In trying to explain creation, we often look to much towards the physical things and forget to apply the spiritual nature of God. Where did the first light come from?
And since were speaking of light. Here's something I just got finished writting about: Why God created light twice. This pretty much explains why science misses the mark when it comes to understanding God.
Here are the two verses in question.
First light:
Ge 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Second light:
Ge 1:16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
Why did God create light twice? First we have to understand that God is light.
1 john 1:5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
So the first light created came from God because God had not created any object that produce light yet. Now since God has no darkness in Him, as stated in 1 John 1:5. The light produced made no shadows and shined everywhere in an instance. This is so because the light was also coming from an eternal being. The light being eternal means time and distance have no hold upon it and this light would not be subjected to a constant light speed, as we know of it today. So the time and distance to the furtherest star would not apply because it all came from an eternal being. And the light that shined from this eternal being shined to the ends of the universe the instant it was created.
Why did God devide the light? Because the first light makes no shadows (as stated in 1 John 1:5), it had to be devided.
But what about the second light?
Read these verses first:
Ge 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
Ge 1:15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Ge 1:16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
Ge 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
Ge 1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
You will notice in all these verses, that the physical objects that produce light, God never says that He devides the light. He allows the light to be devided by the object that produces the natural light. This is why today all light that we see has shadows. This light also is not eternal like the first light was.
So what does this answer?
1) How light can travel billions of light years, but the earth still be less than 10,000 years old. Because it was eternal light from an eternal being.
2) Why light was created twice. To seperate the differences between what is eternal, and what is not.
3) Why the first light had to be devided. Because spiritual light has no darkness to it, as explained in 1 John 1:5.
4) Where the first light came from. God. There was no other object created that could do this.
5) Why the second light was not devided. Because it was not eternal like the first. It casts it's own shadows, so it has darkness already. So it makes day and night just by being there.
But here's where it goes more indepth about the spiritual side of the first light division. In the spiritual realm, light stands for good, darkness stands for evil. So for God to make darkness, in His spiritual light without what goes into darkness (evil), would deny the truthfulness of the verse that says God has no darkness. So who do you think the darkness was made for? Satan, and 1/3 of the angels that were cast out with him.
And because this puts satan on this earth in time to tempt eve, it all fits.
Here's a verse that confirms what light and darkness mean in the spiritual realm: Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Also, the first light being eternal fulfills God saying that He is the alpha and omega. Alpha = First light, or beginning light, Omega = Light Being eternal and shining to the ends of everything.
