Bible Note: An assumption I had is challenged by this passage (v. 14-16). I had assumed that the light God created on the first day, he put or formed into the sun, moon and stars on the forth day, like He formed the body of Adam from the dust from the ground. He took something to make something else. But that's not what the text says. Just as the light on the first day was an instantaneous creation from nothing by the word of His mouth, so, it seems, was the creation of sun, moon and stars. "Then God said... and it was so."(v. 14,15) |
