Proof That The Earth And The Moon Are Spheres!
If you take a telescope and look up at the planets and their moons, you will see that almost all of them are spherical or ovoid in shape, and they are revolving in space. Our own Moon, with its many phases is an obvious, unavoidable and roughly spherical testament to the overall spherical shape of most celestial bodies. This can be seen quite clearly in this time-lapsed photo of a Total Lunar Eclipse from the vantage point of Dallas, Texas. This is of the last Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad on Jewish Feasts which occurred over the USA on the Feast of Tabernacles on September 28th, 2015:

How To Disprove The Flat Earth
Above this paragraph, I've linked to an article that disproves the Flat Earth theory based on observation and science. It reminded me that, during the days when I had access to a high powered telescope, it had a motorized mount used for tracking various celestial bodies. This mount is calibrated to work on the assumption that the Earth is a sphere, and it worked perfectly when given the correct angular coordinates to follow.

Considering what scientific observations have shown modern Astronomers, have you ever run across a Flat Earther on Facebook or YouTube, and wondered what in the world would lead them to believe such a scientifically inaccurate theory? Well, the truth is that the number of modern Flat Earth proponents is growing for some reason in these last days, and I feel it is no doubt due to widespread demonic activity, which is evident in the complete lack of love and respect these Flat Earth proponents show in conversation.
Unfortunately, Flat Earthers act like brain-washed Quasi-Christians that believe in the Geocentric Theory and the Flat Earth Theory of the Earth because passages in the Bible written to describe the behavior of the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, and various miraculous events that God used to shorten or lengthen the Earth's day to achieve His will could suggest this to someone unfamiliar with Astronomy.
Although observations of the Earth's Moon and our Solar System done with a telescope basically disprove all of their theories, Flat Earthers have a cult mentality, and their behavior is decidedly Antichristian and ungodly toward those who disagree with them because of this. I know this because some of these Flat Earth proponents have befriended me on Facebook just to argue with me. Furthermore, they would become especially vile toward me whenever I posted something related to Astronomy, or the Gospel in the Stars that disproved them, and they were completely unwilling to listen to me when I refused to give their theories any credence, and attempted to show them proof that they are wrong. That is why I have written this article. It is meant to be a tool to share with any Flat Earth or Geocentric Theory proponents I run across in the future, and I am sharing it in hopes that it will help others dealing with these same types of brainwashed individuals
As a Sacred Astronomer, I am familiar with Sidereal Astrology, which determines the movements of the planets, Sun and Moon by direct visual observation, or with the use of binoculars and/or a telescope. Telescopes can be costly, but anyone that has had the privilege of looking through one like I have will soon discover that planets like Mars, Jupiter, Venus and their moons appear to be mostly round in shape, and they are shaded like a ball or sphere from the shadows cast on them by the Sun.

Sadly, the fact that Flat Earth proponents pose as Christians, but clearly are not, makes all those involved in the Flat Earth cult mindset extremely damaging to the cause of Christ. This is because Flat Earthers are bullies and extremists that are driving many already skeptical and lost people away from finding salvation in Christ because of their crazy ideas and refusal to see reason.
Despite the beliefs of these deluded people, the photos used in this article clearly show that the Earth and Moon are spherical in shape. These and other numerous recent photos taken from various unmanned spacecraft and the International Space Station of the Earth show a spherical shape to the Earth's horizon. The curve of the Earth is apparent, and the impression that we are looking at a roughly spherical planet is evident. So anyone who believes in a flat Earth can only do so by ignoring or disbelieving these obvious and unavoidable photographic images and facts.

http://www.planetary.org/multimedia/space-images/earth/20130421_kaguyaearthrise.htmlThe Bible passages that Geocentric Solar System and Flat Earth theorists point to for support are ignoring the fact that, from the perspective of the Earth's surface, it does appear that the Earth is stationary, and that the Sun, Moon, planets and stars are revolving around the Earth. This is why most of mankind believed that the Earth was flat or concave like the back of a tortoise shell for thousands of years. However, modern photographic imagery like the ones shown here are clear evidence that the theory that the Sun, Moon and Planets revolve around the Earth, and/or that the Earth is flat are incorrect.

Many of the Geocentric Universe and Flat Earth theorists that I have come across also like to insinuate that NASA is an occult controlled organization, so they refuse to trust anything that NASA puts forth as the truth. However, they refuse to admit that NASA is a not a religious organization, but a truly scientific one dedicated to sharing the truth just as an atheist would see it. Although, just like the rest of this wicked world, NASA does have an Antichristian agenda by default because they discredit the existence of God and His act of creating the Universe, they were NOT founded for Satanic purposes. Nonetheless, to quiet the naysayers, I've made an effort to share some images that are not taken from the NASA spacecraft photo archives, but by other space exploration agencies around the world. Please read the captions on the photos to see where, when and by whom they were taken.
But beyond the photos taken from space and the International Space Station (ISS) that disprove the Flat Earth Theory, there is also the science behind the ISS, and the charts used to track its whereabouts based on its trajectory around the Earth. All of these charts are based on the time it takes for the ISS to circle around a globe, not a flat disk. Here is the title and link to an excellent and detailed forum page using the science behind the ISS to debunk the Flat Earth Theory, and despite it's title, there's much scientific information there besides the photos:
Space Station Photos Disprove the "Flat Earth" Theory
Instead of being kind and respectful, Flat Earth theorists and Geocentrists often use insults, put-downs, accusations, and foul language to drive their critics away. They also like to take arguments that are given and call them attacks when they are simply factual statements supporting an alternative view. But the evidence shown in the collection of photos in this article are undeniably clear: Our Earth and Moon are roughly spherical in shape.
As for the fact that the Earth and Moon heliocentrically revolve around the Sun, and not vise versa as Geocentrists claim, this can be proven from a spiritual standpoint when the Sun is identified as the symbol for God the Father and Yahshua or Jesus. As Biblical proof that this is the case, God's Preincarnate Son was called the Sun of Righteousness in Malachi 4:2. This makes much sense spiritually and scientifically since the Sun gives life-giving light and warmth to plants so that they can produce food via photosynthesis, and thus supply virtually all the living things on this Earth with food to eat.
This is in mimicry of how God has designed all of His Creation to reflect His Spiritual Light and Wisdom, and to feed the soul and spirit of every God-ordained creature that lives on the face of the Earth, especially the souls and spirits of mankind. Since God the Father is indeed the center of any Christian or Jewish spiritual universe, it follows that His Sun symbol in outer space is also the center of our Solar System.
As I show in the first book of my Language of God Book Series that is called The Language of God in the Universe, the other planets and minor planets in our Solar System are connected to the Twelve Major Signs of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac, and therefore to the Twelve Apostles and the spiritual heads of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

I just "ran into" some flat-earthers myself. Unbelievable that people would claim this nonsense in the name of Jesus. I directed them to this article. Thanks for your work, Helena!
ReplyDeleteDude all those photos are photo shopped so enjoy spreading your false awareness, you must not have read the bible, the book of enoch, jasher, or jubilee..
ReplyDeleteI'm not a "dude". I'm a lady, and I have indeed read the Book of Jasher, the Book of Jubilees, 1 Enoch and a host of other ancient religious texts, which I wrote about extensively in my "Language of God Book Series". You ought to read them. They're very intellectually and spiritually stimulating.
DeleteI am also a trained Astronomer who has viewed the heavenly bodies through a high-powered telescope, and can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Sun, the stars (which are distant suns) and all the other planets, moons, and other single celestial bodies in our Solar System and beyond it are roughly round AND spherical in shape.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to debunk the Flat Earth theory. It just takes the power of human observation, a good telescope, and some simple common sense. Using a telescope, it also becomes quite clear that none of these photos of our Earth and Solar System were doctored or altered in any way. God bless.
You don't believe NASA's images are altered in any way? Well you may be a trained astronomer, but you know nothing about film/digital picture forensics and analysis. I DO, however. I've run countless NASA "photos" through multitudes of forensical analysis parameters, which are completely non-biased in their results. Nearly every image bears the telltale signatures of cut/paste/computer generated animation. Like I said - NON BIASED RESULTS. And very accurate. You can disbelieve until the wheels come off, but it doesn't change the reality. I'd also like to add that forensic results are not open to differing interpretation or speculation. It's a very matter of fact cut and dry field.The results are what they are.
ReplyDeleteHi there "Anonymous". This is Helena Lehman. I am a Bible Scholar and Prayer Warrior, the author of this blog and article, and I love Yahshua my Messiah and do His Will. He has put me in the position I am in to challenge the blind. You can try to debunk the photos as scams, but you can't deny the SCIENCE unless you want to remain willfully ignorant, which so many who hold fast to the Flat Earth theory want to do. I happen to have viewed many stars, moons and planets in a high-powered telescope, and the objects I have seen in space through a telescope lens appear round and shadowed as only spherical objects can be. That's partly why I'm planning to post another article against the Flat Earth Theory again soon. May our loving Father God bless you with more of His WISDOM in the meantime.
DeleteAnonymous, this is Helena Lehman, and I wanted to add something else for you to consider, along with my previous reply. This is the fact that I have read captions under the photos shown in many NASA articles, and they often mention that they use several different pieces of equipment that they have launched into interstellar space to create accurate digitalized images to use on their website. So it's not a secret that is images are often layered and combined from a series of different images. I don't see that as dishonest in any way because I understand how two dimensional graphics must be created to picture a three-dimensional object in any kind of space, not just outer space.
DeleteYou see, I have a long and varied background in art and perspective drawing because I studied architectural drafting along with fine art and painting. This gives me a very good idea of how to picture something in a three-dimensional space even though I'm using a two-dimensional medium to do so. A photograph is a two-dimensional object. So to give it depth, some layering, highlighting, shadowing and distortion are often required.
