Genesis 1:3

Study

       

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Commentary

 

Voices, lightnings, and thunders

  

In Revelation 14:2, 'the voice of great thunder' signifies the Lord speaking through the New Heaven from Divine Love; it also signifies a glorification of the Lord from His celestial kingdom. (Apocalypse Revealed 615, Apocalypse Explained 855)

'Voices,' 'lightnings,' and 'thunders,' as in Revelation 16:18, signify rationalizations, falsifications of truth, and arguments grounded in falsities that stem from evil in the church among people who believe in salvation by faith alone. (Apocalypse Explained 821[4], 1014)

John 3:19-21

Study

      

19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
