This discrepancy may be due to a culture’s linguistic textual documentation and/or tradition of their respective time. Though some depictions above show them (the Sun and the Moon), except for the stars, just below it. We are told by the ancients, and their Scriptures of Holy Writ, that the Sun, Moon and stars are in it, or just below it. Because its job is, or was, to separate the waters in the heavens from the waters below, with the Earth settled in between. We know that it isn’t made from water itself, at least not according to various creation stories. But exactly what is this dome made out of, and what is its function? There are some speculations. Many other cultures, although not included above, also viewed the Earth, with its dome, as pictured above. The Egyptians, the Nurse, Hindu, Inca, Navajo, and the Hebrew depiction… Similarly, a recent discovery of an ancient stone depicting a flat Earth also solidifies the widespread belief of a disk-shaped Earth surrounded by a dome, as seen in the pictures below… Moreover, many cultures outside of the Bible spoke of a firmament/dome since the beginning of time. The following two photos are in reference to the word “breadth” as found in the Strong’s Concordance. The planets are not what they are telling us. Space does not exist as they are telling us. All well-informed flat Earthers believe that the Earth is a circle. 4116 comes from 4111 – “Flat.” And 4111 means to “ shape” and “mold.” However, ball Christian Earthers use Isaiah 40:42 – where it says “The circle of the Earth” as a rebuttal against flat Earthers. In Revelation 20:9 and 21:16, the Apostle John mentions “The breadth of the Earth.” Inquisitive minds want to know, why the word, “breadth?” Strong’s English – Hebrew – Greek concordance cites that the word “breadth” actually means “flat.” According to Strong’s Concordance, the number 4114 comes from 4116. There are at least 200 verses, some say more, that proclaim a flat geocentric Earth, even the last book of the Bible mentions it. Many well intended Christian apologists claim that the Bible never mentions a flat Earth. So, what gives here? For the purpose of this chapter, I shall refer to the firmament as a “dome.” I am doing this because the Hebrew word for firmament comes from the word “Raqiya” – which means “an expanse” “an visible arch of the sky.” The root word is “Raqa” – “to overlay,” “ to expand.” They often pictured it flat, with a firmament (like a tent) covering the Earth. However, in the past the ancients, although knowing it was a circle, and not a globe, depicted the Earth differently. This picture became known by the title that was given to it: “The Blue Marble.” More on the “images” and “pictures” of the alleged “blue marble” in chapter nineteen. Twenty six years later, on December 7th, the Apollo 17 mission took the following picture. On October 24, 1946, the V2 Rocket #13 became the first man-made object to take a photograph of the Earth from space. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth. 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. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth: and it was so. 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 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 said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
