God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the
called.
Subject: NASA & THE BIBLE WHAT COMES AROUND GOES
AROUND
Thought this was pretty amazing and interesting!!
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 Green Belt,
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 out..
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 finally 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 i s 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 he was not
going to die. Hezekiah a sked f or 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.
Forward this to as many people who you believe would
think this is equally
as cool.
If God could do this then; how much more can he do for
us today. If we ONLY
believe in his word.
Never be afraid to try something new, like trust in a
Power that is greater
than ourselves.
