IS THE FLAT EARTH MAP CORRECT?
Where did the “flat earthers” GET their MAP of the flat earth. They got their flat earth MAP of the Internet! The flat earth map is a COPY of the Gleason’s map of the earth from 1892. Any CIRCULAR map of the earth like the one on the flag of the United Nations is called an A.E. map which it the abbreviation for an Azimuthal Equidistant map of the earth with its CENTER at the north pole.
So what does that mean? What does the Azimuthal Equidistant PROJECTION map of the earth mean? Does it TRULY mean that it is a map of the FLAT earth? Or is it simply a FLAT MAP of the SPHERICAL earth? WHERE did the FLAT earth idea come from? Did the FLAT earth theory come for looking at a FLAT MAP of the FLAT earth? Or did the teaching of the FLAT earth come from looking at a FALT MAP of the REAL GENUINE SPHERICAL earth? Let us find the TRUTH! Here is a quote from Wikipedia DEFININING what Azimuthal Equidistant projection map of the earth TRULY means. The emphasis is mine.
“MATHEMATICA DEFINITION
A point on THE GLOBE is chosen as "the center" in the sense that mapped distances and azimuth directions from that point to any other point will be correct. That point, (φ1, λ0), will project to the center of a circular projection, with φ referring to latitude and λ referring to longitude. All points along a given azimuth will project along a straight line from the center, and the angle θ that the line subtends from the vertical is the azimuth angle. The distance from the center point to another projected point ρ is the arc length along a great circle between them on THE GLOBE. By this description, then, the point on the plane specified by (θ,ρ) will be projected to Cartesian coordinates:”
In other words, the Azimuthal Equidistant map is a PROJECTION of the surface of a SPHERE onto a FLAT PLAIN. To say this another way, the FLAT earth MAP is a DISTORTED but PRACITIACLLY correct map when plotting DIRECT and DISTANCE for the NORTH POLE. But the continents and islands BELOW the equator are moved and DISTORTED on the CIRCULAR FLAT map so that the distances and the direction from the north pole will be PRACTICALLY correct.
Let us look at another quote and some visual pictures of an Azimuthal Equidistant projection map of the earth when the CENTER point is moved to a different location on the earth such a Los Angelos California in the United States of America. You can see that the DISTORTIONS of the actual shape of the continent are very minimal EXCEPT for Africa and Madagascar. What I want you to see and understand is that WHILE the directions and distances on a FLAT map of the earth may be correct for all PRACTICALITY there are indeed DISTORTIONS to the SHAP of the continents. Here is the quote showing the LIMITATION of an Azimuthal Equidistant projection map of the SPHERICAL earth onto a FLAT plain contained within a perfect circular FLAT may of the earth. You will have to click on the link to see the PICTURES. Again, the emphasis is mine.
“LIMITATIONS
With the circumference of the Earth being approximately 40,000 km (24,855 mi), the maximum distance that can be displayed on an azimuthal equidistant projection map is half the circumference, or about 20,000 km (12,427 mi). For distances less than 10,000 km (6,214 mi) distortions are minimal. For distances 10,000–15,000 km (6,214–9,321 mi) the distortions are moderate. Distances greater than 15,000 km (9,321 mi) are severely distorted.
If the azimuthal equidistant projection map is centered about a point whose antipodal point lies on land and the map is extended to the maximum distance of 20,000 km (12,427 mi) the antipode point smears into a large circle. This is shown in the example of two maps centered about Los Angeles, and Taipei. The antipode for Los Angeles is in the south Atlantic Ocean hence there is not much significant distortion of land masses for the Los Angeles centered map except for East Africa and Madagascar. On the other hand, Taipei's antipode is near the Argentina–Paraguay border, causing the Taipei centered map to severely distort South America.”
Now the ANTIPODE of the FLAT EARTHER map is the continent of ANTARCTICA. And that is HWY the CONTINENT of Antarctica is SMEARED around the outside edge of the CIRCULAR FLAT MAP of the SPHERICAL earth. It is NOT a so-called ICE WALL surrounding the so-called FLAT earth. But rather, the IMAGE or FLAT MAP is an Azimuthal Equidistant PROJECTION of the GLOBE of the earth on to a FLAT plain that is contained within a circle.
But the NEWER FLAT maps of the GLOBE of the earth do NOT show as much DISTORTION of the continents like the Azimuthal Equidistant projection FLAT MAP of the GLOBE of the earth. Here is a link to a website that shows pictures of the THREE TYES of the flat maps of the Globe of the earth, including the Azimuthal Equidistant projection map of the SPHERICAL earth. All flattened out maps of the SPHERICAL earth have their drawbacks. That is why we use all of the different types of flat maps of the earth. Some have DIFFERENT advantages of others but they all have some flaws and no ONE flat map of the Globe is perfect.
Now, “flat earthers” argue that the PROJECTION of the Globe to be FLATTEN is NOT the way things happened. They argue that the flat map came first and that the flat map was projected to a spherical shape and placed on the globe to DECEIVE the whole world that the earth is a SPHERE. I am sorry but I find that argument extremely hard to believe. Yes, I agree that ALL maps were FLAT but where you take the FLAT map of ONE continent at a time and project it on a globe where only that one continent can be seen then BOTH the FALT map of that continent and the projected map on the globe match perfectly. BUT where you place ALL the continents on ONE FLAT circular map then some of the continents become DISTORTED and they NO LONGER match the ORIGINAL FLAT map of each individual continent that was mapped by sailing the coastline and drawing the map by observing the coastline. Later when air[lanes came along those maps were IMPROVED. And now with satellite mapping, the map of the GLOBE is as accurate as technologies allow.
Can you not see that the VAULT of the earth does not dogmatically demand that the earth is FLAT. The Hebrew word translated as firmament means the ARCH of heaven that we see looking up into the sky. Now, while the arch we see in the sky may look like a dome it is not a LITERAL hard solid dome covering the FLAT earth. But rather it is a dome around the WHOLE earth. For you see, a dome is a sphere sliced in half.
Imagine a spherical dome with a ball suspended inside and a line is drawn around the spherical dome that represents the equator. Imagine all the stars on the outside of this spherical dome covering the earth. Imagine all the stars circling the spherical dome of the earth. Now, if so be the firmament of the earth is indeed SPHERICAL then you could see ALL the stars circling the earth. And on our real genuine spherical earth, we can indeed see all the visible stars in heaven. BUT we cannot see ALL the stars on the FLAT earth model. In THEORY, you can but in reality, you cannot. In other words, in theory, you could see the NORTH star from Australia on a flat earth. BUT in real life, you can NOT see the NORTH star from Australia.
Please watch these two very short two minute videos and notice that the stars rotate in the OPPOSITE direction in the southern hemiSPHERE that they do in the northern hemiSPHERE. This would be IMPOSSIBLE on the FLAT earth.
Here are links to two videos very short vides on YouTube just 2 minutes long showing of the stars rotating from different cardinal points on EACH of the hemispheres of the earth. And as you can plainly see, the DIFFERENT stars in each hemisphere rotate in the OPPOSITE direction. And that would be IMPOSSIBLE is the earth was flat. Please take less than five minutes to watch BOTH videos.
MOVING STARS OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
MOVING STARS OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
Now again, on the flat earth model, the stars would ALWAYS rotate in the SAME direction no matter WHERE you are on the earth. So the rotation of the STARS rotating in OPPOSITE directions from one hemisphere to the next hemisphere proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that the earth is a SPHERE just like the Bible ITSELF teaches us when you CORRECTLY interpret the Scriptures.
Also, please consider closely that on our REAL GENUINE SPHERICAL earth that the Bible ACTUALLY teaches us, the NORTH star can NOT be seen when you cross into the southern hemiSPHERE. Here is a quote from a website called EARTH SKY that you can check out for yourself. The emphasis is mine.
As you travel northward, Polaris climbs higher in the sky. If you go as far north as the North Pole, you’ll see Polaris directly overhead.
As you travel south, Polaris DROPS closer to the northern horizon.
If you get as far as the equator, Polaris SINKS to the horizon.
South of the equator, Polaris DROPS OUT of the SKY.
And if you do not trust the information then you can do your own research. If you know someone who lives in the southern hemisphere that you trust then you can send them the information on the website that I got this quote and ask them if they can see the BIG DIPPER and the NORTH STAR. Or you can do the experiment yourself if you TRULY desire to know the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God that teaches us that the earth is a SPHERE that HANGS upon NOTHING and fly to Australia and see if you can see the NORTH star. You should be able to if so be the earth is flat.
So then, is NASA and SCIENCE the ones that are lying and DECEIVING Christians? OR is it the Illuminati, the hand behind the UNITED NATIONS pushing for a ONE world government that is NOT prophesied in the Bible. In other words, is the Illuminati responsible for reviving the ancient teaching of the FLAT earth in order o DECEIVE and DIVIDE Christians? Please visit these two websites so you can see with your own eye that the EMBLEM and SEAL of the United Nations in the same image the “flat earthers” use. And after you have clicked on both links to see for yourself that the Illuminati is the hand behind the United Nations then we will continue covering the rest of the verses use to try and prove that the earth is flat.
I want all my readers to CLOSELY consider the following questions? WHAT is the DECEPTION? Is the teaching that the earth is SPHERE” the deceptions? OR is it the teaching that the earth is FLAT that is the deception” I want my readers to examine the FACTS real close so you can see which is the TRUE deception and WHO it is that to founded this deception. Please closely consider what God led me to find while doing my OWN research on whether the earth is flat or whether the earth is a sphere. Here is a quote from another website called Art Sign Works Incorporated. I want to read the quote first and then I want you to click on the LINK and go to that website and look at the LOGO emblem SEAL of the UNITED NATIONS.
“On the right is shown a design for a carved wall plaque of the emblem/seal/crest for the United Nations (UN).”
Did you see that? It is the SAME picture of the FLAT earth that “flat earthers” use in their model of the flat earth. WHY would the UNITED NATIONS use this image of the FLAT earth as their SEAL, logo, and emblem? Now please read a quote from another website called Queens Museum and you will see WHY the United Nations uses the FLAT earth model as their SEAL. Again, please read the quote first and then click on the LINK and go to that website and view ANOTHER picture used by the UNITER NATIONS and you will see WHO is BEHIND the United Nations.
“The People’s United Nations (pUN) is an event and exhibition by Mexican artist Pedro Reyes. The event takes place on November 23-24, 2013, and the exhibition runs from November 9, 2013-March 30, 2014. Pedro Reyes: The People’s United Nations (pUN) is a playful homage to the United Nations, inspired by the fact that the global body’s General Assembly met from 1946-1950 in the building that later became the Queens Museum...This experimental gathering will test Reyes’ hypothesis that, since diplomacy has not yet solved the world’s problems, conflict-resolution techniques proven in other fields should be tried instead...Welcome to the People’s United Nations (pUN), an exhibition and performance by Pedro Reyes!...pUN is made up of over 150 citizen-delegates from the 195 member and observer states of the (real) United Nations. They’re with us today to use popular theater and other techniques to grapple with real-world problems from a personal, playful perspective.”
Now please click on the LINK and go to that website and view the PICTURE used by the UNITED NATIONS (pUN). Did you see the all-seeing EYE in the HAND that is behind the UNITED NATIONS? Most Christians know and understand that the image of the all-seeing eye is the logo and emblem of the Illuminati. So anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear can clearly see that it is the ILLUMINATI that is behind the DECEPTION of the FLAT earth and NOT some so-called deception of the earth being a SPHERE as the flat earthers CLAIM.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.

This way you can just send ONE link to those who you want to share the TRUE sound Biblical FOUNDATIONAL teachings of the church that Jesus and his Apostles taught in the first century church.
Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Brother Mark.
My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century.
So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.
