Joshua 10: 12-14 This is an excerpt from one of my favorite reference books, "The Power of Fixed Stars" by Joseph E. Rigor. "Not many years ago, unpublicized, scientists at the Greenbelt, Maryland Government installation were checking the position of the Sun, Moon and planets our in space, where they would be 1,000 years from today. Such knowledge is necessary so they do not send aloft a satellite and have it bump into something unexpectedly. By means of a computer, they ran the information back and forth over the centuries when it suddenly came to a halt, flashing a red light, a signal that all was not well in their calculations. After much checking they found there was a day missing in space in elapsed time, and there was no immediate answer. "One man in the group got out a Bible and found a statement that appeared ridiculous for anyone who had common sense. It was Joshua 10, verses 12 to 14, relating how the Sun stood still. This, the space explorers felt was the missing day, however, it was not close enough. The day missing in Joshua's time was 23 hours and 20 minutes, not a whole day. After rereading the Bible, it was noted the claim was 'about a day'. ?Next, someone came up with II Kings 20, verses 8 to 10 and read where the Lord brought the shadow backwards ten degrees. Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes. Twenty three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in II Kings makes the missing 24 hours." If you like

This is a very mystical cover as it reminds us of the ancient Greek symbol called Triskelion, Victory and Progress. Here are three modernized examples:
