I submitted a question a few weeks ago. So far I've haven't received an answer. I believe the question was, Does Revelation.1:7 indicate that the world is flat and not round?
"Does Revelation 1:7 indicate that the world is flat and not round?"
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." Rev 1:7
The verse states that "every eye shall see Him." So does that mean that the earth is flat?
Well, can you see anything that might be 100 miles away or more. Almost everything that's happening around the world is out of your eyesight, isn't it?
But when Jesus appears, EVERYBODY will get a personal interview.
"For we must ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 2Co 5:10
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works." Rev 20:11-13
When Jesus returns He will execute judgement. There will be no place to hide. EVERYONE will stand before God.
That EVERY eye will see Him has nothing to do with the shape of the earth. It's irrelevant.
The question is, what have you done with Jesus. Are you trusting in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection to save you from God's wrath against your sin and rebellion?
Hi Wayne, what the Bible says about flat or round earth has been asked/answered recently, but maybe it wasn't yours.
Isaiah 40:22 says the circle of the earth which to me means round as a globe. This is reinforced by anyone who travels and knows they can fly in the same direction and end up where you started. There are other scientific ways to prove the earth is round too which is consistent with the Bible.
The verse you refer to say the 4 corners of the earth. To me, nothing in this verse indicates that the earth is flat. Revelations is also full of symbolism and visions which needs to be taken into consideration.
