@Dar- what GC is refferring to is Jesus as the initial light in Genesis (being a spiritual use not literal as in the light we see) to which, Jesus is reffered to many times in NT as the light, and prophesied about in the OT as the light. This link Has a rather lengthy put thourough exploration of Jesus from Genesis through Revelation if you're interested. There has been time, to my knowledge since the begning of the universe, what came before that, and after it's entropy is the eternity he's reffering to (I believe, not meaning to speak for any1), which would indeed have no reference for time, IMO.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
