NASB | Acts 13:47 "For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE GENTILES, THAT YOU MAY BRING SALVATION TO THE END OF THE EARTH.'" |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 13:47 "For that is what the Lord has commanded us, saying, 'I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT FOR THE GENTILES, SO THAT YOU MAY BRING [the message of eternal] SALVATION TO THE END OF THE EARTH.'" [Is 49:6] |
Bible Question: I've been reading the bible in a few different places, and a lot of things talk about the ends of the earth and stuff about the earth being flat, and I have come across a site or 2 that talk about that as well. Just to give you an example, here's the 1 verse that pops in my head right now, Acts 13:47. It talka about the ends of the earth, there's been passages about the 4 corners of the earth, ect. What's up with all this, is the earth like really flat or something? |
Bible Answer: I don't know of the other places in the bible that refer to the earth being flat, but they might or might not be like Acts. "For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"[ESV Acts 13:47] In this one it is a bit more clear, it is not talking about the earth being flat, when it is said "the 4 corners of the earth" it is also not referring to the earth being flat, it is only saying "the whole world." I hope this helps and if you tell me the other passages I would be more then happy to comment on them as well. Brother in Christ, Rex |
