Physical Separation

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(Genesis 1:1) KJV

God intends to bring about a permanent physical separation of light from darkness. Light weight and light bearing are synonyms, like dark and heavy are. In general heavier, denser materials are darker.

Spiritual Separation

Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”
(2 Corinthians 6:17) NKJV

Separation is a scriptural doctrine which is generally thought of in terms of Christians holding themselves apart from the rest of the world and avoiding worldly distraction which can lead us into sin. There’s more to it than that.

Separation of Heart and Mind

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
(Jeremiah 17:9) KJV

One aspect of the soul is the heart which is, among other things, our drive and motivation. Another aspect of the soul is the mind which is our ability to reason. Physically the heart is a pump that drives blood, the mind is a brain.

To discern: בִּין – bin

and said God Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters – let it divide a space between the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:6) Interlinear

The Hebrew words bayin – בֵּין and bin – בִּין are very nearly the same word. They’re part of the meaning of a root which means: to understand nuance, to separate between.

A space between: בֵּ֥ין – bayin

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:6) KJV

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
(Genesis 1:4) KJV

Dividing the water above the firmament from the water below below it required physical space. Likewise, dividing the light from the darkness isn’t the alternation of day and night, it’s also the their separation by a physical space.

Separation

And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
(Genesis 1:4) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have come to understand that the Earth is part of an ongoing process of permanent, physical separation of light from darkness. The process isn’t complete. Yet.
