"Let there be light"; and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
John
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ... 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.In other words, the first light was not physical light, it was spiritual light of Jesus.
It was both spiritual and the creative force.
