Jos 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. Pray Talk about difference between the LORD recording spoken truth and narration Jos 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. Jos 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel. Joshua slide Isa 38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. talk about degrees with a compass and how this must refer to the sun retreading its path Stories in India, North America, and China that support the retread of the sun Sun circuit verses: Psa 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Psa 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. Psa 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Heaven circuit verse: Job_22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. Earth having a place: Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. Psa 99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. Isa 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isa 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. Isa 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 1 Earth hangs on nothing (it is the center of mass of the universe) – Job 26:7 - describe Slide 3 – explain it. Talk about west to east revolution and how it affects what we see, compared to heliocentricity. Notice also, this slide allows us to believe: Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? “Physical laws” are just ordinances (mutable laws) to God. This explains that miracles aren’t really miracles to God at all; they just look like that to us cuz we are restricted to our physics. This also shows that the earth dominates the physics of the heavens, not the other way around as we are taught in heliocentricity. Laws for God are immutable things, like His word: Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Lastly, believing the Book answers two common questions: 1) other life? other earths? God says in Gen. 1:1 “the earth”, meaning there is only one. There aren’t any others. Also, the earth is special and God specifically made it to house life. 2) multiverses? Based on Job 38:33, our one earth has physical dominion over one heaven. Hence, we have one heaven and earth i.e. one universe. Show Slide 4 and explain center of mass Show Slide 5 and explain Show Slide 6 and explain seasons and wobble of the universe (tilt of 23 degrees = death) Slide 7 shows the universe as it is today. Explain the shape of the gyroscope Show slide 8 for rotation Show slide 9 to explain HOW God may tilt using a “just weight” that tilts 23 degrees: Pro_11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. Pro_16:11 A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work. Talk about “the shepherd’s bag” in Scripture – 1 Sam. 17:40 (five smooth stones) Slide 10 – walk through Gen. 1:1 cf. 2 Peter 3:5-6 cf. Prov. 8:27 cf. Psa. 48:2, Isa. 14:1314, Eze. 28:14 Earth is an anagram of the heart, heart is fixed Psa_57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 2 Psa_108:1 A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Psa_112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. Need for double cone - Psa. 75:6-7 (north where God is must be accessible to all on the earth, just as the south where Hell is located is always beneath your feet). Notice, there is no hint that the water is moving. It is still. Stillness has to do with making a decision for or against God – Exo. 14:13 (look for salvation), Num. 9:8 (listen to the LORD’S command), 1 Kings 19:12 (still small voice) Exo 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Num 9:8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. 1Ki 19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 1Ki 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 1Ki 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 1Ki 19:13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 1Ki 19:14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 1Ki 19:15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: Slide 11 – Job 38:4-11, Gen. 1:2, 2 Peter 3:5-6, Job 38:30 Job_38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. Rev 4:6 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. 3 Job_41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. End of Gen. 1:2 (“the Spirit of God moved”) When God moves, He STIRS things up, causing them to move! – Jud. 13:25 Jdg 13:25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. Stirring – Exo. 35:21-22, Exo. 36:2, 2 Chron. 36:22, Hag. 1:14 Exo 35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD'S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. Exo 35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. Exo 36:2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: 2Ch 36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Hag 1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, Slide 12 – Gen 1:3-19 – firmament – solid and most dense physical substance – dictates our physics. could be what our spiritual bodies would be made out of (since you can tunnel through the universe with it). What a black hole actually is. Offer physics for after the message. – Psa. 19:1 Psa_19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. is of his power – Psa. 150:1, Job 26:12 terrible crystal – Eze. 1:22, 26; Dan. 12:3 4 “Confirm” vs. “infirm”: Con+firm = with density and stability, sure, together firm – God confirms covenants with us (God with man). So the firmament is a type of God confirming He will fix the universe In+firm = not dense or stable, vain, will perish – Gal. 4:13 (our flesh). God took all our infirmities on Himself to save us, so He could be all in all. Windows of Heaven and Lattice – Gen. 8:2, Song 2:9 Notice, God works from the INSIDE OUT. Connect to the types: Paradise (Slide 13) – admit this is spiritual imagination cuz I can’t find a scripture of when it was created but I do believe the Paradise in the earth is NOT the Paradise in Heaven today (i.e. there are two since things down here are patterns of things above – Heb. 8:5 Explain gulf having water – Psa. 18:15, 2 Sam. 22:16, Gulf of Mexico 2Sa 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. Psa 18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. Slide 14 – God kindles a fire (the pit) for the devil and his angels: Matt. 25:41, Jer. 17:4, Eze. 28:8 Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Jer_17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever. Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. Num 16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. Job_33:28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Eze_28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. Eze_31:14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. Eze_31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. 5 Slide 15 - Stirring of the Spirit of God pulls the fire to edges, leaving a bottomless open pit and the separation we see in the creation between Paradise and Hell. Notice that with this no matter where in Hell someone is they can look up and see paradise: Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. This explains why the core of the earth can’t be discerned to be liquid or solid; it is BOTH: Jer 31:37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. Slide 16 – Adam in Innocence (still spirit – has to choose) Slide 17 – He falls, spirit dies, God has to move to reach us when we are lost Slide 18 – the New Birth (Spirit of God works from the inside out to fight the old man) – explains 2 Cor. 4:6 2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. Slide 19 – Summation (First shall be last, last shall be first, God be all in all) 1Co_15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
