The Bible is filled with statements about a special divine light. In the opening chapter of John's Gospel, Christ is called the "True Light." There, the word for "Light" is spelled with a capital L. Most Christians have the opinion that the term is only a metaphor for his sinless nature, but the reality is that a Primeval Light exists in Heaven which cannot be seen on Earth. This divine light was used for the first three days of creation, but when God made the luminaries (sun, moon and stars) on the fourth day, he withdrew the Primeval Light.
The subject of the Primeval Light is an amazing subject of scripture that is seldom approached. It begins in the first chapter of Genesis and runs throughout the Bible, displayed in splendor in the last chapter of the book of Revelation. It is a light source that we cannot see. The book of 1 Timothy mentions this light and reveals that it is a light that no man can approach or see:
" ... until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see ... " (1 Timothy 6:14-16).
This light is a light source which is different than anything we know or can comprehend on Earth. The reality of this light is that it is a supernatural light, or a divine light. J.R. Church and Gary Stearman reveal that this light is not a symbol or a metaphor, but it is a light that all people who go to Heaven will spend eternity living in. Jesus Christ himself made the statement that he is the "light of the world." What is this mysterious light called the Primeval Light? The Bible strongly suggests that this light is present all around us, but human beings at present are restrained from seeing it.
