The Armour of Light

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
(Romans 13:12) KJV

If you don’t understand SciPop well enough to know that it’s not a threat to the truth of the Bible, and try to live a Christian life without the truth of the Bible, then you have no armor of light.

A Space Between: בֵּ֥ין – bayin

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

In pondering the physics of creation we have come to understand that the earth is part of the ongoing process of the permanent physical separation of light from darkness. The process is not complete. Yet.

Truth is Light, Darkness is Evil

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:2) ESV

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
(Matthew 27:45) ESV

We make a connection between the darkness in Genesis 1:2 and the darkness that fell upon the world while Jesus hung on the cross. This is the sacrifice which had to be made to pay the price of our redemption, the propitiation.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 4:6) ESV

We’re discussing the very beginning of creation, Genesis 1:1-2, and we have an intriguing question: if God is light, in whom is no darkness at all, then why was there darkness upon the face of the deep?

Light vs. Darkness; Good vs. Evil

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
(Job 30:26) KJV

Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross and the darkness immediately after it picture creation in the moments BEFORE God said “let light be,” BEFORE nucleosynthesis, the fabled “Big Bang.”

What was the Darkness?

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
(Isaiah 45:7) KJV

The darkness that existed in the beginning (Genesis 1:1) was the absence of light. The darkness at the evening of the first day was the obstruction of light, shadow as opposed to void. This is why it had to have a new name: night.
