How do we know the sun stood still in Joshua's battle?

The account of the sun standing still during Joshua’s battle against the Amorites, found in Joshua 10, is a remarkable testimony to God's sovereign power over creation. The specific request of Joshua, 'O sun, stand still over Gibeon,' and the fulfillment of that request signifies that God has authority over time and nature. While some skeptics propose alternate explanations, such as poetic interpretation or natural phenomena, the text clearly presents this as a literal moment where God acted outside of the normal patterns of the universe for the sake of His people. This event underscores the belief that with God, all things are possible (Mark 9:23).
