"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." This could only happen on a
flat earth. 1:7
Jesus holds seven stars in his hand. Of course, it is possible that this is metaphorical.
Perhaps. But it is clear from other verses (6:13, 8:10,
12:4) that John thought of stars as being small, perhaps even small enough for Jesus to hold in his hand.
1:16
"Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." God created predators,
pathogens, and predators for his very own pleasure. One of his favorite species is
guinea worms. 4:11
The sixth seal is opened and there is a great earthquake, the sun becomes black, and the moon red,
the stars fall from heaven, and mountains and islands move around. 6:12-14
"And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth...." To John, the stars are just little lights a few miles away that can
easily fall to the earth. 6:13
John "saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth." Well, I guess that settles it: the earth is flat and
square-shaped, or at least quadrilateral in shape. 7:1
An angel threw the censer down to earth, causing thunder, lightning, and earthquakes.
8:5
"And there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers,
and upon the fountains of waters." In the bible, stars are just little lights that can fall to the
ground from the sky. 8:10
The fourth trumpet smites one third of the sun, moon, and stars. 8:12
"I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth." 9:1
God's witnesses have special powers. They can shut up heaven so that it cannot rain, turn rivers
into blood, and smite the earth with plagues "as often as they will." 11:6
"The great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified"
What city is referred to here? Is Jerusalem spiritually called Sodom and Egypt? Rome, maybe? Salt Lake City? 11:8
"There were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." 11:19
The dragon's tail smacks down to earth one third of the stars. To the author of Revelation,
the stars are just little lights that can fall to the ground from the sky. 12:4
The seventh vial: voices, thunders, lightnings, earthquakes, hail. 16:17-21
"And there was no more sea."
For an old sailor like me, this verse, if it were true, would
be one of the saddest verses in the bible. 21:1
