Flat Earth

Basically. Everything we see in the sky in inside the firmament. The original Hebrew word implies something hard, beaten or stretched. Isaiah 40;22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the Earth,and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches the heavens out like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Here’s a good example of what it would look like from above.
The UN symbol with a reef of Apollo. Apollo is the Antichrist mentioned in revelations. This symbol is supposed to represent apollo’s power over the earth.
Interesting, so if the earth is flat and oriented as depicted (azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the north pole), can you explain how the seasons work? I honestly don't care about symbolism as that sounds like hokum.
Also, how exactly do satellites work? Do they just not exist?
I heard somebody talking about their Great Great Gread Grand Dad sailing off one of the edges??
Or like the proVaxer’s lol. Probably should have added the dude behind the couch.

This entire thread is why we'll never have nice things...
An exercise for the flat-earthers:
The earth's circumference is approximately 24,901 miles, as measured around the equator. The rotational speed of the earth, measured at the equator, is approximately 1040 miles per hour. The earth makes one full rotation (24,901 miles) every 24 hours.
The continental United States is about 2,800 miles wide at it's widest point, east-to-west. If somebody on the east coast experiences sunset at a specific moment, someone on the west coast will experience sunset at approximately 2.9 hours later. If those two people were talking on the phone for the entire time, and declared the moment of sunset, it would be approximately 2.9 hours between the time the east coaster declared sunset, and the time the west coaster declared sunset.
If the earth were flat, they would experience sunset at the same time. But since it is round, the earth has to rotate about 2,800 miles after the east coast sunset, for the west coast to experience sunset.
If there is a flat earth explanation for this time difference, I'd love to read it.
