Definition: The word "afterlight" in the King James Version (KJV) appears to be a plural noun, possibly referring to several types or phases of light that are often described in biblical stories: 1.

Sunlight

: A term used by the Bible to describe the glow or warmth of the sun, which can last for hours and cause discomfort when it shines directly onto the skin. 2.

Mist

: A misty foggy layer covering the surface of a body of water on a hot day. The Bible describes mist as "afterlight" when describing a heavy rain. 3.

Fog

: Foggy weather conditions often described as being afterlight, particularly during thunderstorms or in a humid environment. 4.

Clouds

: Clouds are also called 'afterlights' in biblical descriptions. They can appear bright and colorful, even though they are overcast clouds, which is akin to a misty layer that is after the sun. 5.

Ephotic fog

: This term refers to "dark night" or "night of the damned," where darkness is followed by the full moon and a clear sky. 6.

Dusk (sunset)

: Often associated with the dark night, it represents the end of a day or time period. Each of these terms describes different conditions or phases of light that can be seen during a night. The KJV translates "afterlight" in this way to describe one type of dark night or the darkness following the sun.
