Deep Calleth Unto Deep

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

(Psalms 42:7) KJV

Why were there no Cherubim or flaming swords necessary on the North, West and South of Eden? Eden was surrounded on three sides by unscalable cliffs over which four rivers flowed as waterfalls.

Highest Part: וְ֝רֹ֗אשׁ – Rosh

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) KJV

We have closed the loop on the idea that the topography of the dry land on the 3rd day was a mountain that filled the whole earth. The summit: Eden. We are also beginning to deduce earth’s original hydrological cycle.

The Whole Land

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

(Genesis 2:10-14) KJV

The Logic of Eden

  • IF a river from Eden watered the whole surface of the earth,
    • AND water flows downhill,
  • THEN Eden was the highest point on the surface of the earth.

Boiling Point

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 fountains of the great deep were created on the third day as the dry land was spread out over the waters of the deep. 1,656 years later they burst forth, allowing Noah’s flood to happen.

Before the Fall

Naiveian

For all we know the period after the end of creation and before the fall of man, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge, was a day. It could have been years. We aren’t told. We are told that the creation fell and began to decay.

Before this happened, however, the earth was a complex planet with a hydrological cycle which involved water of the great deep cycling through the interior of the earth.

The Nether Parts of the Earth

To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

(Ezekiel 31:18) KJV

Yesterday we took a detour to slam dunk relativistic time dilation as proof of the Bible. Today we’re going back to our discussion of a possible transition in the internal structure of the Earth when tehom became sheol.

The Great Deep

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

(Proverbs 8:24) KJV

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

Depths, is a translation of the Hebrew word tehom. The same word is translated elsewhere as the deep, the deeps, depths and the great deep. It occurs, for instance, in the account of Noah’s flood.

Is Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, one of the pillars of the Earth?

The Pillars of the Earth

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

(1 Samuel 2:8) KJV

The pillars of the earth” are incorporated into a 3D model of a spherical Earth in which they’re part of Earth’s internal structure. They don’t require us to believe that the Earth is flat.

The Foundations of the World

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

(Psalms 18:15) KJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) illustrate a difference between the Hebrew erets (earth), and tebel (world). The foundations of the world (tebel) refers to the crust and mantle which was exposed as the ocean floor.
