God names Day and Night as persons

Starting in Genesis 1, the Bible explains, [5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

“When God named Day and Night; that’s a personification,” says Jordan. “It's much more than just the physical; there’s a spiritual darkness being dealt with there. When He said, ‘Let there be light,’ that’s the God ‘who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,’ as Paul writes.

“He’s declaring to His creation right there that the only place you’re going to find the purpose of God and His glory in His creation is in Jesus Christ; it’s not in that make-believe wisdom of the Adversary.

“On Day #4 in Genesis 1:14 God said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.’

“Now He’s going to put lights in the heavens. You’re going to have a physical light that’s going to separate the spiritual darkness into two categories and they’re going to be for signs.

"In other words, they’re going to divide up the darkness from the light and they’re going to be physical manifestations.

“He’s going to start using sign language in His creation. You know Psalm 19: ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.’

“But there’s a little more to it than that because He’s going to use the sun, the moon and the stars. The thing about them is they produce light. The moon reflects the light of the sun but it lights the earth with reflected light. Even in the darkness, when the earth is on the dark side of things, it can reflect off the moon and light the earth.

“The stars are light sources. One of the reasons angels are associated with stars in the Bible is angels don’t function in darkness. Darkness is a chain that immobilizes. God did that in Egypt in Exodus 10: ‘And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.’

“You read that and you see nobody could get around it—it was such oppressive darkness that it immobilized the Egyptians.

“By the way, you see at the end of Genesis 1:16 it says, ‘he made the stars also’? That’s not saying, ‘Oh, yeah, by the way, I think I’ll make a few stars.’ 

"He made the sun, the moon and the stars also to do what? The verse says 'God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.' He made the stars also to RULE.

"Verses 17-18 says: [17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

“Who did God put in the heavens originally to rule the heavens in the earth? Lucifer and His angelic creation. That word ‘Lucifer’ in Latin means he’s a ‘light-bearer.’ The original light-bearer was Satan before he became Satan and before ‘the host’ became fallen angels.

*****

“When the original light-bearer fell into a false wisdom experiment, God judged him with darkness. ‘Their foolish hearts became dark.’ God withdrew His wisdom and understanding and darkness consumed them.

“On that 4th day God put into the heavens some new rulers to replace the old rulers. The Book of Job talks about the ordinances of heaven; the constellations ruling the seasons in the earth. God literally set up a new structure in His creation; new laws to replace Satan, and they were for signs physically manifesting the power God.

“When Satan usurped all that stuff, he got humans to worship the HOST of Heaven. They weren’t just worshipping the sun; they worship the power they think is behind that.

“Satan takes those rulers and wants them to worship him as the REAL power. People worshipping fertility gods are not just worshipping the mechanics of the sun; they’re wanting ‘the god of the land’ to come and fill up the earth with blessing, so they are symbols, signs.

"That term ‘God of the land’--you ever hear anybody talk about territorial spirits? You know who believes in that? Heathen. That’s a pagan doctrine. They believe there’s ‘a god for this land’ and ‘a god for that land.’

“When God brought them out of Egypt, it wasn’t just that they didn’t have to make cakes anymore; He brought them out of their bondage to the gods of Egypt, setting them free from that religious system that made them think that those little gods, with a little ‘g,’ were God.

“You know how the Believer thinks? ‘The heavens are the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.’ He owns it all; He’s the God of it all. All these little guys are just little peons; false claimants of pieces of the land that God Himself owns, not them.’ ”
