Thematic Bible: Heavens


Thematic Bible



It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.


Thus says God the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,

“Of old You founded the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You,

For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.

“When He established the heavens, I was there,
When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,



And all the host of heaven will wear away,
And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.


Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the sky will vanish like smoke,
And the earth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not wane.




Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
