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?

Dr. W. B. Clark and the 1909 Cancer-Public Health Debate: Parasites as a Cause?

In the early 20th century, as medical science continued to evolve, a variety of theories emerged about the origins and causes of cancer. One of the more controversial voices in this conversation was Dr. W. B. Clark , a physician who, in 1909 , boldly declared that parasites were the primary cause of cancer . His views sparked both intrigue and skepticism within the scientific community, highlighting the tensions between emerging medical theories and established norms of the time. Who Was Dr. W. B. Clark? Dr. W. B. Clark was a practicing physician in Indiana, active during a period when cancer research was still in its infancy. Although not a household name today, he contributed to the growing body of medical speculation and debate surrounding the nature of cancer. At the time, cancer was poorly understood, and treatments were rudimentary at best. Researchers explored a wide range of causes, from environmental factors to heredity — and in Clark's case, infectious organisms . The Par...

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...

The Atrocity of King Leopold: The Horrific Torture of Congolese Children

The Atrocity of King Leopold: The Horrific Torture of Congolese Children History often glosses over the true horror of colonial rule, dressing it in the garb of “civilizing missions” and economic development. But behind the veil of so-called progress lies a chapter soaked in the blood of innocence. One of the most brutal and chilling examples is the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium over the Congo Free State — a period marked by unimaginable cruelty, especially toward children. A Kingdom of Terror From 1885 to 1908, King Leopold II personally owned and ruled the Congo Free State, not as a colony of Belgium, but as his private property. Under the guise of humanitarianism and philanthropy, he established a reign of terror that stripped the land of its resources and the people of their dignity. The primary goal: rubber and ivory. The price: human lives. To maximize rubber production, Leopold’s private army, the Force Publique , enforced brutal quotas on villages. Failure to meet the...
