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

God is able to block Sunlight, like the 3 hours Jesus was 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.
