On the first day of God’s creation of the entire universe, the world is nothing but complete darkness. So on His command, He created light. Then, He separated the light from darkness so that the light will be referred as “Day” and the darkness as the “Night”.
If you want to get a view of what’s total darkness look like, just go to a dark room and then close your eyes. That is complete total darkness where you won’t be able to see even a tiny small shiny spot.
The complete Scripture from the Holy Bible can be read at 1st Genesis verses 1 to 5.
With darkness, there is no beauty which is connected to creation that can be seen around the reason why God commanded for the light to appear.
The question here is that, can light co-exist with darkness?
The answer is “no”. So when God created light, it overlapped darkness where everything were clearly visible. Perhaps this was the reason why God was pleased by what he saw as mentioned on 1 Genesis verse 4.
Since darkness was completely replaced by light, God thought of giving it a place so He decided to separate the light from darkness. And, this was the end of the first day of God’s creation of the universe.
Based on my understanding, God must had placed the light on the west side of the universe while the darkness remains on the east side. They were constantly on that position. So if you are going to travel to the west, then you are at the “Day Side” while “Night Side” on the opposite.
A conflicting verses about God’s first creation about the light is at 1st Genesis verses 14 to 19. These verses describes how God created the sun, moon and, stars that gives light down to earth.
My understanding to these verses is that, God made some necessary adjustments and improvements. Originally, the light He first created had no source or sources. It was just completely light that shines out from nowhere. So on 1 Genesis verse 14, God placed this light at a better position which is on the sky.
He did it in a manner as describe on 1 Genesis verse 16, God created the sources of lights which are the sun that gives light during the day and the moon and stars at night.
As you are going to continue reading 1 Genesis verse 17 to 18, God positioned all the light sources he made up into the sky which brings light down to earth. They are the rulers of the day and night where they have a very important function of “separating light from darkness”.
Conclusion
God’s creation of the light and separating it from darkness isn’t just for us to see the world with our eyes. It also has an important role to “time” which allows us to know the number of days, years and when to celebrate special events particularly, religious festivals.
