Have you ever wondered about our solar system? Isn't it interesting that life as we know it depends totally upon a molten hot globe of fire in the dead center of our solar system? I mean, if you read much fantasy growing up, it's not hard to envision the opposite. Perhaps it's a gigantic ball of ice that offsets the heat given off by the earth! But no... it's not that way.
That much light gives off so much heat! So much energy! If you get too close... bad news! Even if you just stay outside too long!
In the Hebrew, the word for 'sun' is 'shemesh', or 'east' (by implication, from where the sun rises). Jesus is directly linked to this phrase, as He is the 'son', and will return by splitting the eastern sky.
Matthew 24:27 LITV
(27) For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Have you noticed that the closer you get to God, the less you care about the fleshly things of the world? The analogy is the same. Too much sun hurts the flesh. In fact, if you get too close all flesh is consumed. That is what we as Christians should be shooting for. I want to be so close to God that the fleshly lusts are just consumed.
