The World Turns
THE
WORLD TURNS
Genesis Chapter 1
The
Lord saith and I report: In the beginning God built Himself a
universe. In the process of the speaking, He spoke into existence a
dark planet called earth; world. Floating along in eternal darkness
without purpose and lacking design it appears of total unimportance
to celestial creations that never questioned or doubted God’s work.
But, God was just beginning his project. Some point of eternity saw
the beginning of an unfamiliar and paralleled apparition which God
dubbed ‘time.’
In
short God pulled into proper perspective all the floating space
bodies and designed their purpose and course. Nothing in eternity
moves or changes unless God speaks a change. As far as astrologers
and astronomy have been able to penetrate the great unknown, there is
always movement. Ball shapes and circles predominate the vast visible
space.
When
God separated he darkness of the world into be half lit and half in
shadow, he called them day and night. For night He created a moon
bright and shiny from the reflected light of the sun. He set the moon
in motion circling the earth once in every twenty eight days and
spinning around once every twenty four hours. The earth he moved into
orbit around the sun and caused it to spin on its axis every twenty
four hours; minus. Thus as the world turns ( once every 24+ hrs) and
circles the sun, it experiences day and night while never viewing the
back side of the moon. Humans of the smarter sort, have divided the
globe into 360 degrees and have calculated that any spot at the
equator and outward would turn through fifteen degrees in fifteen
minutes; called time zones. Thus the natural movement of the earth on
its axis and tilt produces seasons while its spinning creates days
and nights with regard to its positioning and rotating. For the sun
to appear to stand still, the earth would have to accelerate its
turning. For the dial shadow to move backward the earth would have to
reverse its spinning motion. Though in olden, old times, these truths
were not known. How miraculous is God’s control that he can reverse
even the movement of celestial bodies in the universe and start them
again as they were? II Kings 20:10
“Go
down - In an instant: for that motion of the sun is natural for the
kind of it, though miraculous for the swiftness of it; but the other
would be both ways miraculous.

Kings 20: 8
“And
Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall
be
the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the
house of the LORD the third day? 9
And
Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD
will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward
ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10
And
Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten
degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11
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.”
Degrees
- These degrees were lines in the dial: but whether each of these
lines or degrees noted an hour, or half an hour, or a quarter of an
hour, is uncertain. If
it were as it is, forty-five minutes would have been lost. When the
shadow moved back the sun moves forward.
- Amos 8:9 “And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:”
- The earth turns, spins, circles without which there would be no time; in warning it jitterbugs. God holds us and our world in His mighty hand. We are safe. Know God, know peace. Amen. 03-30-2020 BLL
