The creature of night in the Bible is what is mentioned in Isaiah 34:14 and is often interpreted as Lilith which is a figure from Jewish folklore and is associated with demons and the night.

The Hebrew word "lilith", appears only in this verse in the old Testament and the exact meaning of it is also debated among scholars.

And some translations render the creature of the night in the Bible as a night monster or even screech owl or night bird which reflects the uncertainty about it's precise identity.

A night vision in the Bible is the divine revelations or messages that are received during sleep "dreams", or in a state that is between sleep and waking "visions.

The night vision in the Bible experiences are a way that God communicates with you, often prophets, to impart guidance, warnings or even reveal future events.

The night vision in the Bible is essentially a vision which you have when you're half asleep or half awake and it's revelation that you see when you have some physical awareness.

What the Bible says about glowing eyes is is that the light and the darkness in the eyes symbolizes spiritual insight and moral state.

For spiritual insight the Bible describes the eyes as the lamp of the body and a healthy or single eye in this context, signifies a clear focus on spiritual truth and God's will, which results in a life that is filled with light.

And conversely, an evil or a bad eye represents a lack of spiritual discernment and a life that is clouded by darkness.

In metaphorical language, the Bible uses phrases such as eyes enlightened to describe the spiritual understanding which comes form knowing God.

And it also speaks of the light of the eyes, bringing of joy and good news refreshing the bones.

These are also symbolic expressions and not actual literal descriptions of glowing eyes.

The Book of Revelation also describes Jesus's eyes as like a flame of fire.

And this is part of a larger vision of Jesus's glory and power and not a description of his everyday appearance.

The flame of fire imagery is what symbolizes his penetrating gaze and divine judgement.

And in Exodus 34:29-35, Moses's face shone after speaking with God, which caused the Israelites to be afraid.

Although this was a reflection of God's glory and not a supernatural glow from Moses's eyes.
