Reread what saith scripture. Your video was amateur hour for 17 minutes. He said things like "the flat earthers have just been lucky" he says, that because they can attach mystery to Antarctica that's why it was popular. I suspect that once one see the truth they tire of telling the dumb and blind world. Some people understand, others never will, the globe is ingrained in your brain. Perhaps by somewhat of a revelation it hits you. You are the one putting extra non-biblical meaning to the words circuit and lines. Read what it says, not what you say. The WHOLE heaven, the END OF THE HEAVEN..We're not zipping through "space" at millions upon millions of miles per hour while spinning 1,000 miles per hour. The earth has satellites, some of which are the sun and moon. Did you watch the eclipse from a plane video yet?
Deal with it internally for a while.
What do these verses describe to you?
Psalm 19:1-6 KJV -
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
Job 37:3 KJV - He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Job 28:24-27 KJV - For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
Under the WHOLE heaven is an enclosed flat earth and cosmos or could be. Because if the whole heaven is as big as science says, that would require other planets with life, waters, under the whole heaven. None of which is mentioned in scripture. It sounds to me there that the tabernacle for the sun makes the earth the center of the "universe", the earth is the tabernacle.

KJV Dictionary Definition: breadth - Definition Number 1.
breadth
BREADTH, n. bredth. The measure or extent of any plain surface from side to side; a geometrical dimension, which,multiplied into the length, constitutes a surface; as,the length of a table is five feet, and the breadth, three; 5x3=15 feet, the whole surface.
KJV Dictionary Definition: compass
compass
Stretch; reach; extent; the limit or boundary of a space, and the space included; applied to time, space, sound, &c. Our knowledge lies within a very narrow compass. The universe extends beyond the compass of our thoughts. So we say, the compass of a year, the compass of an empire, the compass of reason, the compass of the voice.
And in that compass all the world contains.

Hmmm, the thread was closed a minute ago. Any way the most important portion of the video I posted, imo, starts at the 15:30 point. What you see on the diagram are observations from those points on the earth, (from the tropics and the equator), and those three views occurring simultaneously all at the same time of year are absolutely not possible on a flat earth model. Those observations prove that the earth is a sphere because the lines demarcated by the two tropics and the equator are no doubt parallel lines, (even in your flat earth model). The reason that the sun appears to do three different things from those three locations all at the same time can only be true because the earth is a sphere, and thus, the differences are due to perception because the observers are viewing the sun from locations on a giant sphere.
Moreover simple and straightforward observations made with a sundial demolish the flat earth theory; a sundial simply cannot work on a flat earth because the geometry would not allow it, and a simple experiment such as in the following video easily shows this to be the case:
It was necessary for me to study sundials in order to better understand the calendar, and the
yamim-hours of Creation in the first chapter of Genesis, and the hours of the
shabuim-weeks of hours in the prayer times of the Prophet Daniel, which are all fulfilled in the ministry of Meshiah and consummated at Golgotha and in the resurrection of Meshiah. The ultimate answers are found in the various types of sundials. There are about four main differing opinions about the sundial of Ahaz, as to what kind of sundial it may have been: some suggest it may have concerned the steps at the temple, on the eastern side at the Golden Gate, (because of the "Psalms of Degrees" or steps, mostly written by Hezekiah the king of Judah). Others say it may have been an actual stepped sundial, the kind which has a wall next to the steps on each end with two flights of steps going up, like ramps facing each other, like so:

http://www.britam.org/Questions/QuesArchaeology.html
Others suggest that it may have been like this one below, found at Madein Saleh; which is now at Istanbul Archaeological Museum of the Ancient Orient, and thought to have been based on the Scaphe, a primitive model which is said to have been first invented by Aristarchus, (whom we have also discussed, and I know that does not go back as far as Ahaz, but who really knows?).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphe
There was also one of this type unearthed at the Jerusalem temple ruins, (which is probably at the Israeli Museum, these two image files are likely a replica). It was a small hand-held portable version of the one pictured above, and it is no doubt from the second temple era, Herod's temple, and thought to have likely been owned by a priest, (who must surely know the hours of the day if he is engaged in sacrificial duties, prayers, etc., at the temple). It could be placed out-doors on a ledge or even in an exposed window sill or ledge, in direct sunlight; and if positioned correctly it would display the hours of the day by the shadow of the sun. This is the same site which has the image file of the one above, (I have not read this page and am only linking to it because of the image files).
http://www.scripturalsabbath.com/sun_and_moon.html
And of course there is the equatorial or equinoctial sundial as shown in the image files below. It really does not matter what kind of sundial it was that is mentioned in the scripture, (the sundial of Ahaz, 2Kgs20:1-11, Isa38:1-8), because in the end the results are the same: every sundial uses some sort of gnomon, or a wall, (step sundial), or a portico-overhang, (such as over the stairs at the temple gates), which is placed in the sunlight in one way or another so as to cast a shadow, whether it be stairs, or steps, or a half hemisphere-like a bowl with a gnomon, or an equatorial sundial facing due north, or due south, and a center gnomon that casts a shadow. They all do pretty much the same thing, and work on similar principles, but with slightly different designs.
The world's oldest known sundial:
Egypt, Valley of the Kings, circa 1500 BCE

This is the good and delightful end to this thread for me, (lol), even if it never fully rotates upon its axis and circles back around to these critically important clues. :chuckle:
