Tim Mackie unpacks how the Bible views the cosmos as a three-tier cosmos: heaven(s), earth, waters. Heaven(s): God's space Earth: Human's space Waters: "Nobody's space" The heavens is where God rules, where God's kingdom is. It is high in the sky above the clouds, which act as God's chariot. The earth is where we are. The earthly kingdom was ruled by Satan before Jesus's victory. The waters is what is underneath the earth. It is related to death, the grave, Sheol, and the "underworld." It is best described in Jonah as the belly of the whale was a symbolic representation of this. Up: [[biblical-cosmology]] [[heaven-and-earth-mackie]] [[heaven-and-earth]]
