"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."(v.16)
God willed 'that in him should all fulness dwell'. This being the case the greater light and the lesser light are not about the sun and the moon in their natural context, but signifying the Father-Son relationship. " All things were created by him, and for him."(Col.1:15-19) In him was life and the day and night mentioned in the verse is with regards to the life forms, to which we shall come anon. Wellbeing of nocturnal or diurnal creatures belong to the Son. "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein./For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods."(Ps.24:1-2) Full significance of the Psalm quote we shall examine when we consider the fifth day.(vv.20-23)
The sun the moon and the stars serve double function as signs and as token of theodicy. (Re.21:25b) His throne is an emblem,"The Lord has established His throne in heaven,/And His kingdom rules over all." (Ps.103:19-NKJV). The evening and the morning were the fourth day and sequence His sovereignty leads us to the end times where the throne of God and of the Lamb (Re.22:1)present the same emblem of the greater light and the lesser light. The Spirit repeats in v.15 and v.17 the expression
"to give light upon the earth" which out to give us an indication that Bible is organized from both the standpoint of the Father and of the Son. There are only two worlds framed by the word of God which can only be understood by faith. The same faith that establishes the Father Son relationship. 'I come to do thy will' presents the will of the Father on one part and fulfilment on the other. There is no other. Faith is one.
