Darkness (Heb. jóshek, .ôfel, neshef, .êfâh, ‘alâfâh, ‘arâfel, tsalmâweth, etc.; Gr. skótos, skotía, skía). It is sometimes translated as “darkness”. In addition to its literal meaning, “darkness” is used symbolically in the Bible to refer to spiritual ignorance (Psa 82:5; Is 60:2; Mat 4:16), to wickedness (Pro 4:19; Isa 5: 20), to the spiritual condition resulting from the neglect of the truth or indifference towards it (Mat 6:23; Luk 11:35), to the difficulties and problems of life (2Sa 22:29), to the confusion and uncertainty (Job 12:25) and to the mystery and elusiveness that surround God (Exo 10:21; 1Ki 8:12). “Darkness” spread over the face of the deep during creation (Gen 1:2). A plague of “darkness” fell upon the Egyptians (Exo 10:21, 22). “Darkness” covered the earth on the occasion of Christ’s crucifixion, and “darkness” will announce the proximity of his coming (Mat 24:29; cf Rev 6:12).

they are the darkness that God separated from the light, which he called day.
It was a symbol of sin Jr 32, 12, and of evil and was considered the place of demons, Gn 1, 4-5. But the t’s they are not exactly darkness, but rather the matrix of chaos, Gn 1, 2, and the axis of the evil one, Jn 12, 31, Acts 26, 18.
It represents death Ps 107, 14. Sheol is a dark place, Jb 10, 21 s. Juan highlights the antithesis and the struggle between light and t. The separation between the two is operated by Christ, † œthe light of the world †, Jn 8, 12, with his coming, judgment, Jn 1, 5; 3, 19; 12, 35 and 46. The struggle against darkness is very hard, but in the end they will be defeated by God, Rm 13, 12 s; Jn 2, 8; Isaiah 60, 18-20.

Exo 20:21; 2Sa 22:10; 1Ki 8:12; Psalm 97:2; Isaiah 8:22; Pro 4:19; Genesis 15:12; Matt 27:45; Rev 8:12; Matt 24:29; 2Pe 2:4, 2Pe 2:17; Isaiah 13:10; Psa 23:4 uses shadow and Pro 2:13 dark.

The absence of light. the t’s precede the creation of light. But the Spirit of God acted in their midst (Gen 1:2). God is inscrutable and we are told that he “put t. by hiding him around him † (2Sa 22:12; Ps 18:11), and said † œthat he would dwell in darkness † (1Ki 8:12; 2Ch 6: 1). In this regard, the emphasis is on the accessibility or possibility of human understanding. In that sense it is said that the t. he uses them as a “curtain of his own” (Ps 18:11). When it is stated that God “dwells in unapproachable light; whom none of men has seen or can see † (1Ti 6:16), he is saying the same to himself.
On the other hand, the idea of t’s is also presented. as a sphere of action of the evil and the evil. Men, for loving more †œt. than the light† (Joh 3:19), are under “the power of the t.” (Col 1:13), do “unfruitful works of the t.” (Eph 5:11), directed by “the governors of the t’s of this age† (Eph 6:12). But the Lord Jesus promises that he who follows him “will not walk in you” (Joh 8:12). That is why believers are not in the t., nor are they of the t., but of the light (1Th 5:4-5).
use of the term t. It is related to divine judgments. The wicked, those who reject God’s invitation are thrown “into the t’s. outside† (Matt 8:12; Mat 22:13). For them “the darkness of the t’s is reserved for ever” (Jude 1:13).

vet, In the Scriptures, this term is used in several senses: (a) State of the earth before God said: “Let there be light” (Gen. 1:2). (b) Temporary absence of light at night (Gen. 1:5). (c) Extraordinary darkness brought by God (Ex. 10:21; 14:20; Mt. 27:45). (d) The darkness in which God wrapped his glory (Ex. 20:21; Ps. 18:9, 11; 97:2; Heb. 12:18). (e) State of death compared to natural life (Jb. 10:21, 22). (f) Moral darkness. the state of man as a consequence of the fall (Ps. 82:5; Isa. 9:2; Mt. 4:16; Jn. 1:5; 3:19; 2 Cor. 6:14; 1 Pet. 2: 9; Jude 6, 13). God is light, and Christ came into the world as the true light; everything that is excluded from God, or opposed to Him, participates in moral darkness.

In the Gospels, darkness represents the kingdom of Satan and of sin (Mt 4,16; Lk 1,79); he who does bad deeds takes refuge in them, so that they do not appear (Jn 3,19); he who follows Jesus Christ, who is the light, walks in the light and overcomes the power of darkness (Jn 1,5; 3,19; 8,12; 12,16); he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going (Jn 12,35-36); to walk in darkness is to reject the light, to reject Jesus Christ (Jn 1,19; 8,12); it is exposing oneself to an inevitable fall (Jn 11,1); he who works the truth goes to the truth, goes to the light so that it can be seen that his works are done in God (Jn 3,21). The darkness also represents the place of eternal punishment (Mt 8,12; 22,13; 25,30). ->light.

A. ADJECTIVE skoteinos (skoteinov”, 4652), full of darkness, or covered by gloom. It is translated “in darkness” in Mat 6:23; Luke 11:34; “of darkness” (v. 36), passages where the physical condition is figurative of the moral. The group of words skot– is derived from a root ska–, which means to cover. This same root is found in skene: tent, tabernacle. Note: Contrast foteinos, full of light (eg Mat 6:22). B. Names 1. skotia (skotiva, 4653), is used: (a) of physical darkness: “It was already dark” (Joh_6,17, RVR; lit.: “the darkness had already come”, and 20.1: “being it is still dark”, KJV; lit.: “while it is still dark”); (b) of secrecy, in general, whether what is done in this way is good or bad (Mat 10:27 and Luk 12:3 “darkness”); (c) of moral or spiritual darkness, emblematic of sin, as a condition of moral or spiritual depravity (Mat 4:16; Joh 1:5; 8.12; 12.35, 46; 1 Joh_1 5; 2.8,9,11). ¶ 2. skotos (skovto”, 4655), older form than No. 1, grammatically masculine. It is found in TR at Heb 12:18:¶ 3. skotos (skovto”, 4655), neuter name frequently used in the LXX. It is used in the NT as equivalent to No. 1: (a) of physical darkness (Mat 27:45; 2Co 4:6); (b) of intellectual darkness (Rom 2:19); (c) of blindness (Acts 13:11); (d) by metonymy, of the place of punishment (eg, Mat 8:12; 2Pe 2:17; Jud_13); (e) metaphorically, of moral and spiritual darkness (eg, Mat 6:23; Luk 1:79; 11.35; Joh 3:19; Act 26:18; 2Co 6:14; Eph 6:12; Col 1 :13; 1Th 5:4,5; 1Pe 2:9; 1Joh 1:6); (f) by metonymy, of those who are in moral or spiritual darkness (Eph 5:8); (g) from wicked works (Rom 13:12; Eph 5:11); (h) from the evil powers that rule the world (Luk 22:53); (i) stealth. While skotos is used in the NT more than twice as often as skotia, the apostle John uses skotos only once (1Joh 1:6), and skotia 15 times out of 18 in the entire NT. With the exception of its meaning of stealth, darkness is always used in a bad way. Furthermore, the different forms of darkness are so closely related, being either cause, effect, or concurrent effects of the same…
