Questions for Dr. Lisle:

Dr. Lisle, share with us your salvation testimony and how it led you to study physics and astronomy.

How does Psalm 19 prophetically demonstrate the Lord Jesus Christ in declaring God’s glory in the heavens?

Guide us through your understanding of the waters above the firmament in Genesis 1 and how it might connect to the sea of glass in heaven in Revelation 4 and 15?

Verses in Isaiah and Revelation refer to the heavens stretched out as a curtain, rolled together as a scroll, and departing as a scroll. How would you understand this to take place?

Do you think these passages could allude to a holographic universe theory? 

At Bible Mysteries we discount the idea of a flat earth and find it fundamentally flawed. What is your take on those believers who insist the earth is a flat disk with a solid “dome” firmament over it?

Revelation 9, 11, and 17 refer to a bottomless pit. Considering the force of gravity, would this not be further proof of a spherical earth?

Do you think there may have been a planet between Jupiter and Mars that was destroyed to create the asteroid belt? Might this tie into Psalm 89:10-11 and Rahab being broken in pieces?

What do you think may actually occur when the sun turns into darkness, and the moon turns into blood per Joel 2 and Acts 2?

Christ warned about fearful sights and signs in the heavens in Luke 21. Do you suspect this could include seeing the fallen angels and war in heaven of Revelation 12?

Explain how you think New Jerusalem will be situated in connection to the new heaven and earth of Revelation 21?
