"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."
Both lights are qualified as 'great'. The meaning the Spirit has given to this adjective elsewhere is consistent. The great river, the river Euphrates in Gen.15.18 is repeated in Rev.9.14. In the latter it is clearly stated: the four angels indicated is in keeping with the word of God that'the judgment was set; and the books were opened.(Dan.7.10). God set them up as signs and it comes under the day Four which also indicates these two lights are set up to judge the world on the basis of the divine Will. "and God divided the light from the darkness."(Gen.1.4)
These two 'great lights signify the Father of lights and the true Light. Consequently Father Son relationship is established here. 'The lesser light to rule the night' is an indication that the Son of man shall die and shall be in the lower parts for three days and three night. The reason days and nights are mentioned is evident.. "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."(Mt.12.40) So what is the significance of Jonah? He is the double for the Son of man; so is Ezekiel. The Day Four establishes the principle,'in our likeness.' Four is the command number for the word of God. Four corners of the golden altar, four angels are similarly set down in the narrative.
The same motif we see in the vision of Ezekiel where wheel within the wheel represent the Father Son relationship. The life was within the wheel.. St John refers to it," In him was life; and the life was the light of men./And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."(Jn.1.4-5).
These lights are great because they serve as warning to the world. What do these two lights taken together signify? The light of the Lamb.
The two great lights one to rule the day and the other to rule the night .
Primarily if not exclusively refers to Christ who is the Sun and the church which is the moon but which has no light if it's own but bares witness to the fact that even in the darkest night when it is still shining ,that not only is the Sun still shining but that there is coming a perfect day .
She rules the night by her relationship with the sun seated with it in heavenly places . For when the Lord walked this earth He was the light of the world but since He left the church is to be that light as every true BORN child of God is a child of Light .
Thus the church is meant to rule over the darkness . You cannot overcome darkness with darkness nor indeed overcome another's 'truth' but with a version of your own 'truth'. But have only power and authority over " all the works of the enemy " y being in submission to the Sun .
A man may see the truth and hear the truth. He can meditate on the truth . He can know the truth ,the truth can be in him ,he can speak the truth walk in the truth and can do the truth but no ,an save the Lord even with all that say 'I am the truth'.. He can be but a witness of the truth as the moon is of the sun.
