![]() Theological rebuttal again: The strength of using Matthew and Luke as flat Earth claims is lessoned by the fact that “Kingdom” is a human construct. Luke 4:5: “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.”. ![]() Matthew 4:8: “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world”.This rebuttal also ignores that the New Testament claims that the Devil showed Jesus the entire world from the top of a mountain, which would not be possible on a spherical Earth: Jesus seeing all the kingdoms This fact would seem to indicate that biblical literalists do not know how to read the Bible properly. Thus, it does not necessarily refer to an actually existing tree or make any statements about real cosmology. Theological rebuttal?: The strength of Daniel 4:10-11 as an argument for a flat Earth is considerably lessened by the fact that this part of the Book of Daniel recounts a dream experienced by the Babylonian king during a fit of madness. Only with a flat Earth could a tall tree be visible from “ to the end of all the earth” - this would be impossible on a spherical earth. In Daniel, King Nebuchadnessar “saw a tree in the midst of the earth height thereof was great reaching unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth”. Shows why you couldn’t see all the kingdoms
