Earth: Our Home: Facts You May Not Know

Tweet

Because of space travel, the Earth has been seen and photographed from space. Before that, some have thought erroneously, that no one really knew that the Earth was "round" or that it hung in space, unsupported by anything. Now, because the Earth has been seen from outer space, we know that it is a bluish planet swirled about with white clouds. But really, there was someone who knew ALL ABOUT the Earth, long before man went into space. In the book of Job, the Bible describes the Earth this way: "He (God) stretches out the northern sky over empty space, suspending the Earth upon nothing. Job 26:7 Approximately, those words were written way back in 1473 B.C.E. And Isaiah wrote: "There is One (God) who dwells above the CIRCLE of the Earth. And it's inhabitants are like grasshoppers. He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze." Astronomers agree that the Universe is like gauze. They agree with this description. The book of Isaiah was written around 732 B.C.E Earth is the only planet known to support life and this is a result of it's unique placement in the solar system. Scientists say that Earth is 93 million miles away from the sun and at that distance, it receives just the right amount of heat to ensure one vital ingredient for life to exist on the Earth. And what is that? WATER. It is a well-known fact that if the Earth were closer to the sun, it would be a dry hot landscape similar to Venus, the second planet from the sun. If the Earth were farther away, like Mars, the oceans and rivers would freeze. Do you think that this is an accident that the Earth was placed in the exact right spot? The Bible explains again at Psalms 115:16 "As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, but the Earth, HE has given to the sons of men." Isaiah 45:18 says: "The Creator of the heavens, the true God, the One who formed the Earth, it's Maker, who firmly established it. Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited..." And Psalm 104 should be read in it's entirety...for it says many things about how and why God established the Earth. It says: "HE (God) has established the Earth on its foundations. It will not be moved from its place, forever and ever. You covered it with deep waters..." If you read on through this chapter, it is very eye-opening. I hope you will read it all and understand why the Earth exists. You can read the Bible in your own language at this web site.
