The firmament separates the heavens and the Earth, correct? Does that not mean that the firmament is the boundary of the universe? Do we think that the moon and Mars and Jupiter are part of the heavens ? Serious question because I have not researched this topic of the firmament biblically.
yes, it's not mentioned much anymore, people aren't as literal with the Bible. it's the separation between the 'waters'...
it would be the 'end' of our inner space, and include the planets we know.
Genesis 1:6-8
KJV
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
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.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
-some good examples if you search 'God's firmament images'

"The firmament in the Bible is the tremendous dome-shaped expanse of sky separating the upper atmosphere or “waters” from the lower waters of the earth. On the second day of the creation account, God created the firmament:"
they wanted people to believe in 'space' rather than the Biblical firmament.
to make us feel 'small'...one of billions, instead of made in the image of God.
That’s a stretch
Ummm no it's not.
flat earth enters the chat....
why?
