21. Verses 4-5 And God saw that the light was good; and God made a distinction between the light and the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.

The light is called good, because it comes from the Lord, who is good itself. 'The darkness' is those things which were there prior to the person's new conception and birth. They were seen as light, because evil was seen as good, and falsity as truth. But in reality they are darkness and things proper to that person which are lingering on. All things that are the Lord's, being things of light, are compared to the day, and all that are man's own, being those of thick darkness, are compared to the night, as is done many times in the Word.

125. This enables us to see in clearer light the things that have been presented in the earlier chapters about the Lord, namely that he is the God of heaven (2-6), that his divine nature makes heaven (7-12), that the divine nature of the Lord in heaven is love for him and thoughtfulness toward our neighbor (13-19), that there is a correspondence of everything in our world with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord (87-115), and that the sun of our world and its moon are correspondent entities (105).
