1. Genesis 1:6 says, “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it ____________ the waters from the waters.”

2. Because the word firmament contains the word firm in it, we may read this word and get the mistaken idea that it refers to something firm, like, “solid ground.”  This firmament is NOT referring to when God created the ____________________ of land to separate the oceans and seas.

3. The firmament is the “arch of the sky,” so the firmament  is what we would refer to today as the ____________________ around the earth.

4. Genesis 7:11-12 says, “In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the __________________ of the great deep broken up, and the ______________ of heaven were opened.  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”

5. It is very interesting how God described the water coming down from the sky.  He did NOT say, “And the clouds became larger and larger, and darker and darker; and then suddenly the clouds burst, and the rain came pouring down!”  God described it this way, “The ______________ of heaven were opened.”  You can see through a window, but you cannot see through a big, dark, rain cloud.  Before the flood, the sun would have shone through that clear body of water above the atmosphere, just like it does through a window.

6. This means that there was no ______________ warning  that the flood was about to start.

7. This sudden, unexpected start to the flood, is used as an illustration of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Matthew 24:38-39 says, “For as in the days that were before the __________ they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,  And knew ______ until the flood came, and took them all ________; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE.”

8. Matthew 24:44 says, “Therefore be ye also __________: for in such an ________ as ye think not the Son of man ____________.”

9. Genesis 1:9 says, “And God said, Let the waters __________ the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry ________ appear: and it was so.”

10. Genesis 1:11 says, “And God ________, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was ____.”

11. Psalms 33:6 says, “By the ________ of the Lord were the heavens ________; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”

12. Psalms 33:9 says, “For he __________, and it was ________; he commanded, and it stood fast.”

13. What did God create first, the seeds, or the plants/trees? ________________________

14. Who planted the Garden of Eden—God or Adam? ___________

15. God has designed that plants, herbs, and trees multiply by means of the seeds spreading.  When the wind blows, the seeds from maple trees look like little helicopters floating and twirling down to the ground.  When the wind blows, dandelion seeds float through the air attached to white, fluffy tops, which the wind carries far and wide.  Just as God has entrusted the plants and the trees with seeds to be scattered, even so, God has entrusted each of us to sow the seed of His ________ throughout our daily lives.

16. Isaiah 55:10-11 says, “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:  So shall my ________ be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall ______________ in the thing whereto I sent it.”

17. Sowing the seed of God’s Word requires faith.  God promised that He would bless His Word as it is sown, and that it would not return unto Him ________ (empty).

18. Genesis 1:12 says, “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his ____, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his ____: and God saw that it was good.”

19. Whether it is with plants, trees, or animals, God has created everything within its “__________.” These are “boundaries” which God has created within these sets, which may not be ______________.

20. Everything has marvelous design, because it has a Marvelous Designer—______.

21. Psalms 19:1-3 says, “The ______________ declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.   Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  There is no speech nor ________________, where their voice is not __________.”

22. The “third heaven” or “________________” is the place where saved people immediately go when they die.

23. Luke 23:42-43 says, “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.   And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in ________________.”

24. One of the major reasons for the sun, moon, and stars was for light.  That is also a major reason why God leaves us here after we get saved—for the purpose of being a “__________.”

25. Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your __________ so __________ before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your ____________ which is in heaven.”

26. The sun, and the moon, and the stars do not all have the same brightness or __________.

29. Psalms 147:3-5 says, “He healeth the ____________ in __________, and bindeth up their wounds.    He telleth the ____________ of the stars; he calleth them all by their __________.   Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.”

30. The key to true “glory” in the Christian life is not seeking the ______________ positions, but to ____________ serve.

31. You may think that your “course” in life is not very important, and that you are not having any impact upon anyone’s life—but you are.  Romans 14:7 says, “For none of us liveth to ______________, and no man dieth to ______________.”

32. There are people (and you do not even realize how many people) that are “charting” the course for their lives based partly upon what they see in ________ life, and how you ______________ to things that happen.

33. Genesis 1:16-18 says, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to ________ the day, and the lesser light to ________ the night: he made the stars also.  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,  And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.”

34. Do you see the emphasis here?  God does not want “________________” to RULE.  God wants “__________” to RULE.

35. The moon does not have any capability, of itself, to “PRODUCE” light—what it does is “______________” the light of the sun.  Even so, we also have no light-producing capability in this old sinful flesh, but we can, by God’s grace, ______________ His glory.

36. How can the moon reflect light to us, when it is so dark at night?  It is able to do that because it is “__________________” high above the ________________ upon earth.  From that position, it is in direct line with the light of the sun, and can ______________ that light to us.  What a picture that is for us.  We need to live lives “separate” from the sin and darkness all around us; so that, instead of being engulfed by darkness, we might reflect God’s glory into this earth.

37. 1 Peter 1:14-16 says, “As ________________ children, not ____________________ yourselves according to the former __________ in your ignorance:   But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye ________ in all manner of conversation;   Because it is written, Be ye ________; for I am holy.”

39. The earth, rotating in front of the sun and its light, gives us a length of time for our days, which is ____ hours.

40. The cycle of the moon takes about 30 days to complete, so it gives us 12 time periods in a year (12 ____________).

41. God also made the stars to provide us with a measurement for our ______________.

42. God created the stars so ________________ in their courses, that they can also be used by navigators on ships and in airplanes to chart their courses, and to tell exactly where they are at night.  This is how ships and planes navigated at night, when there were no GPS satellites and services.

43. If the theory of evolution were true, then there would be no constellations of stars in the sky for very long, because the stars would be so rapidly moving ________ from each other, that they would no longer ________ up correctly.

44. There is another big problem for the evolutionists.  If all of the matter in the entire universe were condensed into a ball the size of a period—would it ______?
