
So did Jesus go back and forth between heaven for three days?
He himself was the light so he worked at his own pace then made the sun and moon to takeover so we know seasons and signs you're thinking on a 24hr format we don't know how long God was working here first 3 days but common sense would tell you he most likely ran a simulation using his own light the 1st 3 days so that he could program the sun and moon to follow it he's the creator
IF GOD IS THE LIGHT IN GENESIS 1:3-5, WHY SPEAK/CREATE LIGHT AND ACKNOWLEDGE ITS GOODNESS IF THAT LIGHT IS HIM AND HE IS ALREADY GOOD?
Light means time... From the modern physics we understand that light represents the time and it's a basics for creating the universe
He tried but failed to answer the question if we can bypass the Fact that the sun moon and stars was created on the 4th day 1 must question 1 self
God separated dark matter &dark energy
And he created light for entire galaxy.. In first day
how did u know?
have u checked with the science society? what did they say?
God said let there be light and there was light, and then he said, let there be two great lights, the greater to rule the day and the lesser to rule the night. It could very well be that he was the source of the initial light, prior to the creation of the sun and the moon. Revelation 21:23 and the city has no need of sun or the moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city IE the new Jerusalem, and the Lamb is it’s light. Eden was the old Jerusalem, The heathen doesn’t have a clue of who the eternal God of the ages really is, and what he’s capable of doing. Let us as Christians hold firmly the profession of our faith without wavering, amen.
I been thinking about this today and ive been digging and digging and i think ive figured it out I BELIEVE GOD IS LIGHT, GOD IS A BIG LIGHT IN SHAPE IN THE FORM OF A MAN, IN MOSES HE SAID HE HAD A BACK,HE HAD A HAND, HE HAS A HEAD BUT HE IS TOO BRIGHT TO SEE WITH THE EYE.. GOD IS LIGHT!!
It's not blasphemy if I say I believe God is light, that's how I feel, you may feel that God is a white man but I disagree with that..
Limiting God?? God is limitless, timeless,and eternal, no man on earth can get in the way of God's Plan.. enjoy your day mam
You have to believe in God for salvation
are you saying god could not see// does he need to
Hermanos seria buenísimo que hubiera un vídeo haci de Got Question en español.
Days and nights are only explained by the rotational movement of Earth in reference to the Sun.
You'd think that would be clear to everyone but some just are so stiff necked. Not sure you can have an evening and morning to a time period of 1000 years long. Or a million. But evolutionists find a way!
Exactly. There is no morning or evening without the sun!
Jesus is the light being created on the first day as the first born of all of creation. In the beginning was the word(light) and the word was light.
WAS GOD LOOKING DOWN TO EARTH FROM THE SKY
Because dark and light is always upon Earth
ONE HALF MORNING WHILE
OTHER HALF IS EVENING
Revelations 21:23 ☝🏻🙏
You don’t need to count a circuit. To establish light that shines in
My friend, you honestly have no clue. Let us meet on Zoom, invite all the people you are misleading, and let me reveal the truth to them. I almost answered you. But then you will be too scared to face me on Zoom.
The Lord God, Jesua and the Holy Spirit is LIGHT
Not a physical light but a symbolic light.
So what you are saying then is that god separated himself from himself called part of himself light and the other part of himself darkness?
Like water, the source of water is water...
