WHy then did the Bibel say this long before day 4?

Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called 
Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Evening and Morning were first day.

There was DAY->TIME<.

That is why i feel there is a gap between the first two verses,
filled by Jer. 4 and Isaiah 14's inserstions of Lucifer's fall.

THe BIble does not say God CREATED the sun and moon in day 4, but 
that he "MADE" them.  Th eHebrew implies to take available
material and remodel it.

2 Cor 4:6 says God caused light to SHINE OUT OF darkness.
In other words, it was BENEATH darkness, as though covered.
AND IT CAME OUT ONCE AGAIN.

One might ask how darkness could envelope light.  We know this
occurs spiritually for sure.
