Literally, it refers to natural light, such as daylight or the light of a lamp. Metaphorically, it is used to describe spiritual illumination, truth, and the divine presence of God. It often symbolizes purity, holiness, and the revelation of God's truth to humanity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, light was a powerful symbol of life, knowledge, and divine presence. In Jewish tradition, light was associated with God's creation and His guidance, as seen in the pillar of fire that led the Israelites. In Greco-Roman culture, light was also a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment. The New Testament writers, particularly John, use "phós" to convey the transformative power of Christ as the "Light of the World," bringing spiritual enlightenment and salvation.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5457</b> <i>phṓs</i> (a neuter noun) – properly, <i>light</i> (especially in terms of its results, what it manifests);
