through. the phrase "rising sun" in verse 78 stood as I found something
unique about this phrase. I don't recall Jesus ever being referred to as
the rising sun. A search through the NIV using biblegateway.org does not
reveal any other instances of this phrase. The NASB version uses the proper
noun Sunrise. Using biblegateway again reveals no other instance of
sunrise to refer to Jesus.
I think of one parallel-- the rising sun marks the beginning of the day.
The Bible contains many phrases, such as "light of the world" that describe
Jesus. Now we have "rising sun" as another Biblical phrase that describes
Jesus. phil out
