And then?

The Tectonic Slide

For years it’s been going on. You may have thought that As the World Turns was just a Soap Opera. Well, of course, you would have been correct in the limited sense of the phrase. But, for those more scientifically inclined, it refers to what actually happens to the earth as it turns. It’s been going on for millions of years, according to scientists in the know.

As the earth turns it puts great pressure on the tectonic plates lying on the bed of the earth’s molten core. These plates have been crunching together for years. In some cases the result has been mountain ranges along the eastern and western edges of our North American continent. In other cases it involves great cracks or rifts between plates, which try to shift to the North or the South as a result of the great pressures involved. I call these two phenomena The War of the Plates…

The former events occurred thousand, even million years ago as mountains rose around the globe. The latter is a more recent series of events which continue to occur around the world and are exhibited in explosive events called earthquakes. For years, scientists have tried to predict when these events would occur, with little success, even though they used various monitoring techniques that appeared to report accurately the many small changes that happen over time along these earthquake zones.

What is happening represents the natural evolution of our planet as it ages and travels through space. It is a result of the forces of nature and unknown factors in space that are in conflict. Or is it God’s planned correction to His creation that we’ve seen before?

As astronomers and other space scientists continue their studies of the true nature of space and it’s make up, they will discover a currently unrecognized element that makes up the fabric of space existing between all known stars, planets, cosmic dust, particles and other elements.

I will call this other element the “anti-grave” force. It is the force that exerts friction on the surface of the earth as it turns, resulting in the shift of the tectonic plates relative to the molten core beneath. If not unchecked, this activity will eventually rip the tectonic plates from the surface of earth and hurl them spinning out into space, resulting in a second asteroid belt coursing around the sun. Earth will then become much like the planet Mercury with its searingly hot surface. The human race, if it has not succeeded in colonizing other planets in our, or in other solar systems, will likely disappear in the process. It goes without saying that what is left of the tectonic plates, as they course around the sun in their new orbit, will not be individually large enough to maintain an atmosphere of necessary oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen required to support any type of life beyond the level of the most basic microbes.

And God said “Noah, I command you to build an arc... for I will cause great rains to cover the earth with waters.” Before the tectonic plates rip loose and the earth is consumed by fire, a new Noah will be instructed to build a space arc to save those few remaining faithful to God and his commandments. Do you believe in His awesome power to save us? Space awaits… are you ready?
