&THE BIBLE
Thought this was pretty amazing and
interesting!
For all the scientists out there, and for all the students
who have a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible,
here's something that shows God's awesome creation, and that He is still in
control.
Did you know
that the space program is busy proving that what has been called "myth" in the
Bible is true?
Mr. Harold
Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland, and a
consultant in the space program, relates the following
development.
I think one
of the most amazing things that God has done for us today happened recently to
our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt,
They were checking out where the positions of
the sun, moon, and planets would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now. We
have to know this so we won't send up a satellite and have it bump into
something later on in its orbits.
We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the
life of the satellite and where the planets will be so the whole thing will
not bog down.
They ran
the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries, and it came to a
halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was
something wrong with either the information fed into it or with the results as
compared to the standards.
They called in the service department to check
it out, and they said, 'What's wrong?' Well, they found there is a day missing
in space in elapsed time.
They scratched their heads and tore their hair
out. There was no answer.
Finally a Christian man on the team said, 'You
know, one time I was in Sunday School, and they talked about the sun standing
still.' While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so
they said, 'Show us.'
He got a Bible
and went to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement
for any one with 'common sense.'
There they found the Lord saying to
Joshua,
'Fear them not, I
have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before
Thee'
Joshua was
concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy! And if darkness fell, they
would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still!
That's right... 'The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to go
down about a whole day!'
The astronauts and scientists said, “There’s the missing
day!” They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and
found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing
back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes ... not a whole
day.
They read the Bible,
and there it was about [approximately] a day. These little words in the Bible
are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account
for 40 minutes, you'll still be in trouble 1000 years from
now.
Forty minutes had to
be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits. As the
Christi an employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible
where it said the sun went BACKWARDS.
The scientists told him he was out of his mind,
but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings that told of the
following story: Hezekiah, on his death bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah
who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof.
Isaiah said 'Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?'
Hezekiah said, 'It is
nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward
10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and the Lord brought the shadow ten
degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes!
Twenty-three hours
and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day
in the universe! Isn't it amazing?
References: Joshua 10:8 and 12, 13 and 2 Kings
20:9-11.
Forward this to
as many people who you believe would think this is equally as
cool.
