This is going to be a bit long. Let's review our imagery of biblical Hebrew cosmology, the metaphors used in Scripture to guide our thinking about how reality works. It is necessarily in the language of parables, but I am not afraid to guess about a more literal explanation at times. It relies some on Dr. Heiser and his large volume of references to the work of others, but I am not intimidated by his degrees. I'll disagree at times; your mileage may also vary.
