But it does say that the Earth is flat:

Matthew 4:8, "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory
of them;"

The only way you can see Yucatan, China and the Middle East from the
same vantage point, is if the Earth is flat.
