*** Scripture 3 ***
And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water."
So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so.
God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning — the second day.
Gen 1:6-8 NIV
The Spirit Of GOD made the firmament in the midst of the waters, and made the waters divide from the waters. He divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.
God called the firmament heaven.
When He separated the waters, some of it vaporized to the sky above; and some formed the oceans below, in the earth.
In verse 2, the earth was without form; huge shapeless and chaotic mass. But, GOD established the elementary principles of all things; and this formed the grand mass of matter. Then, He spread out the firmament over empty space; as He suspended the earth over nothing.
In verse 6, He wrapped up the waters in clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight;
He marked out the horizon on the face of the waters. And then, He set the ozone layer over the sky (see Job 26:7-10).
The Spirit Of GOD framed a dome (horizon) which separated sky and sea.
He made the oxygen which forms about 20 per cent of the earth's atmosphere. This is essential to plant and animal life. As well, He made nitrogen which forms about 78 per cent of the earth's atmosphere.
He also made several other elements which are in the form of solid, liquid or gas—essential to natural life and to man.
The Holy Spirit created this solid arch (the expanse between the waters) by The Power of His WORD. And Jesus Christ is The WORD Who created man and the universe (John 1:1-2).
