48) The Firmament Shields The Earth From Destruction

Evening – Beginning of Day 2

The Firmament

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

“In the beginning God created / bara the heaven and the earth.”

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. 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 / creation

I also am the last / destruction…

I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I…

Thus saith the LORD…There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.” (Isaiah 48:12-22)

If we don’t get Creation right, we’ll be sitting ducks when the Mystery of Iniquity is “revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit / energy of his mouth [and God said…and it was so], and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming [the last morning defeating the works of darkness]. (II Thessalonians 2:7-8)

“And the earth was / came to be without form, and void; and darkness / works of evil was upon the face of the deep / abyss, formlessness, chaos.” (Genesis 1:2)

No point is more central than this, that empty space is not empty. It is the seat of the most violent physics.

Even the vacuum – defined as “empty space devoid of matter” has a vastly complex structure composed of energy changes/oscillations, having the same properties as a particle, such as spin or polarization in the case of light, energy.

This is consistent with energy =mass when acted upon the infinite force c2. And sure enough, that is calculated into the equation.

Summing over all possible oscillators of energy at all points in space gives an infinite quantity which is actually something, with measurable effects on the world around us. And that would be:

” there is but one God, the Father / Authority, of whom are all things,” (I Corinthians 8:6)

Major impact events have significantly shaped the early history of the Earth…Such impacts could have included strikes by asteroids hundreds of kilometers in diameter, with explosions so powerful that they vaporized all the Earth’s oceans. In 2000, Discover Magazine published a list of 20 possible sudden doomsday scenarios with an impact event listed as the most likely to occur.

“And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters / flood / materialized force of destruction.” (Genesis 1:2)

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….[this] embodies the general aboriginal idea of creation which prevailed in the New World.”

“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 1:7, 2:6-7)

According to popular Christian educators, this word “firmament” means simply “expansion.” It denotes the space or expanse like an arch appearing immediately above us. They who rendered raki’a by firmamentum regarded it as a solid body. The language of Scripture is not scientific but popular.

This explanation by Bible Study Tools dictionary is simply appalling and utterly lacks the basic knowledge of Physics.

Focus! What just happened?!

God’s next action MUST be interpreted in this context. This is just basic 5th grade book reporting on themes driving the plot.

The firmament is God’s combat survival perimeter over the earth. Think Israel’s Iron Dome.

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.

“These are the generations [each one following the previous one] of the heavens and of the earth when 1) they were [first] created, 2) [then] in the day[time] / creative intervals that the LORD God [re]madethe earth and the heavens [following nightly destruction by the Adversary].” (Genesis 2:1)

The firmament is one of at least three heavens.

The first is God’s dwelling place, which, since he fills all as the Singularity, conferring this likeness onto his only begotten son when he took dominion over sin and death, is what is called the universe but is reality the multiverse, and pre-existed so is not included in Genesis 1:1.

The second heaven is the atmosphere around earth, described in Genesis 1:1 and Isaiah 66:1-2: “Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool…For all those things hath mine hand made.”

The third heaven is called paradise, and is the place typically thought of as heaven. Redeemed human souls go here after death, are resurrected into new bodies to live forever. “hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7).

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 רָקַעwhich 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 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 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 / 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 projects this ancient depiction of hyperdimensional defenses eliminating offensive weapons.

The definitive scientific explanation of the firmament was made in 1958 when 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”.

Subsequent studies providing irrefutable evidence of their doomsday effect on Earth validate the biblical account of hyperdimensional pure energy, AKA stars and sons of God surrounding Earth, as incoming missiles.

And earth’s encircling magnetic field making an impenetrable barrier validates the biblical firmament protecting Earth.
