> >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?

Never be afraid to try something new.
