God said, "Let there be light" ... And God saw the light, that it was good... So the evening and the morning were the first day.
~ Genesis 1:3-5 (NKJV)
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. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth ... So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
~ Genesis 1:16-17,19 (NKJV)
First light was created on the first day.
The earth was created on the third day.
Light for the earth was created on the fourth day.
It stands to reason that our eyes have not yet beheld first light.
But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
~ 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV)
I cannot begin to imagine the glory of first light.
