God described as light means He is the original, unseen source of all creation — everything was spoken into existence out of nothing, and all things will one day return to Him.
Les Feldick teaches that the universe came from a single source of light, which he identifies as God — because God is light. Everything was called into being by God's spoken word out of nothing, a truth received only by faith since it is beyond human comprehension. Les also teaches that at the end of the age the universe will melt down and come right back to God, its original source of light, after which God will create new heavens and a new earth.
1 John 1:5 — This is the foundational verse declaring that God is light — the very attribute Les Feldick identifies as the source of all creation.
Genesis 1:1 — The opening verse of Scripture records that God created the heaven and the earth out of nothing, the act Les connects to God as original light.
2 Peter 3:12 — This verse describes the heavens being dissolved by fire — the future meltdown Les says brings all creation back to its original source.
The Bible opens with the declaration, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth' (Genesis 1:1). Nothing in that verse suggests preexisting visible material — creation is presented as a sovereign act of God. The apostle John adds the foundational description of God's nature: 'This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all' (1 John 1:5). Because the origin of the visible world lies in the unseen realm of God, Hebrews 11:1 defines the posture of faith: 'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' The creation itself belongs to that unseen reality, received only by faith. Scripture also reveals the end of the present created order. 2 Peter 3:12 declares: 'Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?' And verse 13 gives the promise that follows: 'Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.'
Les Feldick consistently teaches that God, who is light, is the original source out of which everything came. He points to Genesis 1:1 and emphasizes that God created the universe and the heaven and earth out of nothing — a fact that science still cannot prove and that must be received by faith (Clips 1, 5). Les recalls reading a scientific article by a physicist who concluded that the whole universe had once come from a single source of light. Les immediately responded, 'who is light? Well, God is' (Clip 1). Everything, he says, came when Christ spoke the word — out of Himself (Clip 4). God flung the universe out with a spoken Word, and He can call it back at His will (Clip 3). Les then applies the same picture to the future. He sees 2 Peter's description of the heavens being on fire and dissolved as the entire universe being 'totally melted down and brought right back to the very God that created it in the first place' (Clip 2). The physicist's closing statement — that the whole universe would one day return to that original source of light — prompted Les to say the man was 'so close to the truth' without knowing it (Clips 3, 4). But that is not the end. Just as creation began from God, so after the meltdown there will be new heavens and a new earth (Clip 4). Les also connects this to the infinity of God: as far as space goes, God is always beyond it — and the infinity of God and of space is beyond human comprehension, making this little solar system just a little blip if God destroys it (Clip 7).
Les teaches that at some time in the past, God created the universe and the world out of nothing — a fact science still cannot prove and which must simply be believed. He cites Genesis 1:1: 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.' The main thing to understand, Les says, is not controversy about origins, but that God created out of nothing (Clips 1, 5).
Les explains that when we enter into the realm of the spiritual — into things we cannot just tangibly touch — it has to be on the basis of faith. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as 'the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' Les says some of these things are so far beyond human comprehension that he could not believe them unless he was positive this was the Word of God. His faith, he says, is documented, not blind (Clip 0).
Les teaches that this whole universe will be totally melted down and brought right back to God, the original source of light. He connects this to 2 Peter 3:12, where the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. But that is not the end — Peter promises new heavens and a new earth. Les envisions God pulling everything back into that original source of light and energy and then creating anew (Clips 2, 3, 4).
Les reflects on the vastness of space — that something going at the speed of light can just keep going and never come to the end of it. As far as space goes, he says, God is always beyond it. This infinity of God and of space is beyond our comprehension. If God should see fit to destroy this little solar system, it would be just a little blip — the fervent heat will melt everything down to nothing (Clip 7).
Faith: The Evidence of Things Not Seen
Les explains that the spiritual realm — including the unseen origin of creation — must be entered on the basis of faith, because these things are beyond human comprehension and tangible proof.
God Is the Single Source of Light
Les cites a scientific article concluding the whole universe came from a single source of light, and identifies that source as God — 'who is light? Well, God is.'
The Universe Will Melt Down to Its Source
Les shares the physicist's conclusion that everything came from an original source of light, and teaches that the whole universe will be totally melted down and brought right back to God.
God Speaks the Universe Back
Les says God flung the universe out with a spoken Word and can call it back at His will; all of creation will melt down and come right back to its original source of light.
New Heavens and a New Earth
Les teaches that everything came from Christ Himself when He spoke the word, and that although the universe will melt down and disappear, it is not the end — Peter promises new heavens and a new earth.
God Created Out of Nothing
Les states plainly that at some time in the past, God created the universe out of nothing — the main point to understand about origins.
The Luminaries Made Operational
Les notes that the word 'made' for the two great lights in Genesis is not the word for creation — God made them operational to give light upon the earth.
God's Infinity Beyond Space
Les reflects that God is always beyond the farthest reaches of space, and that the present solar system, if destroyed, would be just a little blip in the whole.
1 John 1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
The verse that explicitly describes God as light — the attribute Les points to as the original source from which all creation came.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The opening verse of the Bible, which Les cites to show God created the universe out of nothing.
Genesis 1:16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
The verse Les uses to show that God made the luminaries operational, using a word distinct from creation.
Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
The verse Les quotes to show that receiving the unseen things of creation is an act of documented faith.
2 Peter 3:12: Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
The verse describing the day when the heavens will be dissolved by fire — the meltdown Les says returns creation to its source.
2 Peter 3:13: Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
The promise of new heavens and a new earth after the old creation is dissolved.
Les cites a physicist's article concluding the whole universe came from a single source of light. Les immediately recognized that source as God, because God is light. All of creation came out of that original source when Christ spoke the word (Clips 1, 4).
Yes — 1 John 1:5 says, 'God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.' Les applies this to creation: since God is light, He is the original source from which the entire universe was called into being.
Les teaches that the whole universe will be totally melted down and brought right back to God, its original source of light. He connects this to 2 Peter 3:12, where the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved. Afterward, God will create new heavens and a new earth (Clips 2, 3, 4).
Because the visible universe was created out of nothing — something beyond ordinary human comprehension and scientific proof. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the evidence of things not seen. Les says his faith is documented by the Word of God, not blind (Clip 0).
