To Sink, Sank

Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.

(Ecclesiastes 10:18) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) connect the phrases “established the world” and “set fast the mountains” with sinking down. This is the second Hebrew word for gravity in the context of the second day of creation.

To Sink, Sink Down

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

(Job 38:4-7) ESV

The concept of sinking down occurs in the creation narrative when God laid the foundations of the earth. The meaning of this phrase is congruent with the creation of a gravitational singularity on the second day.

Deducing Gravity

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.

(Genesis 1:7) ESV

Gravity is fundamental to the working out of God’s plan for creation. So how on earth did we manage to deduce that gravity was created on the second day? There are three steps to this logic.

  1. Formless > Formed
  2. Orientation Under and Above
  3. Compass: Focus and Circumference

The Donkey’s Jawbone AKA Gravitational Time Dilation

Then he found a jawbone of a donkey that had recently died. He reached down and picked it up, and killed a thousand men with it. 16So Samson sang,

“With the jawbone of a donkey I killed a thousand men;
With the jawbone of a donkey I piled them up in piles.”

(Judges 15:15-16) Good News Translation

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) deduce a theory of gravitation in which planet Earth is about 6,000 years old while the remote regions of the cosmos are at least 2.19 billion years old – simultaneously.

Combining Scripture With Physics

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

(Genesis 1:2) ESV

There are three things in Genesis 1:2, besides the the deep, which describe the state of the universe before God said “let light be.” We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) use this to deduce that it was a zero-G environment.

The Written Word

The Gentiles do not have the Law; but whenever they do by instinct what the Law commands, they are their own law, even though they do not have the Law. Their conduct shows that what the Law commands is written in their hearts. Their consciences also show that this is true, since their thoughts sometimes accuse them and sometimes defend them. And so, according to the Good News I preach, this is how it will be on that Day when God through Jesus Christ will judge the secret thoughts of all.

(Romans 2:14-16) Good News Translation

Apparently the law of God has been written in our hearts. This may be taken in a variety of ways but we (that’s me and the Holy spirit) believe that the Bible exists as non-coding DNA in every cell of our bodies.

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the crust, mantle, great gulf and hell.

Be Ready Always

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

(1 Peter 3:15) KJV

Every Christian intellectual needs to understand the reasons why popular science (SciPop) doesn’t have hell at the center of the Earth or a great gulf of open space between the surface of hell and the lower mantle.

Clear as Crystal

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

(Revelation 21:9-14) KJV

Denying the truth about God so that we may live an immoral life with no guilt has a glitch: we all still have guilt. Faith in popular science (SciPop) leads to the agony of unconfessed sin.

Pure Gold

The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

(Revelation 21:16-18) NKJV

The streets of heaven are paved with gold so pure that it’s transparent. It would seem that this isn’t the same kind of gold that we have on Earth, but another element that’s not part of the known periodic table.

Dwelling in the Light

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:15-16) KJV

The reason for creation drives its purpose which, in turn, dictates its form and function. The logic of the broad narrative of scripture requires us to establish that God is light, light is in heaven, and heaven is above.
