Biblical understanding about the Firmament

I have been enjoying Psalms and I believe that understanding about the firmament is something every believer needs.

Psa 19:1  For the choir director. A Psalm of David. The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse “firmament” is declaring the work of His hands.

Psa 19:2  Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. Psa 19:3  There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Psa 19:4  Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, Psa 19:5  Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. Psa 19:6  Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

This is one of the best chapters in Scripture for flat earth. To my understanding, only 2 things were made by God’s hand. The firmament and man. Everything else was spoken into existence. The God takes great pride in the firmament. This thing is huge. I personally believe we have no idea how wide the earth really is. The priests of science or scientism says 8,000 miles but I think it could be 12 to 30 thousand miles wide. How high it is? Who knows.

Watch this on the firmament, very interesting, only 2 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANKne7aWNAs

Anyway, back to Psalms 19:2-6. This is loaded with biblical cosmology information.

People even believers are always asking me why flat earth even matters. Because it’s truth. Without truth, which is the first part of our spiritual armor, which is needed to: Eph 6:11  Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

The firmament: Gen 1:14-18  Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.

So the sun, moon and stars are in the firmament and He called this Heaven. Gen 1:8  God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

In Psalms 19:1-2 The heavens are telling of the glory of God and are laying out the first part of the Gospel. God exists.  Rom 1:20  For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Psa 19:2  Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

In Psalms 19:5-6 The Sun which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

The sun is running a course and this circuit is from one end of heaven to the other. The sun circles the entire created heavens.  Everything that exist feels the sun’s heat.

In conclusion, everything created is in or under the firmament and of course God’s throne is setting on top of it.

Psa 104:3  He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind;

Isa 40:22  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.

Remember, what the apostle Paul said, "but test (or prove) everything; hold fast what is good!" (1 Thes 5:21 ESV)
Christians should not be afraid of investigating for the truth.
Remember as well, Eph6:12 For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. These forces are running and ruining our world. They are in control of governments, industries and most people. You have to deal with this fact. Why hide the flat earth. Because Satan wants evolution and needs this spinning ball thing flying through space. He can't have people knowing there is a firmament over a motionless flat earth. That screams God made it. So he brain washes the people into believing a lie and we all bought the lie. This proves how effective Satan is at deceiving the nations. He has deceived even you and me. But God will allow us to see through Satan's lies if we will read and study His Word and observe His creation. Creation screams of the glory of God.

Please Note: I want everyone to understand that I do NOT agree with everything in some of these posts. So watch the videos, glean out the good and trash the bad parts. As believers, we are not going to agree on all things but should agree to love one another. It's the Lord's job to judge, not ours. Don't let anything disturb your faith. If something bothers you, take it to the Lord before you take any action. Sometimes it can take months before you can confidently move forward with something spiritual, even the flat earth. Remember: Col_3:17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

If you are making flat earth videos, please send me your video link just in case I missed it.
