This is a continuation of our previous article on verses that support the earth is Flat. The first part we looked at 1) The earth is immovable 2) The Firmament that is around the earth 3) Heavenly bodies inside the firmament 4) Four Corners 5) Foundation of the earth 6) Sun moves not the earth.
Let us look at more.
HEIGHT AND DEPTH, LENGTH AND WIDTH
When discusses the distance between the earth and the Heavens, the Bible uses height and depth. These are terminologies that can only be used if the earth were flat and the heavens directly above it.
When discussing how big the earth is, Length and Width are used. Again, such terminologies are only applicable on a flat surface.
Job 11:8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
Job 11:9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
The Bible does not say longer than a sphere and broader than the curved ocean. You cannot use Length and Width to define a sphere.
Let us look at Daniel’s dream.
Dan 4:10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
Dan 4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
These two dreams make a spinning ball like earth impossible! The earth is FLAT.
FOOTSTOOL
Isa 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Mat 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Mat 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
The earth cannot be God’s footstool if it is always in continuous motion! Moreover, in the scientific view, you simply cannot have a footstool! We must remember the scientific notion that the earth is a ball is fronted by the Big Bang Theory of evolution which clearly is wrong!
STARS FALL ON EARTH
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
The fall of stars to earth is described similarly to ‘leaves’ falling off a tree. That would dispute the idea that the stars are millions of years away.
SUN CIRCUIT
Psa 96:10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:
The verses above which we saw in Part 1 prove that the earth is stationary.
Psa 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Psa 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Psa 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Here we seen the sun has a circuit (a roughly circular line, route, or movement that starts and finishes at the same place.) This is how day and night comes about, rising and falling of the sun. So again, the Bible proves the sun moves around the surface of the earth not the earth moving around the sun!
CIRCLE OF THE EARTH
Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Some people assume the word the circle of the earth to support that the earth is a sphere. In this verse, we have to ask ourselves if Isaiah, at the time of writing, could not make the difference between a circle and a ball.
Isa 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.
Isaiah knew the difference between a ball and a circle. So, why did he not use the word ball, when defining the world in 40:22?
Job 22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
HABITATION ON EARTH
Psa 33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
From Heaven, God can see the inhabitants of the earth, you and I, as grasshoppers, meaning we are tiny small from such a vantage point. Clearly you can figure out which image portrays a true representation of that.
Our finally section is Revelation, the coming of Christ and a flat earth!
