I just realized a little problem with this. The New Jerusalem city landing on a dome, would have the same issue as landing on a globe.

The New Jerusalem will land on the earth not the dome.

Beautiful poetic description of creation. Something you ignore in your flat earth cosmology is what is described on the 5th day.

"and let birds fly above the earth in the open dome of the sky."​

Your model has a closed dome, the same as all the pagan flat earth views. Open dome is what you find in a globe model because no matter how far you travel, the dome is still open. You never reach an edge.

The dome is an open space where birds fly and the sun, moon and stars move.

Because God is completely incapable of flattening the landing site?

A large closed dome is an open space also. It would be redumdant to refer to it as an open dome if its meaning was how you interpret it.

fly above the earth, across the dome of the heavens

I don't understand; Shrewd Manager said the firmament is as a solid metal mirror and divides the waters above and below.

It is holding back waters that are above it, but no where in The Bible is it stated that the raqia is impassible as Jesus went up and through the raqia. To get back to the Father.

Try reading the first chapter of Ezekiel

I didn't say that's what the Bible says. I pointed out something a flat earth proponent said. So going by that, the firmament is a solid metal dome, but it's not impassible.

That would mean either the earth is half spherical via a dome, or the earth is completely spherical. Either possibly can be taken from that passage.

Although I don't know how longitude and latitude can be derived from the half sphere model.

Jesus could pass through locked doors.

I am not sure what post he said that the firmament is a solid metal dome.

But he may have been speaking about this verse in Job.
With Him, have you spread out the skies,
Strong as a cast metal mirror?

The irony of you making this statement.

I wish it were as you say prodromos, because that would mean the devil has a small voice in the world. Sadly, however, the world idolises the names Columbus, Galileo, Copernicus, Darwin and Einstein. Now what fellowship hath light with darkness?

I am just waiting for the first transgender astronaut. It will fit right in with the deception. Or it may have already happened, as i do not keep up with the lies from nasa.
Reminds me of this post I made a few years back:
Tell tulc I asked if he would like his loved ones to be on a bus going down a mountainside, whose driver just got judged for his lifestyle.

Well if his lifestyle impedes his capacity to control the vehicle...and being insane enough to think he's a woman, or a duck or a spoon for that matter, well thanks but I'll take my chances crossing the landmine-filled alligator-infested swamp to get home.

At 500 Kilowatts WLW could reach: It was truly “The Nation’s Station.”

The coverage from this station was enormous. Operating at 500 kilowatts, the 390-Ohm base impedance ran some 35 Amperes of RF. The unmodulated signal produced a RF field intensity of at least 6 Volts per meter at a distance of one mile from the tower. At night, the signal regularly went from Maine to Southern California and Mexico.

Requests came from daytime listeners in Hawaii and from Buckingham Palace.
Broadcasts were heard regularly in Columbia, South America. (Time Magazine Letters May 11, 1936)
