EDITOR’S NOTE: The following story is an interesting read,
but I have not verified that it is completely true, so read with caution.
For all the scientists
out there, and for all the students who have a hard time convincing these
people regarding the truth of the Bible, here's something that shows God's
awesome creation, and that He is still in control.
Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called
"myth" in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis
Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland, and a consultant in the space program,
relates the following development.
"I think one of
the most amazing things that God has done for us today happened recently to our
astronauts and space scientists at GreenBelt, Maryland. They were checking out
where the positions of the sun, moon, and planets would be 100 years and 1,000
years from now. We have to know this so we won't send up a satellite and have
it bump into something later on in its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in
terms of the life of the satellite and where the planets will be so the whole
thing will not bog down. They ran the computer measurement back and forth over
the centuries, and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red
signal, which meant that there was something wrong with either the information
fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in
the service department to check it out, and they said, 'What's wrong?' Well,
they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They scratched
their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer.
”Finally a Christian man on the team said, 'You know, one time I was in Sunday
School, and they talked about the sun standing still.' While they didn't
believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, 'Show us.'
”He got a Bible and went to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous
statement for any one with 'common sense.' There they found the Lord saying to
Joshua, 'Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not
a man of them stand before thee.' Joshua was concerned because he was
surrounded by the enemy, and if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So
Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still!
”That's right...'The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to
go down about a whole day!' (Joshua 10:12-13)
”The astronauts and
scientists said, ‘There is the missing day!' They checked the computers going
back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough.
The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20
minutes... not a whole day. They read the Bible, and there it was 'about
(approximately) a day.' These little words in the Bible are important, but
they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes, you'll
still be in trouble 1000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because
it can be multiplied many times over in orbits.
"As the Christian
employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it
said the sun went BACKWARDS.
“The scientists told him he was
out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings that
told of the following story: Hezekiah, on his death bed, was visited by the
prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a
sign as proof. Isaiah said 'Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?'
Hezekiah said, 'It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but
let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and
the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly
40 minutes!
”Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings
make the missing day in the universe!"
Isn't it amazing?
References: Joshua 10:8 and 12-13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.
