Right on, like Jesus answered in John 11:9 wherein it is written, are there not twelve hours in the day?
But this Saturday morning look up towards the SW since the moon will be visible during daytime hours, I guess the moon didn't know it would have to work a rotating shift. Bummer.
I would like to hear your source that says the sun shadow went back ten steps on Ahaz's stairway. Where does it say that the earth stop spinning?
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. 2 Kings 20:11
Maybe ole Isaiah simply adjusted the position of the dial to account for the declination which occurs naturally due to the earth's position relative to the sun. Even today if your property survey says starting from the POB to follow an azimuth of 275% for 1,000 yards, if it was recorded years back then if you follow a bearing of 275% you probably won't find the survey stake since depending on the certain factors the bearing could be off as much as 10%.
They say the magnetic compass wasn't invented until well after the Pyramids of Giza were built yet they are perfectly aligned with each side of the pyramids facing due N, S, E & W. Also in Genesis when Adam & Eve were driven out of the garden of Eden a Cherubim was set on the at the east gate to keep the the way of the tree of life. The sphinx is situated on the east side of the pyramids, facing east. And of course the sun rises in the east. Interesting how they would have had foreknowledge of the directional points for a compass that had yet to be invented.
But if you would, can you give that source for the stairwell scriptures?
I think I was looking at the NASV 1977 but here are the verse from are the top bibles in use. Read back at what I said basically scripture doesn't say anything about the earth stopping so the verse IMO it is not referring to a stationary object on earth like a sun dial or a stairway...
