Ancient Biblical Symbols: LIGHT

I have gone through the book and pulled out the most relevant references to LIGHT being a biblical symbol, and the interpretation offered by the author.

Note: I realize much of this is missing the context and discussion by the author, and I suggest that if this interests you, the PDF edition or the Kindle edition is available.

God is Energy. God is Light. God is the Energy of all energy and the Light of all light— (page 15)

“…dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man has seen, nor can see….”
1 Timothy 6:16

The Energy and the Light that is God is so phenomenal that no one can approach him and live. (page 18)

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
Psalms 36:9

Light was also a symbol of spiritual awareness and knowledge, in contrast to darkness and ignorance. As all life needs water, it too was a symbol of life—both physical life and spiritual life. All life is water and light. (page 18)

Throughout the Bible, the word light is used to describe the forces of energy. The people of the time could see the properties of light, but they were also aware that there were forces that they could not see and these they referred to as “the invisible.”

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”

“And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.”
Genesis 1:2-3

While the deep (universe) was still void of matter or light, “the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
