🔎Curious Facts CONTEST#8: THE BIBLE ALREADY SAID THAT THE EARTH IS CIRCLE!
Before somebody knows or proved that the earth is round.
It is already been said in the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 40:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
The Messages (MSG)
22 God sits high above the round ball of earth.
The people look like mere ants.
He stretches out the skies like a canvas—
yes, like a tent canvas to live under.
Ferdinand Magellan proved that the earth is round in the 15th century.

Let's pretend circle means sphere. What does it tell us? Whoever wrote this verse was convinced that the earth was a sphere. Is that remarkable? Not really, because he wasn't the only one and he couldn't prove it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes :
The book of Isaiah the verse that tells us that the earth is round circle or sphere is a prophecy.
Before somebody proves us that the earth is round circle or sphere, it is already written in the Bible.
WiKi? = What I know Is?
It's not a prophecy, because other people already knew/ guessed it (e.g. Plato). In the 15th century (almost) nobody believed in a flat earth. If wiki isn't reputable enough for you: https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF00387726
So plato and even magellan in 15th century?
So when do you think the book of Isaiah written?
the book of Isaiah was written a long time ago. You can search it. It's B.C.
When do you think Plato was born? You can search it. It's 428 BCE. My point was that Magellan didn't need to prove anything, because everyone was already convinced.
Okay, just calculate the year BCE of Isaiah and plato :)
That's not possible, because we don't know exactly when it was written.
No, that's possible. There's a research when the book of Isaiah was written and even plato.
