Taking questions on Embedded Age Creation (2)

Reading.

You don’t think an all powerful God is capable of supplying light?

The Light of God is of a different stuff than physical light.

 

[BPPLEE]

You distorted the meaning of the bible verse you quoted.
By asking the question you are asking now, you are again miss-characterizing the message.
Is English your second/third/fourth language?

I didn’t distort anything

Not according to Revelation

Depends on how it's read I believe. Literally, or spiritually. I take the spiritual route of the Light of God trajectory where God's Glory is it's Light.

How do you take there is no need of the sun or moon?

 

[AV1611VET]

How do you take there is no need of the sun or moon?

Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

What AV wrote.
I'm also aware of some who work with the Light of God.

 

[BPPLEE]

Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

That is the scripture I posted. They have been trying to tell me it doesn’t mean what it says and that I don’t understand English.

Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Albert Barne's Commentary says this:

This imagery seems to be derived from Isaiah 60:19-20.

No language could give a more striking or beautiful representation of the heavenly state than that which is here employed.

Isa 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

@driewerf any comments?

The question in my mind is what IS God's glory such that a spiritual Light shines forth. I come from the perspective that it is the Life Force of God. Any other ideas?

In the absence of any adjectives to describe it in the written Word, shall we call it "divine light"?
