Brother Moses_Young,

All I am saying is that the sun rises on Jerusalem, in the east, to an altitude of around 28.65 statute miles above sea level when it gets due south of Jerusalem. Then from there it starts going down, all the way until it sets in the west, on Jerusalem, at an altitude of around 7.83 statute miles above sea level. From there it continues over the north at that altitude until it gets to the east again, where it rises on Jerusalem again. The moon and the stars that run their courses near the sun also have similar altitudes.

And the math for the altitude of the sun comes from reverse engineering the heliocentric model. The line of light from the edge of the sun to the Geographical North Pole, on the equinox, is the hypotenuse side of the right triangle. The perpendicular line - to the line going through the center of a sphere world from the Geographical North Pole to the Geographical South Pole - from the Geographical North Pole to where it intersects the sun, on the equinox, is the adjacent side of the right triangle. Then since the world is flat, the length of the adjacent side of the right triangle is 6,214.209 statute miles - the distance from the Geographical North Pole to the equator - and since you know the angle of elevation to the top of the seen sun from the horizon, you just solve for the opposite side of the right triangle, that is the height of the sun above the world, on the equinox, on the Longitude 035.23474576724° E line, when it is due south of Jerusalem.

The formula is:

opposite = tan(angle) × adjacent

You then just multiply that answer, 28.6467 statute miles by 0.2732395447, the percent the distance from the Geographical North Pole to the north Geographical South Pole is of the distance from the Geographical North Pole to the south Geographical South Pole, to get 7.8274 statute miles.

Glory to God.

Precious friend, A Very Warm Welcome To Chat.
You have a nice video; is your favorite verse Ephesians 4:32?

Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified In
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided
(+ I and II).

Grace, Peace, And JOY!… + RICH Blessings
Thank you. I am experimenting with starting up my own YouTube channel to spread the Lord's message.

There's too much negative stuff on the internet today. I just thought I'd like to put something nice out there and if I can help people too, even better. I don't know if the content is any good or not, but I'll find out quickly enough I guess!

As for my favorite verse, I don't really know. There are many good ones. The book is packed with great content. God was the first influencer, haha!

This seems relevant:
“For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.”
- Romans 14:8

Whatever I do with my online content, whether it succeeds or not, I'll be doing it for Him.

Love the verse you chose. Can never go wrong citing the Apostle Paul--he loved the Lord dearly!

Amen! I'm kinda like Noah, many years a "preacher of righteousness," and NONE
(besides his family), "entered the ark."

I don't have many years left, but IF I can Encourage and Edify some, or even ONE,
I will rejoice with ALL saints, when we meet, In God's Great GloryLand! 😇

Look at these beautiful verses from Paul that give complete praise to our calling (Philippians 4):

4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
