Interpretation of Flat Earth Bible Verses
Flat Earth is typically attributed to certain Bible verses as asserted by Flat Earth proponents.
Often when these verses are quoted, people who hear them simply don’t have the time to search them all out.
So, we have assembled some resources for you so that you can decide for yourself the meaning of these verses.
We clipped the images shown below from two prominent Flat Earth maps that included some supporting Bible verses.
Biblical Interpretation has always been the major point of contention when it comes to Biblical and religious matters.
To help overcome that, we have linked each verse quoted below to a side-by-side verse-comparison-list that includes verses that have been extracted from many different Bible versions.
This will allow you to see the critical differences in versions.
The book “
Understand The Bible - The Bible How-To Manual AND The Things We Don’t See” offers a great deal more information on the Bible’s origin, assembly, and purpose.
The Bible version you choose to get your information from will greatly impact your conclusions on all matters pertaining to the Bible and even Science. Older Bible versions are far less influenced by contemporary thought.

Summary of Lesson 12
This is the last lesson in our “
Analysis of Flat Earth” series.
Most commentary on the Flat Earth subject is either pro or con, often telling you what to believe.
Our goal in these lessons is for you to gather and understand the information, and then accurately draw your own conclusions.
After reviewing this lesson and considering the information regarding Bible translations or versions, what have you decided regarding the chosen versions used on the bottom of the maps mentioned above?
Are the Flat Earth verses consistent through all versions?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions on these matters, but there is only one reality—one Truth.
In a choice between Flat Earth theory, or Globe Earth theory, which theory have you found to be the most consistently accurate to your real-world experiences?
Do you feel you can make your case to others based upon your experiment results from these 12 lessons and/or the information you found in the lessons,
or must you rely only upon something that you want to believe, rather than what your eyes have seen?
There are two books the we highly recommend. The first is “
The Science Of God Volume 1 - The First Four Days” from the
5 Volume The Science Of God Series.
This book is an easy-to-read information packed account of the first four days of the Bible’s creation account.
The second book is “
Understand The Bible - The Bible How-To Manual AND The Things We Don’t See”.
This book cuts to the core of the Bible and clears up many spoken and unspoken misconceptions. It says little about the meaning of the content, and instead reveals many points that few people know, helping to clear the fog when you’re trying to interpret the Bible.
Your choice to find Truth is your most important task that you will ever experience in life—Choose well!
Blessings of Understanding!
