The Windows of Heaven
Class Notes for Friday, 5-6-2005
-
Definition:
The Windows of Heaven
is an astronomical repulsive force, which increases as the Windows are
opened. It causes time to pass by very quickly for the stars caught-up
in it. As the stars are moved away from earth at the time of Noah's
flood, up to billions of years pass by for them, while just 5 months pass
by on earth.

of the Bible, such as the NIV.

John 20 (Living Bible):
19 That
evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors, in fear of the
Jewish leaders, when suddenly Jesus was standing there among them!
After greeting them, 20 he showed them
his hands and side. And how wonderful was their joy as they saw their
Lord!
21 He
spoke to them again and said, "As the Father has sent me, even so I am
sending you." 22 Then he breathed
on them and told them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If
you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven. If you refuse to forgive
them, they are unforgiven."
24 One
of the disciples, Thomas, "The Twin," was not there at the time with the
others. 25 When they kept telling
him, "We have seen the Lord," he replied, "I won't believe it unless I
see the nail wounds in his hands; and put my fingers into them; and place
my hand into his side."
26 Eight
days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was
with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus
was standing among them and greeting them.
27 Then
he said to Thomas, "Put your finger into my hands. Put your hand
into my side. Don't be faithless any longer. Believe!"
28 My
Lord and my God!" Thomas said,

CONCLUSION: If you were to draw for yourself an
imaginary world on paper, you could make it flat. This two dimensional
world would exist from left to right, and from top to bottom, but would
have no third dimension; that is, the dimension coming up out of the page.
In this "Flatland" which
you have created, your people would only be able to look in the plane of
the paper, from left to right, and from top to bottom. They could
not see out of the plane of the paper. If you built a room for your
Flatlanders, it could be just as simple as a box. For the Flatlanders
who are inside this box, it is a sealed & closed room, but you can
enter this sealed & closed two dimensional room just by putting your
hand on the page. Hence, you have "appeared" in the sealed room with
no apparent method of entry.
This is how Jesus came into
this three dimensional room as described here in John 20. He entered
into the sealed & closed three dimensional room from space which exists
in four or more dimensions!.
-
Job 37 (NIV):
18
can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?
21
Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the
wind has swept them clean.
-
CONCLUSION: The earth had (and still has)
a protective shield which reflects away harmful radiation. A Magnetic
Field performs the required function well. Remember that the stars
were still visible in the pre-flood earth, so a opaque vapor dome just
doesn't make too much sense. Also, remember that the field strength
has dropped 10% in the last 150 years, which indicates that it was very
much stronger before the flood. Before Noah's Flood, the bronze mirror
of the sky reflected away most of the sun's energy, enabling direct viewing
of the sun without damaging the eye.
-
Genesis 1 (KJV):
6
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7
And 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.
8
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
-
Footnote 1 (for Genesis
1:6) From the Blue Letter Bible, you will find these definitions
for firmament (click on the ),
which seems consistent with the idea that the pre-flood earth had a water
cavern shell beneath the surface:
-
1) extended surface (solid), expanse, firmament
-
1a) expanse (flat as base, support)
-
1b) firmament (of vault of heaven supporting waters above)
-
1b1) considered by Hebrews as solid and supporting 'waters' above
-

-
Genesis 1 (NIV):
6
And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate
water from water."
7
So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from
the water above it. And it was so.
8God
called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning-the
second day.
-
CONCLUSION: Here, the vapor dome theory is attempted
to be supported by getting huge volumes of water up at the fringes of space.
This sets us up for the big error in Genesis 7:11.
-
Genesis 7 (KJV):
11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep
broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
-
Footnote 2 (for Genesis
7:11) From the Blue Letter Bible, you will find this definition
for windows (click on the ).
When you look at this
photo, it indeed does look like this is a place where smoke is escaping!
-
(CLBL) chimney (lattice opening where smoke escapes)
-
Genesis 7 (NIV):
11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the
second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth,
and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
-
CONCLUSION: Here is another example of where the
guess that the earth had a vapor dome actually influenced a modern English
translation. In actuality, this is a series of windows which when
opened, allow the movement of the very fabric of our 3D space manifold.
It moves the Stars away from Earth during the first 5 months of Noah's
flood, by moving the space in which the stars reside, not by moving the
stars through space. This causes a huge time shift for those stars,
wherein they age millions or even billions of years, while on earth, only
5 months pass by.
