The Firmament – Psalms 19:1 by Rob Skiba

This was a post done by Rob Skiba. He has a couple of sites. TestingtheGlobe.com and robschannel.com. Please check them out.

“I just did another really in-depth study of Scripture and after looking at multiple English translations, translations in other languages and of course the Hebrew and Greek, I am more convinced than ever that the Bible is a flat Earth book. There’s simple no way “around” it (pun intended).

And the Firmament truly is the key. It’s what seals the deal (in more ways than one). Unquestionably, the thing was hard (Job 37:18), firm (Proverbs 8:28), supporting the waters above (Genesis 1:6-8; Psalm 148:4), attached to the Earth (Amos 9:6), within which YHWH placed the sun, moon and stars (Genesis 1:14-19; Psalm 19:1-6) and upon which His throne sits (Ezekiel 1:26; Isaiah 66:1). Clearly, this is a VERY important issue to YHWH (Psalm 19:1).

The only model that accommodates every aspect of the Firmament is the circular, enclosed world model. The only way around this is to grossly misrepresent the Scriptures, yanking the true meanings of the words used out of context and fantasizing about definitions for those words, which are not even remotely supported by the text (or the historical contexts in which the Scriptures were written). That’s just a fact. Take it or leave it.

But if you think the Firmament is just the “expanse” of air, gases and the vacuum of space, I’m sorry but it would appear that you have a massive case of denial, piled atop a huge mountain of cognitive dissonance, because there is NO WAY to force such a meaning onto the words used to describe the Firmament in Scripture. To state otherwise is to prove you haven’t really looked into the subject and you are just desperately trying to cling to a paradigm that is foreign to the Holy Spirit inspired texts of Scripture. Whether looking at it in English, Greek or Hebrew, the language used in all three agrees – it is an impressive, hard structure attached to the Earth, housing the sun, moon and stars within it.

A while back, Jim Staley wrote a post about FE. It was very well written – and remained neutral. His primary point in that post was that he believed this was all a test. Among other things stated (concerning the tests), I’d say we really ARE being tested: Are we going to believe YHWH’s Word or not? For me, everything we think we know about the cosmos must be re-evaluated in light of Scripture. And I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ll take the Word of YHWH over the words of men any day of the week (Romans 3:4) – and ESPECIALLY over the words of NASA.

If you’ve never done so before, I’d like to encourage you to do an in-depth study just on the Firmament, because it IS a topic that’s important to YHWH. His prophets and scribes wrote quite a lot of things describing this amazing structure (Psalm 19:1).

I also want to give a shout-out to Zen Garcia, who HAS done some amazing research on this topic. I highly recommend you check out his work on the Firmament.”

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.
