Let There Be Light! - Clayton D Steep - April 1984

Clayton D Steep

The Bible has more to say about light - and the absence of it - than you may have thought! About 6,000 years ago, the earth was a desolate planet, cloaked in a shroud of thick, murky darkness. The waters completely covering its surface rolled and tossed in the endless night, whipped by unobstructed winds. How long it had been like this we do not know. Then something momentous took place. This event is described in Genesis 1:3. Above the churning, black waters, God waited, ready to act. Everything was finally ready. The time had come to start God's 7,000 - year plan. Over the billow and surge of unillumined waves a mighty voice ordered, "Let there be light!" Immediately the blackness yielded as the awesome forces of the elements reacted in obedience to the almighty Creator. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
