HEAVEN & EARTH: THE GLORY OF GOD AS REVEALED IN HIS CREATION







 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cloisters, NYC

 

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.


Psalm 19:1



This report is meant to provide evidence from the Bible, as well as from non-canonical sources, that the earth on which we live is a flat, stationary plane.


Here I have compiled a list from the scriptures, the KJV Bible and the Book of Enoch. The reader will note the phrases which repeat, such as: the ends of the earth, the face of the earth, the foundations of the earth, which can only describe a breadth, a level expanse, rather than a spinning globe, a sphere, moving through space.


As for the true science which proves the nature of the world, sources for that may be easily found by those willing to search for them, and it will become apparent that real science (established by repeatable experiments) confirms what is found in the Bible, though presented from a different perspective. In any case, nowhere in the Bible is there any mention of the pseudo science which contradicts the narrative of Creation.


For Christians, this should be of great importance, given that the life of the Christian should be dedicated to the truth, as revealed by the Holy Spirit, and the inspired Word of God.

 

I have included my own photos and illustrations, artwork that is decades old, and which were inspired by my love of nature and animals, of God's glorious Creation.


All scriptures given here are from the KJV.


A NOTE ON THE BOOK OF ENOCH


In 1946 what are now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered near an ancient settlement, Qumran.


Among these manuscripts were the majority of portions of a non-canonical extra-biblical text, the Book of Enoch.


The Book of Enoch is comprised of five books – The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch, roughly 100 chapters, though some are missing.


These chapters document the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis, Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah.


The Book of Enoch provides a different and far more detailed history than we find in the biblical account of Noah’s Ark.


Enoch tells of the Watchers, otherwise known as the fallen angels. (See Genesis 6 in the Bible.) The Watchers, in their ungodly lust for the daughters of men, engaged in sexual relations with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born of the Watchers and human women, called the Nephilim, the Giants who wreaked havoc on God's Creation, despoiling and desecrating the earth, committing perversions with both humans and animals.


Enoch was included in the canon of the Old Testament of the Coptic Church in Ethiopia, but otherwise was rejected by those at the Council of Nicea (325 AD) and elsewhere.


Speaking for myself, I don't consider Enoch any less valuable for its non-canonical designation. I do not consider myself a defender of dogma, but rather, using discernment, take the truth from any source where it can be found. The Book of Enoch is a rich source of information not only on angels, but on the actual nature of God's Creation. I love this book and have read through it countless times since I first found it published in hardcopy, about 2 decades ago.


For those interested, it can also be found online, for easier reading.


BIBLICAL COSMOLOGY


Which brings me to the purpose of this report. The Bible (as do other non-canonical texts) clearly and definitively describes the Creation, in great detail. In brief, the earth is a stationary plane, covered by a firmament (or dome).


The sun, moon and stars are shown to be luminaries with set courses, moving above the earth, the sky serving as a perfect clock which determines times and seasons.


Those who consider the Bible the Word of God would be hard pressed to deny this reality, in either intellectual or spiritual terms. And yet...


We have been indoctrinated by the heathen materialist 'scientists' with the monstrous lie that 'planet earth' is a spinning ball, orbiting the sun in a heliocentric model, along with other planets, flying through infinite space.


These “planets” (such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are in fact lights in the sky, and were known as “wandering stars”, as they did not keep their appointed courses, as do the other stars. Which, by the way, would not be possible, were the earth a spinning globe. And yet, we do have the evidence of the courses of the stars, which do not change, over vast periods of time, millennia.


Stars are not “suns” out in space, nor are there planets in other solar systems. From my studies of the Bible and other non-canonical sources, I believe that stars are conscious beings, perhaps even a form of angels. The Bible tells us that “the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy”. But more than that, I have experienced this in a way that is difficult to describe, but nonetheless real. I have heard choirs of angels singing and I know others who have had the same experience.

 

We have been told that earth is just another planet, nothing special, where life 'evolved' from pond scum, where monkeys are our ancestors, all resulting from some Big Bang, countless billions of years ago.

 

In such a world, what could possibly be the meaning of life? Where is God, Creator of Heaven and earth? Nowhere to be found. But then, that is exactly the point. The satanic deceivers would have us believe that there is no Creator, that life has no meaning, that we are hapless and helpless, at the mercy of random forces. Nothing – absolutely nothing –could be further from the truth.

 

In particular, I recommend the Book of Job, wherein there is given the most wondrous and beautiful description of Creation in the entire Bible.


Here are some quotes describing Creation. And there are many, many more, where these came from.


I hope the readers will enjoy this report, and for those who doubt, that it may provide at the very least, something to ponder and to research further.

DESCRIPTORS OF CREATION FROM KJV BIBLE & THE BOOK OF ENOCH


In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.


And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

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.


Genesis 1:1-7


And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.


Jude 1:14-15


For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.

Exodus 20:11

 


 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Psalm 33:4-11


The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

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,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

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.


Psalm 19:1-6

 


 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 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.

Genesis 1:14-18


Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

Job 37:14-16


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. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Genesis 1:20-22


Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire.

Psalm 104:1-4


O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.


Psalm 104:24-25


But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

Job 12:7-9

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Isaiah 40:28


The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

Isaiah 43:20


Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Psalm 90:2


For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water.

2 Peter 3:5


Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?


Job 38:1-7


Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

Job 38:25-27

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.


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:


Genesis 1:14


Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Isaiah 44:24


Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Psalm 102:25


Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

Psalm 104:1-6

 

 


 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All who are in the heavens know what is transacted there.

They know that the heavenly luminaries change not their paths; that each rises and sets regularly, every one at its proper period, without transgressing the commands which they have received. They behold the earth, and understand what is there transacted, from the beginning to the end of it.

They see that every work of God is invariable in the period of its appearance. They behold summer and winter: perceiving that the whole earth is full of water; and that the cloud, the dew, and the rain refresh it.


Book of Enoch

3:1-3

 

 


 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then surveyed the receptacles of all the winds, perceiving that they contributed to adorn the whole creation, and to preserve the foundation of the earth.

I surveyed the stone which supports the corners of the earth.

I also beheld the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the firmament of heaven.

And I beheld the winds occupying the exalted sky.

Arising in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven.

I saw the winds which turn the sky, which cause the orb of the sun and of all the stars to set; and over the earth I saw the winds which support the clouds.

I saw the path of the angels.

I perceived at the extremity of the earth the firmament of heaven above it. Then I passed on towards the south;

Where burnt, both by day and night, six mountains formed of glorious stones; three towards the east, and three towards the south.

Those which were towards the east were of a variegated stone; one of which was of margarite, and another of antimony. Those towards the south were of a red stone. The middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God; a throne composed of alabaster, the top of which was of sapphire. I saw, too, a blazing fire hanging over 1 all the mountains.

And there I saw a place on the other side of an extended territory, where waters were collected.

I likewise beheld terrestrial fountains, deep in the fiery columns of heaven.

And in the columns of heaven I beheld fires, which descended without number, but neither on high, nor into the deep. Over these fountains also I perceived a place which had neither the firmament of heaven above it, nor the solid ground underneath it; neither was there water above it, nor anything on wing; but the spot was desolate.

And there I beheld seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating me.

Then the angel said, This place, until the consummation of heaven and earth, will be the prison of the stars, and the host of heaven.

The stars which roll over fire are those which transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they came not in their proper season. Therefore was He offended with them, and bound them, until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year.


Book of Enoch 18


From thence I went on towards the extremities of the earth; where I saw large beasts different from each other, and birds various in their countenances and forms, as well as with notes of different sounds.

To the east of these beasts I perceived the extremities of the earth, where heaven ceased. The gates of heaven stood open, and I beheld the celestial stars come forth. I numbered them as they proceeded out of the gate, and wrote them all down, as they came out one by one according to their number. I wrote down their names altogether, their times and their seasons, as the angel Uriel, who was with me, pointed them out to me.

He showed them all to me, and wrote down an account of them.

He also wrote down for me their names, their regulations, and their operations.


Book of Enoch 32

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From thence I advanced on towards the north, to the extremities of the earth.

And there I saw a great and glorious wonder at the extremities of the whole earth.

I saw there heavenly gates opening into heaven; three of them distinctly separated. The northern winds proceeded from them, blowing cold, hail, frost, snow, dew, and rain.

From one of the gates they blew mildly; but when they blew from the two other gates, it was with violence and force. They blew over the earth strongly.


Book of Enoch 33

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I proceeded to the extremities of the earth southwards; where I saw three gates open to the south, from which issued dew, rain, and wind.

From thence I went to the extremities of heaven eastwards; where I saw three heavenly gates open to the east, which had smaller gates within them. Through each of these small gates the stars of heaven passed on, and proceeded towards the west by a path which was seen by them, and that at every period of their appearance.

When I beheld them, I blessed; every time in which they appeared, I blessed the Lord of glory, who had made those great and splendid signs, that they might display the magnificence of his works to angels and to the souls of men; and that these might glorify all his works and operations; might see the effect of his power; might glorify the great labour of his hands; and bless him for ever.


Book of Enoch 35


There, too, my eyes beheld the secrets of the lightning and the thunder; and the secrets of the winds, how they are distributed as they blow over the earth: the secrets of the winds, of the dew, and of the clouds. There I perceived the place from which they issued forth, and became saturated with the dust of the earth.

There I saw the wooden receptacles out of which the winds became separated, the receptacle of hail, the receptacle of snow, the receptacle of the clouds, and the cloud itself, which continued over the earth before the creation of the world.

I beheld also the receptacles of the moon, whence the moons came, whither they proceeded, their glorious return, and how one became more splendid than another. I marked their rich progress, their unchangeable progress, their disunited and undiminished progress; their observance of a mutual fidelity by a stable oath; their proceeding forth before the sun, and their adherence to the path allotted them, in obedience to the command of the Lord of spirits. Potent is his name for ever and for ever.


Book of Enoch 41


I beheld another splendour, and the stars of heaven. I observed that he called them all by their respective names, and that they heard. In a righteous balance I saw that he weighed out with their light the amplitude of their places, and the day of their appearance, and their conversion. Splendour produced splendour; and their conversion was into the number of the angels, and of the faithful.

Then I inquired of the angel, who proceeded with me, and explained to me secret things, What their names were. He answered, A similitude of those has the Lord of spirits shown thee. They are names of the righteous who dwell upon earth, and who believe in the name of the Lord of spirits for ever and for ever.

ADDENDUM


For those interested in the evidence, from a scientific perspective, of the actual nature of Creation, please see this website:


THE FLAT EARTH PODCAST


https://www.theflatearthpodcast.com/


It is hosted by Dave Weiss, who provides numerous videos showing experiments he and many others have conducted, which prove beyond any doubt that the earth is a stationary plane, rather than a spinning ball, flying through 'space'. There are also videos exposing the many lies and deceptions of NASA, including the 'moon landing'.


The so-called 'Blue Marble' is revealed to be a CGI creation, rather than an actual photo, as admitted by Robert Simmon, who states: It is photo-shopped, but it has to be.


The truth about Antarctica is also exposed, being not a continent on the bottom of the globe, but in actuality an ice wall which surrounds and forms the borders of the oceans of the known world, which holds them in, and which extends out for many miles beyond. The Antarctic treaty (1959) has made it impossible for anyone to explore this part of the earth plane, which is a major component of the coverup.


Aside from many years of my own research which led me to the knowledge of the massive deception being perpetrated on the public, these videos have been a source of factual information second to none, which confirm what the Bible documents about Creation. I have watched hundreds of these videos, over a period of years between 2015 and the present time.


Of special interest have been the interviews with globe believers, who started out skeptics, but were won over to the truth when presented with irrefutable evidence.


And there is so very much more...
