Proven 
Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called "myth" in the Bible is true?
Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore,
Maryland, and a consultant in the space program, relates the following
development. "I think one of the most amazing things that God has done for
us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at
GreenBelt, Maryland. They were checking out where the positions of the sun,
moon, and planets would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now. We have to
know this so we won't send up a satellite and have it bump into something
later on in its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life
of the satellite and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not
bog down."
They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries, and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong with either the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in the service
department to check it out, and they said, 'What's wrong?' Well, they
found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They scratched their
heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. Finally a Christian man on
the team said, 'You know, one time I was in Sunday School, and they talked
about the sun standing still.' While they didn't believe him, they didn't
have an answer either, so they said, 'Show us.' He got a Bible and went to
the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any
one with 'common sense.'
There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, 'Fear them not, I have delivered
them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.'
Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy, and if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right..'The sun stood still and the moon stayed and
lasted not to go down about a whole day!' (Joshua 10:12-13) The astronauts
and scientists said, 'There is the missing day!' They checked the computers
going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close
enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours
and 20 minutes not a whole day. They read the Bible, and there it was
'about (approximately) a day.' These little words in the Bible are
important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for
40 minutes, you'll still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes
had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits.
As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings
that told of the following story: 'Hezekiah, on his death bed, was visited
by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah
asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said 'Do you want the sun to go ahead 10
degrees?' Hezekiah said, 'It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees,
but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord,
and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is
exactly 40 minutes! Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40
minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it
amazing?
