Joshua 10
12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children
of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou,
moon upon Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is
not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the
LORD fought for Israel."
NASA states on their web site:
"According to the laws of physics, there are only two possible explanations for having the Sun stand still in the sky for a day: (1) the Earth would essentially have to stop spinning on its axis...for which there is no evidence. -or-
(2) the Sun would have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still. There is no evidence of this occurring either."
Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."
John 11:9 "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world."
The sun stood still "in the midst" of
heaven is literally translated as "from the half" of heaven 
If the sun moved with earth's rotation 12 hours that is half way. Israel would see stars from the other half of heaven that night. While demonstrating to my wife, in the summer of 1999, the sun moving 180° around the earth to stand still in the sky it occurred to me earth would continue moving but now in reverse. Ancient Greek and Chinese records describe earth in a reverse orbit.
Harold Hill who wrote the Missing Day Story may have heard of NASA scientists discovering such a reverse orbit. He used Totten's book, published in 1890, instead. These may be the original NASA calculations in the Missing Day Story: When the sun moved 180° east to stand still in the sky for Joshua the sun moved to the other side of the earth, which takes 12 hours, and earth flowed into a reverse orbit. Then there was 12 hours of elapsed time unaccounted for. This might be February 26 1238 BC and half an orbit from then, 186 days and 10 hours 10 PM August 31. This is the same as the half orbit from our Spring equinox to our Fall equinox. Earth is nearest the Sun on January 3 2011, which is two weeks after the winter solstice. February 26 1238 BC is a quarter orbit plus two weeks after earth's nearest approach to the sun in 1239 BC November 15. Over the past 7000 years earth's nearest approach of the sun has shifted from September to January. Thus the half orbit from noon February 26 to 10 PM August 31 is the same 186 days 10 hours. Then the sun could move back and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. For there to be 365 days a reverse orbit year earth must speed up 48 hours in its orbit around the sun. Else there would be 367 days a year because rotation is against orbit. Then we have about 24 hours of missing time in this half orbit unaccounted for. Earth must speed up 24 hours in half a year of 183 days. But this half orbit is 186 days 10 hours of 365 days, 186.4166/365.2422 X 48, correlating to 24 hours and 30 minutes missing time, from which we can round up to 24 hours and 40 minutes. Realistically the shortest half orbit would also be the more sped up half. 365.24/178.8 X 48 / 4 = 24 hours 30 minutes missing time applied to the 179 days shorter half orbit. Then we may have found the 40 minutes in the Missing Day Story. 10 PM August 31 1238 BC may have been when Gideon attacked the Midianites at the beginning of the second watch that year, slew 120,000 men and travelled 60 miles before turning back in victory before sunrise. Not possible in the dark and not possible in just the few hours of the morning twilight.
John 9:4 "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
The sun could travel 540° east, the sun rise in the west and earth flow out of the reverse orbit. More likely, the sun brightened sevenfold and the moon reflected the light of the sun and appeared as bright as the sun. Then the sun and moon moved either 180° or 540° to stand still in the sky for 12 hours or 36 hours and earth flow out of the reverse orbit of the sun. This was a full moon over Gideon and the sun on the other side of the earth at the beginning of the second watch. Now we need to take care of the 40 minutes. In Judges 8:13 Gideon returned before the sun ascended, perhaps suddenly in the east still at sevenfold brightness. Then earth could flow into a reverse orbit of the sun for the winter half reverse orbit to take care of the 40 minutes.
Matthew 5:45 "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
A second reverse orbit of 178.6 days right after the first covers the shortest half of earth's elliptical orbit. 178.6/365.24 X 48 = 23:30 hours rounded to 23:20 hours. 24:40 hours + 23:20 hours = 48 hours missing time. We have found the missing 40 minutes. 48 hours elapsed time countered by 48 hours missing time. The elapsed time: + 12 hours February 26 1238 BC + 36 hours - sun at sevenfold on the other side of the earth and full moon as bright as the sun - the night of August 31 1238 BC - 12 hours September 1 1238 BC and + 12 hours February 27 1237 BC. The beginning of the second watch may be the time the sun rose in the west and stood still in the sky for 24 hours. Then the sun set in the west and rose suddenly in the east in Judges 8:13 at sevenfold brightness like at Jesus' resurrection April 5 33 AD. When the sun travelled east 180° or 540° and stood still in the sky perhaps the sun was dimmed on earth, when the sun travelled west 180° perhaps the sun was brightened sevenfold. Then when earth flowed out of the second reverse orbit February 27 1237 BC eclipse paths on earth's surface would be exactly where we would predict them to be backwards in time and daily coral lines would be exactly as we would expect them to be each day. Yes, you can find if the sun set on February 26, 1238 BC in the daily growth on a coral. However, if the sun were dimmed the layer may appear as any other daily layer.
View the animation of the above model.
View the power point presentation of the above animation slide by slide.
You can see in the above orbits that earth in a reverse orbit has 2 more days a year. This means earth must speed up in its reverse orbit 48 hours, 2 X 24 hour days, to keep 365.2422 days a year. Or else there would be 367.2422 days a year. That is, earth must speed up from 105,000 kilometers an hour to 105,570 kilometers an hour.
Likewise, the moon in earth's reverse orbit has two more lunar months a year. Thus the moon must slow down two orbits a reverse orbit year. There are 27.322 days a lunar orbit. Then in a reverse orbit the moon must slow down 54.644 days a year to keep the normal 12 lunar months a year. Because earth is sped up 48 hours a year, the moon must speed up 48 hours a year as well. So the moon must slow down 52.644 days in its orbit of the earth in a reverse orbit year to keep the same 12.36 lunar months a year. That is, the moon must slow down from 3,600 kilometers an hour to 3,100 kilometers an hour. All these orbits are relative to earth. Tides etc. would be exactly the same relative to the day. Scientists measure how many tides = lunar orbits a year in sediment. They can then calculate the lenghth of the day. However, in this controled reverse orbit the number of lunar orbits a year is exactly the same as normal. The length of the year with long days is exactly the same as well. No evidence was left.
The space program began in earnest in 1958 so by 1969 when Harold Hill heard of the Missing Day NASA was capable of discovering it. According to Harold Hill NASA discovered it in the 1960's space mission to the moon. Simply finding a result that was an error could cause the red light to come up. Such a result could be that the sun was 180° away from where should be, like in king Wan's dream, would cause the program to halt. Joshua's rising moon in Israel was above in China, Joshua's noon sun was setting in China. King Wan's dream occurred just after sunset. The planets were in Fang/Libra, the sun in Virgo - a Fall constellation. However, the date was the first week of the first month of Spring when the sun must be in Pisces. There may have been a computer check that gave an error when the wrong season of the year was entered in regards to the position of the sun. Fall was the answer the computer was looking for. Spring was entered. Then the red light. Once they obtained the date the earth was nearest the sun in 1238 BC and the Assyrian Omen date of Adar, February - the same date as the Chinese Spring, for the sun standing still at noon, they could calculate the missing 40 minutes on a slide rule. The Assyrian Omen was for the battle of Merom when Joshua chased the Assyrians into Sidon a year after Joshua's long day when the sun must return. Both the Assyrian Omen and king Wan's dream and Joshua's long day were for about 1200 BC. Some of the talented people employed in the mission to the moon may have been the ones to discover the missing day. Or else I am the first to discover the model of Joshua's long day.

The "Missing Day" Story
Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called myth in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development:
I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now.. We have to know this so we won't send a satellite, up and have it bump into something later on during its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down..
They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in the service department to check it out and they said what's wrong?
Well they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. Finally, a Christian man on the team said, You know, one time I was in Sunday school and they talked about the sun standing still. While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, Show us. He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with common sense.
There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right---The sun stood still and the moon stayed---and hasted not to go down about a whole day!
The astronauts and scientists said, There is the missing day! They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes---not a whole day. They read the Bible and there it was about (approximately) a day.
These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in trouble 1000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits..
As the Christian employee thought about it, remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went backwards. The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings: Hezekiah, on his death-bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees? Hezekiah said, It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees. Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees backward! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe!
Isn't it amazing? Our God is rubbing their noses in His Truth! References:
Joshua 10:8 and 12,13
2 Kings 20:9-11
The reference to the sun's shadow descending backwards in 2 Kings 20:9-11 was the Hebrew word Mahaleh, for ascending as well. Then the second reference should be Judges 8:13 instead when Gideon returned before the sun was up, before the sun ascended, to correct for this 40 minutes. Also, of note is the reference to the sun going backwards. That the sun ascended, perhaps it had descended. The sun might have gone backwards to rise in the west at 10PM August 31 1238 BC and then suddenly ascending 5AM September 1 1238 BC in the east 42 hours later. Or perhaps the sun was brightened to sevenfold and the moon became as the sun as the moon reflected the brightened sun - and the sun and moon moved 180° or 540° east for the full moon to stand still over Gideon for 12 or 36 hours. Then before the moon set, perhaps the sun still sevenfold in brightness, the sun suddenly rose at 5 AM September 1 1238 BC changing direction and traveling 180° west. Perhaps the sun travelled west 180° immediately after travelling 540° east. That is, perhaps after the moon had stood still at the 10 PM position for 36 hours, the sun travelled 180° west to suddenly and brilliantly ascend to the noon position on Israel.
Judges 5:20
"They fought from heaven; the stars in
their courses fought against Sisera."
The stars in their courses may be rapidly moving planets as the sun was about to rise, perhaps in the west.
5:31 "So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth
in his might."
This may be the red light in the Missing Day Story. NASA computers often put up a red light and had to be seen to:
Red light in NASA computer room from 50 years NASA.
If the earth stopped or reversed its rotation, the problems are immense. If the earth stopped rotating for 24 hours there would be 24 hours of missing time. If the sun revolved around the earth 360° there would again be 24 hours of missing time. If the sun moved halfway around the earth in a series of 4 sun miracles there would be no net missing time. No evidence left. The word for - So the sun stood still in the "midst" of heaven - is literally half, "from the half of heaven". Of the 126 times it is used in the Bible, 108 times it is translated as "half" and 8 times as "midst". If you are counting on the stars of heaven as your guide, the only way the sun can stand still from the half of heaven is if the sun revolved around the earth to the other half of heaven. That night Israel would see stars from the other half of heaven.
If the sun moved not 360° but 180° the seasons would change. Earth would flow into a reverse orbit of the sun and must shift on its axis or the sun must move up or down as well as moving the 180° to keep in the same season, unless on the vernal or autumn equinox. Very likely the sun moved up or down after moving the 180° and the orbits of the planets tilted with the sun and no pole shift was necessary. If the sun moved 180° east February 26 1238 BC to stand still at noon in the sky for Joshua for 12 hours the sun must move down to keep the same inclination to earth. Then earth would keep in the same season. Even the sun would move along the exact same zodiac path, only in reverse. Orbital Variations and Insolation Database (search and read up on it under "orbital
variations" or "insolation database") show the seasons and the sun's intensity did not change. This model leaves no evidence. If the sun moved up or down after moving 180° there would be no affect on the earth. Earth must orbit the same distance from the sun in the same elliptical orbit it would have. Earth must rotate exactly as it would have. Thus earth must have been carefully managed to leave no biological trace.
Each day must be 8 minutes shorter than it would have in a reverse orbit because earth must be sped up 2 days, 48 hours, a year to keep 365.24 days a year because rotation is against orbit. The daily amount of heat radiation from the sun must have been adjusted to leave no biological trace in this 8 minutes less a day, 4 minutes less daylight a day. Other than moving the sun at near light speed, there is nothing about this present physics cannot accommodate or expect there to be physical evidence left. If the physics works and leaves no evidence and fits ancient observation, then beware if you be so inclined to mock what may very well be God's work. If NASA is saying there is no trace, no physical evidence the sun moved, they are probably right. However, NASA may be saying there is no evidence whatsoever of the sun being moved around the earth. Then the abundance of evidence documented on this web page directly contradicts that statement. If the sun moved to the other side of the earth, earth's forward momentum would carry earth into a reverse orbit of the sun. Earth must match its
elliptical orbit in reverse perfectly. Earth almost certainly could not be left to itself. The reverse orbit must
have been very skillfully managed to keep the sun's same seasonal intensity, as it would have had, throughout the
year at the same time speeding up the yearly orbit 48 hours to keep the 365 days in a year because rotations are against orbit. If the sun moved earth must flow into a reverse orbit. This answers both concerns:
Earth is rotating at 1,000 mph at the equator and rushing at 70,000 mph around the sun. You will read here of many
reverse zodiacs/orbits. The evidence on this page is reliable.
Genesis 8:22 "While earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
We can see God kept all these promises at the same time moving the sun 180° around the earth and a little up or down to keep earth in the same season. Moving the sun around the earth at the same distance means there would be no change to earth's temperature. Day and night depended on where the sun was and seeing earth continued to rotate day and night continued. Day was when the sun appeared. Thus if the sun moved 180° east generally day/night was 12 hours longer or if the sun moved 180° west day/night was 12 hours shorter. Earth continued to rotate exactly as it would have untouched. Moreover, 12 hours daylight of a normal day was a sign of the shortness of life. Nevertheless, there were many days with 12 hours more daylight, even 36 hours more daylight. Some will say this is not in the Bible. My response is, Oh yes, it is. Many of these days are in the Bible. And the Chinese record sun miracles on the same day and date as those in the Bible. The model of reverse orbit is in the Bible:
Joshua 10:13b "the sun stood still in the midst of heaven for about a whole day"
This verse literally reads the sun stood still from the half of heaven for about a whole day. This means the sun revolved around the earth as earth rotated half way to stand still in the sky for a day of 12 hours and earth's foward momentum carried earth into a reverse orbit of the sun.
The zodiac progresses nomally on the left: Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricorn.
The zodiac progresses in reverse on the right: Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Libra, Virgo.
You can see not only does the zodiac progress in reverse in a reverse orbit, but also jumps six zodiac constellations. The inner planets Mercury and Venus and also Mars must also jump six constellations. The Chinese zodiac progresses in reverse perhaps because there were so many reverse orbits the Chinese thought they were normal.
This research would not have been necessary if only people read their Bibles. You cannot pick up the Bible without reading at least some hint of sun miracles.
A form letter from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD 20771:
We know nothing of Mr. Harold Hill and in no way can corroborate the "lost day" reference in the article.
The effects of epoch events such as leap year, Babylonian calendar sequential perturbations, etc., are considered in the development of long-term-running computer programs. We are limited somewhat in that many of our calculations terminate with Babylonian calendar events (4,000 years ago), but this has never given programmers any unexpected difficulties.
Although we make use of planetary positions as necessary in the determination of spacecraft orbits on our computers, I have not found that any "astronauts and space scientists at Greenbelt" were involved in the "lost day" story attributed to Mr. Hill.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Edward Mason, Chief

Yes, NASA made use of planetary positions. Yes, they were going back 4,000 years. All they would have to do was open the Chinese Classics and come to this record of king Wan's dream in Spring. Right away the computer would put up a red light that the sun cannot be in Leo in Spring! That this five planet conjunction in Fang/Libra 180° from the sun in Pisces in February could not be possible. The sun had passed Libra in November, the western sky after the setting sun from Pisces was in Taurus. That is 180° away from Libra! Mercury orbits very close to the sun. How could Mercury be 180° away from the sun in Fang/libra/Scorpius and still be next to the sun? No way! No way could Mercury be in conjunction with the other planets in Scorpius. Together with a six day moon this record seems to depict the planets in the west just above the sun at sunset.
A computer service technician from NASA who started work just after the Missing Day Story came out emailed me from a newsgroup in about 2000 that these computers often put up a red light and had to be seen to. Yigael Yadin estimated Hazor was burned 1266 - 1233 BC while doing excavations there in 1958 and 1968. All the spacemen would have to do is look for a five planet conjunction at sunset for this period. Joshua's long day February 26, 1238 BC was King Wan's dream occuring at the same time. They may have connected king Wan's dream to Joshua's long day February 26, 1238 BC. Then the computer would tell them this conjunction in the first month of the Chinese spring and on the 6th day of the moon could only be February 26 1238 BC. Next they would see the conjunction was in Fang/Scorpius 180° away and right away realize the five planets moved 180° with the sun to Fang/Scorpius. While they were looking at Assyrian Omens they would find the omen:
"If in Adar (February 20 - March 20) the sun stands still in the middle of noontime:
the land will experience siege (and) misery."
Adar is February. February 26, 1238 BC is probably when the sun stood still at noon time for Joshua. Then the sun must return on the same date one year later at the battle of Merom where there was siege and misery. This day could have lasted 12 hours longer or 60 hours longer at noon. Thus the sun may have stood still when it returned. And thus it became an Assyrian omen. And thus NASA had all the records it needed to find the missing day and the remaining missing 40 minutes with the help of the Bible. These were scientists on a mission. All they were looking for is anything astronomical. The next book after Joshua is Judges. Boling wrote that Joshua and Judges began at the same time. Their day was not done till the 40 minutes were found. Once it was found they did not need to record their findings. Their mission was to find problems to the space program. And since this problem had been solved and posed no risk to the space program it did not need to be reported.
How do you rate this article?
In consideration of all these things, it reminds us of the spiritual truth that God will move heaven and earth to save one soul. How about you?
