Coins discovery proves bible critics wrong

A discovery of coins has been made in the Museum of Egypt. The coins are from many different periods, including coins that bore special markings identifying them as being from the era of Joseph.

Joseph’s name appears on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, which was given to him by Pharaoh when he became treasurer. There is also an image of Joseph, who was part of the egyptian administration at the time.

The bible mentions coins in Genesis 23:14, 37:28, & 42:35. Bible critics assure us that no coinage existed in those times. Once again, the bible is proved correct and the critics are wrong.

Does the bible say that the earth is flat?

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth Isaiah 40:22

The Hebrew transliteration is khug which means “a circle, sphere”

This verse was written by the prophet Isaiah some 2700 years ago. At that time, the earth was thought to be flat. So it begs the question, who told Isaiah that the earth was a sphere?

Opponents of the bible commonly use other verses to claim that the bible teaches a flat earth:

He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.
Isaiah 11:12

The hebrew transliteration is kanaph which basically means extremity. ‘Four corners of the earth’ is simply a ‘figure of speech’.
