God is the Everlasting Light

Commentators agree this verse uses metaphors for a spiritual reality. The 'sun' and 'moon' represent temporary sources of light, while the Lord Himself will become the direct, everlasting, and all-sufficient light for His people. This points to a future of unbroken, glorious fellowship with God, as described in Revelation 21.
