They reported to Yahweh’s angel who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked back and forth through the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and in peace.”
The Earth is completely motionless, sitting still and at rest in space.

What current science says
Earth is one of the least 'still' objects you could possibly choose. It rotates at 1,670 km/h at the equator, orbits the sun at 107,000 km/h, rides the solar system around the Milky Way at 828,000 km/h, and the galaxy itself is hurtling toward the Great Attractor at about 2.2 million km/h. Add those up and you're moving at roughly 3.1 million km/h through the cosmos right now. The reason it feels still is because everything around you is moving at the same velocity — it's the same reason you can't feel a smooth airplane ride. But 'at rest'? Not even close.
What the text says
This comes from Zechariah 1:11. 'All the earth sitteth still, and is at rest' — the text describes a geocentric, stationary Earth model where our planet just sits in place.
Three honest ways to read this passage
-
As history
The text records how its authors understood the world with the knowledge they had. Read this way, a difference from modern science is a window into the ancient mind, not a failure.
-
As accommodation
The text speaks to its first audience in their own terms, to make a point that isn't mainly about physics or biology. Read this way, the scientific detail is the vehicle, not the cargo.
-
As contradiction
The text makes a claim about the physical world that modern findings dispute. Read this way, the difference is a genuine factual disagreement worth naming.
GEBible doesn't pick one of these for you. Each entry shows the passage, what it says, and what current science says — nothing more.
