~ Opposites Within the Same? ~
The following is an
excerpt from a book.
The forces of nature seem
schizophrenic. Consider basic elements such as water, wind, fire, and light.
Water is essential to life but can be destructive in uncontrolled flooding.
Wind, which as a gentle breeze produces lovely crystal-clear smog less days,
can become vicious in the form of a hurricane or typhoon. The same fire that is
essential for warmth can be a merciless killer. Light, which allows us to see
the beauty of interaction of the natural elements, can cause skin cancer with
over exposure to its life-giving rays.
Normally gentle, light can
be awesome in its power. Light is usually continuous and uniform but sometimes
arrives in great instantaneous brilliant bursts of power. Generally operating
in a totally silent mode, light occasionally produces great thunderous
outbursts.
So begins our study of the
subject of light! In the pages that follow, you find an integration of what
scientists know about natural light and how theologians understand the God of
the Bible. This integration results in many fascinating parallels that provide
insights into both physical and spiritual light.
