Hezekiah Superstar

And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.” ’
(Isaiah 38:4-6) NKJV

The sign of the sundial was a precursor to a main event: during the the night 185,000 soldiers of the Assyrian army became dead corpses. The Assyrian king fled to Damascus where he was killed by his own children.

The Sun Went Backwards

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
(2 Kings 20:8-10) KJV

The sun going backwards is such a significant event that it’s recorded twice in scripture in 2 Kings 20 and Isaiah 38:8. It’s also referred to in 2 Chronicles 32:31 as “the wonder that was done in the land“.

The Shadow of the Sundial

Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.” So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.
(Isaiah 38:8) NKJV

Jerusalem was besieged by the Assyrian army and King Hezekiah was so sick that he nearly died. Then the sun went backwards.

Celestial Navigation

Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
(Job 9:9) KJV

The Bible doesn’t describe a heliocentric system, but that’s okay because we don’t observe heliocentricity. It’s a theoretical interpretation of the empirical geocentrospheric reality: it’s imaginary.
