Thank you for your analysis of Genesis regarding the firmament. Trying to understand the meaning of the word "firmament" better. I looked up Strongs using the blueletterbible.org tool and it said the following:
- extended surface (solid), expanse, firmament
- expanse (flat as base, support)
- firmament (of vault of heaven supporting waters above)
- considered by Hebrews as solid and supporting 'waters' above
Trying to understand better the part about "emptying" in your analysis. I believe strongly in the NT quotations regarding the kenosis and I just want to see how the link is made back to Genesis and the incarnation. Very interesting, thanks for your patience in this matter!
