Proclaiming The Message of Jesus Christ
WMB Quote – Did Joshua Stop the Sun or the Reflection of the Sun?
Quote From the Message “If God Be With Us Then Where Is All The Miracles” – 1961
As I preached the other day on “A Paradox,” when Joshua stopped the sun. Becky back there, said, “Daddy, he couldn’t stop the sun,” said, “the world would stop. He stopped the world.”
I said, “He stopped the sun.” God don’t make any mistakes in His Bible.
Said, “How could He stop the sun, the sun don’t even run? The sun stands still.”
I said, “But that–that missile out there, wasn’t what He was talking about. This sun that was traveling and making it light across the earth, that’s the sun He stopped.” I don’t know what God did to bring it to pass, but He stopped the sun.
The sun was going this way, the sun on the earth, the reflection of the sun. That missile out there, we could–didn’t see in a million miles of it, or millions of miles. But the reflection of the sun that was traveling across the earth from day to night, that’s what Joshua commanded to stand still; and it stopped. A paradox is something that’s unbelievable, yet true. So that’s unbelievable, but yet true.
How can God take a sinner, arrogant, high-tempered, fussy man, and make a saint of God out of him? How can He take a woman that’s so low, till the dogs won’t even turn to her on the street, and make a saint of God out of her? I can’t tell you. But He did it. It’s a paradox. Sure is. All God’s great works are a paradox.

Was it the sun or it’s reflection? What does WBM mean by reflection of the sun?

According to what bro. Branham said here in this quote Joshua didn’t stop the sun because the sun doesn’t move but he stopped the reflection or the sunlight from moving for a while. Bro. Branham in the quote says “But that–that missile out there, wasn’t what He was talking about. This sun that was traveling and making it light across the earth, that’s the sun He stopped.”
When he mentions missile I think he was referring to the physical sun, and then he mentions the sun light is what Joshua had stopped. I don’t know and neither did bro. Branham know how God did it as he says it in the same quote but he stopped the sunlight from moving across that particular part of the world at that time.
