The Diameter of the Earth
The Most Simple Definition of Geometry
Geometry is the measurement of the Earth, (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gêo) 'earth, land', and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure.' The measurement of the Earth's circumference has been important to navigation since ancient times.
The first known scientific measurement and calculation of Earth's circumference was determined by Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who achieved a great degree of precision in his computation. He determined Earth's circumference would be its single most important measurement. Earth's circumference is the most famous among the results obtained by Eratosthenes, who measured the Earth's meridian at 252,000 stadia,
measured Earth's circumference mathematically using two surface points to make the calculation. Eratosthenes' method to calculate Earth's circumference has been lost, but more importantly, his awareness to the significance of the number 2520 has been lost on the atheistic scientific community of today.
Isaiah 40:22
He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in.
Job 38:4-5
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
π - A Mathematical Constant
As Simple as Pi
When calculating dimensions in geometry, two numbers stand above all others. The greatest of these is pi (π), or 3.14159265. Pi is a ratio based on the circle (no matter what size or calibration is used in its measurement).
An "Apparent" Discrepancy Solved
1 Kings 7:23 describes a large cast bronze basin that measured 10 cubits in diameter and a circumference of 30 cubits, which is mathematically inaccurate. But realizing that each letter in the Hebrew alphabet intrinsically carries a mathematical value, the mystery is easily solved.

360° Degrees of the Circle
The Circle of the Earth
The second most important number is, especially in regard to the geometry of antiquity, is the number 360.
This is the system of "degrees" of a circle or division of the whole in to logical fractions.
The first civilizations of Sumer and Egypt knew the significance of the number 360.
There is indisputable evidence that all ancient calendars employed a 360-day year. Many speculate that the some world event (cataclysm) grew the year to 365 days.
The Diameter of the Moon
Why do we never see the far side of the Moon?
The moon does not seem to be spinning from our viewpoint on Earth because we only see its near side and its synchronous rotation keeps it almost perfectly still on its elliptical path around the Earth.
The moon’s diameter is 2160 statute miles (according to algebra.com, astronomy.org, and NationalGeographic.com) and is determined by subtracting the number of degrees in a circle, 360 (or the observable rotating component), from 2520.
The circumference of the Moon is 2160 x pi = 6785.840131753953 statute miles.
The Moon's diameter and how it relates to the city of Jericho will be further explained in the section, Joshua Chapter 6.
Psalm 8:3
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.*
Hebrew מְנָא (mᵊnā') - set in place, numbered
The Distance from the Earth to the Moon
Apogee and Perogee
Not only are the dimensions of the Earth and the Moon calculated with the number 2520, the furthest distance in their separation during their elliptical path of rotation displays the same "Signature of God." The Moon is 252,000 miles away from the Earth when it reaches its apogee.
The Moon does not orbit the Earth in a perfect circle, but rather in an elliptical path, so its distance varies between 225,700 miles and 252,000.
Jeremiah 31:35-36
35 Thus says the LORD,
who gives the sun for light by day
and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of hosts is His name:
36 If this fixed order departs
from before Me, declares the LORD,
then shall the offspring of Israel cease
from being a nation before me forever.”
The Perfect Proportion
Illustrates A Intelligent Designer
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
