God Created Light Twice Explained

If you have read God’s creation of the world in the Book of Genesis then you may have noticed that God had created “light” twice. He created the first light on the first day of His creation then He created the other on the fourth day.

Genesis 1:1-5.


Clearly stated here in Genesis 1:1-5, God had already created light during the very first day of His creation. God had even named this light as the “Day” while the darkness as the “Night”.

Let’s also read Genesis 1:14-19 which described God’s second creation of light.


So for the second time, God had created light on the fourth day. However, the written Scripture has provided a detailed information about these forms of lights where they have sources. They are actually being generated by the sun, moon, and the stars. On the other hand, the light that God created during the first day had an unknown source which we are about to explain.

You have to know that the light that God had created during the first day of His creation declares His presence as the Creator of the entire world. This is because, “God is Light” which we can read on 1 John 1:5.


This Scripture explains the main reason why the light that God created during the first day and brought light to the world for three days does not have any sun, moon, and stars. Just like what the Scriptures’ description about God in 1 John 1:5, God is light where His light brought brightness to the world for the first three days of His creation.

We can read another Scripture in the Book of Revelation 22:5 about God’s light.


This yet to be fulfilled Prophecy from the Book of Revelation has revealed that God will soon bring light into this world where other sources of lights such as the sun are no longer needed.

But when talking about light in the Holy Bible, the most important Scripture pertaining about light is the one written on John 8:12.

In this generation of ours, Lord Jesus Christ is our only Saviour who can guide us towards the “light from God” which is the only way for us to gain eternal life. But for those who don’t then they will unfortunately get lost and doomed in the outer darkness. We can read about this in the Book of Matthew 8:12.
