Its not round you know...

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the
earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
Revelation 7:1 (NIV translation)
It is a well-established Biblical fact that the Earth is flat and immobile. Ever !ood Biblical literalist
"nows the #cri$t%ral $assa!es which demonstrate that the Earth does not move and that its s%rface is
not c%rved: &aniel ':1(-11) *atthew ':+) ,osh%a 1(:1-) 1 .hronicles 1/:0() 1salms 20:1 3 2/:1( 3
1(':4) Isaiah '4:1+5 the list !oes on and on.
B%t far too man la6 Biblical literalists toda i!nore the $lain fact that the Bible also tells %s that the
flat Earth does not have c%rved ed!es. Even the late) !reat .harles 7. ,ohnson) the valiant fi!hter for
the 8r%th who carried the messa!e of the earlier 9etetic :stronomers forward into the twentieth and
twent-first cent%ries b fo%ndin! the International ;lat Earth #ociet) made the !rievo%s error of
ass%min! that the Earth was sha$ed li"e a circ%lar dis". Nothin! co%ld be f%rther from the 8r%th.
8he Boo" of Revelation) cha$ter 7) verse 1) ma"es the followin! %nmista"able statement abo%t the
sha$e of the Earth
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the
earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
8his clearl shows that the Earth has e<actl fo%r corners. =ne mi!ht ar!%e that the ed!es of the Earth
between these fo%r corners co%ld be c%rved. B%t loo" at the followin! $assa!es in the Boo" of ,ob
for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
,ob -+:-' (NIV translation)
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
,ob 07:0 (NIV translation)
Both of these $assa!es clearl state that the earth has ends > that is) strai!ht ed!es. 8his) combined
with the fo%r corners $rovided in Revelation 7:1) means that the Earth m%st be some "ind of
?%adrilateral sha$e. 8he $ossibilities are:
#?%are
Non-s?%are rectan!le
Non-s?%are rhomb%s (i.e. a @diamond@ sha$e)
Non-rectan!%lar) non-rhombic $arallelo!ram
8ra$e6oid
.oncave ?%adrilateral
Isosceles ?%adrilateral
#calene ?%adrilateral
Narrowin! down the $ossibilities) we can find more information abo%t the sha$e of the Earth in the
Boo" of Isaiah
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered
people of Judah from the four uarters of the earth.
Isaiah 11:1- (NIV translation)
: ?%arter) of co%rse) means e<actl one-fo%rth. In order for the Earth to have fo%r ?%arters) it m%st be
of a sha$e that is divisible into fo%r $ieces that are all e<actl the same sha$e and si6e as one another)
i.e. fo%r con!r%ent $ieces. Not all ?%adrilateral sha$es can be divided into fo%r con!r%ent $ieces. In
fact) the onl "inds of ?%adrilateral sha$es that can be divided into fo%r con!r%ent $ieces are the
followin!
(so) in li!ht of Isaiah 11:1-) the two ,ob $assa!es) and Revelation 7:1)) the $ossible sha$es of the Earth
are limited to
#?%are
Non-s?%are rectan!le
Non-s?%are rhomb%s
Non-rectan!%lar) non-rhombic $arallelo!ram
Isosceles tra$e6oid with three sides of identical len!th
Isosceles tra$e6oid with the shorter $arallel side 1A0 the len!th of the lon!er $arallel side
Isosceles concave ?%adrilateral .
;inall) we can loo" to the mention of the fo%r winds in Revelation 7:1 to !ive %s the last cl%e.
Everbod "nows that @the fo%r winds@ are the North Bind) the #o%th Bind) the East Bind) and the
Best Bind. Ri!htC
Bell) Revelation 7:1 clearl shows fo%r an!els holdin! bac" these fo%r winds. In order for each an!el
to @hold bac"@ one of the ;o%r Binds) he wo%ld have to be standin! at the $oint on the Earth from
whence the Bind ori!inated. 8h%s) to hold bac" the North Bind) an an!el wo%ld have to be standin! at
the northernmost $oint on the Earth. 8o hold bac" the #o%th Bind) an an!el wo%ld have to be standin!
at the so%thernmost $oint on the Earth. Et cetera.
8he fo%r an!els wo%ld have to have been standin! at the northernmost) so%thernmost) easternmost) and
westernmost $oints on the Earth > in other words) at the e<treme ends of the fo%r main com$ass
$oints.
B%t we alread "now that the were also standin! at the fo%r corners of the Earth. 8his means that the
fo%r corners of the Earth are located at the com$ass $ointsD : non-s?%are rectan!le) a non-rhombic
$arallelo!ram) or an isosceles tra$e6oid cannot be ali!ned in s%ch a wa that their corners are $ointin!
directl at the com$ass $oints. =nl a rhombic sha$e can be ali!ned in s%ch a wa.
8herefore) when we have caref%ll e<amined all the cl%es in Revelation 7:1) combined with the two
,ob $assa!es and Isaiah 11:1-) the onl two $ossible sha$es for the Earth are a s?%are) or
a non-s?%are rhomb%s . . . with its corners oriented to $oint directl north) so%th) east) and west.
Be "now that Eod is $erfect. Eod wo%ld) therefore) have created the Earth in the most $erfect sha$e
$ossible. :s IFve alread $roven) we "now from Rev 7:1) Isaiah 11:1-) and ,ob that the Earth m%st be a
rhomb%s of some sort. It ma"es !ood Biblical sense that Eod wo%ld have created Earth to be the most
$erfect "ind of rhomb%s $ossible. 8he most $erfect "ind of rhomb%s is the s?%are. Its rectilinear corners
$erfectl match the rectit%de of Eod. 8herefore) the Earth m%st be s?%are.
:nd if thatFs not eno%!h to convince o%) consider this: =f all the nations on Earth toda) Eod most
loves the Gnited #tates of :merica. 8his is evident from the fact that 1at Robertson) EodFs chosen
s$o"esman) lives in the G.#. =ne of :mericaFs main $astimes is the !ame of baseball. Baseball is
$laed on a @diamond@) which is $erfectl s?%are in sha$e > and which) I mi!ht add) has its corners
oriented to $oint toward the fo%r com$ass $oints. Eod wo%ld not have made baseball into the national
$astime of His Ffavo%riteF nation if He didnFt have a hi!her $%r$ose in mind for it. .learl) His hi!her
$%r$ose is to show %s the tr%e sha$e of the Earth. 8he Earth m%st be $erfectl s?%are) I%st li"e the
diamond-sha$ed field in EodFs chosen s$ort is s?%are.
8a"e a !ander at this $assa!e from ;irst #am%el
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among

$(hat about Isaiah -.!//'$
Isaiah) cha$ter '() verse -- reads (in the NIV translation)
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out
the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
&oes this mean the Earth is circ%larC Not at all. If it were circ%lar) ,obFs mention of the ends of the
Earth wo%ld be meanin!less. 8he word translated as @circle@ in this verse is the Hebrew @ch%w!@)
which can mean circle) b%t can also mean circ%it or com$ass. Bhen occ%rrin! b itself) this word can
also mean the va%lt of the heavens. 8his verse $robabl refers to the fact that Eod sits enthroned above
the va%lt of the heavens) which encom$asses the whole Earth. Besides) everone "nows that tents are
