CREATION HISTORY:
The first thing that God created was the light. God said. “ Let there be light and there was light” (Gen. chap 1). Therefore God existed first before he created the light and the mother of all light is the sun. The other great light is the moon but has no light of its own but reflect the light of the sun and shines at night. God uses the sun to represents himself since no one can see him. Therefore the sun in the sky represents God the creator of the Sun. The sun becomes the source of energy to all both living and none living things on earth. Living things cannot exist in the absence of the sun. Therefore David said, “God is a sun and shield” (psalms 83:11) And again he said “For with him is the fountain of life and by your light did we see light” (Psalm 36:9).
Yes, the sun is the fountain of life based on the fact that it supplies us with food through vegetation. Both man and all living creature such as the plant breathe in and out cabondozide and oxygen and the sun supply our vegetation with rainfall. The growth of plant depend mainly on the light of the sun and rainfall. The sun draws up the waters from the earth in the form of water vapour into the atmosphere where is been distilled and fall back as rainfall. On this account the bible says “ 27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: 28Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly” (Job 36:27) and again the bible says “It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. (Amos 9:6).
The rabit depend on vegetation and the animal eats the rabit and man feed on both vegetation and other animal likewise the carnivorous animal but without sunlight and rainfall no animal can survive including human beings. We shall die of hunger and thirsty. Therefore the sun is the fountain of life which is as well the day light as King David remarked. While at the same time it serves as God’s nuclear reactor in space producing great energy by sustaining lives yet it is the most destructive weapon in our solar system. It changes weather conditions and producing great winds and fierce storm that can destroy lives on earth like in the days of Noah.
The sun is the centre of the solar system and all the planetary bodies revolve around it counting the seasons, days, hours, months and years. King David one of our famous biblical scientists has these to say “In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun…..His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” (Psalms 19:4-6).
On the other hand the sun remains stationary while other planetary bodies revolves around it in circuit. Most importantly, although the sun sustain lives on earth through producing great energy, yet it could be very harmful as one cannot survive from the fiery heat of the sun. Therefore God set a tent or tabernacle from the sun in order to protect us from the heat of the sun. The tent or tabernacle he set for the sun we called it “OZONE LAYER”. In the absence of the ozone layer, the sun will burn us alive.
IN WHCIH HEAVEN DOES GOD AND HIS ANGELS LIVE
Now we may begin to ask : Where does God lives after he created the universe? We call it “heaven” but which heaven? All the planets above the earth we call them “heaven” so there are so many heavens in the endless sky. God being a spirit which is the creating force has no definite place to live in. Therefore King Solomon says that even the highest heaven cannot contain thee when he dedicated the temple.(1kings 8:27). Here the highest heaven is the sun; all other planetry bodies lies under the sun including the earth in which we live; yet God cannot be found in the sun.
Then Isaiah says “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest” (Isaiah 66:1). Prophet Elijah and Jesus ascended into heaven. The bible generally reveals that there is heaven but we cannot find which heaven actually. The sun is the only fiery planet in the universe and the fountain of live and the source of light to all planets. Who else can live in this fiery plant. Therefore he mad his servants spirits and his ministers fire (Psalms 104:4).
The sun gives us great light unequal to any other light on earth based on the fact that it contain several shining precious stones. Lucifer sometimes lives there and was created from that planet. In the book of prophet Ezekiel he represents the king of Tarus. Let see how he described him before his rebellion “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus (Lucifer) and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covered; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God ; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (Ezekiel 28:12-15).
Angels are perfect in beauty just as Lucifer was and he and other angels were created from many precious stones not from the dust of the earth and they walk in the mist of stones of fire living in mountain of God known as the heavenly Jerusalem as the book of Revelation also described the nature of the new Jerusalem which consist of various precious stones shinning like the sun.
Prophet Isaiah called Lucifer “Sun of the Day Star” and the day star is nothing else but the sun in the sky as the book of Genesis remarked from history of creation (Isaiah 14:12 American Standard Version). Now we are to know the particular heaven the bible is talking about. It is the fiery planet in the universe which sustain live on earth. Prophet Elijah was transcended into a fiery being and was carried into haven by a chariot of fire invisibly only Elisha is servant saw it. God descended mouth Sinai in a great furnace of fire very frightfully indeed (Deut chapter 4). The angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in the form of bush fire. Jesus was transfigured and his face shone like the sun with Moses and Elijah. All the three personalities were shinning like the sun in its full strengh during their meeting at the mount of transfiguration (Mat 17: 2). He also appear in the likeness of the Sun to Apostle John in the book of Revelation (Rev. 1:10-16). Chariots of fire of the heavenly armies surrounded Elisha when the Syrian armies surrounded Elisha and his savant in the books of 2 kings. We read about fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire etc relating to God and his angels.
Again, in the book of Revelation, the new Jerusalem takes the brightness of the sun containing shinning precious stones. There it revealed that there was no need for the sun that God was the sun and all the nations walk by his light just as the sun is representing God and we are walking by its day light and the book of revelation says that from the throne of God came the fountain of life. Which also implies that God represent the Sun which is the fountain of life as the book of Psalm implied.
The sun is a star not a planet. Prophet Isaiah called it “Day Star” from which Lucifer and the host of angels were created by the invisible God which cannot be found in the Sun just a he created Adam and Eve and cannot be found on earth.
REASON WHY WE MUST NOT WORSHIP THE SUN
Although the sun is the primary source of live on earth yet we must not worship it. It serve as the presences of God in the universe. You must not worship a building such as a church, mosque, etc. God cannot live in man-made temple forever. He only reveals his glory for a while and disappears. God’s Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of those that are pure. So there is no definite place you can find God. Even the heaven of heavens which is the sun cannot contain God but only gives power to the sun to sustains live in which all his angels were created as sons of the DAY STAR but he is not found there except he that sit on the throne of authority which is any of those angels appointed to rule for a time. We must not worship the sun but worship the invisible God that created the Sun and give it all power to sustain live. God appeared to the children of Israel in great fire and the mount Sinai was burring like the sun. God was revealing himself to them how his dwelling place looks like being a fiery planet although invisible. Then Moses said, “You heard the voice of God in the midst of the great fire but you saw no form. Therefore they must not worship the likeness of any beast in earth and in heaven including the sun and other heavenly bodied.(Deut chapter 4). Therefore God is completely invisible both in earth and in the heaven of heavens.
