12 On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said,
“Let the sun stand still over Gibeon,
and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”
and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.
Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar[b]? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day.[c] 14 There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the Lord answered such a prayer. Surely the Lord fought for Israel that day!
15 Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their camp at Gilgal. Joshua 10:12-15
Did the sun stand still or did the earth quit spinning?
Did you read right through and just kept reading the rest of today’s versus or did you stop and think “Did this really happen?”
I wondered and I started searching and first came upon this following links. I don’t know how much of it is accurate but it does give us something to think about.
Be still my sun <--------- follow link
Stop the moon <---------------- follow this link.
As The World Turns...backwards! <-------------- follow this link too!
I literally would need a longer day just to read the information contained in those 3 links!
So what about you? Do you believe this event occurred?
Why don’t we see God doing things like this today?
I would welcome any comments.
