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.

Transit of Venus

For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

(2 Peter 1:21) English Standard Version

Any time that someone uses the transit of Venus as proof of heliocentricity theyโ€™re demonstrating that their knowledge of the subject matter is at or below a superficial level.

December 4th

No Night There

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

(Revelation 21:23-25) KJV

Life is temporary. What comes next? God’s given us a description of what comes next and the choice of whether or not to believe it. We acknowledge belief in God’s testimony by accepting Jesus Christ as our savior.

God’s Rightful Place

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

During the month of December our devotion is going to be a study of heaven, which is to say, the next life. We’re going to see if we can clear up some misconceptions about what comes next.

Great Hail

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

(Revelation 8:12) KJV

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

(Revelation 16:21) KJV

A lot of things are happening at once when we hear the seventh trumpet sound. The church will be caught up into the clouds while the intensity of stars falling from heaven reaches incredible proportions.

Retrograde Motion

And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the LORD your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.

(Deuteronomy 4:19) NKJV

Retrograde motion is often described as a “big problem” for the Geocentrospheric model, but this exposes a failure by those who believe this to comprehend two concepts frame of reference and relative motion.

Phases of Venus

So we are even more confident of the message proclaimed by the prophets. You will do well to pay attention to it, because it is like a lamp shining in a dark place until the Day dawns and the light of the morning star shines in your hearts.

(2 Peter 1:19) Good News Translation

Any time someone uses the phases of Venus as proof of heliocentricity they’re demonstrating that their knowledge of the subject matter is at or below a superficial level.

Do Space Flights Require Heliocentricity?

It is a prevailing belief that space flights are planned using a heliocentric model of our solar system, and therefore Geocentrosphericity is impossible. This is the worst kind of scientific superficiality possible.

Firstly, heliocentricity is a theoretical model of the empirical Geocentrospheric reality. As such they coexist but one is real and the other is imaginary.

Secondly, all space flights start on the earth and many of them end back here, they are inherently Geocentrospheric. All space missions are tracked and controlled from the earth so they are empirically Geocentrospheric.
