God’s revelation to the ancient Hebrew prophets was about what they could see around them. The earth to them was nothing more and nothing less than the flat “land” before their eyes. They knew nothing of a “planet”, a sphere floating in the ether; a sun around which that planet revolved. They didn’t know the earth rotated on its axis. To them, the sun “came up” in one place and “went down” in another. To the writers of Scripture Sheol was “down” and heaven was “up.” We still repeat that construct today, adding such things to our own cosmological understanding as “multiverse” or “parallel universes.” “Dimensional space and time” are possible (even probable, mathematically) in our world even though there is scant tangible information about them. The Ancients also had some thoughts about creatures “under the earth” and “waters above the heavens.” What’s up with that? How does a modern Bible reader make sense of all this? “The sky is falling, the sky is falling.” So said Chicken Little, and the Ancients also believed it could happen—not only the sky, but the stars, moon, and maybe the sun. Stars were considered angels that could and would “fall” from the heavens in the End Times. Were they just figures of speech, or were they realities to be dealt with? Those are questions that deserve answers.
