It seems to be fully consistent that we may have gotten the interpretation wrong, and that we were supposed to be confused. God tells us that this matter is a mystery to man. Take a look at what God asks Job in Job 38:18:
Job 38:18Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
Man is not expected to know what the expanse is. It is an enigma. A mystery to man. And apparently a deep and profound one. God expects Job to not understand the expanse. Perhaps, like Job, we were not expected not to fully know its true nature.
We are given a few clues:
Psalm 150:1Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
The expanse is
mighty.
There is also something "like an expanse" over our heads:
Ezekiel 1:22[ Vision of Divine Glory ] Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.
Not the expanse, but like an expanse. Could it be that this is where we are going? The endless free space that is above?
In Daniel we are told the following, in relation to the subject of the expanse of heaven and eternal life:
Daniel 12:3Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
There seems to be both an expanse of the earth and the expanse of heaven. The expanse of the earth, from where we came, and the expanse of heaven, to where we are going (read as everlasting life).
The bible does seem to be trying to tell us something. One interpretation is that the expanse is the same thing that was
discovered by Albert Einstein, and that the matter happens to solve the deepest mysteries of both physics and the bible.
What does the stationary earth solve for us? What does the stationary earth do for us? What is the expanse? The stationary earth seems to be an interpretation of four words only, "Will Not Be Moved", identified and interpreted by geocentrists, ignores all else, and exists as a limit on God and His will for the world.
We can feel God's will pressing up against us, and we can see it when we step off of a chair. It seems, to me, to solve all mysteries.
