Flat Earth Bible Verses about Firmament.
Bible Verses about Firmament.
The word “firmament” is used to translate raqia, or raqiya` (raki’a), a word used in Biblical Hebrew. It is derived from the root raqa, meaning “to beat or spread out”, e.g., the process of making a dish by hammering thin a lump of metal. Firmament from the Vulgate firmamentum, which is used as the translation of the Hebrew raki’a . This word means “expansion.” It denotes the space or expanse like an arch appearing immediately above us. They who rendered raki’a by firmamentum regarded it as a solid body. We read of the sun rising and setting and the use of this particular word. It is plain that it was used to denote solidity as well as expansion. It formed a division between the waters above and the waters below (Genesis 1:7). The raki’a supported the upper reservoir of water(Psalms 148:4). It was the support also of the heavenly bodies (Genesis 1:14) and is spoken of as having “windows” and “doors” (Genesis 7:11, Isaiah 24:18, Malachi 3:10) through which the rain and snow might descend.
King James Dictionary – Firmament: Expanse or vault over the earth. And God said, Let there be a FIRMAMENT in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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. And God called the FIRMAMENT Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. ( Genesis 1:6-8 )
Genesis 1:1-31 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. …
Genesis 1:14-16 KJV: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide 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 firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.”
This verse says that the Sun, Moon, and Stars are “in” the firmament.
The creation of the firmament deals with the structure of our present heavens and Earth (Genesis 2:1) as opposed to the creation of the original heaven and Earth (Genesis 1:1). Apostle Paul says there are three heavens. Gen 1:6-7 KJV: “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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.” On the second day of the creation, the Lord God “divided” the waters (plural) of the great “deep” into two parts with a “firmament” separating them. According to Genesis 1:10, both the waters that were upon the face of the Earth and the waters which He placed ABOVE the firmament He called “Seas”. Gen 1:10 KJV: “And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.” Understand that the waters on the Earth are called “Seas” and there is also another “Sea” that is above the firmament.
Gen 1:20 KJV: “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” So the Sea above is on the outside of the firmament.
God’s throne is just above or on the firmament, the earth is His footstool.
Isaiah 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 like a tent to dwell in;

Exodus 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.
God’s throne may be in or above the Seas above the firmament: God’s throne in the sea.

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.
