Flat Earth conspiracy theorists claim to be so Biblical, even though their conspiracy theory comes from New Age and pseudoscience YouTube videos. They are so caught up in YouTube that they miss what the Bible says about the Earth.
Jeremiah 6:22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
The “circle of the earth” has a “north” and “sides”. A circle with sides would have to be a globe. Flat Earthers believe the Earth is a flat disc with an ice wall and dome over it, no people could come from the “sides” of their Earth model.
By my count the word “flat” is only used 4 times in the Bible and none of those references are to the shape of the Earth. I understand that word “globe” is not in the Bible, but other terminology in the Bible references a round Earth. We see that in Jonah 2:5-6 “the deep” and the “earth and her bars” was “ROUND about” Jonah. Per Jonah 2:1-4, he was in “hell”. Ezekiel 31:16-17, 32:18, and 32:24 shows that hell is in the “nether parts of the earth”, or the “heart of the earth” as Christ said (Matt. 12:40). So if someone like Jonah is in the “heart”of the Earth, with the Earth “ROUND about” them, that sounds like a round Earth. Or in modern terms, a “globe” Earth.
