The Dry Land

And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:9-10) English Standard Version

God made the dry land appear on the third day. The dry ground is, obviously, the surface of the Earth. For our purposes the surface of the Earth is considered to be a feature of the crust.

The Earth Above the Waters

to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his steadfast love endures forever;
(Psalms 136:6) ESV

You can scratch your head all day pondering the spiritual truth behind a supposed metaphor, or you can take it literally and deduce that the Earth above the waters refers to the crust and mantle.

Levels of Hell

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the crust, mantle, great gulf and hell.

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
(Psalms 86:13) KJV

The levels of hell aren’t what you think. However, they’re what we would expect. The Hebrews had a well developed idea of life after death. For them physical death, the grave, was a portal into a complex underworld realm: sheol.

Newton’s Perpetual Motion Machine

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
(Hebrews 1:3) ESV

Every particle in the universe is emitting a stream of bosons all the time in proportion to its total energy, which takes energy, so why isn’t the universe cooling off and running out of energy?

Tis Inconceivable

Quantities aren't really quantities, even if we give them names. Words define the thing, even though the thing may be unknown.

always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
(2 Timothy 3:7) ESV

Gravity decreases with altitude as one rises above the Earth’s surface because of a greater distance from the Earth’s center.
– Wikipedia

A lot of what we know about gravity was unknown to Sir Isaac Newton, like the seemingly simple and innocuous fact above. If, according to Newton’s premise, gravity is a property of matter, why would the effect of it be concentrated at the center of a body?

Beyond Einstein

And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,
and they will fight, each against another
and each against his neighbor,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,
and I will confound their counsel;
and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers,
and the mediums and the necromancers;
and I will give over the Egyptians
into the hand of a hard master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
(Isaiah 19:2-4) English Standard Version

Einstein is a manifestation of the sorcerers who counseled in the spirit of Egypt. Egypt failed. A lot’s happened in physics since Einstein, so let’s consider a major development: the discovery of the weak nuclear force.

Announcing the Death of Relativity

As Jannes and Jambres were opposed to Moses, so also these people are opposed to the truth—people whose minds do not function and who are failures in the faith. But they will not get very far, because everyone will see how stupid they are. That is just what happened to Jannes and Jambres.
(2 Timothy 3:8-9) Good News Translation

It’s with profound delight that we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) can announce the death of relativity. It was never right, and Einstein knew it, but he buried it in math so that only a few elite academics figured it out.

A Gravitational Mechanism for Redemption

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
(1 John 5:5) KJV

If we’re being bombarded by a stream of A gravity which is God’s love propelling us away from the center of the Earth, but something about our nature causes us to sink down into it, then what happens inside us to determine our outcome?

Established Forever

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(Revelation 21:1-2) KJV

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
(Psalms 78:69) KJV

Is the Earth established forever or is it going to pass away? So which is it? We have statements which appear to be contradictory. If the foundation of the earth is a gravitational singularity this is easily resolved.

Physical Separation

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(Genesis 1:1) KJV

God intends to bring about a permanent physical separation of light from darkness. Light weight and light bearing are synonyms, like dark and heavy are. In general heavier, denser materials are darker.
