Ben S. is very helpful when resolving the forbidden TRUTHS of ancient history and cosmology however, although he agrees that the ancient Hebrews believed in a stationary, enclosed flat earth, he holds to the belief of "Divine Accommodation" as the late Michael Heiser did. This means that even though the Bible and the Hebrew ancients held to flat earth cosmogony, modern science has proven them wrong and God merely accommodated their lack of scientific knowledge. IMO, this is terribly wrong and puts modern scientism as the supreme authority over the Word of God.
Below, is the description from Ben S. video:
