Unmovable Earth pt 2 - Ancient Evidence
How did the ancients know the earth was flat?
————
All ancient cultures on earth believed in some form of a flat earth. Whether it be suspended by trees or within a cosmic egg, it was always flat. Where did they get this idea from? Is this just a coincidence? Most will show their arrogance and say "they were ignorant" or "they did not have the technology we do now." They had God, didn't they? Since when is man-made technology our primary source for knowledge? Are machines made by our hands and our imagination somehow greater than God?
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- Proverbs 1:7
Adam and Eve had direct communication with God, as God was with them in the garden. This communication was different from what we have now, as God was physically there with them, with Adam and Eve able to see Him and hear His words. Adam gave a name to every animal (Gen 2:19-20), he was obviously a smart man. Is it such a wild theory to suggest Adam may have asked God about the shape of the very thing he was made out of? Is it crazy to think Adam asked God what he was standing on?
Flat Earth is ancient because it came from God. As the flat earth is revealed through the scriptures, I believe this truth was revealed to Adam in the garden. If Adam was told he lived on a planet in a random location in an infinite universe, don't you think he would've told somebody? His children perhaps?
To believe the ancients were ignorant is silly. Who do you think penned the scriptures? Are the scriptures ignorant too? My final authority is God, not the wisdom of men.
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
- I Corinthians 2:5
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called.
- I Timothy 6:20
... We ought to obey God rather than men.
- Acts 5:29
"Scientists" are ignorant. The are bought off tools of the antichrist who deny our Lord and are filled with the most arrogance and pride. Truth seeking men are labeled as conspiracy theorists without standing because they do not fit the narrative.
Stand fast in the faith, giving no room for deceit and lies.
God Bless.

Unmovable Earth pt 3 - The Shape
Scripture proves the earth is not rotating. Is it still a sphere though?
————
Short answer:
No
Long answer:
The realm is established upon pillars (II Sam 2:8) and cannot be moved (Ps 93:1).
The heliocentric model doesn't make sense when talking about the tower of Babel (Gen 11), Jacobs ladder (Gen 28:12), stars falling form heaven (Rev 12:4), the tree that reached heaven (Dan 4:11), Satan showing Christ all the kingdoms of the world (Mat 4:8-9), Christ ascending upward (Lk 24:50-51).
The earth is flat.

What does the world look like? Look at the moon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxv1p87WtmM&t=170s
The moon is plasma, somehow someway stuck with the shadowy image of what the earth once looked like.
Its image reminds me of the shadows burned into the sidewalks and walls in Hiroshima after dropping the atomic bombs.
This is the oldest map we could ever have, given to us by either a natural event created by the Lord YHWH or caused by mans hands during some ancient explosion. The flood maybe? Does the sun have anything to do with it? Did something happen with the sun that burned the earth into the moon, or was it caused by a massive nuclear explosion? Nevertheless, the image is there and we inhabit only a portion.
What else is out there? We may never truly know until we get to heaven.

Flipped Moon Transition to World Map
The moon is a focused electromagnetic phenomenon, called plasma. Cosmic electromagnetic energy comes below from the flat and stationary plane, going above. The inner reflection of this electromagnetic energy on this field's ceiling, turns it back down…

I Enoch
You've all been waiting for this, here it is.
————
The Book of Enoch, or I Enoch has interested people for generations. The Church Fathers referenced a book of Enoch often, but nobody really knew what the book was or where to find it. It seemed to be lost forever.
First revealed to the public by the Ethiopian Church, scholars thought the book to have little to no legitimacy. Some however, believed it to be a copy of an older Greek manuscript.
In 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were uncovered, and the Book of Enoch was found. This version is the oldest one to date. Because of its place in the DSS it can be assumed it was part of Solomon's Temple Library.
Since then, Greek and Latin fragments have been found that predate the Ethiopic version. Because of older fragments were found later on, the older translations of the book lack due to less resources.
The Book of Enoch is directly quoted from in Deuteronomy 33:2 (I Enoch 1:3-4) and Jude 1:14-15 (I Enoch 1:9). Many times in the New Testament we see references and allusions to I Enoch. The Epistle of Barnabas lists this book alongside 2 Esdras as canonical. The word of God quoted from I Enoch as if it was history... Just think about that for a moment.
Here is a link to most (not all) references from the New Testament:
http://alaskandreams.net/ekklesia/Book%20of%20Enoch%20NT%20Verses.htm
The Book of Enoch does not conflict scripture, it actually supports many ideas found within the Bible such as Genesis 6:4 & Hebrews 11:5-6.
Many say this is a Gnostic work but because it is found in the DSS that theory is blown out of the water.
Many have argued the reason I Enoch is not in our Bibles is because of its description of Christ, directly calling Him the Son of Man. Because of this, Pharisees and other religious elite threw it away. This could be the case, but God would not allow something like that to happen if it was Isaiah or Matthew. There must be a reason God allowed it to be separated from the bunch and yet still preserved it after all this time.
I think the biggest piece of evidence behind why it has been kept secret for so long is in the book itself (from the Ethiopic version):
The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation...
- I Enoch 1:1-2
It should be noted the only reason why it is called first Enoch is to distinguish it from other books claiming to be written by or about Enoch but this does not mean they are connected or have the same legitimacy.
The book of Enoch should be looked at as a secondary source to the Bible along with books like Jasher and 2 Esdras that do not conflict with the Bible but still should be left out of the canon. The books add context and compliment essential Bible doctrine. There is a tier list of "spiritual authority" in the making...

The Sun and Moon
What are the sun and moon according to the Biblical model of the universe?
————
And God made two great lights; the greater light (the sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night...
- Genesis 1:16
...and the moon give her light...
- II Esdras 6:45
The course of the moon's path to the righteous is light, but to sinners it is darkness... He showed me the power of the moon's light...
- I Enoch 41:6; 59:5
These two luminaries (the sun and moon), whose orbs are the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal.
- I Enoch 77:3
Both the sun and moon are orbs of plasma that give off their own light, and are the same size. The light from the sun is warm, while the light from the moon is cold.
According to 1 Enoch 77:1-2 the sun and moon go by different names.
The sun goes by Aryares and Tomas
The moon goes by Asonya, Ebla, Benase, and Erae
Aryares in the Hebrew is uncertain, but is speculated to mean "golden sunrise" and is very reminiscent of the word Aryan, which means "honorable; nobile; of good family."
Tomas in the Hebrew means "twin." The divine twins of ancient Aryan mythology come to mind.
Both of these names are masculine in nature.
Asonya in Hebrew means "gift of God."
Ebla in Hebrew means "black" or "dark." Could be describing the night or the new moon.
Benase in Hebrew means "pale; blonde; white." Could be a reference to the full moon. Again, the Aryans come to mind.
Eraea in Hebrew means "red/brown." Probably a reference to a blood moon.
These four names are feminine.
————
The sun and moon are used as time instruments to calculate seasons, holidays, weeks, months, ect.
Ancient Israelites and the Essenes used the moon to calculate holidays and Sabbaths, a practice completely abandoned by the Pharisee and Sadducee. When using the moon to calculate Sabbaths, they don't always occur on our Saturday or Sunday, as they could land on really any day of the week. Jews, using their corrupt calendar system, always put the Sabbath on Saturday. Christians use Sunday as a reminder of the eternal Sabbath found in Christ.
In scripture the sun is used as an example of the Lord's glory, probably on account of its brightness and life-giving abilities.
During that great Day of the Lord, the sun will be darkened and the moon will be turned to blood. The sun was completely darkened when Yeshua Christ was upon the cross and will be darkened again.
The sun and moon could be looked at as twins, representing eternal opposites. Male and female, hot and cold, light and dark, constant and changing.
With this in mindset it is no wonder the sun was stopped over the battlefield in the book of Joshua, as its masculine energy was needed.
The moon being feminine and turning to blood makes sense as well, as it will be great pain and suffering for the unsaved during that great Day.
————
The idea the moon has the map of the old world may not be backed by scripture, but may have ties to a disturbance of the sun that dates around the time of Noah's flood.
A man named George Dodwell used data form modern and ancient astronomers of the path the sun took. His studies seem to suggest the suns path is "recovering" from an unknown event, possibly the deluge or an event prior. This event could be the same thing that caused that image to be burned onto the moon... We can only speculate what this event could've been. I already have some ideas and answers, but I will continue to study the scriptures for answers.

Apocryphal Books
II Enoch
Also known as the Secrets of Enoch or the Slavonic Book of Enoch is indeed very mysterious. Lets dive in.
————
Only about twenty or so manuscripts and fragments of II Enoch have survived, with most of them being in Slavonic that date to around the 14th to 18th century. The only entire manuscript of II Enoch was found in the late 1800s and published in Slavonic by a man named M. Sokolov. This translation however was not finished due to the translators early death. The full manuscript was completely destroyed in WWII during the bombing of Belgrado National Library.
In 2009 four fragments from chapters 36–42 were found in Egypt that were written in Coptic. These Coptic fragments are dated to some time before the 11th century.
There is a lot of evidence the Slavonic texts were translated form a much earlier Greek manuscript, R. H. Charles in 1896 placed this unknown Greek text sometime before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70.AD, possibly before the birth of Christ around 3.BCE.
Words used in II Enoch like Ophanim, Raqia Arabot, and others have Semitic origin, leading people to believe there was once a Hebrew or Aramaic version out there but is now long gone.
The book has signs of multiple translations and possibly some later additions. Two distinct styles have been found: a shorter and longer. The Coptic and about half of the Slavonic fragments are from the shorter version, while the other Slavonic texts are form the longer.
Certain theology within the book conflicts with the Bible. For example on the fifth level of heaven, giants wait and wander in a state of limbo. Enoch talks to one of the giants and convinces him to repent, which then sends him up to heave. Obviously this cannot be true, as 1. Limbo or purgatory can be disproven with the Bible and 2. Giants do not go to heaven, as seen in I Enoch.
There are some problems with this and others, but the main ideas stand still: the idea of seven heavens from Talmudic and Islamic literature is detested. The cosmological discerptions of the firmament, stars, the eath, ect all agree with or complement the Bible and what is found within the Dead Sea Scrolls.
There are other stories in there as well, covering things such as the angels of "Satanail" and the seduction of Eva (Eve), as well as God giving Enoch his new body.
————
Conclusion:
II Enoch is a blank filler, meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Because of its translations and additions, it is safe to say in its current state it is not inspired. I believe there is some truth found within the book, and much of it compliments already established Biblical history. Whatever can be disproven with texts that have a higher authority can be ignored completely, while the other ideas could be used to fill in the blanks.
In my opinion this book is at the same level as the Book of Jubilees; it conflicts with secondary sources in some areas but tell truthful history in others.

Spiritual Authority
Intro and Overview
What do I mean by Spiritual Authority?
--------
Certain canonical and non-canonical books have spiritual authority over others when talking about their spiritual, physical and, historical truths.
If two books disagree with one another, which is right?
How did things actually pan out?
In comes Spiritual Authority.
For example: both Jasher and Jubilees were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but they disagree with each other in certain areas, e.g. how Cain died.
Which do we trust?
The Book of Jasher is actually referenced in the Bible. Does this mean Jasher should be in the Bible? No. This means Jasher has authority over Jubilees. Get the picture?
Some apocryphal texts have truth, some are only folklore and others are complete lies. For example, the 1 & 2 Books of Adam and Eve vs the Gnostic book Hypostasis of the Archons.
The former is historical fiction/folklore while the latter is a flat out fabrication and lie.
Some people do not know what to believe and others believe everything they read.This is why we need a solid Spiritual Authority chart and ranking system, solely for the pursuit of spiritual, physical, and historical truths, so we may sanctify truth and expose falsehoods.
The Catholic and Orthodox churches already do this to some extent, but in my opinion are flawed because they completely ignore books and/or have some exterior agenda behind it.
New books and translations come out all the time, so this chart must be always adding and comparing books that claim to be God's word or labeled as apocryphal. We must look at the background of all these books and have a solid understanding of what is within the books.
Until this chart is made, please be careful what you read and how you perceive it.

Here are 3 tests that pretty quickly eliminate almost, if not all, modern bible versions
1. Does Jesus tell a lie in John 7:8-10? We know Jesus never lied, so why would you use a Bible that says He did?
2. Does Hebrews 3:16 say that everyone that Moses led out of Egypt provoked God? We know this isn’t true because Joshua and Caleb remained faithful.
3. Who is credited with the OT quote in Mark 1:2? If it’s only Isaiah, then this is incorrect, since the first part of the quotation is found in Malachi, and not Isaiah.
