Kingdom Come

Evening – Beginning of Day 2

The Firmament

There has been considerable debate over the translation of Gen1:1.

 

Much literature is intentionally ambiguous at its beginning, especially about a mystery, in order to draw the reader into the narrative. The Bible is no different. So the first chapters are either a gold mine for someone seeking to find the Creator God of the Bible, or a minefield for anyone looking to deny him.

“I am the first, I also am the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together…

I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I…Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel…There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.” (Isaiah 48:12-22)

“In the beginning God created / bara the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) 

“Heaven[s]”, like “water[s]” can reference the same entity in a singular or plural form due to the multiple nature of an essentially singular entity.

“And the earth was / came to be without form, and void; and darkness / evilwas upon the face of the deep / abyss, formlessness, chaos. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters / flood / materialized force of destruction.

 

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and…And God called the firmament [a section of] Heaven.”  (Genesis 1:2-3, 2:6-7)

The Popol Vuh, the only Mesoamerican religious book to escape the Spaniards’ destruction of native culture, preserves a report of this event.

“Over a universe wrapped in the gloom of a dense and primeval night passed the god Hurakan, the mighty wind [spirit]. He called out “earth,” and the solid land appeared….

It is worthy of notice that [this] embodies the general aboriginal idea of creation which prevailed in the New World. In many of them the central idea of creation is supplied by the brooding of a great bird [say, a dove?] over the dark primeval waste of waters.”

Whenever the term “made” is used, it describes forming something out of existing material that had previously been created by converting e=mc2, like a jar out of clay. As the account proceeds, we’ll discover that this is in fact what happened.

 

The firmament is one of at least three heavens: the other two being God’s dwelling place and the atmosphere around earth.

“These are the generations [each one following the previous one] of the heavens and of the earth when

1) they were created, 2) in the day[time] / creative intervals that the LORD God [re]made the earth and the heavens [following nightly destruction by the Adversary].” (Genesis 2:1) 

Job’s account of creation, which gives us much more detail than Genesis, solidifies (that’s a pun) this interpretation of a combat perimeter. The Hebrew noun for firm-ament, raqia רָקִיעַ, comes from the root verb raqa רָקַע which means “to stamp, hammer or beat out, indicating a solid, or at least impenetrable, vault over the earth.

“Has thou with him spread out the sky / heaven, which is strong, and as a molten [metalic] looking glass?” (Job 37:18)

Even modern mirrors reflect via a coating of elemental silver.

The account of Samson’s destruction of his enemy – at the price of the destruction of himself and everyone around him – provides a concrete (ha ha) example of the form and function of the firmament as a roof forming a protective barrier from incoming elements that would harm anyone on the ground.  In arid climates that don’t need protection against snow nor even much against rain, flat roofs provide another story to the house as needed.

“Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice…the house was full of men and women…and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women…

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up…And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein.” (Judges 16)

In the context of the hyper dimensional battle going on at this time, one way God could have made an impenetrable wall firmament is by lining up hyperdimensional soldiers to make a defensive shield wall, like the invincible Roman army.

It is reasonable to deduce that the Romans were taught this military strategy by their gods.

• “And there was war in heaven / οὐρανός/ Our-anos, the Greek primordial deity equivalent to the Hebrew Most High God Ani.
• Michael and his angels fought against the dragon…and his angels…” (Revelation 12:7)

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the/this heaven to divide the day from the night;” (Genesis 1:14)

We must interpret this statement in the hyperdimensional context of Genesis 1, not recently asserted and never-proven materialism.

“And God [who IS light] made – spun off some of his Singularity into] two great lights;

• the greater light to rule the day 
• and the lesser light to rule the night 
• he made the stars also 

“To rule” requires intellect and executive action by sentient beings in order to exert control, direction, or influence.

“And God set them IN the firmament / shield of the heaven…to divide the light / force of creation from the darkness / force of destruction.” (Genesis 1:14-18)

When we connect “rule” with “divide light from darkness” we understand that these sentient hyperdimensional energy beings in the combat perimeter surrounding earth are “good” and “evil” beings.

“By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens;” (Job 26:13)

From the Online Etymology Dictionary: garnish (v.) to beautify, late 14c., “equip (a place) for defense; arm (oneself) for battle; prepare to defend,”

Consistent with pagan accounts of the gods, the apocryphal Book of Enoch describes the stars as a category of the celestial beings commonly referred to as angels, which have a plethora of material forms, not just humanoid.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host / hosts / tsaba’army, war of them.” (Genesis 2:1)

The Sumerian Enuma Elish validates the biblical account that the biblical firmament was formed with guards in order to block adversaries from space.

Marduk strengthened his hold on the vanquished gods, And turned back to Tiamat [chaotic & formless energy-mass stormy waters] whom he had bound…He split her like a shellfish into two parts: Half of her he sat up as the ceiling of the sky / firmament, He pulled down the bar [locked it closed] and posted guards [against his enemy.]

Modern warfare reflects this ancient depiction of hyperdimensional offensive and defensive weapons.

In 1958 the United States launched its first satellite 1,563 miles high for the express goal of investigating cosmic rays recorded on earth by American-born James Van Allen, called the “Father of Space Science”.

 

The radiation was a thousand times greater than anyone expected. It wasn’t of earthly origin, and it occupied two donut-shaped rings encircling the earth. “The outer belt is made up of billions of high-energy particles that originate from the Sun”.

 

Named in honor of their discoverer “the Van Allen Belts”, these validate the biblical account of pure energy sons of God fallen angels surrounding Earth as incoming missiles.

 

Modern physics validates the biblical firmament protecting Earth from their doomsday effect on Earth with the irrefutable evidence that such destruction would definitely occur were it not for earth’s encircling magnetic field making an impenetrable barrier.
