Let There Be Life

When Genesis Was Written in the Womb

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good.
And God separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.”
— Genesis 1:1–5

Before the stars were hung,
Before the sun was set in motion,
Before the moon began her rhythm…

God said one thing:

“Let there be light.”

And just like that—
The deep waters, the formless earth, the silent darkness—
were clothed in something new.

Earth Was a Womb

It was watery.
Covered.
Unformed.
Yet chosen.

The Spirit hovered like a mother eagle over her nest (Deuteronomy 32:11).
And then, the first Word ever spoken pierced the silence:

“Let there be light.”

This light didn’t come from the sun—it hadn’t even been created yet (that came on Day 4).
This was glory-light, from the very breath of God.

And that light? It didn’t just shine.
It sealed.

Science Caught Up to Scripture

Today, biologists have seen something astounding:
At the moment of human conception—when the father’s sperm meets the mother’s egg…

A tiny flash of light is released.

Not poetry. Not metaphor.
Actual light.

It’s called the zinc spark.

Zinc ions burst in a bright flare the very moment life begins.
And once that flash happens?

The egg seals itself.

One light. One entry. One life.

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved…”
— John 10:9

Zinc: The Silent Servant of Creation

What does zinc do?

– It triggers light at the start of conception.
– It activates DNA so life can begin forming.
– It protects the identity being written inside the cell.
– It seals the egg from any other intruder—only one may enter.

Zinc doesn’t just support life.
It announces it.

It says:
“This one is chosen.”
“This one is sealed.”
“This one bears the image.”

It’s the Genesis 1 moment, written into every human womb.

Adam and Eve Were Covered in Light

“The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.”
— Genesis 2:25

Yes—they were physically naked.
But they were also literally clothed in light and glory.

– Psalm 104:2 — God covers Himself with light as with a garment.
– Moses’ face shone after being near God.
– Jesus radiated light at the transfiguration.
– Angels appear as shining beings.
– And the righteous will one day shine like the sun (Matthew 13:43).

Before the fall, Adam and Eve weren’t walking in shame.
They were radiant—not just spiritually, but visibly glowing with God’s presence.

They were clothed in light.

Until they weren’t.

The Fall Snuffed Out the Flame

“Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked…”
— Genesis 3:7

When they sinned, the glory covering vanished.
The radiance went out.
And they saw their flesh—raw, unshielded, ashamed.

So they reached for fig leaves—
A poor substitute for what had been lost.

And God, in mercy, clothed them in animal skins.
But the light? The true covering?
Wouldn’t return until the Lamb was revealed.

Jesus—the Light We Lost

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
— John 1:4
“I am the Light of the world.”
— John 8:12

When He came, the light returned.
When He died, the veil tore.
When He rose, the glory was no longer hidden.

And when we believe?

“You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
— Galatians 3:26–27

We don’t just follow the Light.
We are clothed in Him again.

---

From the First Day to the Final Day

It began with light.
It continues with light.
And in the end?

“Night will be no more.
They will need no light of lamp or sun,
for the Lord God will be their light.”
— Revelation 22:5

You weren’t biology.
You were spoken into being.

And the same voice that hovered over the waters…
The same spark that sealed the egg…
The same Word that radiated in Eden…

Still speaks today:

“Let there be life.”

And if you belong to Him?

Then one day—you’ll shine again.

Postscript: Fig Leaves and Foolishness

To those who say:

“Well, Adam and Eve were naked, so let’s get naked too…”

Yes—they were naked.
But they were clothed in glory, not driven by lust.
They walked in innocence, not Instagram reels.

They weren’t sensual.
They were spiritual.

They lost that covering when sin entered.
And we don’t get it back through rebellion.

If you want Eden back?

Be clothed in righteousness.
Walk in holiness.
Be sealed by the Light before shedding layers.

Because the goal was never to be naked in skin.
It was to be radiant in Him.
