The Firmament: Crafted by Spirit – A Closer Look at Esdras Vision

Day Two of creation often gets overlooked because of, well, the prevailing heliocentric globe Earth model. While it might be popular to yield to the scientific narrative, I’m choosing to spend some time reflecting on what the Bible actually states about the Earth and the firmament—from a biblical perspective.

In our previous post, we talked about how Genesis describes the firmament as a divider of waters—waters above and beneath. But there’s another fascinating, lesser-known parallel found in 2 Ezra 6:41, an apocalyptic book attributed to the prophet and priest Ezra:

“Again, on the second day, you did create the spirit of the firmament and did command him to divide and separate the waters, that one part might move upward and the other part remained beneath.”

This verse introduces an astonishing concept: the firmament was not just created as a structure—it was infused with spirit. Ezra doesn’t describe the firmament as merely a solid dome or vault. Instead, he refers to the “spirit of the firmament” and even uses the masculine pronoun “him” to describe it.

What are we to make of this?

It suggests that the firmament may be a living entity, a spiritual construct, not simply a fixed boundary in the sky. Could the firmament possess a function beyond dividing waters—perhaps acting as a veil, a guardian, or a servant of the Most High?

While this may be a topic for another video, I think it’s worth noting that biblical cosmology often reveals layers of meaning—layers that challenge us to move beyond secular explanations and seek spiritual understanding.

This third part in our series invites us to ask: Is the firmament just a structure—or something far more majestic, intentional, and alive?

Lefties Losing It: Snow White actress Rachel Zegler’s ‘massive backflip’

Once Upon a Woke Time… There was a time when Disney enchanted audiences with stories that transcended time—tales of courage, hope, and yes, true love. But in 2025, Snow White —a reboot of the beloved 1937 classic—hit the box office not with a magical bang, but a dismal thud. Critics panned it, audiences stayed away, and even loyal Disney fans were left scratching their heads. Why did it fail? Was it poor marketing? A saturated market? Or could it be that Disney forgot the golden rule: stay out of politics, and let the story shine ? When the Princess Doesn’t Believe in Princes Much of the backlash can be traced to the film’s star, Rachel Zegler. Long before the movie hit theaters, clips surfaced of Zegler dismissing the original Snow White tale. She stated in interviews that the story was outdated, mocked the idea of being “saved by a prince,” and emphasized that her version of Snow White was “not dreaming about true love.” Now, let’s pause for a second. It’s one thing to adapt a...

Was the woman at the well disqualified from discipleship?

During our morning conversation, we delved into the story of the woman at the well as recounted in John 4:1-42. The question that surfaced was whether this woman, who had been married five times previously and was currently living with a man to whom she wasn't wed, could be considered for discipleship. It's a question that would likely be met with skepticism by most religious authorities, but Jesus challenges conventional wisdom. We can't attribute her circumstances to luck, as there's no such thing. Rather, in the context of a world devoid of safety nets for women, her choices may have been pragmatic. Jesus, displaying his omniscience, encounters her alone at the well, using the opportunity to engage in discipleship. Despite societal norms that marginalize women, Jesus breaks through these barriers by addressing her directly and acknowledging her situation with grace. He redirects the conversation away from religious doctrine to emphasize the importance of a personal ...

So she has utilized both male and female names but through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, documents, Houston Police Department reports, she has been identified this entire time as female." The police noted that some media outlets had referred to Moreno as a transgender woman, but according to their investigat...
