Hey Chris.. imo They rightly called the night FIRST because of Gen1:5 -- they didn't know about Jesus going to be "The Light of the World", and how 'they' were 'in the dark' about the Gentiles learning from their teaching and experience.
Gen 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day".
Obviously its a confusing subject--done on purpose, I believe, with the 3D-3N in mind..
Nowadays of course we recognize how morning starts the day fresh after a good night's REST.. amen?
Dux allows: "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out the matter". Pr25:2
