A sheep in wolf's clothing.
O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—
(1 Timothy 6:20) NKJV
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.

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?

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.

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
(Job 37:18) KJV
Current cosmological models of the universe appear to show that 80% of the mass of the universe is missing. There’s no physical reason why the cosmos maintains its current stable state.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
(Psalms 19:1) KJV
Let’s look at empirical evidence of the firmament. That means direct observation. The most recent confirmation that we have of the presence of the firmament is from the New Horizons space mission.

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
(Job 38:31-33) KJV
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
The image here was taken by Voyager 1 by aiming its cameras back towards the Earth and taking a series of pictures. It is called the Solar System Family Portrait. The sun is not large as seen from Voyager, only about one-fortieth of the diameter as seen from Earth.

That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;
(Isaiah 45:6) NKJV
The best illustration of how we can switch back and forth between different frames of reference, such as heliocentric and Geocentrospheric, is an interactive guide to the flight path of the Voyagers.

They met Moses and Aaron, who were waiting for them, as they came out from Pharaoh; and they said to them, “The Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us stink in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and have put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
(Exodus 5:20-21) ESV
Bible study is our meat and potatoes at Matty’s Paradigm, it’s what we do. Daily Bible reading is also really important and many of our insights have come from simply following a routine.

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
(Mark 13:24-25) NKJV
When asteroids approach the Earth they’re at perigeon. You’ve heard of perihelion, we need a new word. We’re going to coin a word to express the concept of perihelion, but proximity to the Earth (geo), not the sun.

Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
(Job 22:12-14) KJV
The distance to the firmament (heaven), from the center of the Earth, is approx. 1,736,441 light years. But we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) would appreciate it if someone would check our math.
