Knowing how the firmament is constructed lets us interpret scripture and account for empirical observations of the cosmos, including 90% of the mass of the universe that mainstream science (SciPop) can't find.
The Foundations of Heaven
Hypothesis 31
The core accretion model (Hypothesis 1) may be expanded to include the formation of a second series of strata which became the firmament, a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space.
CSI: Hebrew
Searching for meaning in the original Hebrew presents a problem of the variety that makes us wonder if the Theologians of old had a clue, and, if they did, did they figure that they could fudge it because no one would notice?
Foundations of Sapphires
The firmament was originally composed of many more layers than it is now. One layer in the midst transformed into something like obsidian, completely black, and melted causing the inner layers to separate.
The Core Accretion Model
They key to understanding the inception of gravity as the creative act of the second day is the synchronicity between stretching out the heavens and establishing the foundations of the Earth. One command did both.
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.
Firmament 10
It would appear that "the foundations of heaven" and "the foundations of the wall of the city" are the same thing. Are the firmament and the foundations of heaven the same thing?
September 24th
The last physical phenomena of world-wide, or region-wide, significance in the recent epoch is the most famous one of all, the star of Bethlehem. It has a direct connection to our doctrine of the firmament.
April 27th
The properties of Jasper and Jacinth give us two confirmations of our hypothesis that gravity was created on the second day. They also confirm that the sun was created on the fourth day.
April 26th
The worldwide network of telescopes used by mainstream science (SciPop) to image M87* have constructed a picture of a piece of Obsidian glass approximately 11 feet wide at a distance of 17,364 light years.
