There are other pages that say Bible Quiz, but this one is unique and very needed.
Where is the Sun?
The Bible tells us where the sun is, in the book of Genesis, chapter 1. In the same passages, it also tells us where the moon is.
Gen. 1:16,17 KJV:
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night… 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth…
So the first thing we learn is that the sun and moon, God set them in the firmament. That is where they are, it is clear. What is the firmament?
Hebrew: רקיע râqı̂ya‛
Brown-Driver-Briggs Definition of “firmament”:
1) extended surface (solid), expanse, firmament
1a) (flat) expanse (as if of ice, compare הַקֶּרַח כְּעֵין), as base, support (WklAltor. Forsch. iv. 347) Eze_1:22-23, Eze_1:25(gloss ? compare Co Toy), Eze_1:26 (supporting Yahweh’s throne). Hence (CoEze_1:22)
1b) the vault of heaven, or ‘firmament,’ regarded by Hebrews as solid, and supporting ‘waters’ above.
So the sun and moon are definitely in the firmament. But where is the firmament?
Genesis 1:6-8 (KJV) says:
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.
So the firmament is between the waters that are on the earth and the waters that are above the earth. The NIV calls it an expanse, and that expanse is called the sky.
Thus, the sun and moon are below/ inside, the upper layer of waters.
Other scriptures help further describe the firmament in which the sun and moon are located:
Included in the meaning of the Hebrew word for firmament is that it has a vaulted ceiling, which is shiny, and solid (firm). Another word is a dome. The dome is as hard as a mirror, Job 37:18. It is like a canopy, Isaiah 40:22.
So we see that the sun and moon are inside the dome. They are in the firmament, which is the same place where the birds are flying, see Gen. 1:20. The sun is not millions of miles away therefore; this fact is easy to see with the naked eye when a “sunburst” happens. Sometimes when the sun is behind a cloud, the sun’s rays spread out diagonally from it, forming a triangle. All you have to do is trace where those rays meet at the top, at the point of the triangle, and that is were the sun is. It is just above the clouds in that case. But there are also plenty of videos taken by passengers and pilots in airplanes, of the sun being in front of clouds, and also videos of the plane flying higher than the sun and the moon (see linked video below as examples).
Some say that the upper layer of waters is no longer there, because the great flood was when they fell to earth. But the Psalmist in Psalm 148:4 still much later in time said: “Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.”
Choose this day which you will believe: the Holy Scriptures in the book of Genesis, which tell us that the sun and moon are just a few miles above us, or some scientists, who say the sun is millions of miles away.
When you do further research, you will find that “outer space” is fake, and that the “space walks” done by “astronauts” are really done in a very large tank of water. In fact there was a recent headline on CNN that a “spacewalk” had to be terminated because an astronaut’s helmet was filling with water.
There are also deathbed confessions by people involved in staging and filming the fake moon landings in Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Why does all this matter? Because it tells us that we are the center of attention, that there is a domed world made just for us, and the sun and moon are just for us, and the Godhead and the angels are watching us kind of like in that movie “The Truman Show.” Psalm 19 says “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.” Satan wants to distort the glory of god.
1 Timothy 6:20 has never been more appropriate than today: “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science so called.”
Psalm 19 also says, “In them (the firmament of the heavens) he has set a tabernacle for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoicing as a strong man to run his course. His going forth is from the end of the sky, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.”
The Bible says the sun has a circuit, not the earth. The Bible says the sun is within a “tabernacle” inside the firmament. The Bible says the sun travels over the earth. It is not “poetic license,” or figurative language, but literal and reality. See this video.

The globe earth started in the extra-biblical writings of Judaism: see this PDF for a list of references: https://bibletranslation.ws/down/Globe-Is-Judaism.pdf
But the actual Hebrew Bible says the earth is flat like this:
Testimony about how in Antarctica they are studying the “sky ice” that constitutes the wall of the dome. https://youtu.be/_aFhAFWruBY
It is preposterous that we would not feel the earth slowing down or speeding up in its purported elliptical orbit around the sun. It would slow down by at least 2,000 mph when it is at the end of the ellipsis. We do not feel it, because it is not reality, it is science fiction.

Anyway, scientists cannot disagree with the Bible that the earth does not move:
Many private rockets have been launched straight up, and all of them, at about 70 miles up, run into a barrier of water, which we can presume is the dome that the Bible talks about.
