Thematic Bible: Appointed to rule the day
Thematic Bible
The sun » God » Appointed to rule the day
God made two great lights -- the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night. He made the stars also.
The Lord has made a promise to Israel. He promises it as the one who fixed the sun to give light by day and the moon and stars to give light by night. He promises it as the one who stirs up the sea so that its waves roll. He promises it as the one who is known as the Lord who rules over all.
