A HEINOUS \'MISTAKE\' ON GRAMMAR
The 'heinous mistake' starts here: Genesis 1:1 re'shiyth 'elohiym bara' shamayim 'eth 'erets: "First God birthed air then land"
Genesis 1:1 has been offered up to the world as: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
How is man to reconcile ‘Heaven’ the land where we go after we die with ‘air’? Well, of course, he can’t, so he is left with no idea where or what Heaven is. And so this first intentional misrepresentation of ‘air’ as ‘Heaven’ has caused great confusion. And it gets worse, because from this point on ‘shamayim’ (air) is continually misrepresented as ‘the starry skies’ and ‘the vast expanse of heaven’ ‘the open firmament of heaven’ and so forth. By representing shamayim ‘air’ as ‘heaven’ it would seem, that ‘the starry skies’ (outer space) is the ‘Heaven’ where man goes after death. In Genesis 1:30 ‘shamayim’ (air) has been rendered ‘open firmament of heaven’: God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl may fly above the face of the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Genesis 1:30 should read: …and fowl may fly above the face of earth in the open expanse of air. Face (paniyem) expanse (raqiya) air (shamayim).
And again, Genesis 1:26 … let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air … not ‘the fowl of the starry sky’!
Since ‘shamayim’ (air) has been misrepresented as ‘the starry sky’ many people have come to think of ‘outer space’ as ‘Heaven’ (where Jesus lives) which of course, it is not, ‘outer space’ is the place of exile. But this mistake serves Satan’s purpose hugely, for whereas ‘shamayim’ is merely ‘air’, ‘outer space’ is ‘tachtiy bowr machshak metsolah’ i.e. dark bottomless depths, the 'pit of outer darkness', the 'dungeon' of outer darkness, ‘the deep dungeon’ etc. It’s as though someone had taken the arrow that was pointing to Heaven and purposely turned it to point to Hell. The issue becomes: where was the arrow pointing to initially? For the answer one must turn to the pages of the New Covenant. And there is more, so much more, to trip you up in the old Covenant.
Transient said "Then It would be advisable to check out why the great fathers of the church made such a heinous mistake on grammar, which is ultimately important in the study of G-D and His Holy Words"
We mustn’t hold the Church Fathers responsible for ancient scrolls that were in place long before they arrived on the scene. Heaven is the ULTIMATE real estate; the ancients who pulled the wool over the eyes of the world when they turned the arrow to face away from Heaven and towards Hell wanted to reserve it exclusively for themselves, and as far as they were concerned the rest of the greedy world could go to Hell. Indeed Hell is represented as ‘sheol’ (the grave) from whence we rise to enter Heaven.
They certainly made the dungeon of outer darkness very enticing and exciting, it has every conceivable toy. Anyone seeing the razzle dazzle of Hell could be forgiven for mistaking it as Heaven. If you have fallen for these deadly words: ‘Look into the past and learn for the future’ you are probably very involved with a group which practices ‘hidden secrets’ of the Old Covenant (such as walking through walls), and places no importance on the New Covenant. In which case the ancient deception has begun to work on you.
Jesus turned the arrow to face towards Heaven again, but it has been almost impossible to overcome the influence of the old Covenant, to the end that millions of people still fear death and the grave and would seize at the chance for ‘immortality’ in the human body, or even the chance to prolong life for a thousand years... or two.
Before anyone opts for cold, dark outer space, they should remember this: Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light was good: and God severed the light from the darkness.
‘badal’ not merely 'divided' more at ‘sundered’ and ‘severed’.

Sorry about your headache Shard, please, feel free not to read it, I won't be offended. Tolerate me for a little while longer, I will soon be gone.
