THE BIBLICAL FLAT EARTH & WATERS ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT

WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN TO THE WORLD if its billions of inhabitants could read—in the latest science journal—about a massive body of water sitting over our heads? Just ponder that for a moment. What if we all clearly understood that God, by His divine holiness, once judged our forefathers for their wicked schemes by opening up a window in the firmament and drowning them all? Furthermore, what if they understood God’s awe-inspiring divine mercy, in that He promised never again to open up that very window and drown His beloved creation, despite her endless thirst for wickedness? And yet look around at our world today and watch as the celebrity leaders of our own culture and their hoards of mindless followers cock their heads back and mock the Holy One who keeps their hearts beating.

When friends and loved ones find out that I’ve returned to the Biblical model of a flat, stationary earth, some have actually linked me with NASA brochures, as though two-decades of education have failed me, with my indoctrination training not nearly so completed as previously thought, which is true from both angles. They’ll send me links to satellite imagery and the ISS live feed. And when they further learn, to their absolute horror, that it was a result of watching that very footage that caused me to see the lie for what it really is, they’ll hold their head high and ask: What does any of this matter to my salvation?

See, this is what happens when the church surrenders its own teachings to the Masonic Elite, all in an attempt to please men and hold their own identity up to the standard of those University degrees which the Masons pat them on the head with, rather than the standard of God’s word and what He has revealed to us of His creation. I’ve heard it before, and tirelessly, from the Elite’s disciples, “Science is a pursuit of truth, and it’s based on innocence.” Mm-hmm… this is coming from centuries of men, names we can all recite, who’ve devoted their entire lives to making a mockery of the Bible. You can trust the people in lab coats, Noel. Keep popping their pills, injecting their vaccines, and drinking their fluoride. Interesting how, after 400 years of Copernican reign, a lot of people end up not knowing where they live. And a lot of people end up going to hell. We’ve become a stupid people. Our home address, which mailbox we’re pulling information from, it matters.

It matters because, little known fact, this is exactly what the Bible teaches.

“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water.” 2 Peter 3:5

Firmament Gen 1.6

THE FLOODGATES OF THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED

“We Christians must be different from the philosophers [i.e. scientists] in the way we think about the causes of these things. And if some are beyond our comprehension (like those before us concerning the waters above the heavens), we must believe them and admit our lack of knowledge rather than either wickedly deny them or presumptuously interpret them in conformity with our understanding.” – Martin Luther.

In the very first chapter of the Bible, Genesis 1:6, Moses introduces one of the greatest controversies in the church today, as faith is concerned: “And God said: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

This is what we writers might call a plot point, because only several chapters later Moses throws an unexpected plot-twist into the narrative: “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month – on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.”

If you’ve read my first two entries in this series, “The Biblical Flat Earth & the Firmament” and “The Biblical Flat Earth & Heaven’s Place above the Firmament,” I hope I was, so far, able to deliver with clarity the Hebrew scribes and prophets’ belief in an earth that was created within an enclosed system. You can see in the model provided that the mysterious Great Deep sits below our continental shelf, and is what I believe causes our tides, not the moon. And notice that nowhere in this narrative does Moses claim the world was drowned out by clouds or melting ice. There’s a huge difference between those common beliefs and a floodgate.

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2

Notice here that God has not yet separated the waters above with a solid firmament, nor elevated the formless earth from the Great Deep below. It’s all basically just one big bucket of water. Yet even still, before God separates the water above from below, and days before He even gets around to creating the sun and the moon or the stars above, he fills the bucket of water, the very ocean the Spirit of God was moving upon, with light.

“3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”

Our God is an awesome God.

“When He established the heavens, I was there; When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep.” Proverbs 8:27 (ESV)

THE WATERS ABOVE ARE A HOLY WATER

Admittedly, critics will claim I’m reaching here, but is it, in any way possible, that the waters above—being in the same neighborhood as the heavenly realm—have not yet been tainted by the stench of wickedness and sin that bursts forth from the hearts of men and corrupts everything underneath the dome? Was the opening of the floodgates during Noah’s deluge a cleansing rain? I don’t know; it’s just something I’ve been thinking about lately. Consider what I previously outlined in “The Biblical Flat Earth & Heaven’s Place above the Firmament,” how Scripture details the foundation of God’s throne as being over the firmament and its waters, and then take note of John, who specifically describes a crystalline sea before the throne of God.

“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.” Revelation 4:6

It’s clearly a holy water.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” Revelation 15:2

I liken this transparent sea before the throne of the Almighty—wherein God walks the circle of the sky (our firmament)—to the words of Isaiah, when he described God looking down upon the circle of the earth and its inhabitants as tiny grasshoppers. Similarly, are the Saints in Heaven presently looking down through the great glassy sea, through the stars in the firmament, to the earth below? I’d like to think they are.

“It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” Isaiah 40:22 (NASB)

SO WHERE ARE THESE FLOODGATES, YOU ASK.

It’s a good question, one which the ancients considered in great detail. The same people who built the Great Pyramids and Hanging Gardens of Babylon and Stonehenge and so many other incredible feats of engineering looked to the Milky Way, and when they spoke about the windows in the heavens, this is what they were implying. The Milky Way. Establishment Scientists tell me the glorious milky-white bar in our night sky is an outer rim to our galaxy or something along those lines, some quadrillion miles away, give or take a few million. I don’t really know, and I don’t care. I don’t pay attention to that crap anymore.

When the Young-Earth Creationists remind you that all major cultures across this “globe” of ours speak of a great catastrophic deluge in our recent history and the man who narrowly escaped on a boat with his family, they like to leave out some of the finer details, like universally taught windows in heaven, prescribed as a clear cause in the Bible, and the geocentric earth enclosed under a firmament that the floodgates filled, also talked about in the Bible. Call it superstition if you must, but I’ve succumbed to the belief that the ancients had a better grip on the reality of creation than today’s Masonic Institutions and the globalist MSM, especially the writers of the Bible. It is my personal observation that the bulk of humanity will march right off a cliff, even into the apocalypse, and willingly, if the MSM should lead them there. But I digress.

This leads me into my final point.

Bible Flat Earth

MANKIND IS WILLINGLY IGNORANT OF GOD’S CREATION aka THE GREAT DELUSION

“3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3: 2-7(KJV)

Please take careful note of “and the earth standing out of the water, and in the water,” as a direct reason why scoffers in the last days walk after their own lusts, being “willingly ignorant.” What Peter is speaking of is the Great Delusion, which Paul first mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2. It is no coincidence, the way these two passages parallel.

“9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”  2 Thessalonians 2: 9-12

Notice how the Great Delusion comes first, then the lie (cough, NASA), so that men may believe the powerful signs and wonders that serve the lie. God allows mankind’s delusional behavior, despite our better senses. Satan comes along and fills that delusion with lies. Those marked with the Holy Spirit are able to swim upstream against the downward current of the Great Delusion, even if they do not accept the Biblical account of creation, but what the delusion does is it gives justification for the individual to reject God and pursue his own wickedness according to the lie. This is what Darwinian Evolution and the Heliocentric worldview do amazingly well. They LIE, LIE, LIE! These two worldviews are not of God, our Father of Light, as His very words disagree with them, and need to be dismissed by any true Bible believer.

There’s more to come in my series. In the meantime, let me leave you with one final scripture verse. It comes from Paul in his Epistle to the Romans.

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20
