Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The power to rule over the world belongs now to our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever!”
God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the Covenant Box was seen there. Then there were flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
(Revelation 11:15, 19) Good News Translation
This is not another earthquake, it is the ongoing earthquake that is the reshaping of the surface of the Earth in preparation for the Millennial Kingdom.
There is a very literal way to look at the statement, “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,” which is that the continents will be physically moved into contact with each other, so that they once again form a super-continent. This was the case at the end of the third day of creation, and it remained that way until the formation of the tectonic plates in the time of Peleg. This is Hypothesis 35.
The mainstream science paradigm (SciPop) is in alignment on this point, and the original super-continent even has a name: Pangaea. All of the land surface of the Earth will be moved into position around Jerusalem at the center. The land will be flattened out, and Jerusalem will be lifted up so that the entire surface of the dry ground will be a gentle incline towards the summit, Jerusalem.
This is where we, that’s me and the Holy spirit, have gotten to by considering all of the scripture that we’ve looked at so far. Our image today is an idea towards understanding the physical size of the Millennial Kingdom. So here are the highlights of our reasoning so far:
- The Earth’ radius during the Millennial Kingdom will be about 10,795 Km.
- This number is derived by calculating the volume of stellar material that will be added to the Earth during the tribulation.
In circumscribing the size of the Millennial Kingdom we have to consider the following:
- Everyone can see the summit of the mountain (Jerusalem) from wherever they are.
- THEREFORE
- Earth’s surface can’t have curvature.
- Earth’s surface is an inclined plane with a gradient that everyone can walk up.
- THEREFORE
We chose to draw the flat surface of the Earth, from the summit to a point where a 45 degree angle intersects with the circumference, for aesthetic reasons. However, it turns out to have been a pretty good guess for the following reason:
- The area of a cone
- with a radius of 7,500 Km
- and a height of 3,300 Km
- is 3.7E+8 Km
- The land mass of the present day Earth is 3.15E+8 Km
The entire habitable portion of the surface of the Earth, as it is today, will fit into the area we’ve described in the diagram as the Millennial Kingdom.
I’m looking at this material, which I wrote, for the umpteenth time now. When I wrote this in November 2017 I was employed. Since then the events of my life have been nothing but miraculous. I was expecting to look at this material and cringe. I figured that I had grown so much and my ideas had solidified in the years that have passed that I may need to revise a lot of it. I have to say that looking at this again, given what I now know about the rest of the story, I believe that my reasoning is sound and it doesn’t need to be changed.
Salvation
- Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
- believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
- confess your sin.
