What was the light before the sun in Genesis ch.1? The Bible teaches that there was light for daytime on the first three days of creation week, and the celestial bodies (sun, moon, and stars) weren’t made until day four. Isaiah 60:19-20 and Revelation 21:22-26 state that at the end, when God creates a new world, there will be no sun, moon, or stars, and that God will illuminate the universe with His glory. So things return to the way they were before Creation Day 4, as described in Genesis 1.
