### Old Testament **Psalms 24:1-2** The earth is the Lord's, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers. **Psalms 104:1-5** 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, 2 Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain. 3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; 4 He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers. 5 He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter forever and ever. **Jonah 2:1-7 (Poem)** 1Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish, 2and he said, “I called out of my distress to the Lord, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice. 3“For You had cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and waves passed over me. 4“So I said, ‘I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’ 5“Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head. 6“I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God. 7“While I was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, And my prayer rose up to You, Into Your holy temple. **Exodus 3:4 (Ten Commandments)** 3“You shall have no other gods before Me. 4“You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. ### New Testament **Matthew 4:8** “a high mountain” from which Jesus can see all the kingdoms of the earth **Matthew 4:17** “Kingdom of the heavens has come near” **Matthew 6:9-10** Lord’s prayer, “God’s kingdom/will here on earth as in heaven” **Matthew 11:23** Capernaum, a city, not exalted up to heaven, but going down to Sheol/Hades **Matthew 12:41** Sign of Jonah: belly of whale // “heart of the earth” **Matthew 12:42** Queen of the South comes “from the ends of the earth” **Matthew 28:16-20** On a mountain, the risen Jesus says, “All authority on heaven and earth belongs to me.” **Phil 2:9-10** the exalted Jesus was raised high, so every “in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.” **Ephesians: 1:19-22** Jesus’ resurrection exalted him to “sit at the right hand in the heavenly places” **Ephesians 2:1-7** We have been raised from the dead and “raised up and seated with him in the heavenly places” Up: [[biblical-cosmology]] [[heaven-and-earth-mackie]] [[Three-tier Biblical Cosmology]]
