The Bible is replete with references to encounters with "heavenly" beings, angels and emissaries of God. Most strikingly, to me, is are the Nephilim of 6:4, when "those who came down," the sons of God, mated with the "daughters of Man." This is what lead to Man's wickedness: mating with those "fallen" angels.


In Genesis, the "firmament" was renamed "heaven."
Hebrew Rakia.
So what was the firmament?
