Why would it be a joke? I was simply pointing out that the bible says the world was round. Thats all. And as far as im concerned God can sit anywhere He wants.Although i think the passage was not speaking literally.
The term "circle" (NIV, but "vault" in many other versions) in Isa 40:22 has nothing to do with the world being round, but is simply a reference to the horizon that encircles human experience on the Earth (Pratt).

Tell us how your literal translation will now deal with:

Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)

Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV)

Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV)

Daniel 4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH: (KJV)
Did you know that Biblical Verses suggest the earth has Edges (Job 38:13), Ends (Job 37:3; 28:24), Four Corners, Pillars (Job 9:6), and Foundations? What does a circle with 4 corners look like? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" />
