The Bible Scientific - Isaiah 40:22
“The Bible Scientific” is my current blog series. Each post will examine a verse or two directly from Scripture and try to explain that Biblical quote from a scientific perspective.
It is often stated that the Bible and Science are not compatible, that the Bible is not a scientific text and that you can not believe the Bible and also believe science. I think this is short sighted as there are a number of places in Scripture where scientific facts were stated even before man understood them. The Bible is not a scientific text in that it is not meant to be the full explanation of scientific fact, but it does direct us to understand the nature of God scientifically as well as spiritually. It complements science. God uses His Word to help us understand Him and His creation with our mind, soul and spirit.
Galileo Galilei said:
Moving on to Isaiah to look at the Earth.
This verse has two parts but today we will just consider the first part – “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers.”
We have discussed the second part already, that the heavens are stretched out like a tent, most notably in Psalm 104:2
to go beyond the command of the LORD my God.
– Numbers 18:22b (NIV)
Even this first part can be divided into two. The first half talks of God existing in the heavens (above the earth, inside and outside of the universe), and the second part – “its people are like grasshoppers.” – pointing to the vastness of space and the majesty of God, as well as the smallness of man and his numbers.
This verse proclaims the Earth as round (a sphere) as opposed to flat. The Hebrew word “chuwg” means circle or sphere. The timing of the authorship of this verse is between the 6th and 8th centuries BC whereas the scientific proclamation that the earth is a sphere was not until the 3rd century BC, although it was thought to possibly be a sphere dating from the 6th century BC.
Another verse also points to the earth as a sphere:
Now lets look at the second part of this verse, “its people are like grasshoppers.” This part looks at the insignificance of man in comparison to God. But we know that despite the seeming insignificance of man, God loves us and created us for a purpose. We see this in Romans.
Thank you LORD for loving us!
