We would like to appeal to those who continue to insist that Bible Cosmology is a topic that distracts our attention and aims at preventing us from focusing on Jesus. Please, take your time to study. This cannot be further from the truth.
Developing a true relationship with Jesus is the most important thing and it should be so for everyone who accepts Christ as his Savior. But we must ask ourselves: When did truth become a topic that distracts our attention, or even unimportant?
A closer relationship with Jesus
People have developed a closer relationship with Jesus and thousands more are doing this – people who have learned the truth of the place that we live in. How does Jesus feel, in your opinion, when people post comments saying that the earth as the Bible describes it is nonsense and meaningless? Don’t they realize that thus they claim that the Bible actually contains truth that is no longer important?
The vast majority of the world is asleep in regard to the way in which Satan is deceiving the world. He has worked on this deception specifically for thousands of years – from the beginning.
Think about this for a moment. Since we learned to talk, we were taught that we live in a vast open space. Generation after generation, parents have unconsciously entertained this error because they have known no better. We move through our whole life and we see nothing but globes – all day long, every day. We see it in every TV emission, every movie, every news block, in newspapers, logos, textbooks, and encyclopedias. Teachers describe it, preachers present it. We cannot even check the weather forecast anymore without seeing the maps of our local area attached to a giant ball of water.
They try to make us believe that we have satellite television, that we use the latest GPS system and in the news we hear about every new planet that has been discovered (if we happen to stay alive while the daily asteroid is passing by). All the while we are sitting comfortably, watching the newest sci-fi movie, dreaming of visiting Mars and playing the newest video game with aliens through Wi-fi.
A massive deception
The globe has been pushed more than anything else – pushed for so many years. So much, so that if someone hears that you think differently, you are mocked and deemed crazy. We have been programmed to think so, no matter whether we realize this or not. People refuse to explore this topic because in their minds they have the notion that there is no way for them to have been lied to.
When a person who describes himself as Christian is asked whether he believes in the Big Bang, he says: “No way!”? And when you ask him what his opinion is about Evolution, he replies: “This is a lie of the devil.” Then, when you ask him whether we live on a motionless, stationary earth, you receive the answer: “We cannot have been lied to. These are scientists.” Do you see the problem?
A solemn warning against twisting the Scriptures
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and nothing should be added to it or taken away from it.
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book…” Rev. 22:18.
Men should never twist the Word of God so that it would suit their own opinions. If we want to be true Christians, it is vital for us to believe the Scriptures. Either the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it is true at 100 percent, or it is not. We must bring every theory to the test of the Bible to see whether it is true or not. This includes evolution, the Big Bang, or the so-called aliens from space.
Every one of the Bible writers who recorded the revelations that God had given him, knew that the earth is firm and immovable. No one thought that we were living on a globe that spins on its axis at more than 1,000 miles per hour and flying around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour. There are hundreds of verses, declaring that God has created a solid, stationary earth, with a firmament (resembling a dome), within the confines of which he has placed the sun, moon, and stars.
Unscriptural theories
We are explicitly told that Satan deceives the whole world. But most Christians are of the opinion that they are not included in this number because they are saved. Friends, we have all been deluded in a certain way, and if we are honest, Satan has been deceiving people since what happened in the Garden of Eden.
Therefore, if we realize, as Christians, that we have been lied to in regard to theories like the Big Bang and Evolution, why do so many of us still believe what these “scientists” who claim that we have originated from monkeys say regarding space and the earth? At this time, Satan is the leader of the world and the Bible clearly calls him “the father of lies”.
“When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44.
Think about it for a moment. Is it possible that he would lie about everything else but not about the creation of a vast, endless universe? Or there is a high possibility that he may be lying about this as well? And, just like the previous generations, for us to have bought into this lie?
A cloud of witnesses
In several places, all throughout the Bible, we see that a certain something is confirmed by two or three witnesses.
“… at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.” Deut. 19:15.
In view of this, how many Old Testament prophets has God used to write the Bible? We definitely have many witnesses. Therefore, let us start from the beginning.
The Creation Week
On Day 4 God created the sun, moon, and stars.
“And God made two great lights… he made the stars also… And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.” Gen. 1:16-19.
Yet the grass, the fruits, the trees and all the vegetation were created on Day 3. This does not fit the globe model that we have been taught. We could have literally made a green-leaf salad on the third day, but the whole endless universe, including all the (supposed) galaxies, full of stars and planets, were created in Day 4! This ought to make you think.
Was the earth spinning during the first three days? If it was not, then the force that is said to counteract that spinning (called “gravity”) would have crushed everything on Earth! The next question is: when did God make gravity?
What were we circling about before he created the sun? Actually, where does the Bible even mention that God made the earth spin on its axis faster than the speed of sound? And, most importantly, when did he set it in motion, to circle around the sun?
You will discover that there are many things which we have added to His creation to make it suit what we have been taught.
Furthermore, the Bible states that God created two great lights – the larger one to govern the day and the smaller one to govern the night.
“And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” Gen. 1:16.
And this text means exactly what it says – two great lights. Therefore, the moon was also given its own light.
“Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name…” Jer. 31:35-36.
We have been taught that the moon is a giant rock which has magical reflective properties, and that it reflects the light of the sun. The Bible tells us that the sun, moon and stars are created for the purpose of showing the times and the seasons, and to give light unto the earth.
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years…” Gen. 1:14.
This means that the stars were created with the aim of lighting the earth. It also means that they were not considered great lights. Man however tells us that the stars are giant and many of them are much larger than our own sun, and millions of times larger than the earth. And that all of them are light years away from us, and have their own “solar systems”.
Is there any sense in God creating a vast universe, including all the stars, the so called planets and galaxies, in Day 4, and spending the rest of Creation week focusing on the earth, creating plants, animals and man?
The stars
The truth is that stars are much smaller and much closer than modern science wants us to believe. They are placed above our heads, like a giant clock of the sky, given to us by God, so that when we look up we may know what time it is. Actually, in several places in the Bible, we are told that one day the stars will fall on the earth.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken…” Matt. 24:29.
In fact, Jesus Himself tells us this. Such a statement must be a giant red flag for the globe theory, if you believe the Bible, because it shows the true nature of what the stars are. Jesus knew exactly what the stars are and His words mean that at the end of time the stars are literally going to start falling off from their place on the Firmament and going down to the surface of the earth.
If we listen to what people say, this would mean for millions of beach balls to strike a single grain of sand. There is a reason why we have been told that the wisdom of this world is foolishness unto God (1 Cor. 3:19).
The extraordinary events in Joshua and Isaiah
In Joshua 10:12-14 and Isaiah 38:7, 8 we see something really interesting. In Joshua, the Lord stopped the sun so that it would not set for a whole day. In Isaiah he made the sun to return back ten degrees on the sundial. According to popular opinion, both cases would mean that the globe earth has completely stopped its motion. And in the case of the book of Isaiah, it must have spun backward, so that it would make the sun seem as if it had returned back on its course through the sky.
The truth is that the earth is firm and stationary, and the much smaller and closer sun that circles above our heads has stopped. And in the case in Isaiah it returned back. There are many cases in the Bible which we have not understood clearly because we have been indoctrinated with the wrong model.
The Tower of Babel
What about the Tower of Babel? If the earth was a globe spinning on its axis, why did God not allow them to build it? Gen. 11:8-9. Think about it. If there was open space, they would not be able to stay alive. Why would Nimrod even try to build it? Wouldn’t the enemy know, at least, that the earth is a globe? Would not the tower be destroyed when it reaches the point where the atmosphere which moves at 1,000 mph, spinning along with the earth, comes in contact with the non-spinning vacuum of space? And if I’m not mistaken, aren’t we told that the temperatures up there are quite inhospitable? Personally, it seems to me, from what I have been taught in science classes, that the issue would be solved in itself.
But instead, God intervened. I am interested to learn the statement of the globe theory about the Tower of Babel. The earth must have swung this building around like a baseball bat. The truth is that the builders of the tower tried to reach the Firmament. God knew this, and this is the reason why he stopped them.
We can go on and on. Because once you realize the truth, you will read the whole Bible with new eyes.
Theories aimed at obscuring the truth of the Creator
One last thing to consider: if we are really placed on a plain, stationary earth, with a Firmament over it (resembling a dome), within the confines of which God placed the sun, moon, and stars, wouldn’t it be the aim of the devil to devise a deception which would literally eclipse the Creator from us?
Think about it. Evolution, the Big Bang, atheism, the endless, constantly expanding universe in which man has no value and everything happens by chance, the imaginative asteroids and hot waves from the sun aim at concealing the creative works of God, so that man would not repent!
Not to mention the (so-called) aliens who are going to gather around them the nations of the earth and unite all the armies of the world in the very end, to protect the earth from… Jesus!
All of these false suppositions are based on a single lie. Once you see the truth, it becomes very obvious that the cosmic globe lie is part of the great deception of Satan in the last days.
There are many experimental proofs that show the truthfulness of the Bible account. For example, many of us have done hundreds of measurements of the (supposed) curvature of the earth and none of them has shown that we live on a globe. There is just no curvature.
One Final Day of Judgment
Therefore, no matter how you feel or what position you take in regard to Bible Cosmology, one thing is inevitable: there will come a day when we will have to stand before the Lord and give an account for every word that has come out of our mouths.
“Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” Acts. 3:21.
Are you prepared to stand before the Lord if you are in error because you have taken the side of secular wisdom? Or it is necessary for us to twist His Scriptures so that they may suit what atheist scholars tell us happened millions of years ago?
It is necessary for us to have a humble heart to find the truth. Pride is one of the greatest sins, and it will prevent many from even looking. The decision is yours. May God bless you as you take your position to stand for the truth.
