Planets

The following passage is from Genesis 1:14-19 describing the creation of what we call space. Please listen carefully for the creation of the planets.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. (Genesis 1:14-19)

Why are planets not listed and only

the greater light, or what we call the sun,

the lesser light, or what we call the moon,

and the stars?

1 Corinthians 15:41 tells us the answer.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

What we have named planets are stars that have a different glory than stars that burn.
