He causes "the light to shine out of darkness." 2 Corinthians 4:6. When "the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep," "the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Genesis 1:2, 3. So in the night of spiritual darkness, God's word goes forth, "Let there be light." To His people He says, "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." Isaiah 60:1. 718

Gud lader lys skinne frem af mørke. 2Kor. 4,6. Da "jorden var øde og tom, og der var mørke over verdensdybet" svævede "Guds Ånd ..... over vandene. Og Gud sagde: "Der blive lys!" Han siger til sit folk: "Gør dig rede, blive lys, thi dit lys er kommet, Herrens herlighed er oprundet over dig." Es. 60,1.
