A Round World
Excerpts from: www.remnantsofgod.org
1. The Earth is a Circle/Sphere – What the Bible Says
The Bible actually says the Earth is a Circle/Sphere
Isaiah 40:22, “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:”
No getting around that. But as expected, some that have gotten used to believing lies cannot see the truth as it is written and therefore can only embrace lies as truth and vice-versa now-a-days. Many are now known to actually use lies to confirm the earth is flat by twisting what Isaiah 40:22 clearly says about the earth being a circle. They claim that “the circle of the earth” can also be defined as a plate because a plate if circular in form while at the same time flat. Nowhere in this verse does it suggest, intimate or even indicate that the the “circle of the earth” is flat. In fact, the word “circle” has never been known to denote a flat object in Scripture. It is merely the invention of men. In fact, the word “circle” in this passage is actually defined in Scripture:
AV – circle 1, circuit 1, compass 1; 3
1) circle, circuit, compass
2) (BDB) vault (of the heavens)
2. Not a Salvation Issue – What the Spirit of Prophecy Says
a. Some Christians claim the flat earth message is a salvation issue
As hard as this may be to believe, some Christians have started to declare the flat earth theory must be proclaimed so as to herald the arrival of Messiah, and some go so far as to declare it a “salvation issue.” In other words, if you don’t believe the earth is flat, or tell others it is flat, you will not gain Heaven.
“I hope Brother Wilcox will be a truly converted man. This is his great need at the present time. He wants meekness, he wants humility, he wants genuine piety, and without it he is as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. His soul and your soul need the indwelling of Jesus. Whether the world is round or flat will not save a soul, but whether men believe and obey means everything.”–Letter 43, 1887.
“The great question is, What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? This is the science of what constitutes the higher education, and when this question is properly adjusted, the capabilities of the whole man are called into full exercise. There will be no agitation of the question whether the world is round or flat, but the whole burden of the soul is: What shall I do to inherit eternal life? We need now to make every talent that God has given us to be employed to His name’s glory.” — 21MR 414.5 “My answer was, “I have a message to this people in regard to the life they must live in this world to prepare them for future life which measures with the life of God. We have nought to do with the question whether this world is round or flat. [The important thing] is to serve God with full purpose of a renewed heart, sanctified and made holy by the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ.” Every issue will be brought in in various places by some persons who are not worked by the Spirit of God. Last night the Lord gave me words to speak to the people. Satan has a multitude of questions to bring in through various minds and ingenuity as all-important. Take the Word, plainly stating the truth for 1904; and the messenger that was sent of God had a message the same as the people need now. He was John the Baptist. –21MR 421.4,5 “There will be no agitation of the question whether the world is round or flat, but the whole burden of the soul is: What shall I do to inherit eternal life? We need now to make every talent that God has given us to be employed to His name’s glory.” {21MR 414.5} |
b. “The Sabbath was made for a round world”
The Sabbath Made for a Round World “God rested on the seventh day, and set it apart for man to observe in honor of His creation of the heavens and the earth in six literal days. He blessed and sanctified and made holy the day of rest. When men are so careful to search and dig to see in regard to the precise period of time, we are to say, God made His Sabbath for a round world; and when the seventh day comes to us in that round world, controlled by the sun that rules the day, it is the time in all countries and lands to observe the Sabbath. In the countries where there is no sunset for months, and again no sunrise for months, the period of time will be calculated by records kept… The Lord accepts all the obedience of every creature He has made, according to the circumstances of time in the sun-rising and sun-setting world. . . . The Sabbath was made for a round world, and therefore obedience is required of the people that are in perfect consistency with the Lord’s created world.”–Letter 167, 1900. {3SM 317.1,2} MR389 Keeping the Sabbath on a Round World “The cultivation of certain faculties to the neglect of others makes Bro. Andrews a one-sided man. When on the subject of the round world, Bro. Andrews could scarcely think or talk without dwelling upon this subject. He carried this matter to extremes. He wearied the readers and listeners to his lengthy arguments upon that subject. Precious time was used up in talking and writing upon that subject, which needed to be canvassed, but did not require so great thoroughness. Bro. Andrews was wearying himself and others, and at the same time was leaving undone the weightier matters. And more recently, months of precious time have been used up in wearisome labor, chasing after the dishonest quibbles of a man who once kept the Bible Sabbath, but afterward rejected it. His opposition is so great upon the Sabbath question that he is insane upon the subject.” -{PH159 188.1} |
3. The Earth is a Sphere – What Science has to Say
a. NASA DID NOT alter orbital photos of Earth
As hard as this may be for some to swallow, some flat earth theorists claim that NASA alters the photographs they take in orbit to make the earth to appear round. If the only photos we had of the earth from high altitudes were from NASA, this claim would be difficult to rebuke. But, thanks to the Internet and literally millions of pictures from remote control airplane enthusiasts and amateur solid rocket hobbyists, we have a literal mountain of pictures to confirm they are wrong again. Check out the list of videos posted below. Very interesting to say the least and some of them have amazing videography!

b. Phases of Moon prove Earth is a Sphere
If the earth is flat and plate shaped, then it has to be facing the Sun 24/7, else we would never have daylight. It would also have to be facing the Sun 24/7 to be able to make a perfect circle to cover the Sun in a lunar eclipse, or even the monthly phases of the moon. Well then, if it’s flat as they assume, then the Sun could NEVER go down! Yes, the flat earth theorist does claim the Sun hits the earth with a glancing blow to allow day and night, but if that’s true, why is the eclipse round? It should be at the very most crescent shaped if it is truly a plate. Or … and you now need to be sitting down for this one, the shadow of the earth would need to be square because the flat earth theorists also believe the earth is a concave disc sitting in a massive square. They believe this because of Professor Orlando Ferguson’s research. Click on the pic to the right of this paragraph for a blown up version of his research to see what they are actually teaching here.
As you can see by clicking on that pic to the right, the earth would then have to cast a square shadow on the surface of the moon whenever an eclipse was occurring. Now, I’ve been on this planet a few decades, and I know what I’ve seen with my own eyes whenever an eclipse came upon us. But I have to ask the reader, have you ever seen a square shadow on the moon during an eclipse? No? Then you too must agree, the earth is NOT flat!
c. Curvature of the Earth videos
In this section I’ll just post links to actual videos showing the curvature of the earth. Make special notice of the first video. Flat Earth theorists also claim there are no satellites in orbit. They claim the only pictures we see of them are drawings or digital artwork. In the first video you can see them plainly. Yes, it’s sped up to allow the viewer to see more of the planet as it spins by. Also notice how the cloud formations are not “the same” as some Flat Earth theorists claim. They state all the pictures of the world in space are from one doctored photo of NASA from the 1960’s.
By the way… check out video #10! Also notice video #3. Flat Earthers say there is an ice wall encircling the “circle of the earth” that sits in a square pan. Notice you see clear through the atmosphere as the planet spins by! Where’s the ice wall backing all that? PLUS, they always claim NASA never shows the earth with the stars, yet this video confirms they lie. (as does video #2. Can you see the big (little?) dipper as it floats by? Watch for it on the top center around 2:58 to 3:05 in the video.

Think about this. If the Flat Earth Theorist was correct, then that means every pilot, ever model rocket enthusiast, ever weather balloon launcher, and every weatherman, every air traffic controller, every bridge builder, every rocket manufacturer, every long range target shooter, every amateur astrologer and every photo developer from the early 1930’s to the present digital camera age wherein photos can be easily altered would have to be in on the lie! How on earth were they able to get so many people to build such a conspiracy as this? One in which little children to rational thinking adults would agree to proclaim the world round when they knew it was flat? That being said, what’s more believable? Your own eyes, or the lies those that seek to pull you away from Christ are preaching?
d. VIDEO of Space Station Transiting 2017 ECLIPSE
Not only does this video expose the deception of flat earth believers regarding orbital man-made technology, it’s an amazing feat these young men pulled off using mathmatics. They not only calculated to the exact second, they also calculated the exact location on planet earth (a farm in Wyoming) were the International Space Station (ISS) could be seen from earth transiting across the Sun during the eclipse of 2017. If you check out the picture on the left (click the pic to zoom in) you will see a red circle. I placed that circle there to show the ISS as it appeared in transit across the Sun when I paused the video. I paused the video a split second after they did their countdown for when the ISS would be traveling in front of the Sun. That strangely shaped spot inside that red circle is not a Sun spot. In fact, click here and go to 3:29 in the video when the countdown is about to end from 3-2-1, and the ISS literally zips by very fast on its orbital track across the Sun. Keep watching and they will show it move across the Sun in slow motion. (at 3:50)
So, why is this important? Flat earthers claim we have no satellites in orbit above earth at all. They say all the cell towers and large antennas have been doing all the TV, radio and Internet signals all along. The truth is they have to make this claim because a flat earth is not only flat, it’s not a spinning globe and since they claim it is not spherical, nothing can orbit a flat earth like the satellites we have had up there for literally decades. And so to get around their snafu, they simply lied. But this short video proves hands down that the ISS is in fact in orbit of a round world.
The flat earth believers also claim the ISS is a prop on planet earth wherein NASA does a video from every now and then to keep the lie going. But if you watch the video you can see the shape of the huge solar panels and the living pods zipping across the eclipse without too much trouble that confirm the ISS not only exists, it is shaped in the exact same way as all the NASA videos and pics report.

e. The Foucault Pendulum confirms Earth’s rotation
The Foucault pendulum, named after the French physicist Leon Foucault, is a simple device conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. While it had long been known that the Earth rotates, the introduction of the Foucault pendulum in 1851 was the first simple proof of the rotation in an easy-to-see experiment. Today, Foucault pendulums are popular displays in science museums and universities. DESCRIPTION OF ANIMATION: |
