Rotation of the Earths Axis
The Bible affirms that the earth has a rotation. That it is like a piece of pottery being turned on the potter’s wheel. A perfect literal description of what the earth looks like in space as it turns on its axis.
Rotational Effects
In Job 38 God specifically asks Job if he knows how to dictate the time of day by taking hold of the earth.
God is stating that the Earth’s movement dictates how and where the morning beings or ends. The Bible is showing us that the Earth has a rotation directly proportional to how we receive sunlight here on Earth.
God also reveals to Job a parallel of how the earth looks by comparing it to a piece of clay on the potter’s wheel (turns on its seal). That just as the potter is stationary to the clay, like the sun is stationary to the earth, the earth turns on its axis to receive the light of the sun.
