1 | Where ARE the four corners of the earth? | Is 11:12 | Taleb | 106305 | ||
TommyS, here is some of the info I promised about the four corners of the earth. I understand that you have read all the other "views" on this thread, so I’ll try not to be repetitious. Under the direction of Drs. Robert R. Newton, William H. Guier and George C. Weiffenbach, scientists at John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, in Silver Springs, Maryland worked under a contract with U.S. Naval Bureau of Naval Weapons. The study was initiated because orbiting satellites “dipped” for unknown reasons. With intricate measuring equipment, they were able to “locate the reason”. They discovered the four corners, or pyramid-like covered several thousands of square miles of the earth’s surface. The “high points” are about 220 feet below what they would be if the world were actually round. The “low points” are about 253 feet below. P.S. Here is a small scale experiment that "sort of proves" what happens. Take a small bowl of water and blow on the water gently. You will notice "the dip" and you will notice the water heaping elsewhere in the bowl. Well, on those locations I sent earlier - this is the situation with our world. Interesting how ONCE again, science backs up His word. I have a hard time not getting excited waiting to see what the next Bible verse will be "better explained." Hope this info helps. Blessings, Taleb |

Greetings Taleb! Are these the effects of 'gravity wells'? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello, Tim, One could say that gravity wells are responsible, I suppose. Our scientists know when a satellite orbiting earth cruises “off course” down to fractions of an inch. The variance of the oceans’ mass causes different fluxes by pulling the satellite. This gravity pull is what originally prompted the study, which led to the discovery of earth’s four corners. The wind blows down on that part of the ocean’s surface, and gravity does it job. Interesting that, while some dismiss this as a “play on words”, the article I gleaned this from had no mention about Scripture, but entitled it “The Earth Has Four Corners.” And because the “cause” is a result of “wind” – how else can we piece together what Rev. 7:1 mentions. “Following this, I saw four angels stationed AT THE FOUR CORNERS of the earth, restaining the FOUR WINDS of the earth, so that no wind might blow on land or SEA or on any tree. If I wasn’t a firm believer in my God, the creator, and I hear of this discovery and read what how the Scripture MATCHES what science discovered --- I would have to question my unbelief. Blessings, Taleb |
