Bible Note: Hello Emmaus, "...time itself is measured by it [light]." Rather than saying that time is measure by light, would it not be more correct to say that time is measure by the luminaries? Gen 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and FOR SEASONS AND FOR DAYS AND YEARS; [my caps] Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. Gen 1:16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. Gen 1:17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, It is interesting to note that light (Gen 1:3) was created before the luminaries. Peace, |
