“3 ¶ Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis 1:3-5 NKJV)

     This verse reveals the great mystery of Creation and the Creator. In this passage God “said” “Let there be light”; and there was light. This Light would form each day by darkness and Light and thus day and night were formed. The darkness came first in the first day and then Light became day.

     The Jewish day begins as darkness comes and lasts until darkness comes again. Their day is from dusk to dusk soCreation forms the Jewish view of day even now.

     But we are left with a question about “So the evening and the morning were the first day.” How could there be Light before the sun, moon and stars were formed? What is the source of this light? What is the source of the darkness?
