Human fingerprints in the Bible - a flat earth

Passages in the Bible support the idea that the Biblical authors believed the earth to be flat and supported by pillars.

The phrase "ends of the earth" appears 46 times in the NIV Bible. Something flat has “ends”. A sphere does not.

Here's a sample of the phrases:

Job 28:24 "for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens."

Psalm 61:2, "From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Psalm 135:7, "He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses."

Revelations 7:1 describes the earth as having corners. It states, “After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.”

 

Not only that, but evidence that the earth was flat and supported by pillars. See, Isaiah 41:5, stating, “ the ends of the earth tremble.”

Job 26:11 describes a different planet than the one we're familiar with. On this planet, the heavens are supported by pillars. 

Other passages mention the pillars that support the earth:

Psalm 75:3, “when the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm”.

1 Samuel 2:8, “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world.”

 Job 9:6, states, “he shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.” 

Psalms 18:7 states, “the earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook”

Psalm 82:5, “ They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.” 

Psalm 104:5, “he set the earth in its foundations; it can never be moved.”
