The missing day.

Recently, space scientists in Maryland were checking out where the positions of the sun, moon, and planets would be in 100 or 1000 years from now.
They have to know the precise placement of them so that the satellites that are launched will not "bump" into them later on it orbits. They have to lay out the orbits based on the life of the satellite and where the planets will be in 100 or 1000 years.
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 either something wrong with the information fed into it, or with the results as compared to the standards.
They called in the service dept. to check it out, and they asked, "What's wrong?"
Well, they found there was a day missing in space in lapsed time.
"That's impossible!" the scientists said.

Finally, a Christian man on the team said,"One time when I was in Sunday School, we talked about the sun standing still."
He showed them in Joshua 10:12-13 these words:

"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. The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to go down about a whole day."

The scientists were sceptical, but intrigued. They checked the computers going 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 hrs. and 20 min. Not a whole day.
They read the Bible, and there it was; "about a day",but, the 40 minutes would have to be found.
The christian also remembered a story in the Bible 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 proof. Isaiah said,'Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degress?' Hezekiah said, 'It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degress, but let the shadow return backwards.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and the Lord brought the shadow 10 degrees BACKWARD!"

Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes!
23 hrs. and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in 2nd Kings make the missing day in the universe!!

Isn't that amazing how science has proved that God and His word are, in fact, accurate and true?

"There will come a day when every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord and every knee shall bow......"
