Plewase keep the flat earth accusation out of this in relation to this thread's statement that the Scriptures do not lie. The Scriptures state the earth is a globe, for the Hebrew word תבֵל /tebel means "globe"
1Sa 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.
Hebrew תבֵל /tebel means "globe" -from the B-L etymons which denote swelling, and from those etymons we get words like "belly, ball, bulb, bell, balloon", and so on and so forth.
Only ignorance of the Word itself would cause a person to state that the world is flat, and only willful ignorance of the Word itself causes a person to deny the Truth of Scripture that states the heavens circle the earth and that the sun rises and sets around the globe following its own peculiar path in the circle/heavens of the earth...
As to the corners of earth: you need to go to the Hebrew to discover the truth of it and stop interpreting based on translators mis-understandings:
The word is not
מַקְצֻעָה mĕquts`ah -corner posts:
but כָּנָף kanaph wings
So you have the four borders of the earth, which relates to the four winds: North, South, East, and West. They have points of origin from which points they go over all the earth....
Enoch flatly states that the winds are the pillars of the earth and the heavens, and those are powers/forces having specific points of rest, from which they disperse.
The KJV translates Strongs H3671 in the following manner: wing (74x), skirt (14x), borders (2x), corners (2x), ends (2x), feathered (2x), sort (2x), winged (2x), misc (8x).
I'm sorry, but disconnecting flat earth insanity from Geo-centric insanity is, well, useless. Both are willfully ignorant of things we can literally look at.
Your video man has no grasp on science or mathematics. I listened. I teach the sciences to people as an assistant to our biology department in a Christian university. He makes up crap to support an ill-conceived and vastly disproven theory. You know how tiny we are? Our entire galaxy, which looks like this:

(Our sun is the little dot "Our Solar System" is pointing at)
That ginormous collection of MILLIONS of stars is only a speck in the center of the next picture:

That is only a map of what we can SEE! That doesn't include all the things we can't see.
