Day and night are the natural divisions of time made by the rotation of the earth on its own axis. In the Bible, day and night also have a symbolic meaning. Night is the time when men sleep, when evil deeds can be hidden-when the righteous struggle and only survive with God's help. While Jesus was in the earth with his disciples the glorious light of God shined forth is his person and it was, for a brief time, day. When he was crucified night closed in on the human race (see John 9:4; Luke 1:78). Night will have an end and the day will come when Jesus returns.

"But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled." (1 Thessalonians 5:4-6; see also Romans 13:12; 2 Peter 1:19).

"Sing to the Lord, you saints of His; praise His holy Name.
For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:4-5).

At the end of time the complete abolition of sin and death will bring the final end to night and the beginning of perpetual day in God's presence.

"They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 22:4-5).
