#2. Genesis 1:3,4, & 5 "the LIGHT" is wisdom.
Foundation Scripture: Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Teaching Scriptures: Genesis 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Supportive Scripture: John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
There are many theories and explanation as to what, or who the “LIGHT” is in Genesis chapter 1. lets see what the bible say, and then we can lay aside all these different theories and explanation aside and
know the truth. so what or who is the LIGHT? the bible tells us of two lights in Genesis chapter 1, and one is identified as a “Who”, and the other is identified as a “what”.
THE FIRST DAY
Genesis 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."Genesis 1:4 "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
NOW THE FOURTH DAY,
Genesis 1:14 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"Genesis 1:15 "And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so."Genesis 1:16 "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."Genesis 1:17 "And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,"Genesis 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."Genesis 1:19 "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
there is a couple of distinction between what happen on day 1 at the beginning, and on day 4.
#1. God divided the light from the darkness in verse 4, on the first day. but in verse 14 it is the sun and the earth that divide the day from the night. we have two division of light/day, and darkness/night. if it was good, why divide the same thing again? and three, in verse 4, it's, "LIGHT", a single designation, whereas in verse 14 it's plural. and one more distinction, the Light in Day one is feminine and a Noun, as compared to the Light on day 4 is a verb. Here's the revelation,
the definition of Light in verse 4, is H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore)
n-f.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning,
happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
Notice that word "
happiness" in the definition #2, why put happiness in this definition of Light? I'll be coming back to it.
the definition of “Light” in verse 14,
the shinning light, not the object that is the source of the light, but the shining light itself is,
H215 אוֹר 'owr (ore) v.
1. to be luminous.
2. (causative) to make luminous.
{literally and metaphorically}
[a primitive root]
KJV: X break of day, glorious, kindle, (be, en-, give, show) light (-en, -ened), set on fire,
shine.
Notice how the kjv can translate this light, "
shine" keep this in mind. lets compare the two Lights,
the LIGHT in verse 4 & 5 is
H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore) n-f.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning,
happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
Root(s): H215
Look at the first definition of each,
1. to be luminous.
1. illumination. see the difference. also NOTICE, in H215 אוֹר 'owr (ore) v. the KJV can translate this LIGHT, "Shine" which in found in verse 14. but the Light in verse 4 & 5 is not or is not translate so, or can be translated as "shine". so the conclusion, the Light in verses 4 & 5 is not the same in verse 14, the scriptures makes that crystal Clear.
remember, I said keep definition H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore)
n-f. in your mind, about "
happiness", lets look at it.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning,
happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
notice #2. in the second definition, "
happiness", now scripture, Proverbs 8:22 "The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old." Proverbs 8:23 "I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was."Proverbs 8:24 "When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water." Proverbs 8:25 "Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:" Proverbs 8:26 "While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world." Proverbs 8:27 "When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:" Proverbs 8:28 "When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:" Proverbs 8:29 "When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:" Proverbs 8:30 "Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his
delight,
rejoicing always before him;" Proverbs 8:31 "
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men."
that word "delight" guess what it means? that's right "
Happiness" the same happiness found in definition H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore)
n-f.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning,
happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
the Light here is 1. illumination. or enlighten. Ephesians 1:18 "
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints," so illumination is to GIVE knowledge and UNDERSTANDING, which is "WISDOM", and the Lord Jesus is that WISDOM as Proverbs 8 above states.
one more, in Proverbs 8:31 "Rejoicing", another word for it..... that's right "
happiness" so all understanding point to "WISDOM, wisdom is what open our eyes of understanding ... with KNOWLEDGE, true KNOWLEDGE. this is where EVE was deceived, KNOWLEDGE without Wisdom of God.
so without a doubt, the LIGHT in verses 4 and 5 is not natural sunlight, or physical natural, but the LIGHT in verses 4 & 5 is WISDOM, the Light of the world. and here God is saying understand what I'm doing in CREATION.
John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
Romans 1:22 "Professing themselves to be
wise, they became fools,"
