Isaiah 40:22 "circle of the earth" — the Hebrew word is indeterminate (could mean circle or sphere). But Mike thinks it's not about cosmology at all — it's about God sitting above the horizon, sovereign over everything you can see. Job 22:14 uses the same word for the "vault of heaven" which flat-earthers accept as dome-shaped — proving the word doesn't demand "flat."

Refuting Those "Flat Earth Bible Verses": You Should Have Checked the Context. 00:41:28 – 00:45:06

Circle of the earth (Isaiah 40:22) — indeterminate

The Hebrew word (chug) is translated circle/vault/compass. Job 22:14 uses the same word for the dome of heaven — flat-earthers accept that as curved. If the same word can describe a dome (3D) in one verse, it can't be demanded to mean "flat disc" in another. Mike's view: the verse describes the horizon — God is sovereign above everything visible.
