The Light

If the first light God created in Genesis 1:3 was not the sun, moon, and stars, that was later created in Genesis 1:16 then what was that light?

Obviously any and all answers to this question would fall under the speculation category because how could anyone possibly ever know, but it is fun to wonder

Here is my wondering

Verse 1 is not a timeline but a declaration that God as in one God created the heavens and the earth, contrary to other false creation myths at the time of moses like the many baals of Canaan and babylon/babel

Verse 2 states that earth has become in a state of chaos because something has gotten out of control and caused the earth to run rampant toward self destruction just as venus and mars did at some point in history. Call it whatever you want evil, darkness, satan, sin it’s all the same thing, the opposite of light, order and perfection that God designed and intended.

So God hovers Over the face of the chaos and with his word and breath he takes back control of the water that has destroyed everything and only after he has taken back control of the chaos does he illuminate the earth with the very first

“LET THERE BE LIGHT”

Apart from the obvious spiritual representation that this first light is Jesus because he is the light and the word.

This first light would be in my opinion a uv to blueish light because it makes sense for growing purposes to have a white to infrared sun and a seperate blue to uv sun, and a moon that reflects them both

This also allows for the golden 3 number that is always symbolic of the trinity as well as the symbolism of the first light of God the second light of the Son and us made in his image like the moon that are meant to always reflect their light.

I believe that this first light is referenced in. Zechariah 14:7. It shall be one day which is known to the Lord— Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen That it will be light.

Isn’t that what you think of when you look at a uv light its Neither bright or dark but both

So what happened to the first light then? Well actually Isaiah and Peter give us some clues I believe

2 Peter 3:8

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

It makes sense to me that this first light after Adam and Eve ate of the fruit was withdrawn from our local solar system in order to make the day that God told Adam and Eve they would surely die in when they ate the fruit, delayed as in 1000 years delayed because adam lived to be 930 years old

So exactly how was this light withdrawn?

Isaiah 45:12

I have made the earth, And created man on it. I—My hands—stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.

He literally stretched out the heavens which would make this first light that used to be a sun to us now appear as only a star.

This even makes other aspects of space make sense such as our closest star alpha centauri even when viewed from the hubble telescope only appears as an undefined blob. Because the light just now reaching us is from when it was being stretched outwards. If at any point it was sitting still it would be sharp and in focus.

It also to me partially explains why the universe appears to have exploded and is continually stretching outwards in what appears to be over billions of years of time.

It’s interesting to think that when God said my spirit shall not always strive with man yet his days shall be 120 years it could have had 3 meanings

1.

The earth would be flooded in 120 years after he said it

2.

man would begin to not live more then 120 years

3.

A jubilee year is 50 years, 50 times 120 is 6000

In other words Man shall live for 6 days of time from first light and then the Son will return to rest with him for the seventh day. Or for 1000 years

Just my thoughts
