    Genesis 1:6 KJV

    (6) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

    The "firmament" or "expanse" is a metaphor about the opening of the hearing ear and the "waters" are people ( Revelation 17:15).

    The hearing of the Word of Truth from Heaven among many people divides them: the believers from the unbelievers.

    Even the word for "ear" in Hebrew (ozen) means "broadness, to expand".

    Job 36:10 KJV

    (10) He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

    God opens up our ears to His knowledge that is sent from Heaven via the Spirit. The "firmament" is called "Heaven" for what we hear is from there. Jesus said often: he that has an ear, let him hear

    Revelation 3:6 KJV

    (6) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    The good news is reported unto us with Holy Spirit is sent down from Heaven

    1 Peter 1:12 KJV

    (12) Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

    Jesus healed the deaf man by looking into Heaven as He opened up his ears. The "firmament" or expanse is the opening up of our ears to God's knowledge from Heaven.

    Mark 7:33-34 KJV

    (33) And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

    (34) And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

    Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word/Saying of God who said "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." The "waters" above the Heaven believe upon what they hear while those waters under do not believe. The "firmament" is firm and supports the waters above as they believe in what they hear.
