![]() Indeed, the Internet has given it new legs, and spreading it to new audiences is as easy as clicking the ‘forward’ button.Īlthough the notion of a “lost day” in time has been circulating for well over a century, the version cited here, which has been bedevilling NASA since the 1960s, achieved pre-eminence through the tireless efforts of Mr. ![]() Scholars dismissed Rimmer’s claims as baseless, but despite the authoritative debunkings of that time and in the years since, the legend continues to thrive. In his own work, Rimmer cited an 1890 book as his proof of the calculations behind the tale. #NASA PICTURE OF THE DAY EMAIL PLUS#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? Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! 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.” Hezekiah, on his deathbed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings that told of the following story: Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits.Īs the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. 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 1,000 years from now. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua’s day was 23 hours and 20 minutes - not 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. 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!” (Joshua 10:12-13) Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell they would overpower them. 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.” There was no answer.įinally, 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.” They scratched their heads and tore their hair. Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They called in the service department to check it out and they said, “What’s wrong?” 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 ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. 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. We have to know this so we won’t send a satellite, up and have it bump into something later on in its orbits. 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. “I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at GreenBelt, Maryland. ![]() ![]() Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the space program, Readers have been awestruck by the “missing day” legend since at least 1936, when the story emerged into popular culture via a book by Harry Rimmer, titled The Harmony of Science and Scripture, as reflected in this 1999 example from the Internet:įor all the scientists out there and for all the students who have a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible … here’s something that shows God’s awesome creation and shows that He is still in control.ĭid you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called “myth” in the Bible is true?
