It is but a reflection--not its own--but one projected as if its own--falsely. "
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face" (
1 Corinthians 13:12a).
That verse has nothing to do with the moon's light source.
What then, is the source of the light of the Moon? Or perhaps I should ask, What is the Source of the light of the Moon?
The moon has its own light:
Isa. 13:10
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Isa. 30:26
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Isa. 60:19-20
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Jer. 31:35
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day,
and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts
is his name:
Mat. 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mar. 13:24
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Eze. 32:7
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
Rev. 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
is the light thereof.
The Hebrews understood that there were planets.
That's a faulty premise. Again, the single appearance of the word "planets" in scripture is not equivalent to today's use of the word.
