The Second Trumpet/Vial

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

(Revelation 8:8-9) KJV

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

(Revelation 16:3) KJV

The 1st trumpet/vial caused hail to fall on the land. That’s because the land, as we see it today, is distributed around the globe in a haphazard pattern. How could stellar material falling in an apparently random manner, and including a great mountain burning with fire, fall only on the sea? Consider this:

Astronomy

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.

God’s grace be with you all.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation

We like wry humor here at Matty’s Paradigm. A double-dose of irony with a side of snark. Here’s the definition of what you call Astronomy after it’s been filtered through the lens of Biblical cosmology.

Giant Fungi?

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.

God’s grace be with you all.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation

Pseudoscientific stupidity can be quite breathtaking. What you call science we call pseudoscience because nothing in this video is a testable hypothesis. It’s pure narrative.

How Precious are Thoughts?

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.

(Psalms 139:17-18) NKJV

Gravity was created on the second day. It’s powered by a singularity at which time has stopped. Time passes more quickly the further we are away from the singularity. It’s known as gravitational time dilation (GTD).

CSI: Hebrew

From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.

(Psalms 33:14-15) NKJV

Searching for meaning in the original Hebrew presents a problem of the variety that makes us wonder if the Theologians of old had a clue, and, if they did, did they figure that they could fudge it because no one would notice?

Foundation: מְכוֹנֶ֑יהָ – mechoneiha

Planet earth on the second day as concentric layers of sediment around a gravitational singularity

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

(Psalms 104:5) KJV

This is a very specific usage of the word foundation. The root that the word is derived from is makon, which is more broad, however this particular variant occurs in one place only. It clearly established that the foundation of the Earth was established once for ever.

Be not Shaken in Mind

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-2) NKJV

We’re gathering up a few thoughts and words of encouragement for those of us who experience a lot of solitude. Spirits can trouble your mind. Don’t let them. Let your kidneys handle it. Be settled in heart.

Deducing the Presence of the Firmament

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)

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

(1 Corinthians 13:12) NKJV

We can use Principle VI to deduce the nature of stars from current scientific research and what we know about the firmament, a rigid sphere made up of at least 12 layers of different crystal structures.
