“Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. beasts: Heb. beasts thereof do trample on the forest”
Psalms 104:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 104:20
God makes darkness and it becomes night, when 'all the beasts of the forest creep forth.' Even darkness serves God's purposes, providing time for nocturnal creatures to emerge. Darkness isn't evil here but part of creation's rhythm. Night has its proper function in God's design. This contrasts with darkness as metaphor for evil elsewhere. Christ is the light (John 8:12) who overcomes evil darkness, yet He also ordained physical darkness for rest and certain creatures' activity. The Reformed understanding distinguishes between creation's good darkness and sin's moral darkness.
