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: Hi, road rash! Next I saw four angels, standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the world to keep them from blowing over the land or the sea or any tree. (Revelation 7:1) 'The Lord Yahweh says this, "Even if I send my four dreadful scorges on Jerusalem--sword, famine, wild beasts and plague--to denude it of human and animal, (Ezekiel 14:21) These two passages talk about the number "four;" rather than thinking that it pertains to determining that the world is flat, I think of the four winds (corners) as the four points in the compass: North, South, East, West (four points of travel for the wind, nature and humanity). He who sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, the inhabitants of which are like grasshoppers, stretches out the heavens like a cloth, spreads them out like a tent to live in. (Isaiah 40:22) "above the circle of the earth," could be easily read as above the obr or sphere of the earth. God Bless! Angel |
