No Need of Sun or Moon
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) KJV
In popular science (SciPop) the reason why we detect a distant brightness is because opposing forces, the solar wind pushing out and interstellar forces pushing in, cause glowing Hydrogen to accumulate like foam on a beach.

I know a certain Christian man who fourteen years ago was snatched up to the highest heaven (I do not know whether this actually happened or whether he had a vision—only God knows). I repeat, I know that this man was snatched to Paradise (again, I do not know whether this actually happened or whether it was a vision—only God knows), and there he heard things which cannot be put into words, things that human lips may not speak.
(2 Corinthians 12:2-4) Good News Translation
The third heaven is the dome or firmament, which is a sea of glass. It’s a rigid crystalline sphere on the edge of space which formed in response to the creation of gravity on the second day.

The stars fought from the sky;
(Judges 5:20) Good News Translation
as they moved across the sky,
they fought against Sisera.
Most of the space between the firmament and Earth is the cosmos or observable universe. There’s something very odd about the cosmos: there’s a disconnect between what we can see vs. what we believe about it.

Then God commanded, “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.”
(Genesis 1:20) Good News Translation
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) King James Version
Part of the space between the firmament and Earth is the area in contact with the Earth that we call the atmosphere, or sky. This is where the birds fly. It’s referred to as the open firmament.

The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
(Revelation 21:18) ESV
How do we know that the next life is constructed from a series of elements which we have no earthly counterparts for? It’s not possible to make gold pure enough that it becomes transparent like glass.

And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
(Acts 10:45) NKJV
In the particle trinity which we deduced from the first two verses of Genesis, the Holy Spirit is Omega, Oxygen. However, the Holy Spirit can’t be just any Oxygen, or everyone would be filled with the Holy Spirit all the time.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
(2 Corinthians 12:2) NKJV
Given that the apostle Paul specifically refers to something called the third heaven it’s not a stretch to conclude that there must also be a first and a second heaven. We need to know what they are.

The few thousand galaxies closest to us move in a vast ‘bubble’ that is 250 million light years in diameter, where the average density of matter is half as large as for the rest of the universe. This is the hypothesis put forward by a theoretical physicist to solve a conundrum that has been splitting the scientific community for a decade: at what speed is the universe expanding?

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
(Revelation 1:8) KJV
The Lord Jesus refers to Himself as the Alpha and the Omega. There’s more than one way to understand this, but it’s possible to use deduction to ascertain which is the correct one.

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
(Revelation 21:22-23) ESV
There won’t be a temple in the New Jerusalem because there won’t be any need for a symbolic representation of God. God’s glory will be the light we live by, unimpeded, for the rest of forever.
