For ages, scientists believed in a geocentric view of the universe. The differences between night and day were believed to be caused by the sun revolving around the earth. Today, we know that the earths rotation on its axis is responsible for the suns rising and setting. But 4,000 or more years ago, it was written, Have you commanded the morning since your days; and caused the day spring [dawn] to know his place? . . . It [the earth] is turned as clay to the seal (Job 38:12,14). The picture here is of a clay vessel being turned or rotated upon the potters wheelan accurate analogy of the earths rotation. Luke 17:3436 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is another clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night occurring at the same time.
