Part 3: THE LOVING LIGHT NATURE
OF YAHWEH VERSUS THE DARK,
HATEFUL NATURE OF LUCIFER
In my last article entitled “The Battle Of Light Over Darkness, Or How God Aims To Restore The Original Order of Creation”, which is Part 1 of this 3-Part Study that I've dubbed "The Physics of Salvation", I delved deeply into the underlying symbolic meanings of Light and Darkness as I explored their spiritual attributes. In this article, I am going to examine the spiritual meaning behind the mornings of Light and evenings of Darkness that made up each Day of Creation, and I will expand this study from there.
On the evening of January 6th, 2018, as I was praying for insights as I was studying the Word of God, I found myself experiencing true intimacy with God’s Spirit, and He was asking me questions in an effort to expand my understanding of what I was reading. In this way, God was helping me to understand more about His nature. The first question He asked me to consider was, if God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all as the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 1:5, then why did God have to create Light? This is when a new revelation of God's nature came to me as a flash of insight, and this was the realization that Light was the first visible thing God manifested out of the primordial chaos because it is the truest expression of His inner nature that we can’t visibly see!
So it suddenly made sense that - in His Wisdom on that very first Creation Day - God the Father and His Spirit would create Light and Dark, and Day and Night. As God hovered over primordial waters and gases that were swirling about haphazardly in absolute darkness, He creatively contemplated what to do with all of it FIRST! And of all the things that God could have created after that long, in depth contemplation, He created Light so that He could illuminate what He was creating for the heavenly angelic hosts that He had already created before then (See Job 38:7, where the holy, righteous angels are referred to as morning stars and sons of God, Also see the Important Note at the end of this article!). In this way, the angels would be able to SEE what God was creating at the moment that it came into being! As it says in Genesis 1, verse 3: “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” Then it goes on to say:
“And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.” ~ Genesis 1:4-5
 |
| God Divided the Light from the Darkness - Genesis 1:4-5 |
The next thing I considered was why each Creation “Day” was described as a morning followed by an evening, and why seeds and seed bearing plants were created on the third Creation Day - even though there were no suns, moons, planets, stars, solar systems or galaxies revolving in space for the first two Creation Days, and there was therefore no heat and light from any Sun to get the plants to grow. This is made clear in the Creation narrative by the fact that the stars - including our Sun - were not explicitly created until the Fourth Creation Day:
Genesis 1:14-19 ~ “Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then 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. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”
Since such was the case on Creation Day 4, there were no suns to cast light on the heavily mineralized soils suitable for plants to grow in on Creation Day 3! So God Himself must have been visibly shedding the light and warmth on the ground of the newly formed Earth to cause the plants to grow. In this way, it was as if God’s Spirit was acting like the womb does as a fetus grows inside it, supplying it with all it needs to live and grow! So God the Father’s Spirit was filling the role of our Heavenly Mother too.
As I explained in my last article, the New Heaven and New Earth will be like this in that God is going to replace the light of the Sun, and everything He creates within the New Heaven and New Earth are going to be bathed in light, and will even be emitting their own light. So there will never be any time when it is “dark” or “night” or “cold” there. Instead, we will exist in a radiant universe filled with healing warmth and beautiful rainbow lights that are expressions of our Triune God’s love for us - and this will be so everywhere and forever!
Though the preceding revelations that I received from God on the nature of His Light were astounding, what happened next in this spiritual knowledge progression is what truly amazed me, and it is something that is not clearly understood by the majority of people. This is the amazing revelation that the evening and the morning of each Great Day of God’s Creation Week describes the two step process of creating, where God’s actions followed AFTER His deep contemplation of them beforehand!
In other words, during the first part of each Creation Day, which was the evening or time of apparent darkness during that Day, God was inactive and in a state of deep contemplation over what He was going to create next! Instead of actively making things, He was drawing up secret plans, and figuring out how everything He was going to create next would seamlessly and perfectly fit together with what He had already created.
So God was not actively creating anything for the first “dark” or evening part of each Creation Day, but carefully analyzing what He was going to create next, and what purpose it would serve to inspire growth on each level of consciousness experienced by the sentient living things that He was going to create to marvel over what He had created! Isn’t that amazingly logical? I certainly think so! A New Testament Scripture that refers to Yahshua's ability to reveal hidden secrets to those that love Him clearly relays this two step Contemplation before Creation process:
Matthew 10:24-27 ~ “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.”
So then, in the preceding Scripture, Yahshua is alluding to the fact that specifically chosen believers are called to be watchmen and prophets and hear things from God in secret that need to be shared aloud in public. This is so the hidden events of the future will be brought to light at the proper time. It is also referring to the idea that there is contemplation of an idea before the idea is applied and manifested in reality. This therefore ties in beautifully with this bright new spiritual revelation I received, which is that God carefully thinks everything through before He acts.
This idea that what is hidden to us needs to be understood before we can see how it applies in reality reminded me of the musings of the righteous man called Job in the Bible, whose complaints to and attempts at understanding God caused God to gently reprimand Job. This reprimand by God is recorded in Job, Chapters 38 through 41, and it caused Job to respond in a righteous manner. At that time, Job became aware of his great ignorance in comparison to God, and this caused him to humbly submit himself to God and fully repent so that God would forgive Him. Here are a few passages from the Book of Job, Chapter 38 that convey God’s questioning and implied displeasure with Job’s irreverent attitude:

Here are a few passages from the Book of Job, Chapter 38 that convey God’s questioning and implied displeasure with Job’s irreverent attitude:
~*~ Job 38:4-11; 31-33 ~*~
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7 When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
9 When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10 When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
11 When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!’”…
31 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
32 Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season?
Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?”
Through this poetic lesson concerning God’s unfathomable knowledge, power, greatness and Glory in comparison to us that God directly delivered to Job, we are being told that we should never truly question God’s pure and good motives, or think that we are equal to Him in any way. This is because we are not anything like God in knowledge and power, and we never will be! Although someday we will have a direct line to God the Father’s infinite Mind, and we will be able to explore and marvel over all that He knows and has done, we are finite in nature. Therefore, we will never be able to comprehend just how great and powerful our Triune God is.
This is where our reverence for our Creator God, and our desire to worship and Glorify Him comes from - the realization that God’s infinite power and Glory, as well as His innate goodness and holiness - are currently beyond our comprehension, and even after we are resurrected and glorified, we will not truly be equal with God, His Son or His Spirit! But we WILL have a perfect ability to understand that all that God is and does is for the benefit and everlasting happiness of those who call Him “Abba” or “Father”. We will also know and love Yahshua, the Great Light of Isaiah 9:2 (As Quoted in the Top Article Illustration), with our whole hearts, and we will KNOW that He loves us more than anything else He created for us now, or will create for us in eternity!
This leads me to deduce that the dualistic Yin and Yang principals of the Wheel of Karma in Eastern Philosophies that I explored in Part 1 of this article is not an accurate view of mankind's true destiny, or of God's ultimate Truth. Below this paragraph on the left, the illustration of the Wheel of Yin and Yang in Part 1 is shown first, and it reveals fallen mankind's view of the Dualism and Relativism associated with Karma that leads to the erroneous idea that there is no such thing as sin or evil, when there surely is, as Isaiah 5:20 proclaims. In the Eastern view of reality, light or good and darkness or evil are both needed to achieve balance in the Universe. But in the second illustration on the right, I have shown the TRUTH behind that symbol that God reveals in His Word regarding mankind's true destiny and purpose:
In the second illustration above, the dualism of Yin and Yang is replaced with a modified symbol representing the Creative processes of the Mind and Spirit of God and mankind that begins with a concept that is then made manifest in reality. In the darkness of our intellect, we develop ideas that will not be manifested in the light of day until we put our plans into action, and actually create and develop them outside of ourselves by forming them out of matter in the material world. So the Hidden, Dark or Yin part of Creation is found in Contemplation and Conceptualization, while the Visible, Light or Yang part of Creation is found in the Manifestation, or Material Creation of Matter in the Universe to create what we envision. This can also be expressed in the idea that planning leads to realization.
The conclusion that can be drawn from this examination of the mornings or days and evenings or nights of the Days of Creation is that nothing God created was originally meant to be haphazard, chaotic, or unrestrained. On the contrary! Everything God created was ordered, purposeful and interrelated with everything else He created as an expression of His innate perfection and goodness. As such, there was never any room in God's Mind or Spirit for darkness or evil or death to enter the picture. Though God knew what evil was and chose to utterly reject and exclude it, He knew mankind and the angels had to learn that lesson too in order for them to dwell with Him in eternity.
Darkness was originally meant to symbolize the hidden Contemplation and Conceptualization behind all created things, NOT negativity, opposition, or evil! God never deemed evil to be necessary or to have any basis in Truth except as a contrasting Creative Tool that was used to teach us the difference between Good and Evil, and to show us why we should choose God's pure goodness and Light as the Truth over Satan's darkness, which masquerades as light and truth, but is anything but! Ultimately, however - at the end of time - the end result of all the tumult and chaos in this fallen world today will be the restoration of God's original concept of universal perfection in a recreated world and universe that will be totally filled with Light and Love - without even a hint of evil or darkness anywhere! And, since everything in the New Heaven and New Earth will be perfect, contemplation and conceptualization will no longer lead to darkness or evil, but only to more of God’s infinite goodness! Hallelu-Yah for that!
In conclusion, the message that Yahshua's Spirit told the Apostle Paul to preach that would bring spiritual Light and Truth to the Gentiles and destroy the spiritual deception of the Satanic, Luciferian Darkness they are in is what each believer in Yahshua should also be preaching. This message is the Good News of Salvation in Yahshua and the forgiveness and purification He offers all who love and follow Him and are thereby covered by His Blood Sacrifice for sin. As the Holy Spirit said to Paul:
I hope that you have enjoyed reading Part Two of my Three Part Article Trilogy on "The Physics of Salvation". In Part Three of this Study, which I have linked to directly after my note below, I focus on our Father God's nature as a Being of Light, and His great Love for us in comparison to the Hatred that Lucifer feels for us in his love of Evil and Darkness.

| The Apostle Paul was Sent to Lead People Away from Satan's Darkness and Into God's Light |
Acts 26:17-18 ~ “I (i.e. Yahshua) will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, 18 to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”This message of how Yahshua's LIGHT can negate and destroy all the Spiritual Darkness surrounding mankind and restore the original Order of Creation that God always intended is the only true message of HOPE for mankind in this lost and dying world of sin. So we who love Yahshua should all strive to share it with everyone we know whenever we can to show our love for Yahshua and one another.
I hope that you have enjoyed reading Part Two of my Three Part Article Trilogy on "The Physics of Salvation". In Part Three of this Study, which I have linked to directly after my note below, I focus on our Father God's nature as a Being of Light, and His great Love for us in comparison to the Hatred that Lucifer feels for us in his love of Evil and Darkness.
Important Note Regarding Job 38:7: Only the Holy Angels are being referred to as morning stars in Job 38:7 because a morning star sheds light in the lightening darkness just before dawn, and God the Father is the true source of all spiritual Light. Also please note that Lucifer is not ever referred to as a morning star in Isaiah 14:12 (as I proved in my article entitled: “DESTROYING THE DA-VINCI CODE LIE SUGGESTING THAT CHRIST IS LUCIFER!”). That Scripture actually calls Lucifer or Satan a son of the morning, NOT a morning star, and 2 Corinthians 11:14 says that he masquerades as (or pretends to be) an angel of light.
