## Resource

Why does a compass always point north? Most people never stop to ask. In this episode of The Flat Earth Files, we follow that question deep into Scripture and discover a fascinating pattern hidden in plain sight. From Isaiah 40:22 and the circle of the earth to Psalm 48, Job, Zechariah, and Isaiah 14, the Bible repeatedly directs our attention toward the north. Is it merely a direction, or does it point to something far greater? We examine the biblical connection between the north, God's throne, divine authority, and Lucifer's rebellion. Why did Satan specifically desire the "sides of the north"? Why does Scripture repeatedly associate the north with God's majesty and government? And what can a simple compass teach us about the Creator, the center of creation, and the battle that has raged since the beginning? Join us as we explore the throne above the circle, the rebellion that failed, and the King who still reigns.
