Blackish by Reason

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid: What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

(Job 6:15-17) KJV

When the Sun was created heat caused a layer of the firmament to melt. The residue blackened and the layers below it detached from the body of heaven and broke apart to form the stars.

On April 3rd we asked the question: Can we deduce a mechanism by which God can blacken the inner surface of the firmament and make available a vast quantity of crystalline material from which to make the stars? Since then we have made a careful study of the major contributions to the mainstream science cosmological model (SciPop), up to the discovery of black objects in space. We’re getting closer.

According to a study published in Nature, ‘Oumuamua – which means “pathfinder” or “scout” in Hawaiian – could have been ripped from a larger object due to gravity from a nearby star.

Isn’t that interesting… ‘Oumuamua could have been ripped from a larger body. At the end of the 3rd day God somehow made one layer of the firmament black in such a way that the layers below it separated from the main body. This material became the stars.

Blackish Blackness

I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

(Isaiah 50:3) KJV

We need to take a close look at the word translated as blackness in Isaiah 50:3. It has the same root as the word translated as blackish in the passage from Job 6 quoted above. This passage also has an interesting context for us to consider.

Blackness: קָדַר – qadar

• to be turbid, Job 6:16
  • II. to be black, dark.
  • III. part. act. mourning.
• Hiph.
  • I to darken, obscure, Eze. 32:7-8
  • II. to cause to mourn, Eze. 31:15
• Hithp.
  • to become darkened, 1 Ki. 18:45

Blackish by Reason of the Ice

The featured passage from Job 6 contains all of the elements necessary to give us the process which we are deducing. In it the blackness is provided by ice, a crystal, which melts when the temperature rises. The Hebrew word translated as ice gives us another clue. We find that, once again, the Bible is scientific and we have another piece of our predictive testable hypothesis 22.

Predictive Testable Hypothesis 22

• IF the Holy Spirit is the power of God to inspire human writers,
  • AND the physics of the universe has been written in scripture so that it’s
    1. obvious and
    2. invisible,
• THEN phrases or words that look like chemistry, physics, biology or geology should be treated as if they are chemistry, physics, biology or geology,
  • AND the science will be congruent with the scriptural context.

Frost, ice: קָ֑רַח – qerach

• to make (smooth) bald.
• Niph. to be made bald, Jer. 16:6
• Hiph. 1.q. Kal, Eze. 27:31
• Hoph. pass. Eze. 29:18 Hence the following.
  1. ice.
  2. cold.
  3. crystal, Eze. 1:22

That’s rather remarkable. We just went out on a hunch based on NASA’s first supposed picture of a black hole, and an image of a stellar object, and found our way all the way back to the firmament as described by Ezekiel. The connection we made was through Hebrew words for blackness and crystal.

And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.

(Ezekiel 1:22) KJV

The terrible crystal? How about this for a possible mechanism for the blackening of a layer of the firmament and the subsequent shedding of its inner layers:

1. At the end of the 3rd day into the beginning of the 4th
2. the firmament is a sphere of crystal with many concentric layers in a graduation of properties such as composition and density.
3. A gravitational singularity specific to the frequency of Hydrogen caused all free Hydrogen in the cosmos to accumulate into a body called the Sun.
4. Heat from the Sun caused a layer in the midst of the firmament to melt.
5. The layers below it fragmented providing material necessary to form the stars.
6. The residue on the inner surface of the firmament became blackened.

Now we have a mechanism for how the Sun formed, the firmament became black and the stars were made. This is the correct context and uses the correct words to relate back to Isaiah 50:3. All this is thanks to NASA’s black hole image. Which just happens to of be a piece of the blackish material which was shed from the firmament on the fourth day.

Salvation

1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
   • believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
2. confess your sin.
