DAYSPRING - As the darkness speaks to us of our depravity, so Christ, as the Dayspring illumines us with "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." The dawn is seen in the east rising upward and Jesus will return from the east

Dayspring

What does dayspring mean in the KJV Bible?

What does dayspring mean in the KJV Bible?

The word "dayspring" is an archaic term meaning "dawn" or "morning."

It is used in Job 38:12 and Luke 1:78 in the KJV.

Job 38:12 (KJV) says, "Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring [Heb., shachar] to know his place."

The verse concerns God's sovereign all encompassing power and majesty.

God even uses the dawn according to His will.

God is immanent; he interacts with his creation everyday.

He is also transcendent, as He literally controls the dawn (including its aurora, beauty, et. al.) in its constant varying its position. See Genesis 1:3; Psalms 65:8; Amos 5:8.

Luke 1:78 (KJV) says, "Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring [Gk. anatole] from on high hath visited us," It refers to the Messiah, who is the light of men (cf. Isa 60:1; Mal 4:2; John 1:4-5, 9-10; Eph 5:14; 2 Pet 1:19).

Some translations use the word "Sunrise" (Berean Literal Bible, NASB, NAS) or "Dawn" (Berean Study Bible, Holman Christian Study Bible).

The dawn is seen in the east rising upward and Jesus will return from the east (Matt 24:27).

As the darkness speaks to us of our depravity, so Christ, as the Dayspring illumines us with "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6).

The Septuagint (Greek version of OT) uses anatole in Jeremiah 23:5 translated as "Branch" (cf. Isaiah 4:2 - Christ is a sprouting branch and a rising star).

lyrics

They all walked away, nothing to say
They'd just lost their dearest friend
All that He said, now He was dead
So this was the way it would end

The dreams they had dreamed were not what 

they'd seemed
Now that He was dead and gone
The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long?

Then came the morning
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn

Then came the morning

Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come

The angel, the star, the kings from afar
The wedding, the water, the wine

Now it was done, they'd taken her Son
Wasted before His time

She knew it was true, she'd watched Him die too
She'd heard them call Him just a man
But deep in her heart she knew from the start
Somehow her Son would live again

Then came the morning
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn

Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come

Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
For morning had come
