Fao: catholics and christians, what does " the ends of the earth" mean?

[llll]

So I was reading proverbs chapter 30 verse 4.... and I noticed there was a line about the "ends of the earth"

This confused me so I googled it, and it brought me to another verse in isiah with a line about "the four corners Of the earth"

Can any of you explain this? Because it sounds like whoever wrote the bible didnt know that the earth was round.

I even assumed it might be a translation error so I check different translations and they all say "ends of the earth"

Lmao those General are sayings still used today. Wtf

"the ends of the earth" refers to Nebraska. It's in the Bible, look it up.

In actuality they've been adding things to the Bible that was never originally there in the first place.makes you wonder what's real or not but one thing I do know is is how real the devil is an there's only one god.and no I'm not talking about Morgan Freeman lol though Morgan hair is wool so he could be lol

Isaiah 40:22 refers to the earth as a circle. I think the four corners is just a description to say the entire world, like the furtherst you can go in the four directions north, south, east, west.

Good to see you're reading and thinking about the scriptures.

It was a figure of speech in those days and still a figure of speech to this day. People back then didn't know for sure the earth was round, although the idea was prevalent among greek philosophers and scientists as well as ancient babylonians.

the bible was written by pimps. rarely nothing is literal. pimps talk with metaphors and parables. u gotta decode the sht. bible says don't throw pearls to swine. meaning dont share wisdom with the unworthy. u gotta really dig in to find the meaning. pimp talk. highly spiritual pimps if u will.

In context, it doesnt make sense.


Who has ascended to heaven and then descended?

Who has gathered the wind in the palms of both hands?

Who has wrapped up the waters in his garment?

Who has established all the ends of the earth?

What is his name and the name of his son—if you know?


The earth has no ends because it's a sphere... it sounds like whoever wrote that didnt know the earth was a sphere.
