ISHINAN: Then, how would you explain the phrase: The " FOUR CORNERS" of the
earth in (Isaiah 11:12)? The very same idea is expressed in Greek in the
Revelation to Saint John Chapter 7
"1kai meta tauta eidon tessaraV aggelouV estwtaV epi taV tessaraV GWNIA V
thV ghV kratountaV touV tessaraVanemouV thV ghV ina mh pneh anemoV epi thV
ghV mhte epithV qalasshV mhte epi pan dendron" ( I saw four angels standing
on the FOUR CORNERS of the earth, etc.) In Greek 'GWNIA' literally means
angles! The Greek GWNIA is the source of the Latin 'CUNEUS' and the
French 'COIN' (Literally: a corner)
We all know that a 'SPHERE' does not have angles! (especially four of them
as expressed in the Scriptures)
.
Instead the idea of an unambiguous term for SPHERE could only by expressed
in Hebrew by using the term 'duwr' (see Strong # 1754 ): a ball/sphere;
see Isa 22:18 below:
"He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a BALL into a large
country: there shalt thou die and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be]
the shame of thy lord's house".
