1:78-79 What does the word "dayspring" refer to here?
Dayspring means the springing up of light.
In scripture it is used only in a spiritual sense.
Firstly, it refers to the coming of John as Christ's witness (cp Jn 5:35) and then it refers to Christ Himself, as the light of the world (cp Isa 9:2; 60:1-3; Mal 4:2; Mt 4:16; Lk 2:25-32; Jn 1:1-9; 3:19-21; 8:12; 9:5; 12:35-36, 46; 2Pe 1:19; Rev 22:16).
