"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
The Word by naming light gives it a body so light is defined as the absence of darkness. It is in the sense God tells Job of causing the dayspring to know his place"And from the wicked their light is withholden."( Job 38.12-15) God weighed the waters by measure by his word so believing Jesus showed they were children of light. "As he spake these words, many believed on him./ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;/And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."( Jn 8.30-32) By the same token light is withheld from those who refuse to obey the word of God. " Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word." and " He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."(8.43. 47) The wicked refuse to be corrected so darkness covered the deep meaning they were sons of perdition.
"And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness./And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night"(vv.4-5) God sanctifies light so the decree is enlarging the worlds made to appear in the image, so the earth is acquiring a form. No longer shall it be void but inheritance of the children in light makes the sanctified ones as witnesses before darkness. It is what St Paul refers where we have the world of the Spirit and of the body. We are surrounded by cloud of witnesses, "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."(Phili.2.15)
The Word sanctifies the decree so this day becomes holy and capitalised as Day, leading day of the Lord and day of the Lamb. On this selfsame decree we have the day of regeneration. Day in short consist of Jesus Christ.
