Light is Wisdom. and God is wisdom. and God is a PERSON. scriptures. Genesis 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."John did not get your memo when he called the Word a "He' or "Him" multiple times. The "it" pronoun that you're referring to is Christ's attribute of Light. Christ's light is not a person, the Word (Christ) is a person.
Light here is not NATURAL LIGHT as the sun produce. Light Here is WISDOM, the Spirit, the PERSON who is God.
LIGHT: H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore) n-f.
1. illumination.
2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.).
[from H215]
KJV: bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
Root(s): H215
now Natural LIGHT made on day 4.
Light: H215 אוֹר 'owr (ore) v.
1. to be luminous.
2. (causative) to make luminous.
{literally and metaphorically}
[a primitive root]
KJV: X break of day, glorious, kindle, (be, en-, give, show) light (-en, -ened), set on fire, shine.
see the difference? now notice definition #2 in the Light : H216 אוֹר 'owr (ore) ... 2. (concretely) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.). see that word "happiness" another word or words that is synonymous to it? answer, REJOICE and DELIGHT. let's see it.
Proverbs 8:22 "The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old." Proverbs 8:23 "I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was." Proverbs 8:24 "When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water." Proverbs 8:25 "Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:" Proverbs 8:26 "While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world." Proverbs 8:27 "When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:" Proverbs 8:28 "When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:" Proverbs 8:29 "When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:" Proverbs 8:30 "Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;" Proverbs 8:31 "Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men."
