A sheep in wolf's clothing.
and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
(Mark 13:25) ESV
Jesus Christ, God in human form, prophesied about a time in the future when the stars fall out of the sky and impact the Earth. The express purpose of popular science (SciPop) is to make this seem impossible.

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
(Jeremiah 31:37) KJV
The Voyager spacecraft have been on their missions since 1977 and have flown far past the orbits of the planets in our solar system. They took a solar system family portrait and found the firmament.

If one day the sky could be measured
(Jeremiah 31:37) Good News Translation
and the foundations of the earth explored,
only then would he reject the people of Israel
because of all they have done.
The Lord has spoken.
We start with a simple observation: God hasn’t, and won’t, cast off the seed of Israel. This leads us to a conclusion: We haven’t measured the heavens. So why do we think that we know the distance to the sun and its mass?

Let’s start by getting some definitions right, specifically, let’s really pin down where I stand as compared to others that are similar, but not quite.
Geocentrism, for instance, is an attempt to be faithful to Biblical teachings while missing the mark on actually understanding anything. Geocentricity, the belief of the Geocentrism movement, as advocated by the Association for Biblical Astronomy (ABA) is an absolute shambles. On the one hand it is motivated by the good intent of being faithful to the Bible, which teaches a central earth, but it does not allow for a finite cosmos bounded by a crystalline firmament. Sadly, geocentrism didn’t figure out Newton’s Switcheroo, so they are trying to shoehorn geocentricity into the cosmological model of the dominant paradigm of modern science: The sun is vastly more massive than the earth, our sun is one of billions of suns, and the firmament is the empty medium of space in which the stars and planetary bodies move.
As crazy as it sounds, there is also a Flat Earth movement that is very confused by thinking that they believe the Bible and Geocentricity. Flat Earth is just stupid. It’s an example of what happens when people who have no discernment, probably because they are not born again believers, try to handle the teachings of the Bible. They come to the scripture with an agenda and they willfully bend the meanings to fit their desired outcome. Literal and figurative get switched, and you end up with a cosmology that is neither Biblical nor can account for modern scientific observations.
Matty’s Paradigm is neither Geocentrism, Geocentricity nor Flat Earth
The model of creation that I am proposing involves the creation of gravity on the second day. A specific point was chosen upon which God metaphorically set a compass (the drawing instrument, not direction finder) and drew a circle on the mass of water that was present. The central point of the compass, the focus, became the location of gravity, a singularity in current technical jargon. The circle describes the location of the firmament, a sphere of crystal that surrounds the cosmos, which is the location of God’s throne and the sea of glass.
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: (Proverbs 8:27)
This model has profound implications for our understanding of astronomy. It fixes a major flaw in the explanation of Kepler’s 1st Law, which science either avoids with glib dismissals or makes up fictional explanations for. What we have to bear in mind is a promise that God has made to us regarding what we will be able to learn about the universe and the earth:
Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 31:37)
God does not cast off the seed of Israel, therefore we cannot measure the heavens or know what in in the innermost parts of the earth.
Reality
We have to acknowledge that even though it seems as if we know a great deal about the stars, planets, distant suns and galaxies and such, there are no actual measurements of the distance to any of these heavenly bodies. There are no actual measurements of their mass. The reason that we have numbers for these properties is through the use of mathematics, and the math is based on certain assumptions.
The calculations are based upon the mathematics of gravity developed by Sir Isaac Newton. The mathematical construct of the universe that is in use today is based on a simple, unproven assumption: The Earth orbits the Sun.
If this is were the case, then the mass of the Sun is calculated using Newton’s Law of Gravity:
GMm/r^2
It is based on the following assumptions:
The Sun ‘s mass is therefore calculated to be enough to cause the orbit of the earth to take 365 days. There is a good explantion of the mathematical process used, here:
The first problem with this system is the main assumption: Earth does not orbit the sun. If we apply the same mathematics to the assumption that the sun orbits the earth, we get mass values for the planetary bodies that are smaller by a factor of 9.87E-12. This is called Matty’s Constant.
Secondly, this now affects our calculation of the distance to the Sun. This distance is calculated by knowing the distance to all of the other planets. This is done using parallax. This presents a problem, because the theory of parallax also depends on the idea that the earth and other planets orbit the Sun. It should be clear that the theoretical basis of the current understanding of the universe is based on assumptions that are unprovable. There are no actual measurements. Fortunately, however, this does not mean that the calculations and relative motions of the Sun, Moon and Stars are of no value. This is because we have Newton’s Inverse Square Law.
The Inverse Square Law is the best recipe for fudge in the universe. What it means is that in the heliocentric system the Sun is going to be 93 million miles away and have a mass of 1.989 × 10^30 Kg, but it can also account for a geocentric system where the Sun is much less massive. The gravitational effect on the Earth is the same, it is all relative.
We know that the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical significance. (Sir Fred Hoyle in Astronomy and Cosmology, 1975, p. 416.)
Matty’s Paradigm
An Earth centered cosmos is called Geocentric. However, because of the vast amount of baggage attached to the use of the word “Geocentric,” we’re just going to have to refer to our cosmological model as Matty’s Paradigm. The Sun, Moon and stars describe for us the signs and seasons. Stars are not distant suns. We don’t know what they are, and there is only one sun. The Earth does not have a daily rotation. The Sun and stars orbit either the Sun, which orbits the Earth, or they orbit the Earth/Sun system.
Early models of the Heliocentric solar system showed that the planets have elliptical orbits. This was not a feature of the Geocentric model at that time and this contributed to its rejection. Ellipses are orbits that are not circular, but watermelon shaped. Ellipses can be drawn but it requires that there are two foci, whereas a circle has only one focus. However, the Earth has an orbit of the Sun that is an almost perfect circle. The distance to the Sun does not vary. The other planets have elliptical orbits because they are affected by the gravity of both the Earth and the Sun.
Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
(Isaiah 45:7) KJV
The darkness that existed in the beginning (Genesis 1:1) was the absence of light. The darkness at the evening of the first day was the obstruction of light, shadow as opposed to void. This is why it had to have a new name: night.

Could climate change, or global warming, have anything to do with the fact that the Bible tells us that hell is increasing in size and will consume the earth?
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell (sheol), and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Deuteronomy 32:22)
Hell is a very confused mess these days. Most people are convinced that it is a myth that was invented by religion to ensure the compliance of uneducated people. A lot of folk think that is is a fun, exciting place where Satan is in charge, and where they will be able to enjoy carnal pleasure.
Satan is not in Hell. The Bible tells us that Satan, the Devil, walks the earth. His ultimate fate is to be cast into the Lake of Fire.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:8)
Hardly anyone believes that hell is at the center of the earth which is odd, because no one knows what the interior of the earth is made of for sure. The deepest hole ever drilled is The Kola Superdeep Borehole on the Kola Penninsular in Russia. The deepest borehole in the project, SG-3, reached 12,262-metre-long (40,230 ft) in 1989 and still is the deepest artificial point on Earth.
The earth’s radius, the distance from the earth‘s center to its surface, is about 6,371 kilometers (3,959 mi). So the deepest hole ever dug is only 1.9% of the radius of the earth.
The Kola borehole reached 12,262 m (40,230 ft) in 1989. The hole depth was expected to reach 13,500 m (44,300 ft) by the end of 1990 and 15,000 m (49,000 ft) by 1993.[5][6] However, because of higher-than-expected temperatures at this depth and location, 180 °C (356 °F) instead of expected 100 °C (212 °F), drilling deeper was deemed infeasible and the drilling was stopped in 1992.[4] With the projected further increase in temperature with increasing depth, drilling to 15,000 m (49,000 ft) would have meant working at a temperature of 300 °C (570 °F), where the drill bit would no longer work.
Why is the earth’s interior hot? What is the source of the magnetic field? What is the core made of? No one knows, and no one can find out, for God has promised:
Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord. (Jeremiah 31:37)
The Bible makes it perfectly clear that hell is down below in the earth and is very hot. However, hell was not made in the 6 days of creation. There was no reason for it. God created for 6 days and was satisfied with the result: it was good, very good. At some point after that there was a rebellion in heaven lead by Lucifer, or Satan, the Devil. Eventually The Devil and his angels were cast out of heaven to roam the earth. This is the origin of the serpent in the Garden of Eden who caused Adam and Eve to sin. The Devil and the angels that were cast out of heaven are the reason why hell was made.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:(Matthew 25:41)
It would seem that at least some of them went about on the earth making great wickedness and mated with human women to cause a race of giants, or Nephilim, to arise. These angels were cursed for this by being bound by God with unbreakable chains.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (Jude 1:6)
The angels were bound within the earth, and God’s anger burned so hot that the core melted. This is the origin of hell. God originally intended for humans to live forever, there was no death before sin. Our souls are immortal, but because of the curse of sin, our bodies are not. This is why we need a saviour. What happens when a person dies? If they know God, meaning that they are saved or born again, they go to be with the Lord. Be assured God doesn’t want you or anyone to go to hell:
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (Peter 3:9)
But the fact is that some will. If a person dies without ever repenting and accepting Jesus Christ, they die in their sin and there is nowhere else for the soul to go but to hell.
Therefore hell (sheol) hath enlarged herself, and opened up her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. (Isaiah 5:14)
Hell is growing larger on account of the number of souls that are continually being added to it. It will consume the earth. Any wonder that we are experiencing global warming?
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Isaiah 14:9)
It is time to admit that the nickle and diming going on about CO2 emissions, methane gas, deforestation and multitude of other issues that scientists like to latch on to are not the real cause of global warming. Hell is getting bigger.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
(Romans 1:18-23) ESV
