Scripture on Flat Earth
Isaiah 40:22

"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."
Job 26:7
Old Testament
"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing."
Proverbs 8:27

Luke 17:34-36
New Testament
"I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left."
Daniel 4:10-11
Old Testament
"These are the visions I saw while lying in bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous. The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the whole earth."
The Bottom Line
God's Word focuses on His power over creation, not scientific details—He calls us to trust His character, not debate cosmology.
Try Today
Spend time in creation today—whether looking at stars or feeling soil—and worship the God who made it all.
Prayer
Jesus taught us to approach the Father with confidence (Hebrews 4:16).
Father, You are the Creator of all things, seen and unseen. Sometimes we get distracted by debates that divide rather than focusing on Your majesty that unites. Help us marvel at Your creation while keeping our eyes fixed on You. Give us wisdom to seek truth in humility and love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
