The Story of Man - The Decline of Judah - Basil Wolverton - March 1971

Basil Wolverton

HEZEKIAH, ailing king of Judah, was speechless to see the shadow of his giant sundial gnomon moving backward at a rapid rate. Whether or not the king realized it, it required a most awesome situation to cause such an unusual sight - a sudden reversal in the earth's direction of rotation! But it was no more difficult for God to alter the earth's rotation temporarily than for a pilot to stop a modern jet that travels hundreds of miles per hour. The surface of the earth travels about 1000 miles an hour around its axis. So it need not have taken more than several minutes to slow down the earth, reverse rotation and then start it going again as before. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
