sitting on the circle of the earth. The word “circle” applies to the spherical shape of the earth. The fact that he sits above it implies that God continuously sustains and maintains his creation (Col 1:17; Hebrews 1:3). Looking down from above, men see themselves as tiny before the one who has created and extended the universal heavens.
