From the void primeval, and then becoming the era of God's love.

"before the sun is just a bright spot in the night time..."

Light, hermanos, is the creation of God.

"Light, be" says our wondrous Creator.

Naturally, such as in the void of space, the light is not diffuse, and there is no bright sky such as we know it.  The sun is just like a really blight light bulb, whereas here on the surface of the Earth, the entire sky has brightness when the sun is shining.

Think of it such that one cloud passes before the sun mid-day.  The sky doesn't go completely dark, you see, because there is luminance, or a measurable brightness about it. 

But in the dead of night, the world is more like the days of old, save for the stars shining, the days of creation, before there was light.  In those days, the apostle John cryptically states, "the Word was with God".

The uncreated universe, the void primeval, and God thought to fill that with something, and such the manifesting of love began, and then after, a fellowship in His Word.

I say all this lest we forget what it was, and what it yet could be, as God's miracles unfold and unfurl here in our world.
