When a molten metal is cooled, the normally random aligned magnetic field atoms, are aligned if a magnetic field is applied. It can then become a bar magnet and be called a permanent magnet.

The earth has a small magnetic field, and when molten rock from magma and plate tectonics forms the earth crust flow and cool and then retain a magnetic field from the earth. That magnetic field can be measured by scientists. As the magma flows to form the surface crust of the earth, it forms regions of magnetic polarity, which is the north or south oriented field regions.

"A transform boundary is like a tear in the Earth's crust. These plates move very slowly across the surface of the Earth as though they were on a conveyor belt. The convection currents in the much hotter mantle continually move the plates about 1/2 to 4 inches per year." How Earth's Plates Move Lesson #3

Scientist have found that the field from north to south of the earth switch back and forth every half a million years or so. Why is this? I'm not sure scientists know why, but they say the switching can happen over thousands of years to a year or so.

"The last reversal was about 780,000 years ago. Reversals are not instantaneous; they happen over a period of hundreds to thousands of years, though recent research indicates that at least one reversal could have taken place over a period of one year." Is it true that Earth's magnetic field occasionally reverses its polarity? | U.S. Geological Survey

We are overdue or due for a polarity switch, does that mean that the earth stops spinning or the north pole changes to the south pole? Or does it mean that the inside of the earth with the magnetic molten metals in the core somehow switch and the earth remains aligned proper north and south. Or is there some other explanation?

Does this apply to revelation, I recently had a vision of Jesus in heaven opening the 7th seal. Now I wonder about these events.

Thoughts?

Lots of thoughts. But they are scientific rather than theological -- with one exception. You ask "Does this apply to revelation." I answer "No."

I was recently thinking about some physics I had studied for my theory. And I realized there is a stronger electric field to the earth from free electrons around the surface and in the lightning dynamics than the weaker magnetic field of the earth. I believe it is Faraday's Law that shows the mixed relationship between electric and magnetic fields. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

Does that mean that the earths electric field could be aligning the liquid magma atoms that cool into regions of magnetic polarity? The creation of the earth's crust into magnetic field regions could be very slow, and the individual atom quantization of the magnetic polarity could create a more north than south orientation depending on electric field orientations around the surface of the earth. I also know that lightning discharges into the surface from cloud regions, and could that be charging the crust and aligning the magnetic field of the lava? I also know that large lightning strikes exist within volcanic eruptions. Although volcanic eruptions are very different than crust creation from lava fault lines.

I now am considering that from Faraday's laws of induction, that either a strong electric or magnetic field might be the culprit creating these alternating magnetic field lines.

I am also now considering that there is a possibility that geomagnetic storms from solar radiation from the sun might also play a part in the magnetic field polarity switches, although further calculations on my part are necessary to consider if it is indeed a possibility.

Other ideas?

Thank you for your speculation. I'm not sure what basis it has in reality considering the factual information of measuring alternating magnetic field lines in cooled magma. Can you provide some factual basis for that speculation please.

What speculation of mine are you referring to?

There appeared to be two speculations in your post statements.

The first that my post was scientific rather than theologic. The book of Revelation is often mis-interpreted, I see that repeated almost obsessively in the Eschatology & Prophecy Forum. I'm not sure what value theology has in the first place to this discussion. Let's take a look at what theology is:

"The meaning of THEOLOGY is the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; especially : the study of God and of God's relation to the world."

Now let's examine the witness "evidence" of the bible such as the resurrection and death of Jesus the Christ. In a court of law there is witness evidence accepted as fact unless proven flawed. Now I certainly believe that Jesus died and was resurrected and also resurrected many people after his resurrection. And I'll stop there to keep the discussion short. Is that theology?

There are also prophecies that God has provided to his witnessed down here on earth and some are recorded in the Bible testimony. I believe them as witness factual information. The book of Revelation which is mostly parable and symbolism does not disclose the actual truth of what those prophecies mean. There are however some disclosures from John the Revelator and God as to the meaning of at least one such visions. But the rest is left un-disclosed by God and John the revelator as to the true and factual meaning of the prophecies. Now I believe that visons are similar to dreams in nature and not a obvious but rather hidden meaning thru symbolism and parable. Such as Joseph in Egypt, when the Pharaoh had a dream that no one could interpret, so Joseph went to God and God provided the meaning of the dream which was seven years of feast and famine. (Genesis 41?)

The second statement in your post that appeared to be speculation was does the earth's magnetic field alternating banding relate to revelation? With the above information I provided I must also conclude that the second statement was also speculation.

Let me elaborate: If the earth had a magma issue of switching between north and south, could that cause some of the descriptions in the book of revelation?

Now clearly, knowing that the book of Revelation is vision and the meaning is hidden, any answers that might provide some meaning that wasn't disclosed by God and John the Revelator would then appear only as speculation, like the answer you gave me: "Does this apply to revelation. I answer No." Now could you have received some understanding of those visions from God? I simply can't discern. And would probably have to hear it from God himself to believe your "No" answer. So to me at this point I must say that your answer is speculation to me. Does that make sense?

But honestly, after having to be long winded to answer your simple question, I wasn't really looking to have that conversation but rather some speculation about the magnetic band polarity switching. And thanks for your answer about Revelation, you think it doesn't apply.

Simply stated, I don't see how the earth's magnetic pulses have anything whatsoever to do with what is in the Book of Revelation. Call it speculation if you wish. I would call the converse -- that there IS a relationship between the two -- speculation.

I've heard about this for years. There's a video from a long time ago with a guy talking about it and giving way to paranoia.

I think that what cause some to consider reversals are rather leftovers from the flood. They point to sections of rock layers in the Atlantic Ocean mid-ocean ridge. Though if this tearing open of the crust were due to water releasing from below the crust under pressure, it just might flip over some rocks. And the other 'evidence' they pointed to, at least what I'm aware of, is similar to this.

I think, personally, that at the 6th seal, the earth will be restored to a 360 day orbit, due to the close pass of a celestial body, which will also block the sun, eclipsing the moon, and so forth. Likely return the axis to not tilt, I think.

Much love!

Earth's axis is already on a tilt at her poles. Years ago the quake in Japan(?) moved her axis a small number of degrees. That doesn't sound like a lot until we realize we're talking about a planet!

I'd think that would have some impact on the polarity and fields the OP refers to. I also think climates changes from the usual could be a result.

It's all very exciting. :)

Either way,it all sounds like it is going to be an interesting future.

I often wonder about that also, near earth bodies of mass. I've read that scientists think there are rogue planets that roam the universe. And some of the ancient cultures talk about bulls and dragons as celestial bodies coming near the earth. Comets with tails and horns and such.

Thanks, that's the response I was hoping to find. It was also fun to dig up the old articles on the issues in the OP.

There was a Russian scientist, Emmanuel Velikovsky, he wrote Worlds in Collision (astronomic evidence), Earth in Upheaval (geological evidence), and Ages in Chaos (historical evidence) of Venus entering the solar system, making passes by various planets including Earth and Mars, before settling into it's orbit.

He shows this relating to the flood, the Exodus, Joshua's Long Day, like that. On that particular one he found the history from South America showed a Long Night. Stuff like that. Very interesting! He does a very thourough job of research.

Much love!
