In 1893, Professor Orlando Ferguson of Hot Springs, South Dakota, produced one of the most remarkable Flat Earth maps ever published: the Square and Stationary Earth. Unlike the spinning globe model taught in schools, Ferguson’s map presented the Earth as unmoving, flat, and firmly grounded — a model supported by over 400 passages in the Bible.

Ferguson boldly claimed that:

• The globe theory has no foundation in Scripture.

• The Earth is stationary, immovable, and square-shaped, as described in biblical texts.

• The Sun and Moon move above the Earth in precise circuits, explaining day, night, and eclipses without needing a spinning planet in space.

A Map That Defied Modern Science

Ferguson’s map directly challenged the rising popularity of globe-based astronomy. At the time, mainstream science was embracing Darwin’s evolution and Copernican cosmology, both of which undermined biblical teaching.

His map showed:

• A flat plane with the North Pole near the center.

• The Sun and Moon revolving overhead, not millions of miles away.

• A protective boundary of land and ice surrounding the world.

• The four corners of the Earth, referenced repeatedly in Scripture.

Scripture That Condemns the Globe Theory

Ferguson’s map was not just based on observation, but also on faith. At the bottom of his chart, he included biblical verses such as:

• “The world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.” — 1 Chronicles 16:30

• “He hath established the Earth upon its foundations, so that it shall never move.” — Psalm 104:5

• “And the devil… showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.” — Luke 4:5 (only possible on a flat plane)

To Ferguson, these passages proved beyond doubt that the Earth could not be spinning or flying through space at thousands of miles per hour.

A Challenge to the Globe

At the bottom of the map, Ferguson openly mocked the absurdity of the globe model. He pointed out:

• If the Earth spins at 1,000 mph, why don’t we feel it?

• If the Earth flies around the Sun at 66,600 mph, why doesn’t everything fly off?

• How can oceans curve around a ball without spilling?

For him, the answers were obvious: the Earth is square, stationary, and exactly as the Bible describes it.

Legacy of the Square and Stationary Earth Map

While mocked by the scientific establishment of his day, Ferguson’s map became a powerful artifact in the Flat Earth movement. It demonstrated how biblical truth and real-world observation aligned against the so-called “science” of the globe.

Today, the Square and Stationary Earth Map continues to inspire researchers and believers who reject NASA’s deceptions and return to the scriptural model of the world.

Conclusion

Orlando Ferguson’s Square and Stationary Earth Map stands as both a challenge and a reminder: the globe theory is not only scientifically flawed but also scripturally condemned. With hundreds of Bible verses supporting a flat, immovable Earth, Ferguson’s work remains a cornerstone in the history of Flat Earth belief.

The truth is clear: the Earth is square, stationary, and firmly set — just as the Bible says.
