Have you ever wondered what the firmament is?
The word firmament comes from the Latin firmamentum, which means “support” or “prop”.
It refers to the expanse of the sky or heavens that appears like an arch above us.
The firmament is mentioned in the Bible as the creation of God on the second day of creation.
It separates the waters above from the waters below, and it is where God placed the sun, moon, and stars.
But what if the firmament is more than just a poetic description of the sky? What if it is a solid dome that encloses the earth and prevents anything from getting in or out?
This is the view of some people who believe in the flat earth theory.
They claim that the earth is a flat disc surrounded by a wall of ice, and that the firmament is a physical barrier that protects us from the dangers of outer space.
They also reject the idea of gravity, satellites, planets, and other astronomical phenomena as lies and deceptions
