WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE READ THE CREATION STORY THROUGH THE LENS OF IMAGERY & REALMS? THE STORY MAKES SENSE.

“16God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth…” Genesis 1:16-17

“The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy mainly as visible light and infrared radiation. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.” Wikipedia

The Bible uses imagery to pair spiritual realities with Physical realities we understand in the World God is represented by the sun in the Creation Story. That is Who desires relationship with you. Without Jesus we can’t get anywhere near the sun without burning to a crisp because of the shear energy of the sun!
