Explore the firmament
Genesis 1 describes a firmament separating waters and later places the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens. The King James Version uses “firmament”; many modern translations use “expanse.”

A biblical cosmology study, in context
Biblical cosmology is the study of how the Bible describes the heavens, the earth, the seas, and the lights in the sky. This interactive model turns selected passages into a visual learning aid—not a claim that every reader interprets those passages the same way.
Read the passages
Open a label to see its King James Version reference. The model brings together texts such as Genesis 1, Job 37:18, Psalm 104:5, and Isaiah 40:22 for direct comparison.

Some readers connect these images to a biblical flat-earth cosmology; other Christian readers understand them poetically, observationally, or theologically. The visualization is one interpretive lens, not a scientific proof.
Read the flat-earth FAQWhat this model is—and is not
Biblical Cosmos 3D is a theological and historical visualization of selected ancient cosmological imagery. It is not to scale, a navigational map, or an astronomy simulator. Modern astronomy describes Earth as an oblate spheroid orbiting the Sun. This study is designed to help readers examine cited texts and interpretations, not replace scientific evidence or instruction.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about the 3D model, flat-earth searches, the firmament, and the Bible passages used in this study.
What is Biblical Cosmos 3D?
Biblical Cosmos 3D is a free interactive visualization of biblical cosmology. Explore a model of the firmament, the earth, the sun and moon, the heavens, and underworld imagery, then open the cited King James Version passages from the scene.
Is Biblical Cosmos 3D a flat-earth model?
It includes a flat-earth-style interpretation of biblical cosmological imagery because that is a subject many readers search for and debate. The visualization is an educational interpretation of selected texts—not proof that Earth is flat and not a scientific model of the universe. Interpretive notes distinguish biblical passages from later traditions where relevant.
Does the Bible say the earth is flat?
Christians interpret passages about the earth's foundations, the “circle of the earth,” and the firmament in different ways. Some readers understand them literally as a flat-earth cosmology; others read them as poetic, observational, or theological language. This site presents one visual interpretation and links its claims to passages so readers can assess them in context.
What does “firmament” mean in Genesis?
“Firmament” is the traditional King James Version rendering of the Hebrew word raqia in Genesis 1. Other English translations use words such as “expanse.” Biblical scholars and faith traditions differ over how the ancient term describes the sky and the ordered cosmos.
Is the 3D model scientifically accurate or to scale?
No. Biblical Cosmos 3D is an interpretive theological visualization, not an astronomy simulator, navigational map, or scale model. Modern astronomy describes Earth as an oblate spheroid orbiting the Sun; this site does not replace scientific evidence or instruction.
Which Bible translation is used for the verses?
The passages shown in the interactive model are from the King James Version (KJV), which is in the public domain. References are displayed with the scene so visitors can read the text in context.
How do I use the Biblical Cosmos 3D viewer?
Choose a camera preset or guided tour, drag to orbit, scroll or pinch to zoom, and select a labeled feature to open its related passages. The controls are grouped into tabs for cosmic views, events, miracles, creatures, places, and scripture anchors. On a keyboard, focus the viewer and use the arrow keys to orbit and plus or minus to zoom.
