There is no mass of water above the earth now, but maybe in the pre-flood time there was. We just don’t know. All that water came from somewhere. From above and below the scriptures say. And it’s interesting to see how life spans began shortening dramatically after the flood. I wonder if the direct solar radiation had something to do with that. A layer of water could create a greenhouse type of situation prior to that. Anyway it’s fun to think about, but I tend to not think that the ancients were as ignorant as some seem to think they were. I really enjoyed thinking about the symbolic thoughts of water surrounding Zion and of the difficulties that make it challenging to get to Zion and protect it as well. Thanks!
