Genesis
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:
Genesis
1:9 ¶ And God said, Let the waters under
the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear:
and it was so. 10 And God called the dry
land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God
saw that it was good.
In the third
24-hour period, the water covered earth, under God’s authority and power, water
and land separated. Land appears above water which may clarify the condition of
the earth as being without form, and void
as the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters in verse two. Theoretical scientists suppose a primeval
earth with one super-continent and the rest covered by water. This continent is
called Gondwanaland, with another super-continent theorized for later call
Pangaea. Whatever the musings of scientists who ponder origins and original
things God has clearly here, through Moses, given us the separation of the
earth, the dividing of it, between land and sea.
Psalm
95:5 The sea is his, and he made it: and
his hands formed the dry land.
It will be
important for later to understand that theoretical scientists presume as much
or more water under the earth’s crust as above it, in the oceans.[1]
