What did the biblical authors intend to communicate when they used the word "earth?" Genesis 1 is an ancient cosmology that uses specific words and images to describe the ordered world as understood by ancient people. When we study this chapter, we can discover how the writers of the Bible understood the structure of the world and its origins
In Hebrew, the word for "earth" ('erets) typically means land rather than a globe or sphere floating in space. The raqia' is the solid dome above the land that holds back the waters above, and the creation of the raqia' creates a place where life can flourish. Dive into Genesis 1 and explore how these Hebrew words can help us see the important theological claim being made through this cosmology picture.

Wow, Tim is an incredible scholar. I have never heard anyone explain anything with such depth, breadth, and clarity. I wish I could be in the classroom but I am SOO grateful this is being taught and given for free. This is more valuable than gold. Priceless teachings.

10:30 Raqia' as a solid dome
12:07 Waters as an obstacle (the raqia' serves as a protective shield)
14:30 Didn't the raqia' fall during the flood? (and has not been replaced since)

18:38 What does cosmology mean?
20:24 Metaphysics: If cosmology is a kind of knowledge, what is the meaning?

How much should this information cost? It's free. This is God's grace for those who seek Him. I'm so grateful for these videos. God bless Pastor Tim.

wow, honestly just wow! The separation of physics and metaphysics really just blew me away, honestly such a fresh perspective. "You are looking at a cookbook for instructions on how to grow food" is such a nail on the head analogy. Wonderful video as always, keep up the great work 🤍

I love how you carefully explain that element of creation that so elegantly describes this special world that God made for us. Yes, we truly are at the center of His creation. Amen

I am grateful for the questions that were asked because I too was a bit confused (still kind of am). That whole separation of the waters has long confused me. It's a bit clearer now, but God bless the students who were brave enough to express their need for clarification. Btw would have loved to hear the answer to the first lady's question about the water being held in reserve for a possible time of divine punishment. Thanks to the whole class. Tim's biblical enthusiasm is infectious!

I would love to be in this classroom engaging in these conversations with Tim. So thought provoking and interesting!

Psa 150:1 Praise Yah. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament.
Job 22:14 Thick clouds are a covering for him, so that he does not see; and he walks about on the dome of heaven.'
The rainbow of Genesis 9 appears to have the same shape as the firmament, above which the waters of the flood originated - hence the reminder it is solid and the waters will not destroy all flesh again. It's not gone.

The line, "you must be religious" haha loves this classroom topic. Keep it up!

Thank you SO much! I love this kind of Bible study (Far more than 'what does it mean to YOU?' type questions). I don't have the skill, time, or focus to truly learn Hebrew, Koine/Greek, Aramaic, etc. to delve into the original language of the bible, but I know that a LOT of disagreement and misunderstanding stems from ignorance of the depths and finer shades of meaning of what the text actually says. I rely on others who DO have that linguistic knowledge and perspective to clarify scripture for me. Thanks once again!

I have waited so long for a rightly divided, unapologetic Christian explanation of day 1 and 2 in the Genesis account. Thank you gentleman. I truly am rejoicing. God truth is the reality that has been buried for too long.

The Raqia or separation between the ocean above and below could be a description of the earths atmosphere. The earths atmosphere keeps us safe and enclosed. Outer Space would be the place above the Raqia. According the Wikipedia, the water in Outer Space is 25–50 times the volume of earths water. It all ties together perfectly.

We use classroom for our Bible study group and we are doing Heaven and Earth right now. Classroom has totally changed my life! So grateful for the ability to access this level of education for free. I don’t know if I’m a weirdo, but I also find it fun!

Will forever love and appreciate you guys for being so formative to my understanding of God and His word. God bless you to the end of the eretz and beyond the heights of the raqia! ❤️

How can I be in this class? 😅 I love this kind of insight, diving into the hebrew significance.

This was a very interesting conversation! I hope you put out the rest of the conversation soon!
