Bible Question: A while back I read something about science discovering where the four corners of the earth really are. But I can't remember where they are. Does anybody know? |
Bible Answer: Greetings TommyS, Isaiah 11:12 and Revelation 7:1 and 20:8 all speak of "four corners of the earth." Here is a bit of commentary on these verses and "four corners of the earth"... [Isaiah] "11:12 the four corners of the earth: This figurative expression is similar to the words of Acts 1:8: "to the end of the earth." .." (1) [Isaiah] "11:12 four corners of the earth. This figurative expression depicts the whole world (Rev. 20:8). .." (2) [Rev] "7:1 four corners. The 4 quadrants of the compass; that is, the angels will take up key positions on earth.."
