AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. |
Subject: Light before light sources |
Bible Note: Hi Lionstrong, It is also interesting, I think, to compare Genesis 16,17 where it talks of the light sources with John 9:5. "(God) placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night..."--"While I am in the world, I am the (Light) of the world." Jn 8:12 is a good contrast, "Then Jesus again spoke to them saying, "I am the (Light) of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life." If you are of a mind to add some capitalization you can also compare John 11:9, "Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the (Light) of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the Light is not in him." Who is this Son of Man? John 12:35, "So (Jesus) said to them, "For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." John 12:44, "And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees the (One) who sent Me. I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness." John 3:19, "This is the judgement, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the (Light), and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." I have just written scriptures, but I would invite you to compare the pronouns in parenthesis with each of the passages. Later, Ray |
