Remember that the earth's longitude lines are
arbitrary, determined by men , The latitude
lines however are real, that is "determined by God"
Speaking of eclipses though, why do they exist? The
sizes of and distances between the moon, earth and sun
seem to be fine-tuned to produce this phenomena. A
recent teaching by Chuck Missler suggests that God did
this so that we would discover the Sun's corona, which
would otherwise be hidden from us, and further suggests
it's because the corona is electrical in nature; so
now we've come full circle to the magnetic properties of
the sun, whose magnetic poles are about to shift as KS
