Evening and Morning were the 1st day

Have you ever wondered why God starts His day with evening?  Sunset one day till sunset the next is one day.  Wonder why?

Not that I know God's mind in this matter, yet I might bring several things to "light" (pun intended).

It all started in darkness of eternity.  So in the beginning was darkness and then He spoke and there was light.  Darkness #1 gives way to Light #2 and so the progression begins.  You  have to start counting somewhere and the progression is darkness to light. 

We start in the darkness of the womb.  At the time of birth we see light, but the beginning was not light but darkness then light.  

In our spiritual understanding we start in total darkness.  Something is put inside of us to cause us to be self-aware and seeking for a reason for our existence but we are in total spiritual darkness.  Then the Light of salvation shines into our heart.  Then He brings us out  of darkness into His marvelous Light.

We close our eyes in sleep and wake to the morning.  From darkness to light.

Finally we close our eyes in death, the darkness of all darkness and awake to the resurrection of the dead to a day  without end.  

Weeping endures for the night but joy comes in the morning. 

Evening and Morning were the 1st day.
