A sheep in wolf's clothing.
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
(Isaiah 40:22) ESV
Flat earthers claim that the use of the Hebrew word chug, for circle, in Isaiah 40:22 means that the Earth has to be a flat disk. The idea being that if the Earth was a sphere then the Hebrew word for ball should have been used.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
(2 Timothy 1:8-9) KJV
We use empirical observations & physical evidence to show that the Bible is an accurate description of the universe. We can now answer the question: If God is love, why would He send people to hell?

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
(Revelation 21:3-4) ESV
God comes down from heaven to dwell with humanity, but not on Earth because it’s gone. God takes up residence on the site of the original singularity, created on the second day, the original foundation of the Earth.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
(Isaiah 34:4) KJV
Is the phrase “the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll” flowery poetic language or accurate physics? If the firmament is a rigid sphere of crystal on the edge of space, it’s accurate physics.

No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
(John 3:13) NKJV
If no man has ascended up to heaven, except Jesus Christ who came down from heaven, then we have a few questions to ask… For instance:
Continue reading “No One Has Ascended to Heaven”
Well, well, well. What do we have here? Could it be that the windows of heaven is not just flowery poetic language? If heaven is a sphere of crystal on the edge of space like a sea of glass, which was used to separate the waters above from the waters below during creation, then if portals in it opened water would pour through.
Just imagine, this could be as if large sections, similar to the one that God was riding on in Exodus 24, slid to the side to allow the water through. My goodness, when they slid back into place it could have caused a shower of tiny rolled glass beads to fall, along with grains of shocked quartz as it slammed into place, and other extra-terrestrial elements like Iridium. If it fell just as the 40 days and nights of rain ended then it might be deposited as a thin layer all around the world marking the boundary between one sedimentary sequence and another.
Oh, wait, we have exactly that. It’s called the Iridium Anomaly.
I guess this means that the idea that heaven is a sheet of layered crystal that encloses a spherical universe is actually a predictive testable hypothesis.
Who knew?
This is the end of the rabbit trail. Thanks for following it!
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.
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…
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.
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.
Now we are able to unravel this confusing little mess.
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.
