As for the movement of the earth closer to the sun, into a tighter orbit, there is quite a bit said—
Isa 24:20 “The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.”
The earth is currently upside-down. If you go due north, you will hit the constellation of Draco, the dragon. When Jesus returns, His enemies are “placed at His feet”. The earth will be righted, moved out of its orbit, and moved closer to teh sun. At first, the earth will be scorched, in fact the Bible talks about the seas literally boiling, and evaporating. But this is part of God’s plan and with the universe repaired, the laws of physics altered and the vapor canopy, the firmament reinstated, we will enjoy quite a better world. After all, the sun is symbolic of God in the Bible, and we have moved away from Him. When He returns, we will be brought closer. Physically, as well as symbolically.
You do realize that sufficient sun heat to boil the oceans would much more quickly burn up everything on land, including all the people, don’t you?
Why cannot these verses be interpreted figuratively, as any rational person would assume when reading them?
Is this to be taught as Intelligent Design ?
Of course I mean to suggest that ID is in fact a cover for this kind of thinking, which would quickly reveal itself in any program of ID instruction. This is the esoterica for which ID is the exoterica.
