00:00The Bible describes a sign in which a shadow moved backward.
00:03How did this happen?
00:05From 2 Kings 20, King Hezekiah was gravely ill, close to death.
00:11The prophet Isaiah told him that God would heal him and asked what sign he would like.
00:18Hezekiah requested the impossible,
00:20that the shadow on the stairway of Ahaz move backward ten steps instead of going forward.
00:26And the biblical account states that it did.
00:28The shadow reversed.
00:30What physical phenomenon, if any, could explain the sign described in this passage?
00:36The event remains a remarkable biblical account of a sign given to a king.
