In the beginning, was The WORD+
And The WORD+ was with GOD
And The WORD+ was GOD.
John 1:1
We could equally state:
GOD was The WORD+.
Literally, then:
GOD was continuously being The WORD+.

specific WORD+ is in focus here. This WORD+, this LOGOS+, was continuously BEING , continually existing at
the first of all time, TIME as we know it.

ἦν καὶ ἡ ζωὴ
ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων

the LIFE was continuously being the LIGHT of men.
What an astounding ABSOLUTE !
What an absolute
JOY, as well !

And the light shineth in darkness;

not overpower it.
WHERE was this darkness ?
