Any attempt to harmonize the Bible with reality has to incorporate all of the physical structures of the earth that are mentioned in scripture, things like the pillars of the earth and the ends of the earth. They have to be resolved with what we can see around us, or infer from various forms of evidence.
It can be shown that each of the following is a specific physical structure and each structure can be defined. Everything listed here has been incorporated into the spherical hollow earth model (SHEM).
