Since Day 1 you have been told: What to do, What to think, What to eat, How to feel, What to believe, They have you perfectly in a box to keep you “safe” The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist, so named because its first documented appearance is in Camille Flammarion's 1888 book L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire ("The Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology").[1] The engraving has often, but erroneously, been referred to as a woodcut. It has been used to represent a supposedly medieval cosmology, including a flat earth bounded by a solid and opaque sky, or firmament, and also as a metaphorical illustration of either the scientific or the mystical quests for knowledge. The caption that accompanies the engraving in Flammarion's book reads: A missionary of the Middle Ages tells that he had found the point where the sky and the Earth touch...[1](Flammarion, Camille (1888). L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire. Paris: Hachette. p. 163.) Would it, could it, be possible that whomever originally engraved this piece would have known of Ezekiel’s wheels found only in the Holy Bible? How could the “islanders” around Matlock Island in the Caroline Islands have the same story of being able to crawl beyond the dome? Could this artist have talked to similar Island folk and was fascinated enough to draw this image. Or was this a first hand experience (1544 AD?) from the artist who had to represent this image in an engraving? According to Bruno Weber and to astronomer Joseph Ashbrook,[4] the depiction of a spherical heavenly vault separating the earth from an outer realm is similar to the first illustration in Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia of 1544,[5] a book which Flammarion, an ardent bibliophile and book collector, might have owned (Joseph Ashbrook, "Astronomical Scrapbook: About an Astronomical Woodcut," Sky & Telescope, 53 (5), pp. 356-407, May 1977.). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammarion_engrav ing ). Context in Flammarion's book In Flammarion's L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire, the image refers to the text on the facing page (p. 163), which also clarifies the author's intent in using it as an illustration: Whether the sky be clear or cloudy, it always seems to us to have the shape of an elliptic arch; far from having the form of a circular arch, it always seems flattened and depressed above our heads, and gradually to become farther removed toward the horizon. Our ancestors imagined that this blue vault was really what the eye would lead them to believe it to be; but, as Voltaire remarks, this is about as reasonable as if a silk-worm took his web for the limits of the universe. The Greek astronomers represented it as formed of a solid crystal substance; and so recently as Copernicus, a large number of astronomers thought it was as solid as plate-glass. The Latin poets placed the divinities of Olympus and the stately mythological court upon this vault, above the planets and the fixed stars. Previous to the knowledge that the earth was moving in space, and that space is everywhere, theologians had installed the Trinity in the empyrean, the glorified body of Jesus, that of the Virgin Mary, the angelic hierarchy, the saints, and all the heavenly host.... A naïve missionary of the Middle Ages even tells us that, in one of his voyages in search of the terrestrial paradise, he reached the horizon where the earth and the heavens met, and that he discovered a certain point where they were not joined together, and where, by stooping his shoulders, he passed under the roof of the heavens...[6] The same paragraph had already appeared, without the accompanying engraving, in an earlier edition of the text published under the title of L'atmosphère: description des grands phénomènes de la Nature ("The Atmosphere: Description of the Great Phenomena of Nature," 1872).[7] The correspondence between the text and the illustration is so close that one would appear to be based on the other. Had Flammarion known of the engraving in 1872, it seems unlikely that he would have left it out of that year's edition, which was already heavily illustrated. The more probable conclusion therefore is that Flammarion commissioned the engraving specifically to illustrate this particular text, though this has not been ascertained conclusively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammarion_engraving Literary sources http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammarion_engraving The idea of the contact of a solid sky with the earth is one that repeatedly appears in Flammarion's earlier works. In his Les mondes imaginaires et les mondes réels ("Imaginary Worlds and Real Worlds," 1864), he cites a legend of a Christian saint, Macarius the Roman, which he dates to the 6th century. This legend includes the story of three monks (Theophilus, Sergius, and Hyginus) who "wished to discover the point where the sky and the earth touch"[8] (in Latin: ubi cœlum terræ se conjungit).[9] After recounting the legend[10] he remarks that "the preceding monks hoped to go to heaven without leaving the earth, to find 'the place where the sky and the earth touch,' and open the mysterious gateway which separates this world from the other. Such is the cosmographical notion of the universe; it is always the terrestrial valley crowned by the canopy of the heavens." In the legend of St. Macarius, the monks do not in fact find the place where earth and sky touch. In Les mondes imaginaires Flammarion recounts another story: This fact reminds us of the tale which Le Vayer recounts in his Letters. It appears that an anchorite, probably a relative of the Desert Fathers of the East, boasted of having been as far as the end of the world, and of having been obliged to stoop his shoulders, on account of the joining of the sky and the earth in that distant place.[11] Flammarion also mentioned the same story, in nearly the same words, in his Histoire du Ciel ("History of the Sky"): "I have in my library," interrupted the deputy, "a very curious work: Levayer's letters. I recall having read there of a good anchorite who bragged of having been 'to the ends of the earth,' and of having been obliged to stoop his shoulders, because of the union of the sky and of the earth at this extremity."[12] The Letters referred to are a series of short essays by François de La Mothe Le Vayer. In letter 89, Le Vayer, after mentioning Strabo's scornful opinion of Pytheas's account of a region in the far north where land, sea, and air seemed to mingle in a single gelatinous substance, adds: That good anchorite, who boasted of having been as far as the end of the world, said likewise, that he had been obliged to stoop low, on account of the joining of the sky and earth in that distant region.[13] Le Vayer does not specify who this "anchorite" was, nor does he provide further details about the story or its sources. Le Vayer's comment was expanded upon by Pierre Estève in his Histoire generale et particuliere de l'astronomie ("General and Particular History of Astronomy," 1755), where he interprets Le Vayer's statement (without attribution) as a claim that Pytheas "had arrived at a corner of the sky, and was obliged to stoop down in order not to touch it."[14] The combination of the story of St. Macarius with Le Vayer's remarks seems to be due to Flammarion himself. It also appears in his Les terres du ciel ("The Lands of the Sky"): With respect to the bounds (of the Earth)... some monks of the tenth century of our era, bolder than the rest, say that, in making a voyage in search of the terrestrial paradise, they had found the point where the heaven and earth touch, and had even been obliged to lower their shoulders![15] http://www.hdwallpaperup.com/2014/12/gate-firmament/ The Round Earth and Satellites The Round Earth is a philosophical extrapolation of a syllogism. This “round” earth theory is NOT provable because it’s based in syllogism. “A syllogism (Greek: συλλογισμός syllogismos, "conclusion, inference") is a kind of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on two or more propositions that are asserted or assumed to be true. In its earliest form, defined by Aristotle, from the combination of a general statement (the major premise) and a specific statement (the minor premise), a conclusion is deduced. For example, knowing that all men are mortal (major premise) and that Socrates is a man (minor premise), we may validly conclude that Socrates is mortal. Syllogistic arguments are usually represented in a threeline form (without sentence-terminating periods)[citation needed]: All men are mortal Socrates is a man Therefore, Socrates is mortal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism).” By distorting human reasoning, all humanity is subjected to The LIE, or delusion sent by God who refuse to believe His truth (2 Thes. 2).

The sun is a lot closer than you have been taught and acts like a spotlight, shining down upon the plane as it moves in a circular motion around the earth. In the diagram below, provided by http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=11211.0#.VXrVBEY-MbM, the seasons are explained in short detail. In winter, the sun is further away from the North Pole, it would be summer in the south hemiplane. Tom Bishop on November 09, 2010, 06:56:33 PM ---1. The Sun is a sphere. It is located approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the earth. http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=43998.95;wap2 See: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=The+Sun 2. The sun's path travels roughly over the equator, circling the earth once every 24 hours. As the sun moves in its circular path it also moves Northward and Southward throughout the year, at its northern annulus during the northern summer and at its southern annulus during the southern summer. See: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tikiindex.php?page=The+Seasons 3. The sun does not "dip below the edge". Its disappearance at sunset caused by natural laws of perspective. See: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tikiindex.php?page=The+Setting+of+the+Sun 4. The sun's light acts as a spotlight upon the earth, creating a circular illuminated area. But it does not follow that the sun is flat. The sun is a sphere which shines light in all directions around it. Its light is diluted and bounded in its extent as it travels across the surface of the earth by the simple fact that the atmosphere is not perfectly transparent. See: http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tikiindex.php?page=Viewing+Distance SUN Area that should be lit up Points on Earth 3,000 miles 12,450 miles Equator Earth http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h442/RyanHessy/UnequalHeating.jpg 13.5 degrees Further Inspection of the Heating of the Earth as Pertaining to the Sun's Orbit (sunrises and sunsets taken on September 21) Buenos Aires, Argentina 34.61S, 58.37W (2388 mi South of equator) sunlight is 51 degrees angle when over longitudinal line High/Low Temperatures: 59F/66F Sunrise: 6:36:02 am Sunset: 6:50:48 pm -- About 12 hours day/night -- Beijing, China 39.93N, 116.4E (2755 mi North of equator) sunlight is 47 degrees angle when over longitudinal line High/Low Temperatures: 55F/64F Sunrise: 6:02:06 am Sunset: 6:15:43 pm -- About 12 hours day/night -Now, taking into account time differences, this shows that (approximately) the sun set in one city as it rose in another city, and vice versa. This means that, on the FAQ's map, approximately 1/2 of the map would have to be lit up at one time to coordinate properly with the sunrise and sunset times taken above. Note the drastic change in the angle of the Sun with the cities. http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=43998.95;wap2 The Sun Is Clearly Not 92,960,000 miles Away http://www.whale.to/c/sun_flat_earth.html Q. If the sun is disappearing to perspective, shouldn't it slow down as it approaches the horizon? A. The sun moves constant speed into the horizon at sunset because it is at such a height that already beyond the apex of perspective lines. It has maximized the possible broadness of the lines of perspective in relation to the earth. It is intersecting the earth at a very broad angle. It's widely observable that overhead receding bodies move at a more constant pace into the horizon the higher they are. For an example imagine that someone is flying a Cessna into the distance at an illegal altitude of 700 feet. He seems to zoom by pretty fast when he is flies over your head, only slowing down when he is off in the far distance. Now consider what happens when a jet flies over your head at 45,000 feet. At that altitude a jet appears to move very slowly across the sky, despite that the jet is moving much faster than the Cessna. With greater altitude the plane seems to move more consistently across the sky. It does not zoom by overhead, only seeming to slow when in the far distance. When a body increases its altitude it broadens its perspective lines in relation to the earth and the observer, and thus appears to move slower and at a more constant pace into the horizon. In FET the stars and celestial bodies are at such a great height that they have maximized the perspective lines. They are descending into the horizon at a consistent or near consistent velocity. As consequence they do not slow down in the distance by any significant degree, and hence the stars do not appear to change configuration and build up in the distance, nor does the sun or moon appear to slow as they approach the horizon. The rate of descent of two bodies at different altitudes is more constant because it take a lot longer for a high altitude body to reach the horizon than it does for a low altitude body. The higher a body is, the broader its perspective lines, the longer and more constantly it will appear to approach the horizon to the observer. http://wiki.tfes.org/Constant_Speed_of_the_Sun The Setting of the Sun Although the sun is at all times above the earth's surface, it appears in the morning to ascend from the north-east to the noonday position, and thence to descend and disappear, or set, in the north-west. This phenomenon arises from the operation of a simple and everywhere visible law of perspective. A flock of birds, when passing over a flat or marshy country, always appears to descend is it recedes; and if the flock is extensive, the first bird appears lower or nearer to the horizon than the last, although they are at the same actual altitude above the earth immediately beneath them. When a plane flies away from an observer, without increasing or decreasing its altitude, it appears to gradually approach the horizon. In a long row of lamps, the second, supposing the observer to stand at the beginning of the series, will appear lower than the first; the third lower than the second; and so on to the end of the row; the farthest away always appearing the lowest, although each one has the same altitude; and if such a straight line of lamps could be continued far enough, the lights would at length descend, apparently, to the horizon, or to a level with the eye of the observer. This explains how the sun descends into the horizon as it recedes. Once the lower part of the Sun meets the horizon line, however, it will intersect with the vanishing point and become lost to human perception as the sun's increasingly shallow path creates a tangent beyond the resolution of the human eye. The vanishing point is created when the perspective lines are angled less than one minute of a degree. Hence, this effectively places the vanishing point a finite distance away from the observer. Usually it is taught in art schools that the vanishing point is an infinite distance away from the observer, as so: http://wiki.tfes.org/The_Setting_of_the_Sun However, since man cannot perceive infinity due to human limitations, the perspective lines are modified and placed a finite distance away from the observer as so: This finite distance to the vanishing point is what allows ships to ascend into horizon and disappear as their hulls intersect with the vanishing point. Every receding star and celestial body in the night sky likewise disappears after intersecting with the vanishing point. http://wiki.tfes.org/The_Setting_of_the_Sun In addition to this modified law of perspective the remaining light of the sun bouncing around in the atmosphere will be lost by the non transparent atmosphere. After the sun sets the sky is still relatively illuminated. It takes a couple hours for the deep blackness of the night to set in. The cause of night is simply due to a non-transparent atmosphere. As the sun recedes its light is dimmed and lost to the increasing number of atoms and molecules which intersect the light rays. Take note that at sunset the sun is already dimmed by an order of magnitude compared to its intensity overhead at noonday. At sunset it is possible to look directly at the sun without a straining of the eye, while overhead at noon looking directly at the sun can be quite painful. This severe reduction of intensity at sunset is a striking example of how the atmosphere can reduce the intensity of an object with distance. Summary As the sun descends it will create a tangent into the horizon. The perspective lines nearly merge, causing the receding body to appear to collapse in on itself. Next the light of the receding sun is dimmed to blackness by a non-transparent atmosphere. "At these times it appears close to the horizon where the density of the air differs greatly. The air near the ground is denser than the layer of air just above it, and the layer of air above that is less dense still, and so on upwards until the Earth's atmosphere peters out at some 400 km. Now consider what happens when the Sun is setting. When the Sun is at the horizon, light from the top of the disc is going through the air at a different angle than that from the lower part. So the rays are bent by different amounts before they reach the observer's eye. The result is that the bottom part of the Sun's disc appears to be lifted up. In consequence the Sun's disc appears slightly compressed." - Samuel Birley Rowbotham http://wiki.tfes.org/The_Setting_of_the_Sun Rowbotham calculates distance to the sun (less than 700 miles) He states all stars etc are below 1000 miles. Time Zones Globalist Argument #4: "What about time zones? How can you have time zones on a flat earth?" This argument presupposes a couple of things: 1) the earth is essentially a flat piece of paper with continents on it and 2) the sun is just shining straight down on the whole thing. The Flat Earther model refutes this by showing something like the following, depicting the sun and moon in an enclosed system, much smaller and much closer than where we consider them to be in our standard globalist view: In this model, the sun acts like a "point light" with a limited throw of light, leaving the unexposed areas in the dark. This effectively gives the same results as a rotating earth would in terms of time zones. It also helps to explain the vertical meter stick and shadow experiment. If the much smaller and closer sun is standing over one meter stick, the shadow will be straight down, whereas the one further away will be casting a longer shadow. It's not rocket science. Daylight Savings Time is a FRAUD – if the earth is flat or round it is still a joke. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/11/daylight-saving-time-americas-greatest-shame/354753/ http://www.seedtheseries.com/blog/BibleEarth.html Flat earth and the deceivers of the sun WakeTheSheeple2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWZ-YgQj2mU Eric Dubay (Eric Dubay - The greatest deception. Flat earth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLC6JNC5u3s ) The North Pole is the center point and the Antarctic Ice Rim is surrounding it. The equator is half way. The Sun starts at 23.5 degrees North Latitude in the Summer Solstice and it makes a circle around the flat earth in a 24 hour period. The circle of the sun gets bigger and bigger and faster and faster everyday until the Winter Solstice at the Autumn Equinox 3 months later or past the equator and then another 3 months and it’s at the Winter Solstice and then it will be at 23.5 degrees south latitude which is the Tropic of Capricorn. Then, for the next six months it will slow down day by day until it makes smaller and smaller circles as it passes the equator on the vernal equinox 3 months later, smaller and smaller, slower and slower, all the way back to the tropic of cancer at 23.5 degrees North Latitude. The sun makes this cycle.

The ball earth model they claim that the sun is very big and very far away, being 400x’s bigger than the moon and 400xs further away and that’s why from our perspective that it just seems like they are the same size. In reality, you can measure with Sextants and plane Trigonometry, that the sun and moon are 32 miles in diameter and about 3000 miles off the surface of the earth.

Check him out. Stars in an Earth Plane This one became SUPER simple when I saw a video about Sonoluminescence. Are there REALLY other suns like our sun millions and millions of light years away, gleaming forth their untouchableness and inconceivableness to us insignificant humans here on the Earth? NO! The “universe” is fixed inside the firmament (Gen. 1). NASA tells us that Polaris, the North Star, is 2 quadrillion miles away from the earth and we are orbiting the sun at ~67,000 mph, while spiraling at the edge of the Milky Way at ~500,000mph, and of course, zooming through the “universe” at ~670,000,000mph. Yeah! Where are we going? Oh, that’s right, that Big Bang theory again. Anything to get rid of a Creator God and that He is close to you and the Earth. These kinds of ideas of an immense universe are LUDICROUS! So impossible that people don’t want to learn more about these ideas because it makes them feel stupid, but that’s exactly how they want you to feel – so stupid that you give up and quit searching for the truth and instead, “Just trust me.” Where have we heard this before??? Simply put, God set the lights in the firmament (Gen 1:17) and so if the stars are in the firmament, they could be very simple to explain. This is a good video to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUaY315-DjY If you truly want to know the truth about stars… Think… Star in a jar. Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a small gas bubble is acoustically suspended and periodically driven in a liquid solution at ultrasonic frequencies, resulting in bubble collapse, cavitation, and light emission. The thermal energy that is released from the bubble collapse is so great that it can cause weak light emission.[1] The mechanism of the light emission remains uncertain, but some of the current theories, which are categorized under either thermal or electrical processes, are Bremsstrahlung radiation, argon rectification hypothesis,[2] and hot spot. People are beginning to lean more towards thermal processes as temperatures have consistently been proven with different methods of spectral analysis.[3] In order to understand the light emission mechanism, it is important to know what is happening in the bubble's interior and at the bubble's surface. A setup similar to the following is required to create a bubble that can sonoluminesce. Pistol Shrimp, one of the loudest creatures on Earth, the action of the shrimp’s strike generates cavitation bubbles between the appendage and the striking surface. The pop of such bubbles produces measurable forces of upto 1,500 newtons, because of the impact of the appendage against the striking surface. The resulting shock wave, from this bubble alone can be enough to kill or stun the prey. The bubble even produces sonoluminescence: light and heat ranging in temperatures of several thousand kelvins within the collapsing bubble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_sonoluminescence http://www.sonoluminescence.com/ Sonoluminescence is the production of light from sound. This effect, discovered just over ten years ago, has been, and continues to be, the subject of considerable experimental and theoretical research. Sonoluminescence (SL) refers to the phenomena in which a micron size gas bubble is both spatially trapped and oscillated by an acoustic field in such a way that on each compression of the bubble a small burst of light is emitted. This light emission is in the form of extremely short bursts (< 100ps), but is periodic, occurring in phase with each and every cycle of the driving pressure field. Each bubble collapse produces about 500,000 photons. The bubble collapse is so violent that some predicted theoretical accelerations are larger than those associated with a Black Hole! The actual emission mechanism has not yet been explained, although theories are as plentiful as they are diverse. Students begin their exploration by first understanding some basic acoustical principles, such as resonance behavior, quality factors, variation of sound speed with temperature, and the eigenmode structure of a 3-dimensional resonance "cavity." Once these principles are understood there are a large number of experiments that can be performed focusing on the liquid sample preparation and the light emitted from the bubble. The basic apparatus, shown to the right, consists of a rectangular cell that houses the water with a high frequency piezo microphone, an ultrasonic horn that is used to deliver acoustical energy to the system, and a control box that contains an integrated amplifier and resonance detection circuitry. The control box also contains active components that can filter and rectify the signals from either the cell's transducer or from the separate high frequency hydrophone probe. Among the other features in the control box are two separate adjustable power supplies, one for an optional temperature controlled cell and another for an optional photomultiplier, as well as a peak detector for the photomultiplier unit. Forbidden Science: From Ancient Technologies to Free Energy edited by J. Douglas Kenyon Eclipses Eclipses on a “ball” model are wrong. In fact, people, as usual, make stuff up to keep their “theories” and beliefs in a round earth perpetuating by “bending” facts. The common term for this is “lying”. Last years 2nd blood moon eclipse did something UNUSUAL and I truly believe that God allowed this to happen so people, who are paying attention, will seek out the truth for themselves and STOP BEING LIED TO AND LIKING IT. I don’t know about you all, but I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH PEOPLE LYING TO ME. What is wrong with eclipses on the ball model is that eclipses can happen during the day time. This is when the sun is coming up while an eclipse is happening, yet the eclipsing shadowed portion on the moon is happening the opposite way it should be. This is called “Selenhelion.” “A selenelion or selenehelion occurs when both the Sun and the eclipsed Moon can be observed at the same time. This can only happen just before sunset or just after sunrise, and both bodies will appear just above the horizon at nearly opposite points in the sky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_eclipse).” This blood moon occurred Oct. 8th, 2014 – the second in the tetrad of blood moons – and it was a rare event. NOT TO MENTION – no one in the Christian community talked about the significance of this kind of selenhelion moon because of fear of persecution for a belief in a flat earth. The evidence is mounting. Christian’s should not be hiding their heads in the ground anymore and seeking the truth while it still may be found!!!! Selenehelion 4-15-2015 Colorado Both of these shots were taken at dawn. Cannot do this on a sphere earth only on a flat earth. My husband took this shot I took this shot “…Geometrically speaking, this kind of phenomenon should not be possible…, A lunar eclipse is one of the only times that the moon and sun are exactly 180 degrees apart on Earth's sky, which means that right after the moon sets, the sun should rise, making it technically impossible to see both at once. But a simple trick of the light changes everything, and as a result, crafty observers can see this wild, and otherwise impossible, event (http://www.businessinsider.com/lunar-eclipse-happening-wednesday-oct-8-201410#ixzz3d2Zns8UN.) Correct, it is impossible on a round earth. But again, people have to make stuff up and say it’s refraction or bending of light to make sure they have some excuse for the lies they tell themselves. Don’t let these deceived people fool you. DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you scoff and mock. “Another assumption and supposed proof of Earth’s shape, heliocentrists claim that lunar eclipses are caused by the shadow of the ball-Earth occulting the Moon. The idea is that the Sun, Earth, and Moon spheres perfectly align like three billiard balls in a row so that the Sun’s light casts the Earth’s shadow onto the Moon. Unfortunately for heliocentrists, this explanation is rendered completely invalid due to the fact that lunar eclipses have happened and continue to happen regularly when both the Sun and Moon are still visible together above the horizon! For the Sun’s light to be casting Earth’s shadow onto the Moon, the three bodies must be aligned in a straight 180 degree syzygy. “According to the globular theory, a lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, earth, and moon are in a direct line; but it is on record that since about the fifteenth century over fifty eclipses have occurred while both sun and moon have been visible above the horizon.” -F.H. Cook, “The Terrestrial Plane” As early as the time of Pliny, there are records of lunar eclipses happening while both the Sun and Moon are visible in the sky. The Greenwich Royal Observatory recorded that “during the lunar eclipses of July 17th, 1590, November 3rd, 1648, June 16th, 1666, and May 26th, 1668 the moon rose eclipsed whilst the sun was still above the horizon.” McCulluch’s Geography recorded that “on September 20th, 1717 and April 20th, 1837 the moon appeared to rise eclipsed before the sun had set.” Sir Henry Holland also noted in his “Recollections of Past Life” the April 20th, 1837 phenomena where “the moon rose eclipsed before the sun set.” The Daily Telegraph recorded it happening again on January 17th, 1870, then again in July of the same year, and it continues to happen during lunar eclipses to this day. Therefore the eclipsor of the Moon cannot be the Earth/Earth's shadow and another explanation must be sought (http://www.atlanteanconspiracy.com/2015/01/flat-earth- http://www.researchgate.net/publication/250902290_AntoineFrancois_Payen_the_1666_Selenelion_and_a_rediscovered_let horizon.html).” ter_to_Robert_Hooke Payen and the horizontal eclipse A horizontal eclipse of the Moon takes place when both the Sun and the eclipsed Moon are visible for a short time above the horizon. According to Pliny the Elder, the phenomenon had been recognized two centuries earlier than his time by Hipparchus; and in the most important discussion of the phenomenon in antiquity the Hellenistic astronomer Cleomedes correctly ascribed what he called the ‘paradoxical eclipse’ to atmospheric refraction, whereby the observed altitude of bodies near the horizon exceeds their actual altitude.1 The fact of atmospheric refraction itself was well known, and although Ptolemy's Optics remained in manuscript until modern times, its discussion, in the fifth book, of atmospheric refraction influenced medieval students of optics, including Witelo, Roger Bacon and John Pecham, and through them their early-modern successors.2 The horizontal eclipse continued to exercise early-modern astronomers. Some simply denied its possibility.3 Others supposed it to be due to atmospheric refraction or the operation of vapours rising from the Earth.4 Kepler's teacher Michael Mästlin claimed to have observed a horizontal eclipse in 1590, and Kepler recalled this observation in his 1604 Ad Vitellionem Paralipomena in the context of his own discussions of the refractive properties of the atmosphere.5 Kepler himself apparently managed to observe a horizontal eclipse in Linz on 26 August 1616, and Pierre Gassendi was frustrated three times by bad weather between 1643 and 1648, before a domestic servant of his caught sight of one at sunrise on the plain of Avignon.6 By the mid-century, therefore, three horizontal eclipses had been recorded as observed, and the emphasis now shifted to explanation (http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/roynotesrec/61/3/251.full.pdf pg 1). http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/61/3/251 Aurora Borealis John D. Ladd, “Commentary of the Book of Enoch,” states on pg.77, “The Aurora Borealis (northern lights) have long baffled scientists. Many theories have been proposed to explain such phenomena. All are unproven, and unexplainable. But allow me to offer another, that the truth of sheol allows us, the lights are the reflection on the particles in the atmosphere of the light from the hell-fire, the central sun, of sheol.” In 1692, Halley (yep Halley’s Comet guy) put forth the idea of a hollow Earth consisting of a shell about 500 miles (800 km) thick, two inner concentric shells and an innermost core, about the diameters of the planets Venus, Mars, and Mercury.[14] He suggested that atmospheres separated these shells, and that each shell had its own magnetic poles, with each sphere rotating at a different speed. Halley proposed this scheme to explain anomalous compass readings. He envisaged each inner region as having an atmosphere and being luminous (and possibly inhabited), and speculated that escaping gas caused the Aurora Borealis.[15] Carroll, Robert Todd (13 February 2006). "hollow Earth". Skeptic's Dictionary. Retrieved 23 July 2006. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Halley#cite_note-15 This topic has been briefly touched from time to time by people such as Halley, but for the most part this would deserve an independent research investigation into the North and South (if permissible) to validate any of these claims. To this day, not even scientist, astronomers, etc… know the truth about the aurora’s but they do cling to their theories. Over 2600 years ago, ancient Hebrew, Near Eastern people and others had a cosmology like the picture above. The Holy Bible and it’s cosmology consistently agree throughout the scriptures as a relatively flat or circular disk. The disk is covered by the firmament or what some term a dome or vaulted sky. Beneath the Earth or land that holds the circle of the earth are the pillars of the earth. There are waters under the earth, waters above the firmament that release water from the “windows of heaven.” Interestingly, the clouds, heavenly bodies, sun, moon and stars are all placed in the firmament. http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/misreading-the-bibles-scientific-accuracy Isa. 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: The “circle” of the earth is not a sphere as most people like to translate the Hebrew word to but, Chug – Strong’s H2329 – can also mean circuit, compass or vault. Also if you follow the root word etymology you will find more clearly that the word in no way resembles a sphere but a circle as flat as you would draw on a piece of paper. Isaiah in this passage is portraying God as sitting above the firmament as in this picture to the right. Let’s take a brief look at Strong’s H7549 – raqiya – firmament means extended surface (solid), expanse, expanse (flat as base, support), firmament (of vault of heaven supporting waters above), considered by Hebrews as solid and supporting “waters” above. The etymological root word is H7554 – raqa – means to beat, stamp, beat out, spread out, stretch. The first time I saw this, I remembered Prov. 8:30. When God made the firmament, literally crafted by hand, He also divided the waters above from the waters below. Is there water in heaven? http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/misreading-the-bibles-scientific-accuracy Continuing with Strong’s H7549, we see Gesenius’s Lexicon stating clearly that the Hebrews believed there was a heavenly ocean. If these scriptures are true, then NASA could NOT have ever gone into “space” as they have told us they did. Gen. 1:7 - And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. Gen. 7:11 - In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. http://www.blbclassic.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strong s=H7549&t=KJV Ps. 104:3 - Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Ps. 148:4 - Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Ps. 136:6 - To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. These are some very thought provoking scriptures that not too many that I know have pondered these things. I suppose I will add my neck to the small group of people who will attempt to understand how the Bible views the Earth and our reality. This will be fun What does the Bible say? Flat or Round??? Rev. 7:1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. This verse has always been interesting to me as I always try to picture in my mind how these angels would appear to me and then others all over the planet to make this scripture seem accurate. I guess my question is, “How can someone in China see the angels standing on the four corners and I see them standing on the four corners at the same time?” I think the obvious question is the you can’t. It all comes back to a matter of perspective. If the guy in China sees the angels standing on the four corners, let’s say one angel on each pole – south and north, then where would the other two be for him? Maybe, Africa and out in the middle of the Pacific ocean or Hawaii? Then to me, in America, would the angels appear at both poles then one in the Pacific ocean and one in the Atlantic? We could also ask how the Apostle John saw the angels at the corners, since the view was from his perspective in heaven. Another thought is, “Where do they hold the four winds back?” On a flat earth it seems easy but a round earth we would need to know how the winds flow. We are to take God’s Word Literally There has been a lot of schlack (yiddish for Shoddy, trashy) thrown around by both unbeliever’s and believer’s that not all God’s Word is to be taken literally, but instead we should be saying God’s Word should be taken seriously. Some even go so far as to say that reading the Bible literally distorts its witness. For those of us who do study the Bible with the Holy Spirit right there teaching us all things (John 14:26), we understand that it is dangerous to take things out of context in the Bible, even if we do not understand why the Bible is saying something one way, then, changes it a few scriptures later. The problem is NOT the Bible but our understanding of God’s Word. Take for example a favorite “literal” argument from secularists, Ps. 61:4 “Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.” They mock and scoff at literalists, “God has wings.” Most people don’t even give two brain cells to try and understand what God is saying, nor do they pray to the Lord for the answers to these questions. Instead, people will brush off the Bible and sum it all up as a metaphor and go on with their lives as if nothing is wrong. If we took just a little time and turn to God for our answers we will find what those meanings are and be rightly able to divide the Word of Truth. I’ll say this, Jesus does have wings. The tallit (also pronounced tallis) is a prayer shawl, the most authentic Jewish garment. It is a rectangular-shaped piece of linen or wool (and sometimes, now, polyester or silk) with special fringes called Tzitzit on each of the four corners. The purpose of the garment is to hold the Tzitzit and acts as a head covering for prayer. “Tallit” simply means gown or cloak, reflecting the fact that it was originally worn throughout the day. It probably resembled the abbayah (blanket) still worn by Bedouins. http://servantofmessiah.org/hebraic-biblicalstudies/healing-hem/ http://lastdayswatchman.org/secret-solomons-temple/ The lady with the issue knew that if Jesus were the promised Messiah, there would be healing in His wings (fringes). One important Jewish concept, which is often missed in English translations of the Bible, concerns the story of a woman with an issue of blood, recorded in Matthew 9:20-21. Having heard that the Messiah was near, the woman said within herself, “If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.” The text indicates that it was specifically the hem of His garment that she touched, an important detail from an Hebraic viewpoint. Certainly the woman with the issue of blood knew of these traditions, which would explain why she sought to touch the corner (the wings) of Jesus’ prayer garment. The same word used in Numbers 15:38 for corner is used in Malachi 4:2 for wings. With this understanding in mind, an ancient Jew under the prayer shawl could be said to be dwelling in the secret place of the Most High and under His wings (Ps. 91:1-4). When one realized the significance of this concept to the first-century Hebraic mind, it becomes clear why this woman was instantly healed. She was expressing her faith in Jesus as the Son of Righteousness with “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings,” Malachi 4:2 That this was the opinion of many other people is revealed by the crowd who sought his healing powers, “that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole,” Matthew 14:36. “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem (tzitzit) of his garment (tallit): For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment (tallit), I shall be whole- Matt 9:20-21 A thought aside…Why her reluctance to admit her condition? Leviticus said that her unclean state would have made everyone around her who touched her also unclean also for a short time. So the word got out that everywhere Jesus went people where healed by touching him. “And besought him that they might only touch the hem (tzitzit) of his garment (tallit): and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.” Matt 14:36 “And where ever He entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border (kanaph) of his garment (tallit): and as many as touched him were made whole.” Mark 6:56 http://servantofmessiah.org/hebraic-biblical-studies/healing-hem/5/ And remember the lady at the well that Yeshua asked for a drink of water from; how did she know He was a Jew? “A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.” John 4:7-9. She perceived Him being Jewish because Jesus, like all Jews during that time, was wearing a tallit. He will also being wearing a tallit when He returns as we can see from John’s description in Revelation 19:11,16: “Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war…..And He has on His robe (tallit) and on His thigh a name written (tzitzit): KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” I recall reading the above passage and thinking to myself, ‘what kind of wild designer jeans is Jesus coming back wearing?’ But he is a Jew – and wears a tallit , Rev 19:16 makes perfect sense; if Jesus is riding on a horse and He’s wearing a tallit the tzitzit will naturally be lying on His thigh. Zechariah prophesies concerning the millennial reign of Yeshua that people from all over the world will recognize those who belong to the Lord God by their tzitzit. “Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt (kanaph) of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.” Zech 8:23 Nearly all scholars agree that this passage of Scripture pertains to the millennial reign of Christ, so it’s safe to say hat in those days God’s people will be wearing tzitzit in the borders of their garments. In Conclusion – The church at Rome was admonished by Paul that the Christian faith was never intended to be a repudiation of its Jewish roots, but rather, the engrafted Gentile Church was actually a branch that grew out of these roots (Rom. 11:18). The essence of these teachings is that without Judaism there would be no Christianity. http://servantofmessiah.org/hebraic-biblical-studies/healing-hem/5/ The word tallit isn’t originally Hebrew and does not appear in the Bible; rather, other words meaning robe or garment are paired with words meaning tassel or fringe to indicate the proper attire. Many rabbinic authorities, however, favor a simple tallit of pure white wool as the classic biblical garment, basing themselves on the verse “let your garments always be white” (Ecclesiastes 9:8).5 The tzitzit (threads or fringes) attached to each corner are traditionally made of the same fabric as the tallit; however, wool fringes are always permissible. These tassels in Hebrew is called “tzitzit” (singular) pronounced “seet-seet.” In the King James Version of the Bible they are translated as “fringe” or “fringes.” These fringes are attached to the “borders” or “corners” of their garments, or tallit. The KJV translates the Hebrew word “kanaph” as “borders” in Numbers 15:38. According to the Brown-DriverBriggs’ Hebrew dictionary the Hebrew word “Kanaph” means: 1) wing, extremity, edge, winged, border, corner, shirt 1a) wing 1b) extremity 1b1) skirt, corner (of garment) Hem: Greek: kraspedon (GSN-2899), a tassel of twisted wool (Matthew 9:20; Matthew 14:36; Matthew 23:5; Mark 6:56; Luke 8:44). This word in the Greek language means latterly fringes. The woman was reaching for the fringes of His Garment. The Hebrew word is: “tsiytsith”. It was required to be on the four corners of the clothing of every Jewish male in accordance with God’s instructions. The earliest mention of Kanaph is found in Exodus 19:4 : “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings (kanaph), and brought you unto myself.” Many Bible teachers have stated that the first use of a word sets the stage for the underlying meaning of the word throughout the remainder of the Scriptures.They call this the “law of first reference.” Here we can concur that through the “kanaph” there is deliverance. The children of Israel were delivered or set free from the Egyptians because God bare them on eagles’ kanaph, and brought them unto Himself. The wearing of the “tallit” (pronounced tal-eet), also called the “tallis” or “prayer shawl,” was commanded by God. http://servantofmessiah.org/hebraic-biblical-studies/healing-hem/ In Deuteronomy 22 :12 and Num.15:37-40; “Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations…and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord.” Num.15:37-40; “Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations…and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord.” In Numbers 15:38 the word translated border or corner is a Hebrew word which can also be translated wings as it is some seventy-six times in the biblical text. For this reason, the corners of the prayer shawl are often called wings. Each tzitzit consists of five double knots and eight threads, a total of thirteen elements. This number added to six hundred, the Hebraic numerical value of the word tzitzit points to the six hundred and thirteen commandments of the Torah. As the Atorah was placed over the head, it formed his own tent. WINGS of the garment were formed when the arms were held out. For this reason, the corners of the prayer shawl are often called “wings.” “And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt (kanaph) of his mantle (tallit), and it rent. And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.” 1 Sam 15:26-28 Saul, after disobeying God, was told by Samuel that his kingship was over. Pleading with Samuel, Saul rips the tzitzit out of Samuel’s tallit, which becomes a symbolic picture of Saul’s kingdom being ripped from him. The reason Saul lost his authority was because he no longer placed his trust in the kanaph of the Lord God. “And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt (kanaph) of Saul’s robe (tallit) privily.” 1 Sam 24:3-4 Saul, who out of jealousy had been trying to kill David, stopped off at a cave to “relieve” himself. Little did he know that David and his men where in that same cave. They told David, here’s you chance to kill your enemy. But David, being a man after God’s own heart, knew that it was wrong for him to kill Saul and opted to cut off the tzitzit of Saul’s kanaph. (Remember: the tzitzit was attached to the kanaph) In that way, David showed Saul that he very well could have killed him if he so desired. Why did David do this, and why did his conscience smite him for having done it? Was there some special significance in what he had done? In fact the act of cutting off the skirt (fringe) of Saul’s robe was of very great significance, which Saul was not slow to recognize. When the shouting began next day Saul said: “And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand” (1 Sam. 24:20). David had robbed Saul of his status symbol, the fringe of his robe that identified him as king.In the Psalms David often refers to the safety of Gods wings. “Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings (kanaph)” Psalms 17:8 “Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusts in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings (kanaph) will I make my refuge, until these calamities be past.” Psalm 57:1 http://servantofmessiah.org/hebraic-biblical-studies/healing-hem/ For too long, we have downgraded God’s Word with frivolous comments and snickering’s. We need to understand why the words say what they say. Seriously means in a solemn of considered manner. Literally means exactly. If we are to apply this to the flood of Noah, we know literally that the flood waters covered the whole earth or we can take the flood seriously and just consider some of the exceptions that could be the cause of the flood or even if the flood was throughout the whole earth. If you were telling someone their house is on fire, would you want them to take you seriously or LITERALLY! Jewish weddings are sometimes performed under a prayer shawl held up during the ceremony by four poles called a chupa or huppah. In Mid East culture they cast a garment over one being claimed for marriage. Ruth is a foreigner and through loving kindness to her mother in law Naomi catches the attention a wealthy landowner, Boaz. He makes the comment to her May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” Ruth 2 v 12 Later Ruth approaches him at the threshing floor… In Ruth 3:9 Ruth found herself at the feet of Boaz, and as he awakened, he was moved with her vulnerability. Women were not to do things of this nature in those days, but in complete honesty and openness she said to him, spread thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman Ruth was saying, Take me under your WING. Cover me, is a term of intimacy. Boaz was an honorable man and did the honorable thing. They were married, and she became his bride. Here she was, a Moabite woman from a foreign country, grafted into the nation of Israel. She had the right to be covered by her Jewish spouses Talis. This is a symbolic expression of marriage. It is interesting to note that a similar custom still prevails at an orthodox Jewish wedding, when the bridegroom covers his bride with his tallit, his prayer shawl, with its tassels at each corner, signifying that he is taking her into his care. The skirt of Boaz would doubtless be edged with the fringe and tassels that indicated his status. This request by Ruth was for his protection and his care as symbolized by his personal fringe – his status symbol. With this understanding in mind, an ancient Jew under the prayer shawl could be said to be dwelling in the secret place of the Most High and under His wings (Ps. 91:1-4). http://servantofmessiah.org/hebraic-biblical-studies/healing-hem/4/ The Winds For this portion of the study, I need to rely heavily on the book of Enoch, since he seems to be the only one who was shown in depth the truth of spiritual and material things. I might remind those who pooh-pooh the use of these extra biblical books because if the Apostles who were trained by Christ Himself accepted as authentic the text of Enoch 1, that this is all the credibility we need to rely upon the truth of this witness. Enoch 18:1-7 “I also beheld the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the firmament of heaven. And I beheld the four winds occupying the height of heaven. Arising in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven. I saw the winds, which turn the sky, which cause the orb of the sun and of all the stars to set; and over the earth I saw the winds, which support the clouds. I SAW THE PATH OF THE ANGELS.” The winds Enoch is describing are not meteorological weather patterns. This could very well be the description of gravity so many scientists have looked for proof for hundreds of years. People have tried to explain what holds objects to the Earth since they calculate such enormous speeds (1037 miles/hr at the equator) and why things do not fly off the Earth, which is just as silly as the round earther’s making fun of flat earthers for falling off the edge of the earth if they get to close – sorry, I had to say it. Children never tire of finding ways to mock other children Gravity is known as a “force” that holds everything in place and directs movement, just as light and its movement creates time! Enoch further elaborates that this “force” supports all the clouds and the path of the Angels. Let’s take a look at 2 Sam. 22:10-12 – “He lowered heaven and came down with thick darkness under his feet. 11 He rode on a keruv and flew, he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness his canopy around him, thick clouds in the skies dense with water. (CJB)” 2 Sam. 22:10-12 - 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. 11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies (KJV).” Compare this to Ps. 18:9-11 – “9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet. 10 He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind. 11 He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.…” We are to take God’s Word literally, but how do we do this with verses like this? Firstly, this is NOT a poetical description of someone seeing God flying through Heaven to come to Earth. The Hebrew word for Bowed is Natah, Strong’s H5186. It means to stretch out, extend, spread out, pitch, turn, pervert, incline, bend, bow or parting away or entering through. This can be seen as a portal or the bending of “space”. Some of the Hebrew translations of thick clouds, and darkness of waters could possibly mean a black hole or wormhole between heaven and earth. This theory can be proven by how God or the Lord can bind himself while still in heaven on the earth in a cloud as He did with ancient Israel (Ex. 13:21-22). Technically, heaven exists outside of our space and time, which Christ so eloquently stated to Pilate, “John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” The word “world” is mistranslated and should read: Strong’s G2889 – kosmos, which means cosmos or the entire order or arrangement of the entire material construct (some ppl call this the universe.). Many people when reading the New Testament when they see the word “world” they immediately bring to mind a ball Earth suspended in a vast Universe. This is not as accurate as the larger picture that is attempted in such compacted words like World. God, Christ, was basically saying, “Mu kingdom is not of this dimension.” THEN, Christ further clarifies what HE is trying to say to Pilate in the same sentence, “My kingdom is not of this realm (or hence).” The word “realm” is Strong’s G1782 – enteuthen – from on the one side and on the other or on each side. Following the Etymology out a little we find G1759 – enthade – means here, hither, then G1722 has the primary meaning – a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state)…. You, personally, can explore further Strong’s G1519 and G1537 on your own, but both draw out the conclusion that God operates from a position in time – just like I theorized about the differences between Heaven and Earth. We were meant – created – to be in that specific place in time with God, but we fell and fall we did into the dimension of space that confined and caused us to experience death. So to sum this up, it could be said that Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this dimension.” To further this just a tad: Eccl. 3:15, “That which was is here already; and that which will be has already been, but God seeks out what people chase after.,” shows us that heaven is outside of our experienced time and space. If God requires that which is past (KJV), then this also verifies God is outside of our time and space because He knows what has all ready happened to mankind, thus 1/3 of the Holy Bible is prophecy. Just think of it, the Bible itself is the WHOLE record of mankind from beginning to end. This also proves the Bibles complete and absolute authority that there is only ONE GOD – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit all walking together and ONE. Getting back to the winds and clouds. We run into some tricky scientific explanations of gravity and winds when scientists try to explain what is happening to matter on the microcosm. Gravity winds are explained as such: Winds that flow downhill under the pull of gravity. These occur in mountainous or glacial regions where cold dense air from glaciers and mountain tops flow down the slopes under the influence of gravity. When slope are very steep, the cold air can gather tremendous kinetic energy which give strong winds – i.e. Santa Ana winds coming from the Great Basin into the Sierra Mountains, specifically the San Gabriel Mts. and then into Los Angeles. Here we delve into Newton’s second law of motion which states: The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the force acting upon the body and is the direction of the applied force. Interestingly, Gravity “supposedly” does not act horizontally, so it cannot influence the horizontal winds, but does influence vertical air motions, and can be directed downward towards the center of the Earth. BUT…. As always there are exceptions to these rules…. This is the crazy moment a gravity-defying 80ft waterfall flows UPWARDS as the UK was battered by the tail end of Hurricane Gonzalo. Three people died and several were injured as strong winds of up to 108mph hit the country. The clip, filmed yesterday in the Derbyshire Peak District, shows the river Kinder come to a halt as the water is blown all over the place. It was uploaded to YouTube by user Rod Kirkpatrick who wrote: "As storm force winds batter the Derbyshire Peak District, near Hayfield, the river Kinder is stopped in its tracks. "It is blown back up onto Kinder Scout Plateau at the point where it would normally cascade 80ft down Kinder Downfall." http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/watch-gravity-defying-80ft-waterfall-flow-4480784 Since gravity is considered so strong, apparently it has its limits when I comes to the wind. Just 108 MPH wind forced the Kinder River to flow upwards. The “forces” at work to make a river flow backwards cannot be attributed to the Earth’s rotation or Coriolis Effect. This would mean that events like the Kinder River and the Mississippi River flowing backwards for THREE days after an earthquake would be counter intuitive to the rotation of the Earth. Either the rotation of the Earth is not as “strong” as they mathematically suggest or they are dismissing the truth of the Winds or what I’m going to describe now as the Ether. One more mentionable about winds and the strongest force gravity, is that no one can describe what is happening in Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, CA. Sailing Stones, Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, CA No one has ever seen one of the “sailing stones” on Death Valley’s Racetrack Playa move, but evidence of their travels is visible in the long track marks that trail behind them in the dusty ground. Scientists aren’t sure exactly how the rocks—which can weigh hundreds of pounds—make their way across the dry lake bed. The prevailing theory is that when the rocks are wet or icy, they’re pushed along the flat playa by strong winds. The deep groove marks they leave behind indicate they may travel up to 700 http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2360&start=60 feet from their point of origin. Winds have been described in ancient past as the Ether. Our studies of the winds bring us ultimately to the questions revolving around power and light. Isn’t that interesting. Round in circles we go but always end up back at the same starting point In “Pursuing Power and Light: Technology and Physics from James Watt to Albert Einstein, by Bruce J. Hunt, this author examines the experiments of Albert A. Michelson (1852-1931) who was a young physics instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1880. He was a master of precision optical measurement, and realized that if he could split a beam of light, sending two parts off in different directions, then recombine them, the waves would interfere and produce a pattern of fringes that would be exquisitely sensitive to any change in the speeds or path lengths of the beams. By noting the position of this pattern, turning his “interferometer” through a 90-degree angle, and then looking for any shift in the fringes, he should be able to detect a difference as small as one part in 100 million between the speed of a beam that went with and then against the ether wind and one that simply went back and forth across it. Michelson built his first interferometer while on a study trip to Germany and took careful observations with it early in 1881. To his surprise, he found no significant shift of the fringes and no sign of the expected ether wind….. In 1881, Michelson used his interferometer to try to measure how fast the earth was moving through the ether by splitting a beam of light and sending the two resulting rays bouncing back and forth both with and across the earth’s line of motion, which he hoped to be able to detect the slight effect of the “ether wind” blowing across the moving earth ought to have on the speed of light. He found no measurable effect, however, either in 1881 or when he repeated the experiment more carefully with E. W. Morley in 1887. Michelson’s results raised deep questions about the ether and our supposed motion through it that were not fully resolved until Albert Einstein formulated his theory of relativity in 1905 (Pursuing Power and Light: Technology and Physics from James Watt to Albert Einstein, by Bruce J. Hunt).” With the failure of these experiment because of fringe drift, the idea remains the same, although, they could not prove aetheral dragging, they realized... …that special relativity from Einstein in 1905 that was derived from the Lorentz transformation and thus length contraction and time dilation from the relativity postulate and the constancy of the speed of light, Einstein emphasized the kinematic foundation of the theory and the modification of the notion of space and time, with a stationary aether that no longer played any role in his theory, but instead was motivated by Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism (in the form as it was given by Lorentz in 1895) and the unfortunate lack of evidence for the luminiferous aeither. Thus, scientists concluded after just a mere few decades of experimenting and some failures that, “for a co-ordinate system moving with the earth the mirror system of Michelson and Morley is not shortened, but it is shortened for a co-ordinate system which is at rest relatively to the sun – Albert Einstein, 1916. Overall, MANY historians argue that the Michelson-Morley experiment had no significant role in the path to special relativity, BUT other statements show forth Einstein’s complete reliance upon one single object - the Sun for their theories. Based on the “null results” of the Michelson-Morley experiment, this helped the notion of the constancy of speed of light to gain rapid acceptance. Thus we are CATAPOLTED into the Heliocentric Model by none other than a complete reliance on the Sun for all our mathematics and calculations to base an imaginary view of the universe into our perceptions so as to indoctrinate every child that goes through school to these theories even though there was NO physical proof to their existence. Amazing.

The estimated weight of the Earth is 6 septillion tons (Earth weighs about 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds {or 5,974,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms}. Also remember since there is no scale big enough to weigh the Earth physically, it must be weighed by mathematics and “laws of gravity”). If the Earth were solid, its weight would be much greater. Scientists have ample evidence to know the Earth is not as they have taught us in a round and dense ball, but a hollow Earth that exists on a plane.
