We have another separation, the day from the night (v 14).
"For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6). Eventually, God's redemptive work will accumulate in the age to come when there will be no darkness.
"And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever"
(Revelation 22:5).
The greater light is the sun, and the lesser light is the moon. They govern over the day and night (v 16). The Bible says the heavens proclaim the glory of God and the skies display his craftsmanship (Psalm 19:1). In Romans, Paul explains, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse" (Romans 1:20). God's incredible creation clearly displays his eternal power and divine nature.
