SHADOW MYSTERY?

STRANGEST THINGS OF THE BIBLE

Isaiah the prophet visits King Hezekiah, telling him he is going to die soon.

"In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”  Isaiah 38:1 NIV

Hezekiah wept and prayed.

"Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and

prayed to the Lord, “Remember, Lord, how I

have walked before you faithfully and with

wholehearted devotion and have done what is

good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah

wept bitterly.  Isaiah 38:2-3  NIV

GOD spoke to Isaiah the prophet a word telling

him that he would live 15 more years.

"Then the word of the Lord came to

Isaiah:  “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what

the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I

have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I

will add fifteen years to your life.  And I will

deliver you and this city from the hand of the

king of Assyria. I will defend this city.   

Isaiah 38:4-6  NIV

GOD's sign to Hezekiah that he his going to

fulfill His promise of extending his life and

protecting him from Assyrisa; will be moving

the Sun's shadow backwards.

  

“‘This is the Lord’s sign to you that

the Lord will do what he has promised:  I will

make the shadow cast by the sun go back the

ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of

Ahaz.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps

it had gone down.  Isaiah 38:7-8  NIV  New International Version

GOD is able to do this miracle any way he

wants.  It says that GOD moved sunlight and

created a shadow ten steps back.

While stopping the earth and moving it

backwards is possible for God; it would cause

a great world wide disaster.  The earth is

spinning 1,000 mph and a sudden stop would

cause earthquakes, tsunamis and wind storms.

And it is possible for God to move the Sun too;

but this would shake up our solar system.  All

the planets would be effected by the sudden

change in the Sun's gravitational position. 

Comets and asteroid would be moved too.

GOD IS LIGHT  

1 John 1:5 NASB

If God is able to block Sunlight, like the 3

hours when Jesus hung on the cross, the

entire earth was in darkness.

God is able to create his own light too;

replacing Sunlight, and making it appear the

shadow is moving 10 steps back.
