    The lexicon on the "Blue Letter Bible " site defines the Hebrew word as "circle, sphere, used of the arch or the vault of the sky"

    I read the chapter of Isaiah as using expressions in a poetic metaphorical way, so I would not be too specific or literal about the word. It certainly does not prove any scientific accuracy of The Bible as the WT would have it, but it does not prove that Isaiah thought the Earth to be flat, either..

    Physicists postulate a fifth dimension; I believe it's the world of spirits.

    Some postulate more than that. A lot more. String theory postulates 11. That's 7 more than we perceive.

    The whole argument on boths sides is bogus. Everyone knows the earth is a square. It has four foundations or sides. Besides that, how could Jesus see ALL the Kingdoms of the earth if the earth was anything but flat?

    You guys don't know what you are talking about.
