Like with any literature, the Bible can be literal, metaphorical and it also employs (for example) hyperbole in the phrase, 'the whole World has gone after Him' - a style of language we still understand in the 21st Century.

2. I'm not quite sure which reference you are highlighting (re a compass?) - but the Bible in other ways communicates the shape of the Earth to people (like us) who now realise that it is a (rough) sphere. When Christ (in an instant) returns, it says some will be asleep, some working, some relaxing; giving us a picture of a world in darkess and in light at the same time, not a possibility if the world was a flat disk.
Others have pointed out that the Hebrew word used in Isaiah 40:22 can mean circle or sphere, but this is not crucial point as the earlier article points out.
I was highlighting something you posted earlier in this thread. Don't you consume any of the cut and paste stuff you spew out?

In Isaiah 44:13 a variant of the word is translated in the ESV as “compass”: “The [human] carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house.” Here, the compass is an instrument used for drawing a circle, and such instruments are still in use today.
