A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 2:10) KJV
Objects in space may be closer than they appear. Betelgeuse isn’t only around 25% closer to Earth than previously thought, but it’s also considerably smaller. Those aren’t our words, they’re from the popular science press (SciPop).

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
(Exodus 20:4) KJV
When we change our assumption from Heliocentric to Geocentrospheric it has an effect on the distance to stellar objects. This is because of the way that stellar parallax works.

Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
(Nehemiah 9:6) KJV
Galaxies, in terms of the scientific definition, don’t exist. The things that we call galaxies are ULM (unknown luminous matter), which consists of predominantly CFM (crystalline firmament material).

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV
The peer review driven popular science space narrative (SciPop) starts with the premise that the Bible is wrong and the Earth is billions of years old. It continues with the idea that stars are distant suns and galaxies.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
(Revelation 6:6) NKJV
When the sun is less massive than the Earth, planetary and stellar bodies have gravitational relationships with each other that have the same relative proportions, but at a different scale.

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) Good News Translation
Galileo was one of the first to popularize the idea that stars are distant suns. He was trying to explain why he couldn’t measure the stellar parallax that he predicted would be there if heliocentricity was true.

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
A standard belief among Christians is that God is faithful and true. He always keeps his promises. All prophecy has either been fulfilled or it will be fulfilled. Stars falling to Earth is unfulfilled prophecy.

There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
(Deuteronomy 33:26) New King James Version
Who rides the heavens to help you,
And in His excellency on the clouds.
The idea that God or his agents may physically visit the Earth by riding on a piece of heaven may seem ridiculous. However it appears that a section of firmament is used like an elevator to travel between heaven and Earth.

The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.
(Daniel 12:3) Good News Translation
Then God’s people will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!
(Matthew 13:43) Good News Translation
The creation of gravity and formation of the firmament was to establish a place, heaven, where God would dwell in perpetual light because the firmament is bright like the sun, as we see from Daniel.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
(2 Corinthians 12:2) NKJV
Given that the apostle Paul specifically refers to something called the third heaven it’s not a stretch to conclude that there must also be a first and a second heaven. We need to know what they are.
