Firmament 3

Mindmap of the sequential development of the firmament rabbit trail

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

(Genesis 1:20) KJV

According to the context of our verse the open firmament is where birds fly, so it’s the atmosphere or sky. We can consider it to be the first of three heavens.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

The Firmament Rabbit Trail

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

(Genesis 1:6-8) KJV

One of our favorite ways to study the Bible is to follow a doctrine through from the first time it’s mentioned to the last. This is a great way to develop understanding of the doctrine in the broad narrative of scripture.

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

(Matthew 15:14) KJV

The Bible says that there was a world-wide flood, but popular science (SciPop) insists that there’s no evidence of it. A world-wide flood would leave evidence, so where is it?

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the relative depth of Noah's flood

How Deep was Noah’s Flood?

The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

(Genesis 7:18-20) NKJV

A lot of people like to say that there’s not enough water on Earth to flood it to a depth of 15 cubits above all mountains. They use math to do this so, naturally, everybody believes them because, hey, it’s math.

Then they said to one another, โ€œLook, this dreamer is coming! Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, โ€˜Some wild beast has devoured him.โ€™ We shall see what will become of his dreams!โ€

(Genesis 37:19-20) NKJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) replied to a question “how do you cope with writer’s block?” We don’t have writer’s block, we write everyday. It’s a simple solution.

Hell hath Enlarged Herself

Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

(Isaiah 5:14) KJV

It appears that the expansion of hell is due, at least in part, to the addition of human souls. However it also contains the implication that hell has expanded in anticipation of the arrival of new souls.

Every Imagination

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

(Genesis 6:5) KJV

A new month, a new epoch or major event to discuss. We don’t really have much description about life on earth after the fall of man and up to the flood. The great flood of Noah is by far the most significant event in earth’s history. It begins the era that we are going to call Pangaea.

Noah’s Flood

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

(2 Peter 3:5) KJV

The peer review driven narrative of popular science (SciPop) wants you to believe that there’s no evidence of a world-wide flood. A world-wide flood would have left debris everywhere.
