God in His wisdom placed one
huge bulb to give the earth Light; a very bright light. A light that enables
the inhabitants of the earth to see very clearly, as they go about their day to
day activities. It is a bulb that needs no replacing; as it does not break or
burn off unexpectedly like the regular bulbs we have here on earth. It is a
bulb that is switched on and switched off by The LORD Himself; at specific
Times.
So with just One Bulb (The sun) God gave the inhabitants of the earth (particularly mankind) a light to shine forth and to clear and show the way for mankind in daytime (during the day). But God in His wisdom put a time for switching off the Bulb, to enable mankind to rest (sleep; for renewal, repair & restoration of the body, the soul, the spirit, the mind and the heart); for the body of mankind was programmed by God to rest for about 8 hours (1/3 of the day) and to be awake for approximately 16 hours (2/3 of the day). But even at night time, God in His wisdom put in place another Bulb (a dimmer Bulb/the moon) to give the inhabitants of the earth (particularly mankind) some light to help them move around before they eventually rest (sleep). This refers to a typical rural setting, but still relevant even in town and city settings, with the modernity that goes with it (them).
When mankind is deep asleep, he/she is actually half dead, half alive; a state of not knowing what’s going on and what’s not going on. The only Person keeping man alive in such a state is The Spirit of God. Mankind completely gets “lost” in a state of helplessness as he/she falls in a deep sleep; everyday of their life. One falls into a state of physical comatose; a form of physical coma---with senses half dead, half awake.

Therefore, the One and Only
Person that mankind needs to put his/her Trust and Hope in is The Spirit-giving
God, The Light-giving God. For He by design created man in His own image, and
placed mankind upon the earth, gave him/her Life, Light, Hope and a Future. A
future of Eternal Life. His name is YAHWEH The Great I AM. The LORD of Hosts.
The Creater of Heaven and earth. JEHOVAH ELOHIM. JEHOVAH ADONAI.
He thus gave mankind a Light
that gives Eternal Life, that whoever believes in this Light and Repent for the
forgiveness of their sins (the deeds of darkness) through this Light, then this
Light will chase away all the darkness in their hearts and in their life, that
now they may become sons and daughters of The Light, as they dwell in this
Light and pursue a lifestyle of Righteousness, Holiness and Wisdom of The LORD.
This Light is The Saviour/The Messiah Jesus Christ. The KING of Kings. The LORD
of Lords.
At the very beginning (in the
beginning), there was darkness that covered the earth, The LORD then brought
Light upon the earth. Having seen that The Light was good, The LORD Separated
(divided) The Light from darkness. This particular Light was a reflection of
The Ultimate Light that The LORD eventually brought to The earth, to separate
(and divide/save) mankind from darkness (epitomized by sin, wickedness and
evil). Thus Christ Jesus (The Light of The world) was sent by Heavenly Father
to come and save (separate) mankind from darkness.
SHALOM!!!
Genesis
1: 1-5 ‘“In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form,
and void; and darkness was on
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the
waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw
the light, that it was good;
and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the
darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.”’
John
1: 1-5 ‘“In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was
in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him
nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of
men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend
it.”’
John
1: 10-13 ‘“He
was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not
know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who
believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.”’
