The Scriptures Support The Truth of The Flat Earth
By Javon 'Truthseeker' Williams
Let us assume you have never heard of the terms 'flat earth,' or 'globe' before. Based on that premise, let us then allow the Bible to speak for itself.
Below are a number of scriptures taken from the King James Version of the bible, and they are initially without comment.
Read them over a couple of times, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal their meaning to you. Meditate on them, and without forcing an interpretation based on preconceived notions, ask yourself: 'What is the Bible showing me concerning the nature of the heavens, the earth, the sun, moon and stars?'
In the following sections, I will offer commentary on what I believe the scriptures have revealed to me. I have arranged the scriptures by topics in order to set the stage for what will follow; and I have placed the book of Job before Genesis, as many (if not most), scholars believe it is the oldest book of the Bible.
I have also emphasized words in bold for us to consider as we read. This is by no means an exhaustive list of Scripture; but is essentially a 'first run', to which I will add, as I find more scriptures in the future.
