Nearly 4 billion miles from Earth, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has detected evidence of a glowing wall of hydrogen at the edge of the solar system.
NASA detects glowing ‘hydrogen wall’ at edge of our solar system
December 26th
The enormous crowd may be more familiar to us as a great multitude, and the terrible persecution is where we find the phrase "great tribulation." They stand before the throne on the sea of glass.
Firmament 18
<< Previous | Next >> There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.(Deuteronomy 33:26) KJV Just another example of God using a section of the firmament as a movable platform. Just saying... Read more...
The Star of Bethlehem
As far-fetched as it may seem that the angelic host visited Bethlehem on the night of Jesus birth riding on a section of the brightly shining crystalline firmament, we shouldn't be surprised.

A space between: בֵּ֥ין – bayin
Dividing the water above the firmament from the water below below it required physical space. Likewise, dividing the light from the darkness isn't the alternation of day and night, it's also the their separation by a physical space.
Firmament: רָקִ֖יעַ – raqia
The Hebrew word translated as "firmament" is raqia. A simple definition is "expanse" so most translations render the meaning as "the expanse of the sky."
The Milk of the Word
We find that there are passages of scripture which, though appearing to be metaphorical, describe actual physical conditions or chemical reactions. These misunderstood passages are dismissed as flowery poetic language.If a baby needs milk to survive before it can tolerate solid food, has this been patterned after the processes which took place on the first and second days of the creation of the universe?
The Point of the Compass
We think of Earth as down and the sky as up. Heaven above and hell below. Whatever happened on the second day has to allow for the eventual formation of heaven and hell. These aren't spiritual concepts.
A Sea of Glass
Accepting the firmament as a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space solves many scriptural and physical problems. The King James Version is the only Bible from which an accurate cosmological model may be deduced.
