I posted the following in another thread and got mouthed by one who stated that GOD did not create anything by speaking<--GOD said, LET there be and is WAS......I will go with the words God inspired to describe himself and his nature..........end of story....argue "is" and "in" after you thoroughly study each word and it's implication......
Do a study on "be" verbs which show a state of being........there is a very, very deep truth here that gets overlooked.....call to mind the following truths
And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.
His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His power.
In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
God is light.....
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

I have done an intensive study of this because it is fascinating and very deep.......God dwells in light and in essence is "be verb" light and we know and understand that GOD is eternal....now this is where it gets really deep.....God is also SPIRIT........now the interesting points....
It is a proven fact that the faster one goes time slows and when one hits the speed of light times stops. God by his very nature of dwelling in light and being light means he dwells in a permanent state of eternity where time as we know it stops and ceases to be. We also know that ALL things physical are atomic in nature vibrating at their own frequencies......EVEN light is made of particles such as PHOTONS......In the flesh we cannot be where GOD dwells be God by his very nature and character dwells IN LIGHT <-do a study on the word "IN" Let me make it clear...GOD is not a created being, he IS and HAS always been, yet IMO after a very intensive study "partially shown above" He vibrates at his own frequency which is far above and beyond the atomic frequencies that humanity and creation vibrates at and exactly why we cannot be physically where God is at in this body....
There are numerous verses that allude to this and or that speak to the vibrations or quaking that is felt in God's presence.....do the study.....very deep and very interesting.......
