God spoke and produced light, which apparently was a necessity in the beginning of “forming” the “formless void.” Is light a necessary part of the creative energy? God, of course, knew what the “formless void” looked like even with out light….but it is interesting that it is in this order. The light shines before the “formless void” is formed. A lesson for our lives from history. An historic principle that began with creation and continues today and tomorrow. “Light” in Hebrew does not refer to the sun. It is referring to energy and matter. Light was the sole creation of the First Day. Light, by definition, is not an entity in its own right. It is the link between two other entities, the communication from its emitter to an observer or recipient. Light would have no function unless it is expressing the former and influencing the latter.
