Q.  I don’t think Yahweh would start a day in darkness, because He does not create darkness, but creates only light.  Shouldn’t a day begin at sunrise?  Nowhere does Yahweh create darkness, only light!

A.  Let us examine a few verses:
            “Give glory to Yahweh your Elohim, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, [and] make [it] gross darkness.”  (Jeremiah 13:16)
            “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YAHWEH do all these [things].”  (Isaiah 45:7)
            “And I will bring the blind by the way [that] they know not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.”  (Isaiah 42:16)
            “Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth].”  (Psalm 104:20)
            “He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.”  (Psalms 105:28)
            “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.”  (Genesis 1:2)
            The word “moved” is actually the hovering over, like a mother hen over her chicks, or fluttering like a bird over her young.  How long did His Spirit “hover” or “flutter” over the waters? Maybe 12 hours of darkness which was then dispelled by LIGHT. Darkness was when He started His work of creation and the LIGHT overcame the darkness.
            DARKNESS came first. Then followed LIGHT. That was the first day, beginning with darkness. Yahweh begins with us when we are in darkness and we behold His Son, the Light of the world, John 8:12; John 9:5.
