Is the earth flat or a globe?

Isa 40:22 It is he who sits upon the circle (Hebrew word H2329 : ‘chug’ from 2328; a circle:--circle, circuit, compass. of the earth), and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:

Many people look at YashaYahu 40:22 and say that because it’s mentioned circle of the earth the earth would be a globe/round ball. YashaYahu knew the difference between a circle (chug) and a ball (dur)

Isa 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball (Hebrew word H1754 : dur from 1752; a circle, ball or pile:--ball, turn, round about) into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy masters house.

Chug is compass while Dur is a ball round about. This is evidence that the earth is a flat disk. Just like a CD/DVD shape with a centre point and Yahuah sits upon that compass.

This is what is taught to us from childhood ‘Earth's orbital speed averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h; 67,000 mph), which is fast enough to cover the planet's diameter in seven minutes and the distance to the Moon in four hours’

This is what Yahuah’s word says Ps 104:19 ¶ He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

Let me also show you another evidence. Yahusha commanded the sun to stand still. He didn’t say ‘’earth stand still’’.

Jos 10:12 Then spoke Yahusha (Joshua) to Yahuah in the day when Yahuah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Yasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

There you go. The sun and the moon stood still and not the so called illusionary rotating globe. How difficult is to believe Yahuah’s word over men’s lies?

The earth has foundations

Pr 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

It’s not a ball suspended in a vaccum of space

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? … Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? — Job 38:4-6

The pillars of the earth are Yahuah’s, and he hath set the world upon them. — 1 Samuel 2:8

“When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm— Psalm 75:3

Many say these passages are ‘metaphorical’. While I agree that in the scriptures are a spiritual language but when it comes to Job 26:7 which should also be interpreted metaphorically the literalists would see it literal

Job 26:6  Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon hath no covering.

Job 26:7  He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Job 26:8  He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

The same book of Yob who said that the earth hangeth upon nothing also records that the skies are strong as a molten mirror. Some translations say ‘glass’. This is evidence of a dome.

 Job37:18 Can you, with Him, spread out the skies, Strong as a molten mirror?

People fail to see that the spiritual is hidden in the natural. The Metaphorical/parabolic language can be seen in Gen 2:4

Ge 2:4 ¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahuah Aluahym made the earth and the heavens,

The heavens and the earth were created in the day Yahuah made the earth and the heavens. The spiritual is concealed in the natural.

1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Adam was a figure of him who was to come i.e. Mashiyach (Rom 5:14). The natural makes way for the spiritual.

Job 26:6 Naked (arum) is Sheol before Him (Yahuah), and Abaddun (perdition) has no covering (kasuth)
Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over waste (thahu) and hangs the earth on nothing (balaymah).

'kasuth' is broken down to Hebrew letters  'Kaph Samek Uau Thu' . Kaph is the open palm covering the samek i.e. sin by joining (uau) to the covenant (thu). For Abaddun there is no covering. He is naked. Adam and Eve's nakedness shows a need for a covering. Their nakedness was not a picture of perfection but imperfection. Kasuth comes from the root word 'kasah' which means 'to cover'. The word ‘nothing’ is the Hebrew word ‘balaymah’ which has the root word ‘Balay’ H1097 which means lack/ignorant/without/none. The verse should correctly be translated as ‘’….and hangs the earth with lacking’’

Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over waste (thahu) and hangs the earth with lacking (balaymah).

Coming back to Job 37:18 which says the skies are strong as a molten glass.

Gen 1:7 And Aluahym made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament (raqya) from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

Gen 1:8 And Aluahym called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

H7549 ‘raqya’ (AHLB#: 2797 (b)) Hammer co: Sheet ab: ?: The pounding of a metal such as gold with a hammer to flatten it out for a metal sheet.

It’s consistent with what the book of Yob says about the skies.

The scriptures also say that Yahusha will roll the sky as a scroll

Isa 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Adon, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

So the earth does have foundations and the skies a dome (firmament which is a beaten thin sheet flattened like a molten glass will be rolled like a scroll).

So I will not go to see what NASA or scientists say but I will believe in Yahuah’s word of what he says because “ Let Aluahym be true and every man a liar’’

The four corners of the earth. Scriptures say the earth has four corners. Globe model cannot have four corners. It can only have a north pole and a south pole. Now some would say doesn’t it have east and west? But east and west are not poles. When it is said east it means one keeps going to the east. When it is said west it means one keeps going west. They are not poles or corners of the earth.

Re 7:1 ¶ And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Yahudah from the four corners of the earth.

 Since the heavens and the earth are hidden in the earth and the heavens let’s see what Aluahym says of New Yarashalam.

Rev 21:16 And the city (New Yarashalam) is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, twelve thousand furlongs; its length and width and height of it are equal.

The city has a definite east and a definite west as the present earth which is not possible on a globe model

Re 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

It also has walls surrounding as the present earth has

Re 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

There are no time keepers in the new Yarashalam. The Lamb is the light and his throne is in the midst of the city.

Re 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Aluahym did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Re 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of Aluahym

The elect of Aluahym who overcome this world would stand on the sea of glass which is figurative of going beyond this earthly realm into the shamayim.

The word of Aluahym shows that his throne is on the sea of glass

Rev4:6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

Eze 1:25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 26 ¶ And above the firmament (raqya) that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

Ex 24:9 ¶ Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:10 And they saw the Aluahym of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

Re 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

Re 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Aluahym and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for Yahuah Aluahym giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

The throne of Aluahym is above the shamayim on the transparent glass i.e. the compass of the earth but in the new Yarashalam his throne will be in the midst of the city whose streets will be the transparent glass.

The present earth has time keepers and we must believe what Yahuah’s word says and not the lies of what men say. They can’t go beyond the dome is sure because Babel tried to do that but Yahuah dispersed them in confusion (Gen 11).

Ps 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,5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit (taqupah) unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

H8622 ‘taqupah’ (AHLB#: 1431-J (i1)) Circle: The circle of the sun around the earth usually in reference to a time.  [freq. 4] |kjv: end, circuit, about| {str: 8622}

Whom will you believe? Man who says the earth revolves around the sun or Yahuah who says that the sun revolves around the earth?

What about Nebudchanazzer’s dream?

Da 4:20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

Though Nebudchanazzer’s dream was metaphorical it would be impossible on a globe model for all the earth to see the tree reaching the heavens. Only on a flat earth could one see Babel reaching to the shamayim.

Having said all this I know I may lose many friends but that’s ok because we must abide in truth and not in the lies of man. Yahuah’s word prevails. Shalum to all who abide in truth.
