All things were created by the Word which God spoke. Remember John chapter One tells us that the Word of God was in the beginning and was the Creator of all things. God’s Word is the creative force. We need to realize that if God had never spoke, creation would have never took place. Genesis chapter one, verse two says, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of god was hovering over the face of the waters.” At this point the Word of God had not been released. Darkness was still covering the face of the deep because The Word, which is Life and Light (John 1:4) had not yet been spoken. It is interesting to note, that the Word for “light” in the Hebrew has a numerical value affixed to it: that number is 613, which happens to be the same as the amount of commandments in the Law, which is God’s Word. Basically, the Hebrew draws a picture which directly links the Word of God with Light. Jesus is the Light of the World, he tells his disciples in John chapter eight, verse 12. And, of course, the firs thing which God speaks is, “Let there be Light.” It is as if God is saying, “Let my Word manifest its true nature and illuminate all things.”
