orientation – Matty (Headwind)

Beyond Einstein

And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,
and they will fight, each against another
and each against his neighbor,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,
and I will confound their counsel;
and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers,
and the mediums and the necromancers;
and I will give over the Egyptians
into the hand of a hard master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
(Isaiah 19:2-4) English Standard Version

Einstein is a manifestation of the sorcerers who counseled in the spirit of Egypt. Egypt failed. A lot’s happened in physics since Einstein, so let’s consider a major development: the discovery of the weak nuclear force.

Orientation Under and Above

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

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. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
(Genesis 1:6-8) ESV

The second clue to deducing the creation of gravity is from Genesis 1:6-8. Now for the first time creation has an orientation. This theme continues throughout scripture. Under and above are synonyms for up and down.

In Hades he Looked Up

And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’
(Luke 16:23-24) NKJV

The rich man, in hell, lifts up his eyes and speaks of his torment in flame. Here’s the thing: Abraham and Lazarus are also in hell, but they’re not in flame. This may be confusing, but it’s compatible with our model.

Hell is Below, Heaven is Above

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
(Job 11:7-8) KJV

Hell is down, deep and below; heaven is up, high and above. There are many examples in scripture which are consistent with this orientation. Hell is never referred to as above, heaven is never referred to as below.

Ascending and Descending

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
(Ephesians 4:9-10) KJV

If our souls start in hell then this life is our one chance to escape it forever. We’ve been given an opportunity to respond to the truth which has been revealed to us. No one has an excuse.

Above and Below

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
(Deuteronomy 4:39) KJV

A recurring theme in scripture is heaven above and Earth below. Orientation occurs for the first time on the second day. It’s an ordering of the universe which occurred in response to the creation of gravity.

Wisdom is Pure Protons

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
(James 3:17) ESV

When we look at the phrase the wisdom from above is first pure in Greek we see the occurrence of the word proton, which means first. We’ve drawn together the context of in the beginning with above.

Deducing Gravity

And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
(1 Samuel 17:49) KJV

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 parts to this logic:

The Point of the Compass

a drawing compass and the creation of gravity on the second day

Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
(Proverbs 8:25-27) ESV

We think of Earth as down and the sky as up. Heaven above and hell below. Whatever happened on the second day has to allow for the eventual formation of heaven and hell. These aren’t spiritual concepts.

The Foundations of Heaven

Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the sky rocked and quivered because God was angry!
(2 Samuel 22:8) Good News Translation

The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation stone was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh yellow quartz, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chalcedony, the eleventh turquoise, the twelfth amethyst.
(Revelation 21:19-20) Good News Translation

Knowing how the firmament is constructed lets us interpret scripture and account for empirical observations of the cosmos, including 90% of the mass of the universe that mainstream science (SciPop) can’t find.
