1 00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:04,800 Out of the many questions I would like to begin with a 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,500 question that has caused Havoc to the faith of many okay. 3 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,500 Why? Because it was asserted that the 4 00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:18,800 Bible teaches that the Earth is flat. 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,900 Okay? So so it is very important that 6 00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,700 out of the many questions. Let us begin with this one. 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,800 Okay.

That's the Earth literally have 15 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:14,100 four corners. As mentioned in the Bible, what 16 00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:18,600 does the bible mean? When it talks about the four 17 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:23,600 corners of the Earth? All right, so all of that, we're 18 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,800 going to discuss so stay with us, but as of this moment, I 19 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,500 would like to make mention about this, greetings. 20 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,300 Okay.

Okay, so just look below and 53 00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,100 comment box and check for the what is that? 54 00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:32,500 Asked, Sunday live. Okay, so if you have other 55 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:37,300 questions, maybe you have not submitted questions or you want 56 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,900 to add. Questions. 57 00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:47,000 Okay you can send it. Okay, we are posting right now 58 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,400 the the site, okay? The link to that site where you 59 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,600 can write or submit your question. 60 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,200 So it's very important for us because I know from a 61 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,200 perspective of a new believer, when I was new in the Lord, I 62 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,100 had so many questions that come my way. 63 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:14,300 I mean, as I go along Long as I walk with my new journey in 64 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:15,500 Christ. Okay. 65 00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:20,200 A spiritual journey. I encountered a lot of questions 66 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,000 that are important. You know, I want them answered 67 00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:30,300 and so this is a way for you to just throw your question and 68 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,300 let's see, let's do our best to answer those. 69 00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:36,900 Okay. So the question that we will 70 00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:39,700 answer today is from someone anonymously. 71 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,400 Yes, I don't know who but the question goes like this. 72 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,400 Why does it say 1112 make it seem like the Earth is flat? 73 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:55,400 Okay, that's a good question. Okay, but actually what I really 74 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:04,100 want to address at this point is that does the bible really teach 75 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,700 that the Earth is flat? Because you know this is this is 76 00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:12,300 serious. You know, because some people 77 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:17,100 are using the scriptures to teach it on your stitching. 78 00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:22,200 Okay, and this is this is not to be taken lightly. 79 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:26,500 Now that is very important because if you misinterpret 80 00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:32,000 again let me say that again. If somebody will misinterpret or 81 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,300 take the Bible of the context or out of context that will lead to 82 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,400 a conclusion. Action that is going to cause 83 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,600 disbelief and doubt doubt in the heart of the believer. 84 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,500 And that is not good. That is the same strategy that 85 00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:57,700 the devil did in Genesis chapter 32, a Adam and Eve. 86 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,700 And so today I would like to expose such a wrong teaching 87 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:11,100 that you know that the Bible, you know, allegedly He teaches 88 00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:17,100 that the Earth is flat. That is not the case if that is 89 00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:22,800 not a correct interpretation. Okay, so let's let us begin. 90 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Let's read a say 11 12, it says he will raise a banner for the 91 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,300 Nations and gather the Exiles of Israel. 92 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,600 He will assemble the scattered people of Judah, from the four 93 00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:40,200 quarters of the Earth. Earth. 94 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,300 Okay. What? 95 00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:44,400 What does that mean? Four quarters of the earth, 96 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,000 okay? So let us add another passage of 97 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,400 scripture. That is that is also commonly 98 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,200 cited to support the claim or to support the theory that the 99 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,700 Earth is flat. Okay? 100 00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:07,500 So, let's see that Revelation 7:1 says, after this I saw four 101 00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:13,400 Angels standing at the For okay, four corners of the earth. 102 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,300 That's the Earth, have four corners, that's the question, 103 00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:20,700 but you see, it's literally in the Bible. 104 00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:25,900 It says standing at the Four Corners of the Earth holding 105 00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:30,900 back the Four Winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing 106 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:36,100 on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 107 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:44,300 So to give you the illustration of how How of how they want to 108 00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:50,800 interpret it, how they want you to see the, the picture, the 109 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,900 picture that they want you to see concerning the four corners 110 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:58,900 of the earth, okay? The concept with for literal 111 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,000 Corners, okay, I want, can you hand me that chocolate box? 112 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:08,000 Okay. All right. 113 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,300 So first I'd like to say Thank you. 114 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,100 Do the one who gave it. Who gave this again? 115 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:19,700 No no it's not Anonymous that from sweetheart. 116 00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:23,100 Are you there? Who gave the chocolate again? 117 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:25,800 Other Revolt. That's right. 118 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,200 Correct from Canada Paul. Paul been. 119 00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,200 Okay, Paul been and Eldon revati. 120 00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,200 Okay. Anyway from revati family maybe 121 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,400 from from all of them. Okay, so salamat po Thank you so 122 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,000 much for this, but I'm gonna use this chocolate box as our 123 00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:49,500 illustration, okay? So as you can see this box, have 124 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,200 four corners. Okay? 125 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,400 We have one, two, three, and four. 126 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:59,600 Now, some of the people think that, you know, the Earth is 127 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,100 flat and there there there was a God who says, you know, who is 128 00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:11,600 holding it and then the Waters of the sea We'll just fall like 129 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:19,900 a waterfalls on the sides. So that's the old, the ancient 130 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,400 thinking, you know? And until the time, that, that 131 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,400 was proven false, right? Especially some of the people 132 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,700 who journeyed around the earth, and they started from their 133 00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:37,200 country and ended up back to their country. 134 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,000 So, anyway, So let me just focus on this the Four Corners. 135 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,200 One, two, three four. Okay, so is this what the bible 136 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,700 really mean when it says four corners of the earth okay? 137 00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:58,100 Because this this box really have one two three, four four 138 00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:03,200 corners either it's a square or a rectangle but it has four 139 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,200 corners but you see there are things in the Bible that we 140 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:15,600 Should not take literally okay because some are metaphorical. 141 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,500 Okay. Some are like comparative. 142 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,600 Some are poetry. All right, so, it depends. 143 00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:27,100 Now, we need to understand as we interpret the scriptures, we 144 00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:31,700 need to think like a Jew. Okay, what do they understand 145 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,200 about those things? During that time. 146 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,200 Okay, you you, we have to consider very important because 147 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,000 Sure. That's why in a bible school. 148 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,600 One of the topic that I really that I highly recommend is the 149 00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:52,100 topic called hermeneutics. Okay, so anyway, this is online 150 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,500 virtual church, so we're not going to to tackle that. 151 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,200 So what does the bible mean? When it talks about the four 152 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,700 corners of the earth, that's the Earth literally have four 153 00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:08,800 corners as mentioned in the The Bible. 154 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,100 Okay. So, first know that in the 155 00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:16,600 Bible, there are descriptions, okay? 156 00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:21,600 That are not to be taken literally again, okay? 157 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,900 Because some are what again metaphorical, okay, also know 158 00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:33,200 that the Bible mentions this, okay, four cardinal directions. 159 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,000 Now, that is what it meant by four corners for the Directional 160 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,700 or four cardinal directions. When what are those? 161 00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:45,700 Okay? Remember when we were in school, 162 00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:49,800 we were taught about those cardinal directions, okay? 163 00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,800 So, if you've been to school, you know, you're familiar with 164 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,600 this, okay? The first one is what north 165 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,600 south east and west, okay. Again north south east and west. 166 00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,700 So the four quarters or the four. 167 00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:10,600 Nurse of the earth is what it dramatic. 168 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,000 It's an idiom, okay. It refers to the four distant 169 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,100 locations from the midpoint, okay? 170 00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:23,900 From the midpoint to the four main Compass directions. 171 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,500 So we have the north south east and west. 172 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,400 Now, since the Bible, okay, points to or Bible prophecies 173 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,200 are about Israel, then it is referring to places Beyond 174 00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:44,700 Israel, okay, going to wear from Israel to the north to the South 175 00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:50,000 East, where is a north-south, is this, is your East and then 176 00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:53,900 West, okay? So those were the directions, 177 00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,700 okay? If you're facing here, that's 178 00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:00,500 north south east and west. All right. 179 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,400 All right. So it's because I'm facing the 180 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,500 camera. So sometimes I get confused, 181 00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,800 where is East for you or for me? What Whatever. 182 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,200 So anyway, you understand that there is there is what we call 183 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,600 the four cardinal directions, north, south, east and west of 184 00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:21,500 okay. Now, connecting this to Israel, 185 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,600 these are the four directions from Israel, okay? 186 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,600 North south east and west. That is very simple. 187 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,800 It doesn't really mean that it has literal Four Corners. 188 00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:40,900 Okay, that is that simple. Now Read Isaiah 45 verse 22. 189 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,100 It says, turn to me and be saved. 190 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,400 All you ends of the Earth for I am God and there is no other. 191 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,900 Now, here's another scripture, it says ends of the Earth. 192 00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:58,500 So if this is planet Earth and you are may be located somewhere 193 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:02,300 in the center. Is there an end, okay, if you 194 00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:08,100 travel, if you move, let's say West. 195 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:14,700 Just do we get to the end and then you know, you're gonna fall 196 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:19,400 over somewhere. I don't know where according to 197 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,600 their belief know, so what does this ends of the Earth? 198 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,800 Me? Now, another scripture, some 67 199 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:33,600 verse 7 says, may God bless a still so that all the ends of 200 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,900 the Earth will fear Him. Mmm. 201 00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:41,900 So that all The ends of the Earth will fear him. 202 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:46,800 So now we see a phrase, this phrase ends of the Earth, okay? 203 00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:53,700 Does not refer to Flat Earth again, okay, if you interpreted 204 00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:59,100 this as referring to opportu pointing to or telling or 205 00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,600 teaching that the Earth is flat, it's wrong. 206 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,400 Because if you try to understand that verse it says, may God 207 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800 bless us still so that. All the ends of the Earth, May 208 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,100 will fear Him what the earth, the earth will fear him know. 209 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:21,800 It is, it actually refers to what the ends of the Earth 210 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:29,200 refers to the people who inhabit distant places, meaning to say 211 00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:36,300 those people who live beyond Israel, for example, those who 212 00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:40,400 live in the up, Most part of the earth, okay? 213 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,600 In a very far away place. Okay? 214 00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:48,100 So it's it's a style of expression, okay? 215 00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:52,000 It's a style of speech, okay? It's a mode of expression. 216 00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:56,000 So when we, we say things like that, when we use phrases like 217 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000 that, it really doesn't mean that literally, okay? 218 00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:04,400 But it means that people who live in distant places. 219 00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:08,300 Okay. That's why it says it says, Is 220 00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:14,599 that what that those people who live, who inhabit distant 221 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:16,500 places? That is what it meant that they 222 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:20,700 may watch fear, the lord. That's, is that sound 67 verse 223 00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,099 7? So that those people who live in 224 00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:28,800 those Faraway places. May fear the lord. 225 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,500 Okay. That does, that has nothing to 226 00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:36,800 do with flutters. Okay, with flat Earth theory. 227 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,100 Nothing. So Again, it's idiomatic and we 228 00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:49,300 also use some of the those kind of Egypt today, okay? 229 00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:52,200 Referring to a distant location, right? 230 00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:55,200 So, it simply means it's not here. 231 00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:59,800 But far from here. It's far from here. 232 00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:06,400 Far from where we are, that is what we mean by the people who 233 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,500 live in distant places. Azure ends of the Earth. 234 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:20,800 Now we're going to to discuss the main or the key scripture to 235 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,200 this message. Okay? 236 00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:27,600 So the question again that I'd like to repeat and throw is that 237 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,700 that's the bible really teach that the Earth is flat. 238 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,400 Okay. Or is the Flat Earth theory 239 00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:40,700 really biblical? Okay? 240 00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:47,800 That is very important because that is where the devil was 241 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,400 trying to work with. Or he was he was trying to 242 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,600 distort the truth or twist it in a way that it went sound to you 243 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,900 that the bible really teaches that the Earth is flat. 244 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:09,300 Okay, so now That we that we we found out. 245 00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:13,800 Okay, that we discussed that, you know the Flat Earth theory 246 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:22,000 from Revelation, 7:1 is a 1112. Say a 4522 some sixty seven 247 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:29,500 verse seven were really a misinterpretation, okay, it was 248 00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:34,800 taken of the context. All right, so let's Go to 249 00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:41,700 Isaiah, 40 verse 21, okay? The Bible friends. 250 00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:46,400 As we read this, the Bible does not say that the Earth is flat, 251 00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:49,700 but it does imply listen to this. 252 00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:55,600 It does imply, it does not say, but it does imply that the Earth 253 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,900 is round. Okay, round solid object or 254 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,700 spherical. Okay. 255 00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:08,800 So is that biblical? Okay, now I know that if you do 256 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:15,200 some research, you will read the different opinions and variety 257 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,000 of explanation from different Bible scholars. 258 00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:25,600 But you know, it's very good that we, you know, that we 259 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,900 explain this in a way that is understandable, even to new 260 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,200 Believers. Okay. 261 00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:38,800 Okay, instead of just, you know, taking it or expounding it from 262 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,300 the original version which is a the Hebrew word. 263 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Let us try to examine it, okay? So, all right, it's a of 40, all 264 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,200 right, Isaiah 40 verse 21, it says, do you not know have you 265 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,800 not heard? Has it not been told you from 266 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,200 the beginning. Have you not understood? 267 00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:10,300 Stood, since the Earth was founded verse 22, he or God sits 268 00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:16,100 in throne above the circle of the earth and its people are 269 00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:21,200 like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens 270 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:27,900 like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. 271 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,200 Now Now, as you can see, in verse 22, it says he sits in 272 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:41,500 throned, above the circle of the Earth above, the circle of the 273 00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:47,500 Earth, again, above the circle of the End Circle of the earth. 274 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,400 Now, the word Circle, I want you to focus on the word circle now 275 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,700 the Hebrew for that is choked cook. 276 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Okay, cook there. Has so many spelling to this. 277 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:09,900 The pronunciation is KH o OG. So it's cooked means, it means 278 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:16,200 round or Circle, okay? But the translators, I use the 279 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,000 word Circle instead of round, but although in English it's so 280 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,400 it's just, it's like the same but it's more or of a round 281 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,400 thing than just a circle. Now, let me explain. 282 00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:35,400 So it says that the word is verb is you move around in circle, 283 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,700 but the now needs a sphere sphere. 284 00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:42,200 It means spear. So I would like to use a ball. 285 00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:50,400 Okay, as our illustration, okay, this is a, this is a ball, 286 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:55,900 right? Okay, so we read in verse 22. 287 00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:02,500 It says he sits in throne, Above the circle of the earth. 288 00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:09,000 God sits on his throne above the circle of the earth. 289 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,300 That means to say, okay, when you are above the ball like 290 00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:19,600 this, okay, I am on top. Okay, the ball is down there. 291 00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:23,000 I'm above. Okay, the ball. 292 00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:29,000 What I see or what we see is a round object. 293 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,900 OK? All What I see is what a round 294 00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:34,400 object. Okay. 295 00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:37,100 A circle. Okay, if you don't want to use 296 00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:39,700 the round, then you can say a circle, all right? 297 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,400 But if you look from below or beneath like this, okay? 298 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,100 So I look up, okay, what I see is still a round thing, object 299 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,000 or a, what a circle now from another angle. 300 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,600 From this point, from this angle on one side. 301 00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:04,600 And I still see a circle. Okay, round, it's still a 302 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,500 circle. Now, what about on this side? 303 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,000 It's still a circle. Okay. 304 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,100 Meaning to say, okay, in in every angle from all sides, 305 00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:25,500 okay, if I spin it like this, if I rotate it, if it Remains the 306 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:32,100 Same, if I still view it as Round or Circle, meaning to say 307 00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:34,200 it is. What, what is the point? 308 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:40,000 The point is, it's not just a circle, it's not just round, but 309 00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:48,500 solid round object, okay? So you see a circle on any side? 310 00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:52,500 Why? This side that side that side or 311 00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:59,500 on top below or beneath it? Still it's Circle, okay, why? 312 00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:04,600 Why does it mean pain or retain its form as a circle? 313 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,100 It's because it's not just a circle. 314 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:16,100 It's a solid Circle or a solid round object. 315 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,000 Now, what do we call solid round object? 316 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,400 One word for that is spear. Okay, one word for that is what 317 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,200 again, it's a spear. All right, so let's say you are 318 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,400 Neil Armstrong or the, the astronauts. 319 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,600 Okay. So this is the planet Earth and 320 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,500 you are, do we have a toy there that it's spaceship or whatever? 321 00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:45,700 That remote controls. Give me that remote, okay, let's 322 00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:50,400 say, okay, this remote control, your flying above the Earth, 323 00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:55,200 what you see, okay above the Earth, okay? 324 00:25:55,500 --> 00:26:00,200 The Earth for you as an astronaut appears to be what A 325 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,000 circle circular thing, object. Okay. 326 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,200 Now as you travel around the Earth, okay? 327 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:14,600 Now from this point you see still a what a circle circular 328 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,000 thing object, okay. It's a big planet. 329 00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:23,300 All right, regardless, which side or Direction you go, you 330 00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:28,400 will always view the Earth as a circle. 331 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:36,300 That means to say, The Earth is a solid round circle one word 332 00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:40,900 for that spear. All right there, I hope you got 333 00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:44,200 that. Very simple analogy, very simple 334 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,000 explanation. Now to counter this, okay, I 335 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,200 want the okay. I want to I want to share 336 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,600 something, don't do we have a smaller ball right there or give 337 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:02,400 me an egg from The Ref, okay? Let me explain to you now if 338 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,200 this is planet Earth, okay? I hope. 339 00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:09,900 Thank you sweetheart. Okay, this is the egg, this is 340 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:14,700 the moon. Okay, all people, okay, of 341 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:19,600 course, both are round. All right and all people of the 342 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,200 Earth from different ages and time. 343 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,300 Generations have seen the moon. Okay. 344 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,500 They all have seen the moon and they know that it travels It 345 00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:36,200 travels in an orbit, okay? There is an orbit and it what it 346 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,700 rotates. Okay, the whole time. 347 00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:47,200 It's it's rotating around the earth the whole time, but you 348 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,200 know what? It's spinning. 349 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,700 Okay, but then the whole time so it's not and it retains the 350 00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:01,300 circle thing. Alright, so it is not actually 351 00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:07,300 just a circle but it's what a round object, okay? 352 00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:16,400 So again The people during the ancient times. 353 00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:23,100 Okay, they know that even the Moon is round, it's spherical. 354 00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:27,100 It's a spear, okay? Because it was what circling 355 00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:29,700 around the earth and at the same time, it's spinning. 356 00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:35,900 All right. So but can I have the coin? 357 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:38,500 Where is that going? Then adjust the coin. 358 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,800 Sweetheart coin. Do you have a coin? 359 00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:50,200 All right, so let's say this is the moon. 360 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,700 Okay? This is the earth. 361 00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:56,000 Okay, this is the moon. So you see in my hand is a coin, 362 00:28:56,500 --> 00:29:02,600 all right, what if asked this Moon rotates around the earth 363 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,600 and its spinning like this, right? 364 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:13,300 So what what will the people of all ages and generations of say 365 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:16,900 about the moon? They'll say that the Moon is 366 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,400 Flat. Why? 367 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,700 It's very easy because on one side, it Circle. 368 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,100 And then on the other side, it's flat, right? 369 00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:35,400 So, so I asked the moon travels on its orbit around the Earth 370 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,800 and it's rotating like this. So, at one point, you see, the 371 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,900 Moon is circle and not Circle, and circle and not Circle, 372 00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:50,400 that's the thing. But no it's not like that it 373 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:59,100 retains, okay, its roundness as it travels around the earth and 374 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:05,800 at is as it moves around the earth and its spinning but you 375 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:12,200 don't see a flat thing at some point, okay. 376 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:18,400 It's always Round. So in the same thing, the same 377 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,700 manner. If where's my spacecraft in the 378 00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:29,500 same manner, if you travel in space, okay, at any angle, the 379 00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:33,800 Earth will remain round or Circle. 380 00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:42,300 So it's a solid round circle. So when God is seated, okay, 381 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,800 what's the verse again? Let me read that verse the verse 382 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,000 22. It says he sits enthroned above 383 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,800 the circle of the earth. That means to say God is above 384 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,100 the sky, the Earth, the circle of the earth, observing, okay? 385 00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:04,000 As it looks like a circle, okay? But actually, that is just a 386 00:31:04,008 --> 00:31:10,100 term but whether you are on top or any at any angle, you still 387 00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:13,600 view it as a circle as a round thing. 388 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:20,100 So, It is a what solid round object spear. 389 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:26,100 So the Bible does stitches at the bible, teach that the Earth 390 00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:29,000 is a sphere. Okay. 391 00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:32,700 It implies that the Earth is a sphere. 392 00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:39,000 Okay, now I'm going to give you a better illustration because I 393 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:45,800 understand that the Moon is so small because this is going is 394 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,500 very small. Now can you hand me the the 395 00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:50,500 plate? Okay. 396 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,100 My brother-in-law from the u.s. gave us a set of this plates. 397 00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:00,100 Okay. It's a it's Signed inspired by 398 00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:05,000 the Indian Brethren because they usually come to the house and we 399 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,500 eat here. They cook here and I miss those 400 00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:13,700 days especially those days years before the pandemic. 401 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,900 Alright. So we you know, we used to 402 00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:23,700 congregate the in this house and fellowship and play and okay so 403 00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:29,300 we have this plate, okay? So this plate as you can see, 404 00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:36,400 it's a circle but if you rotate it, Now it's no longer you'll 405 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,200 see the flat side. Okay, let me adjust, okay, 406 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,600 that's the flat side and now it's a circle and then a flat 407 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,500 side and then the circle and a flat side, okay? 408 00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:59,900 So it is not not solid Circle, not solid round object because 409 00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:07,000 there is a point where if you rotate it Okay, it's not Circle. 410 00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:12,400 This one looks at you see a circle, okay. 411 00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:21,600 I shape form, I mean Circle. But this this this angle it's 412 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,600 not a circle. Okay. 413 00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:33,300 But Again going back, going back to this ball. 414 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:41,500 Okay, you see a circle. You see a round shape object but 415 00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:51,800 if you try to rotate it or spin it, okay, at any point, while 416 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:58,300 it's spinning, it retains the shape of a circle meaning to 417 00:33:58,300 --> 00:34:05,400 say, it's what, it's not just one plane but it's a solid Round 418 00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:15,800 object, it's called the spear. All right, so I hope that gave 419 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:22,699 you an Insight or a revelation today that the Earth is not 420 00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:24,600 flat. Okay? 421 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:31,900 And I want to you, I want us to read this final coat that I that 422 00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:32,800 I wrote. Okay. 423 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:40,900 So just a summary. Okay, therefore Therefore the 424 00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:48,600 Flat Earth theory is unbiblical and unscientific, okay, the 425 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,900 assertion alleging that the Bible teaches the Earth was flat 426 00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:01,100 was invented as a counterfeit to destroy the inerrancy of 427 00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:05,800 scriptures and to cause confusion and doubt in the 428 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,900 hearts of many, okay? Okay. 429 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:16,000 That is why I am so concerned about this issue on, you know, 430 00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:20,000 the Earth is flat. According to those people who 431 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,500 teaches who Advocates that this stitching was originally from 432 00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:28,900 the Bible when it's not okay, it is not. 433 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:35,400 So the the Flat Earth Doctrine is the Flat Earth Doctrine. 434 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:41,400 Using biblical passages was meant to Ruin to destroy 435 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,300 biblical, truth Integrity. Okay. 436 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,000 It was meant to destroy your faith in the Bible. 437 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,300 It was meant to destroy your faith. 438 00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:58,600 In the word of God, okay? They want you to believe that 439 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,600 the Bible is is false. Okay, is proven false or debunk 440 00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:12,500 refuted by modern science. Because if you you took the bait 441 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,900 that you know, that the Bible teaches the Earth is flat, and 442 00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:22,400 then you went to school or you read some books and it was 443 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,200 scientifically. It was proven that the Earth is 444 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:29,600 not flat. Then you use you, you start, you 445 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,700 begin to doubt that the Bible is true, okay? 446 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,400 So they will tell you lies. So that when you believe the 447 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,100 lie, Bye. Okay, because they will convince 448 00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:47,200 you that such teaching originates from the word of God. 449 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,100 And then the next thing that will happen inside your in your 450 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,800 heart and in your mind, okay? The next thing that will happen 451 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,900 to you is you will begin to doubt the word of God. 452 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,200 That's why it is very important to address such a question. 453 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,200 Okay. So they want you to believe that 454 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:16,000 again that the Earth is flat because later, or after that 455 00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:21,600 brainwashing thing. When you compare, when you 456 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,000 compare that flatter thing to the actual scientific 457 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:35,000 discoveries, the Earth that they presented supposedly presume 458 00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:39,400 that they presume to be. Be from the Bible will cause you 459 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,700 to doubt the entire teachings of the Bible. 460 00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:46,100 Okay. So that's a Havoc, all right? 461 00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,500 That that can cause a lot of trouble. 462 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000 So that is the same strategy that the, the serpent used in 463 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,700 Genesis chapter 3, when he tried to attempt a Adam and Eve to eat 464 00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:05,300 the forbidden fruit from The Forbidden tree. 465 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,800 Okay? So if you The in the Book of 466 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,600 Genesis, you know what God Said, but then the devil said, oh, you 467 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,000 shall not surely die for. God knows that. 468 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,000 When you eat of it, you will become like God. 469 00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:23,100 So you see the devil will use a little truth and then he will 470 00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:27,900 try to twist it by adding a little lie, okay? 471 00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:33,600 So the same thing, the Flat Earth Advocates will use the 472 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,200 truth, will use the Bible and then twist it. 473 00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:45,800 A little bit misinterpreted push it off the context so that it 474 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,100 will create so that they can create deception. 475 00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:55,100 All right? So the devil will just plant a 476 00:38:55,107 --> 00:39:00,500 little lie as though it came from God then if you buy it okay 477 00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:08,900 if you bite it you will start to doubt God and be Easily. 478 00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:12,100 All right. So so don't do that. 479 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,100 Alright, now that we have discussed this online and if, 480 00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:21,900 you know, someone who is confused, who doesn't know what 481 00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:26,100 to believe or whether the Bible is true or not regarding these 482 00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:29,600 things or regarding dinosaurs, or that's another subject, by 483 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,100 the way, if you'd like, to throw that question, I can also 484 00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:34,300 discuss with you about dinosaurs, okay? 485 00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:39,900 But that's not our topic.
