A sheep in wolf's clothing.
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
( Genesis 7:11 ) KJV
The Hagerman horse quarry fossils allow us deduce the time of year of the flood: late winter/early spring. Genesis says it was the second month, the seventeenth day of the month. That’s the same thing.
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
(Deuteronomy 32:22) KJV
This is the first time that the word Hell appears in the Bible. It starts with the description of hell melting the Earth from the inside out. This is so graphic and the meaning is so obvious that it doesn’t need any interpretation but we can give it a context. It also happens to be an explanation of the beginning of hell and why it began: God’s anger.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
(John 1:5) NKJV
It got dark at the end of the first day. This is another way in which we can see how God the Son has been manifested as three distinct identities.

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
(James 3:13-18) KJV
Preparing sermons is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. On one hand, if you’re a real, Holy Spirit called preacher, you’re already prepared. If you find yourself in front of a group of people you start preaching.

before God made the earth and its fields
(Proverbs 8:26) Good News Translation
or even the first handful of soil.
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
(Proverbs 8:26) King James Version
IF Eden was at the top of a mountain that filled the whole Earth, and a river from Eden watered the surface of the whole land, THEN the concept of elevation will be found in the scriptural context.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
( Genesis 1:6 ) KJV
If we are going to use deductive reasoning to understand what the Bible is teaching us about creation then we have to be willing to accept what we deduce. In science the idea is to use inductive reasoning to make everything work out the way you want and promote the Star Trek universe as real.
Deduction requires that we know the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. The major issue that is going to confront us is this: what is the firmament?
This is an issue that Christianity has refused to deal with. In part because it appears that science has rendered the firmament as below mythological status, it’s just a joke. This has had a very interesting effect on Bible versions. In general they are written so as to make it seem as if the issue does not exist.
I got saved in July 1997. Starting in 1998 I began to read the Bible. The one which I had at the time was a New International Version. I loved it. I became so interested in the Bible that I began collecting Bible versions. I went to used book stores and went directly to the Bible or Religion section to see if there were any Bible versions that I had not seen before.
At this time, 1998-99 I was struggling to understand today’s passage. The reason I struggled was that I was using Bible versions that do not contain the truth. My favorite version at the time, the NIV, translates the passage as such:
And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
( Genesis 1:6-8 ) NIV
This is how the New Living Translation renders it:
Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. God called the space “sky.”
And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.
( Genesis 1:6-8 ) NLT
The English Standard Version:
And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven.c And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
( Genesis 1:6-8 ) ESV
The New American Standard Version:
Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
( Genesis 1:6-8 ) NASB
The Holman Christian Standard Version:
Then God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water.”i 7So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so. God called the expanse “sky.” Evening came and then morning: the second day.
( Genesis 1:6-8 ) HCSB
This is just a small sampling. I can’t really remember my thought process at the time but I was concerned that there was something important in the description of the second day that I was missing. In every Bible version I found I looked to see what Genesis 1:6 said. There are words, as you can see, like vault, space, expanse and we are told that this is the sky. It didn’t make sense to me.
At the time I was the Custodian at a large Presbyterian Church in a major college town in North Carolina. They were not able to help me. However, as I made my rounds every day with my trash can and my vacuum cleaner I noticed that there was one particular lounge type lobby area, parlor, in which there was a large leather-bound King James Version on a table stand. I thought it wouldn’t hurt to take a look to see what it said.
Firmament.
The more conservative a Christian you are the more likely you are to pound a Bible. If you’re pounding a Bible then it will be the King James Version.
Conservative Christians have an extensive rationalization for why the KJV is the only Bible you should use. It’s tedious and unnecessary. If your Bible doesn’t have the word firmament in Genesis 1:6 then it’s not a real Bible.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:1-2) KJV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) deduce the true nature of water. It’s safe to say, which is to say it’s Biblically accurate, that water existed before God began the work of creation.

To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
(1 Chronicles 1:19) NKJV
Peleg’s small and unremarkable appearance in the Bible allows us to resolve the expansion of hell, tectonic plates, evolution, distribution of biodiversity, and the fulfillment of prophecy with a theory of gravity.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) NKJV
Popular Science (SciPop) is designed to make it so that you can’t see the wood for the trees or a tree for the woods. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s part of God’s will that we call the strong delusion.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
(Genesis 6:5) KJV
A new month, a new epoch or major event to discuss. We don’t really have much description about life on earth after the fall of man and up to the flood. The great flood of Noah is by far the most significant event in earth’s history. It begins the era that we are going to call Pangaea.
