Firmament means sphere. And so God was saying let a sphere of earth surround all over the waters. And let geysers spring forth from the sphere of earth crust, creating great lakes and rivers on top of the earth crust. And then He said let their be another sphere that separate the dark space from the glow of the earth. And we calls it atmosphere."6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And 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. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
The firmament. Solid matter. An extended expanse. Heaven. Visible sky. To divide the 'waters above from the waters below'.
This 'Heaven', in the Hebrew language, is rarely used together with 'angels'.. [angels of Heaven], [Kingdom of Heaven; where The Father Is], etc...
could this extended expanse be the other planets which divide the 'waters above from the waters below'?
In one ancient text, The origin of the world. It said in the beginning. Something happened in the spiritual realm, creating a watery substance like ectoplasma that is known to some to create images, that was suspended in an empty space like a floating bubble. . And this bubble has shown God's reflection hovering around it. But in the center of it was dark. And then God said let their be light. A light appeared in the center of this bubble of water. And then from that light. Solid matter sprang out in all direction from the light that was is the center of the bubble. And once the matter reached the surface of the bubble. It spread around the bubble, covering the watery substance. Then water sprang from the the matter, bringing the watery substance on the surface of the matter. That it saturated the surface, that it created lifeforms from the matter.
And so that is what I perceived from reading Genesis. .
