That's been the mystery I've had on my mind since reading Edgar Cayce's prophecies in my early teenage days back in the early 70s.
I also read, but didn't really understand at that age, John White's book Pole Shift and Immanuel Velikovsky's material. I believed it then and haven't forgotten it.
So, fast forward to now and I've been reading A True Life In God, which more or less makes one also study the Bible, which brings me to Revelation/Apocalypse 6:14:
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.That description sounds exactly like what one would see and experience during the sort of Pole Shift event Cayce spoke of during his trances and John White discusses in his book.
As a "For what it's worth", here's some food for thought:
Judgement Day - The Time Of Sorting Has Come
The Lamb's Seal
July 20, 1992
There is a HUGE difference between a polar magnetic shift. That has happened a bunch of times. If you were to look at the magnetic direction of metals along the crust under the Atlantic Ocean it would look like a parquet floor. It shifts directions every so often.
Now, a shift of the crust—meaning the crust of the earth with either break free of the mantle and slide as if you were moving the peel of an orange—is a pretty controversial theory in geology. It is mostly dismissed.
It would mean a sudden slip of the earth’s crust several degrees on its axis. So, for example, London would end up where Rome is, and the current North Pole would be where London is now. (Or some approximation of that.)
In the 1980s in my Geology 301 class, being on the earth at that time was described as all of a sudden moving southward at an alarming rate, and on a wall of earth about 3 miles high. Total destruction would be a “kind” description.
The good news is that you would not be alive very long. Chances are, the average person would have no idea of what was happening.
Concur, with a few exceptions:
The wobble is proterberance. Something that has been known for a long while. The Earth is not perfectly spherical and continental land masses affect the shape of the earth. The heavier the land mass, the more it sinks. This is true for glaciers as well.
The Earths core is solid. Known since 1936 when seismic frequencies were reflected back to the surface. It is the conjunction between the solid iron/nickel core and the fluid core that causes the magnetism and their polar qualities. Without this magnetosphere we would all be subject to cosmic radiation and our atmosphere would be stripped away, much like Mars.
The solid core is theorized to be increasing, decreasing the fluid core. This entropy will eventually solidify all magma and cause the magnetosphere to cease, effectively killing the planet. Time frame for this is 100’s of thousands of years. The Lord will make His return LONG before that happens (hopefully). But from a Biblical perspective, they could coincide, implying that the cooling rate of the fluid core is much faster than theorized.
wow!
and that fraction of a second is enough to generate a magnetic field strong enough to deflect solar particles?
Amazing, is it not? What a wonderful and unique creation with which we live!
If that is true, I wonder if the inside and outside oscillate back and forth against each other
Like the way a swinging door goes back and forth until it stops.
It would explain a lot.
And if it happens until it stops, then you might see the earth end up dry and lifeless like Mars
I suppose that is true, except on a planetary scale with much greater consequences. Minor differences in the cores hard surface might be attenuated given the relative speed difference but what if a proterberance triple the size of Everest existed? That could cause a wave effect that would move continents.
No one has ever used the Bible to predict anything.
Who knows. It’s a fact these shifts have happened in the past so there probably will be one in the future. Man wasn’t around for the last one so we really don’t know what effects it would have. The effects on migratory animals sounds reasonable but beyond that I’d say may be overt unnecessary concern. The earth survived all the shifts in the past, life will go on after the next one (assuming we live that long as a species ourselves; I strongly think He will return wayy before the next is due).
Same here, if I may. ;-)
I lean toward the earth's solid iron core rotating within electromagnetic waves emanating for our sun as also a candidate mechanism behind earth's magnetic field generation and might explain why low solar activity also affects earth's magnetic field strength.
Now put that water in a water bottle and repeat. Water goes nowhere.
Excellent point. It is well proven that the two interact on a spectacular scale (borealis) and that solar winds leave a magnetic trail on the leeward side of the Earth, so there is very valid cause/effect when the Sun goes quiet that the Earth would as well. Much like a sympathetic resonate frequency.
Are you positing that the Earth is a sealed container??? Also, water would go everywhere, inside the bottle. It would get rather violent inside the container.
Considering you have thousands of miles of solid mantle above the outer core where the magnetic fields start to be generated, for the sake of this excercise, it largely is.
Also, water would go everywhere, inside the bottle. It would get rather violent inside the container.
But would not leave the bottle. Your metaphor about water containers. I simply made it better.
But the mantle is not solid. Plate tectonics. The various land masses float on magma. They subduct, diverge and transform. The atmosphere is not sealed either, it radiates into space and is replaced by plants producing oxygen, decaying biological matter as well as other processes. The inner core is only slightly smaller than the Earths moon, making it a rather sizable force. When it talks, the Earth listens.
But would not leave the bottle. Your metaphor about water containers. I simply made it better.
We are also inside the bottle, to continue with the metaphor. That sloshing would be devastating to life on the Earth. Now, put thin pieces of fractile material inside the container as well. When they bounce off of each other they WILL shatter. Lastly, my container example did not have a lid...
For what it's worth, belief or not, ready or not...
Perhaps many polar bears now living up in the artic along with the extra ice will cause the planet to capsize?
