Why? Explain why you think silence and darkness came into existence at certain point in time and what were the conditions before they came into existence.
My two cents. Sorry in advance for the rambling
I think its one of those things that goes beyond human understanding that God must give us the faith to believe .Like the peace of God we live in.... it surpasses our limited understanding as a guide allowing us to believe the unseen eternal . Or at least my limited understanding.
Can't find God under a microscope . His ways are past finding out. There is no familiarity with God and his creation(
Colossians 2:8)
It would seem there were no conditions before he created all the conditions we see . God forms light and created darkness. It was not until the fourth day that in effect God gave power of the Sun and the moon as the two forms of light used for the temporal time keepers. This is until the new heavens and earth come into view that was created within the first 6 days he did work.
I would believe from looking at the plural of generation as a beginning, as generations when
they and not it(singular) were created. It helps us to know that corruption cannot put on the incorruptible. We are looking for a new incorruptible creation to come into view on the last day.
These are the
generations of the heavens and of the earth when
they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens Geneisis 2:4
In the new incorruptible order their will be no darkness.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.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 .And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.Revelation 21:22-25
He holds all things together by the power of His understanding. He holds the distanvce from the Sun and the moon: "come no further". or rust and erosion. We walk by faith the eternal not seen and not by sight the temporal .
The same applies to when the Israelites who wandered for forty years, their clothes or sandals did not wear out. And when they longed for the familiar things they had in Egypt he fed them the supernatural Manna .This was to help them know there is no familiar with the creation and the faithful Creator .We walk by faith and not by sight, not trusting the things seen The word manna literally means... "what is it". Or Moses who representing the law of God, striking a Rock to represent Christ and supernatural water came out to represent the gospel
The Israelites were constantly changeling their familiarity with the Creator as if he was a man as us .And even created their own source of faith in respect to the familiar things seen. Serving the doctrine of necromancy. The Hebrew word Darash translated as Seek in the first instance in the portion of scripture below . The second use of the word seek would by after the one proper manner .Called this manner, our father in heaven(
Matthew 6:9)
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.Isaiah 8:19-20
Rachel who sought after familiarity hid the teraphims from her father as family idols images and worshipped what is spoken of in
Colossians 2:18 in respect to fallen angels as a lying sign and wonder, intruding into those things which she did not seen, vainly puffed up by her fleshly mind,
Today the Catholics follow after that doctrine of necromancy making the word of God to no effect by which they call the sacred tradition of their fathers called patron saints. Today there are more than 3500 and rising workers with familiar spirits, picking up speed.
