“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”
The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. — Nux (night) is progressing (prokoptō, advance, wear forward) toward hēmera (day). This apocalyptic imagery (Isaiah 59:17) suggests the night of the present age (aion) is near its end, and Christ's parousia (coming) dawns. Erga (deeds, works) of darkness (skotia) are removed (apotithēmi); hopla (weapons, armor) of light (phōs) are worn (enduō). Light represents truth, moral purity, divine order.
