Your quote comes from which version of the Holy Bible?
1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. (Water/Firmament/water)
1:7 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. (water/Firmament/water) where is the other water beyond space?
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. (Matches my sapphire throne theory)
1:14 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:
1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
1:16 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. (2 great lights are miniscule if the NAZI version of the stars is true)
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, (supports geocentric model, purpose is giving light to earth)
1:18 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.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
I don't see the confusion in a clear reading of the most common translations of the bible. This was KJV and the dozen other versions I have access to including Greek Hebrew and my favorite, the Geneva. If there is an obscure version that introduces the confusion, it was likely written specifically to support Copernicus and his heliocentric worship of the pagan Sun god. The protestant leaders called his model satanic at the time. I doubt they could comprehend how satanic our society has become. The Bible speaks for itself. Good faith wrestling over interpretation is healthy and makes each of us stronger. Lets leave the topic and pray for strength and solidarity to fight the real enemy. Have a Blessed Sabbath brother.
Or "vault," which conforms better to what we have found. The sky is blue. The appearance of the lights can also describe the dissipation of a cloud layer.
Which protestant leaders? I don't recall Martin Luther having anything to say on the subject. The leading astronomers of the day (Galileo, Kepler, Copernicus) were all churchgoing, and arrived at the understanding that the planets were far from the Earth (no "firmament").
The discussion is pointless. We have satellites in orbit about the Earth, have sent men to the Moon, and probes to the planets. There is no "firmament"...but there are heavens. You have to realize that God was condensing a complex account to fit into Moses' Egyptian understanding of cosmology. The main point was the emergence of sin into the world. Genesis was not an astronomy text. And it does not contradict or conflict with Creation, which was the prior Word of God.
