Here is a pdf file for those who want to teach it in their sunday schools www.mediafire.com/file/0p4wjh78k7imagh/Eclipse_that_shook_the_world.docx/fileThis youtube video is about 50 mins long. it goes into to great detail explaining just what happened when the sign of the shadow went back ward and the impact it would of had on the Mesopotamian world at the time. Did the Sun really go backward or did something else just as spectacular occur ? From beginning to end the Bible confronts a Babylonian world view that is able to morph and reappear as something new. The event was so spectacular that the Babylonians sent a group of ambassadors to visit Hezekiah and investigate the sign. 2nd kings 20:12 12 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 2nd Chronicles 32: 30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 31 Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. Isaiah 38: 7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. Isaiah 39 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

Schooldad3, another great analysis. Thank you so much for your work.
I could not help but notice a connection to Hitlers imagery of a birds feathers on the top of the flag pole type of thing that might have came down in-time from the sun aurora as you have explained in your video.
Secondly, King Hezekiah is a great example of how a righteous king protects his people and I can see a connection between the suffering of this king and the suffering of Christ. I did not know however that the sign of the sundial was seen throughout the Mesopotamian world. Comparatively, that area was darkened when Christ paid the price for his people.
Great work.

thank you for sharing this research schooldad3. I have often though about the consequences of 'turning back he sundial' (and Joshuas long day) as they pertain to cataclysm on the earth had the earth actually stood still or rotated backwards. the events would be flood-like or worse! It is also interesting how pagan cultures worshipped the sun and events like eclipses, yet the Lord used them to show His majesty over the creation as signs for those who trust in Him and not the creation! Truly appreciate your sharing these studies!

schooldad3 , boraddict , mike , Many of the symbols on the representation of Hezekiah's ring appear to be paleo-hebrew in shape. See link. Did anyone else notice the scale (size) shown in the depiction of the stamp made by Hezekiah's ring indicates the size to be slightly larger than 3/8 inch? (1 cm = .3937 inch).

What is the significance of its size? I did a little digging, looking around for some examples of signet rings from the same era. Most of the ones I could find seemed to be in the 2.5-4cm range, measuring in any given direction. Also, something came to mind regarding the video that was unusual, but I am going to have to go back to the vid to confirm it...

schooldad3 , At 19:10 you mention that there was a partial solar eclipse in 701/702BC, and this seems to confirm Hezekiah's reign from c. 715 BC to 686 BC and also when Sennacherib had Jerusalem under siege in 701. 701/702-686 is 15 years and a few months. Have you been able to find anything that indicates that Sennacherib was present during the eclipse? Weren't there 185,000 Assyrians killed during that siege? Wonder if it was during the eclipse... Check this out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezekiah#Defeat_of_Sennacherib's_army

Just want to point the interested reader and watcher to one of the most fascinating books, I ever read on this topic: "The Long Day of Joshua and Six Other Catastrophes", written by Patch, Hatch and Steinhauer.
Unfortunately this book is only available antiquarian, but it is the by far very best, I ever read. It is based on a completely different cosmological view (not the modern/atheistic nebular hypothesis, introduced by Kant et al) and uses records from lots of ancient cultures, historical records, the bible of course and brings together all facts.
To make a long story short: There were cyclical catastrophes (every roundabout 54 and 108 yrs, recorded in virtually every ancient records and all over the world and it stopped around 701/702 BC. These catastrophes included several other events, like the Flood, the Long day of Joshua and several other, which are being described in the bible.
701/702 BC also the time frame where all over the world calendars were changed from 360 days/year to around 365 days/year. Even Hezekiah did this which puzzled the rabbis....you can find several records on this in rabbinical literature.
The question is what was the cause?
Ancient Mars was on a complete different orbit and in resonance with Earth. This leads to cyclical approaches to Earth (which varied from 70,000 mi to around 300.000 mi). The consequences were partially indeed catastrophic and resulted in an earth axis shift. This resonance and old orbit was finally broken around 701/702, with Mars approaching Earth up to around 70,000 mi and Mars settled to its current orbit. Earths orbit extended from 360 to 365 days
Ever wondered why the ancient cultures were so anxious of Mars and venerated him as a war god? Ever wondered where the old Greek and Roman "myths" concerning Mars (also called Ares) originated from?
This model has totally convinced me and I would encourage every interested reader to get this book, maybe you will find some left in libraries or on flea markets. The book is written not only for scientists, engineers, geologists and others, but also for laymen.

@reepicheep having read another book (cant recall name but you provided me with the info) by Patten the evidence in this citation (you made) is highly likely. Wasnt there another book "Earth/Mars Wars" or something like that? there is strong evidence in that book (perhaps others) that Mars had an elliptical orbit that took Mars to about 70,000 miles from earth! Think about that for a second. The moon is what 250,000 miles from Earth (on average). this elliptical orbit would cause Mars to slingshot past Earth at a higher rate of speed than its current orbit. That information is amazing and highly plausible explanation of many of the miracles recorded in the OT. EDIT - found the content Mars/Earth Wars fascinating read folks, strongly recommended - sorry Schooldad3, dont mean to sidetrack from your research.

Yeah, Mars/Earth Wars or the like is freely available on the website. Thank you for the link, mike!
The book I mentioned (The Long Day of Joshua and Six Other Catastrophes) includes surely parts of the Mars/Earth wars but goes beyond this and focuses more on consolidating the cosmological view with the historical and biblical view.

I priced the book on Amazon and it was $42 for a paper back. I probably wouldn't mind that much if it was a hard back. I will add it to my list and keep an eye out for it at a few used book stores I frequent often.
