How can you have a morning and evening without a sun?

23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. (Revelation 21:23)
In the new Heaven and Earth, there will be no need for a sun to give light on the Earth, so it is possible. Presumably, the direct glory of God served the purpose of providing light before He delegated that function to the Sun. Genesis one and two make much of the principle of delegation. To the sun, moon and stars, He delegated the authority to govern the days, months, seasons and years. To man, He delegated authority over the animal kingdom.
Remember also who wrote Genesis and when. Moses had to reveal divine truth to a people in submission to false religions where the sun, moon and stars were worshiped. How do you demote the power of the sun? You teach that before the sun was created, there was still light and a God who could give that light apart from the need for a sun.
