The four "corners" you can't seem to get past are
four extremities, I.e., the four cardinal directions.
Ever bothered to read past Rev. 7:1?

Good post Huckleberry. I've cutteded and pasteded this;

Perhaps no phrase in Scripture has been so controversial as the phrase, “the four corners of the earth.” The word translated “corners,” as in the phrase above, is the Hebrew word, KANAPH. Kanaph is translated in a variety of ways. However, it generally means extremity.
It is translated “borders” in Numbers 15:38. In Ezekiel 7:2 it is translated “four corners” and again in Isaiah 11:12 “four corners.” Job 37:3 and 38:13 as “ends.”
The Greek equivalent in Revelation 7:1 is gonia. The Greek meaning is perhaps more closely related to our modern divisions known as quadrants. Gonia literally means angles, or divisions. It is customary to divide a map into quadrants as shown by the four directions.
Some have tried to ridicule the Bible to say that it teaches that the Earth is square. The Scripture makes it quite clear that the Earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22).
Some have tried to say there are four knobs, or peaks on a round Earth. Regardless of the various ways kanaph is translated, it makes reference to EXTREMITIES.
There are many ways in which God the Holy Spirit could have said corner. Any of the following Hebrew words could have been used:

  • Pinoh is used in reference to the cornerstone.
  • Paioh means “a geometric corner”
  • Ziovyoh means “right angle” or “corner”
  • Krnouth refers to a projecting corner.
  • Paamouth - If the Lord wanted to convey the idea of a square, four-cornered Earth, the Hebrew word paamouth could have been used. Paamouth means square.
Instead, the Holy Spirit selected the word kanaph, conveying the idea of extremity.
It is doubtful that any religious Jew would ever misunderstand the true meaning of kanaph. For nearly 2,000 years, religious Jews have faced the city of Jerusalem three times daily and chanted the following prayer:

Sound the great trumpet for our freedom,
Raise the banner for gathering our exiles,
And gather us together from THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH
into our own land.
​
The Book of Isaiah describes how the Messiah, the Root of Jesse, shall regather his people from the four corners of the Earth. They shall come from every extremity to be gathered into Israel.
"And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious."
It shall come to pass in that day
That the LORD shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
(Isaiah 11:10-12, New King James Version)

I saw a video on YouTube recently which discussed "solids of constant width", one of which was a rounded triangular pyramidal shape with... four corners. (They say the geeks shall inherit the earth... )
 
Even if the world had been a flat, round disk, there wouldn't have been any corners.

Maybe we live on a cube?

Solid geometry or 3D geometry The geometry like we learned in school, says a triangle as three sides the sum of all three corners cannot exceed 180 degrees. But 3D geometry can have 90 degree corners That would fit a curves surface as well.

LOL Naw. We live in a digital world. Like the Matrix. Believe it or not, there are those who suspect that we actually do.

When you see an eclipse of the moon, what is the shape of the earth that is reflected on the moon. When you watch the transit of other planets across the sun what shape do these planets have? When you look through your telescope at the other planets, what shape do they have? Do you really believe that the earth is the only planet in the solar system that is flat?

We don't all have a degree in physics, Old Hermit.

so you serve God by telling lies fascinating,though I do get your word play lol,the earth you read of is the flat earth as in,the ground,that is also referred to as earth,not our "entire world"which is talked about in genesis,yep you've read the bible alright...as a "book" or "newspaper" not with the holy spirit,for you know a little enough to speak for God against satan yet not enough to understand what you read "spiritually" from the bible not "naturally" because anyone can "read" the bible but understanding you receive from the holy spirit after being saved and baptized,so you learn "thetruth" not "a truth",if you truly want to serve God then humble yourself before him!

I certainly hope they get ride in rocket ships down to where it's affordable so you flat earth nutjobs can go up and see for yourself in real time that the earth is ... ROUND!


You comment on a lot of posts. I noticed you are degrading to people with different opinions. If this guy wants to discuss if the earth is flat or a sphere how about adding some scientific evidence instead of speaking to people like you do. If you actually are a Christian than you really need to start praying about how you speak to people.
