Ancient Biblical Symbols: LIGHT

“…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.

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.”

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.

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