Principle VI

The Firmament is on the Edge of Space

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

(Psalms 150:1) KJV

We use multiple lines of investigation including scripture, empirical observations, theoretical models, and physical evidence to deduce the presence of a sphere of crystal on the edge of space.

The Star of Bethlehem

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

(Matthew 2:1-2) KJV

The last physical phenomena of world-wide, or at least region-wide, significance in the recent epoch is the most famous one of all, the star of Bethlehem.

Firmament 2

Mindmap of the sequential development of the firmament rabbit trail

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

(Genesis 1:14-17) KJV

Key words:

  • sun/moon/stars

Synonymy

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

(Matthew 24:29) KJV

The third axiom of popular science (SciPop) is stars are distant suns and galaxies. It’s part of Galileo’s Bluff, wishful thinking, an inductive rationalization of the premise that stars are distant suns and galaxies.

A Woman Clothed with the Sun

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

(Revelation 12:1) KJV

It appears that Women were created in heaven on the fourth day. This is a big deal. The significance of it becomes apparent when we consider that man was created on Earth on the sixth day.

Heavenly Bodies and Entities

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

(Isaiah 55:9) KJV

Heavenly entities are sentient beings. Nehemiah tells us that they’re worshiping the LORD. Who are we to say they aren’t? If entities are gravitationally bound, then this is the distinction between entities and bodies.

The Host of Heaven

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

The heaven of heavens is the firmament (third heaven). The “the host of heaven,” is everything above the atmosphere. We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) discern between heavenly bodies (inanimate) and entities (sentient).

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

(Revelation 21:19-20) KJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have been reviewing the development of Physics in the 20th Century. We got to the conundrum of what’s stopping the universe from collapsing under the force of its own gravity.

Quantities aren't really quantities, even if we give them names. Words define the thing, even though the thing may be unknown.

The Babylonian Language

The king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief official, to select from among the Israelite exiles some young men of the royal family and of the noble families. They had to be handsome, intelligent, well-trained, quick to learn, and free from physical defects, so that they would be qualified to serve in the royal court. Ashpenaz was to teach them to read and write the Babylonian language.

(Daniel 1:3-4) Good News Translation

Newton gave mainstream science (SciPop) the math it needed to remove Earth from the center of the universe, and hell from the center of Earth. His work is based on bold guesses. They were wrong.

Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

(Job 9:9) KJV

The Bible doesn’t describe a heliocentric system, but that’s okay because we don’t observe heliocentricity. It’s a theoretical interpretation of the empirical geocentrospheric reality: it’s imaginary.
