The following notes are a response to those who deny that a physical "firmament/dome" structure is being stretched above our heads.

Genesis 1:6-8 - With understanding the properties of water, it requires a physically hardened substance to keep it contained. Thus, a dome/firmament is not only logic, but is within the proper context of scripture.

Job 26:7 - From the "north" is being "stretched" over what empty place?

Job 37:18 - The premise of this verse is a "question" being posed, in order to put "man" in perspective to the Creator. In that teaching moment, God reveals a truth about the "expanse," that it is "strong" just like a "molten looking glass."

Isaiah 40:22 - This verse shares the same language Job 26:7. What in the "heavens" is being "stretched out" as a curtain? What in the "heavens" are "spread out" that would allow us to live under it as a "tent?"

Isaiah 44:24 - Again, what is being "stretched" in the heavens?

Isaiah 45:12 - This verse, Isaiah 45:12, is in agreement with Job 26:7 and Job 37:18, as well as there is no contradiction within the inspired words of God. Only a fool is willing to declare God a liar by stating that His hands have NOT stretched out the heavens." Let God be true and every man a liar." (Romans 3:4)

Isaiah 48:13 - What is being "spanned" by God in the heavens?

Ezekiel 1:22-26, Ezekiel 10:1 - The analogies of the "firmament" make no sense without a literal "firmament."

Daniel 12:3 - Just as the firmament is described as firm like a molten looking glass, it has a hardened surface from which a "shine" can occur.

Amos 9:6 - Some translations use the word "troop." Have you researched the original Hebrew meaning of that word? "Stong's 92 OT (Hebrew 'aguddahag-ood-daw' feminine passive participle of an unused root (meaning to bind); a band, bundle, knot, or arch: --bunch, burden, troop." Did you see the word "arch" in there? Again, no inconsistency in God's Word.

Acts 7:56 - If the "heavens" are only the open expanse/sky, why would it have to be re-opened? What is being "opened?" Perhaps, the firmament?

Revelation 4:6 - See Job 37:18.

Revelation 6:14 - What is being "departed as a scroll when it is rolled together?"
