Exodus 24:9-10

Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

Wow, here’s a little Easter Egg! Moses and the leaders of the Israelites went up the mountain and saw God flying around on a sheet of sapphire.  What have I been saying? The firmament solves a multitude of oddball scriptural issues. Here is a perfect example of several concepts all in one place which works to confirm the validity of the argument as a whole.

  • Heaven is a physical place,
  • it is made from a sheet of layered crystal which encloses the universe,
  • it is clear as crystal and has the properties of a variety of precious stones,
  • sections of it are movable and may be used for transportation from heaven to earth and back again.

It also just happens to solve the issue of why science can’t appear to locate 80% of the mass of the universe.

Just saying…

Job 22:12-14

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.

God is in heaven, above the dark cloud. This is speaking of the covering that Isaiah referred to as being like sackcloth.

Heaven is a circuit, an orbit of the earth, a sphere on the edge of space.

Job 37:18

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

Let’s not get carried away though, trust Job to bring us back to reality. This gets us back to the very meaning of the Hebrew word translated firmament – raqia. Something which has been spread out into a thin sheet. This time the concept is connected with something strong, which twelve layers of different crystalline compounds would be. It looks like molten glass. This once again connects our firmament with the sea of glass as we saw in Revelation 4, 15 and 21.

Psalms 18:9-13

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

Now we are able to unravel this confusing little mess.

  • Bowing the heavens is possible if a section of the crystalline firmament is movable.
  • The darkness is under His feet because the inner surface of the firmament is covered with something likened to sackcloth
  • This would make darkness God’s secret place, from the perspective of us below.
  • But there is still brightness round about him because of His glory and the brightness of the firmament, above the inner covering of sackcloth.

Do you see how many nagging scriptural issues having a firmament solves?

Not to mention it’s the missing 80% of the mass of the universe.

Psalms 68:4, 33

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

(Psalms 68:4, 33) KJV

Here are a couple of odd statements. Odd, that is, if you don’t understand the heavens as being a layered sheet of crystal like a sea of glass. A piece of which could be ridden on…

Revelation 4:1-6

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

(Revelation 4:1-6) KJV

This builds substantially on what we have deduced before, but in a way that begins to tie it all together.

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

(Revelation 15:2) KJV

This is a very similar idea to what we saw in Revelation 21. The multitudes of the saved are standing on something described as a sea of glass which, contextually, we now know is the foundation of heaven which is the firmament.

Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

(Revelation 21:14, 18-24) NKJV

It would appear that the foundations of heaven and the foundations of the wall of the city are the same thing. Are the firmament and the foundations of heaven the same thing?

Principle II

The Original Languages Contain the Mind of Christ

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

(Psalms 12:6-7) KJV

People who believe the Bible also believe that there are right Bibles and wrong Bibles. The reasons for why are so complicated that a recent attempt to “shed light” on the issue may be the worst book ever written. It’s on a par with the poetry of Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings.
