1:6
¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament
in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and
divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were
above the firmament: and it was so. 8
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
The
firmament, heaven, or what we call our atmosphere and outer space, the heavens,
is a band dividing waters on earth from waters which must now exist in the furthest
reaches of space. I noted this previously although there is much more to be
discovered and one could predict that at the outermost distance in space there
should be quite a significant amount of water.
Psalm
148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens,
and ye waters that be above the heavens.
God
made the firmament and clearly expanded it creating the immense realm of space
we see around us. Modern theoretical scientists talk about this rapid expansion
of space but their starting point is not God’s creation but a god-like
inanimate object, the Singularity, previously mentioned, before what they call
The Big Bang.
If
the universe is 93 billion light-years (the distance light travels in one year)
across as some theoretical scientists suggest and we have no way nor, in this
life, ever will have a way to measure if this is true, then this happened very
rapidly, by God’s hand, in a day. So, the evidence these scientists observe to
come up with their atheistic theories, postulates, and conclusions are merely the
evidence of the handiwork of the God of the Bible.
First
there is the appearance of light, as theoretical scientists call the Photon
Epoch, then a rapid expansion of the universe. I am not certifying that what
scientists say is true when they make educated guesses nor do I mean to tie the
Bible into current scientific understanding, which is changing, but merely to
show that even theoretical science has dipped its toe into the pool of truth,
perhaps to take it out again or perhaps to immerse itself further in
understanding God’s actions in creation if they can just get past atheistic
determinism caused by their inner fear of God’s judgment.
Again,
I must repeat;
Psalm
19:1 « To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David. » The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork.
And
add;
Psalm
8:3 ¶ When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Psalm
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Notice
at the end of this day God does not say that it was good. There are things that
will abide in space above us in a short while (for us reading) that we must be
aware of.
Job
15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his
saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
Job
25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it
shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
Ephesians
6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians
2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of
the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
That
the heavens have depth and distance is clear. Imagine a curtain being stretched
out in a wind, with depth and distance.
Psalm
104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as
with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
