But some have even claimed that there are various records from different observational points in the world claiming simular sights about the same time. For example in south america there are legends of a long night from about that period. Do some googleing. Like I said I haven't checked out those claims yet, but they're out there. | |

| Apr 8, 2013 at 19:36 | comment | added | Alypius | @fredsbend That is certainly another very interesting possibility! It would leave other parts of the world unaffected, though we could (perhaps foolishly) wonder about how God continued to allow the same amount of light to stream in. The major point of any miracle, I think, is that God is fully in control, that nothing depends on the laws of nature, that all depends on God. If He wanted to dip the Sun into the ocean to show us something, He could do that, though I suspect that He might not do this out of kindness to all the people who might go insane upon seeing this happen. | |

Since the story is about time to finish God's commands and promises that fits in well to show that God is the master of time as well. Great answer. | |
