Let the Earth be Moved

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
(Psalm 99:1-9) KJV

We started November and our study of the Millennial Kingdom in the book of Isaiah. All of the passages that we have looked at have come from either Isaiah and the prophets or the book of Revelation. However there is at least one older reference to the idea that the earth will be moved and shaken, and the Lord will rule from his Holy mountain high above the people, Psalm 99.

November 20th

The phrase "the four corners of the earth" only occurs in the context of the millennial kingdom.

Foursquare

So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
(Ezekiel 40:47) KJV

And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
(Revelation 21:16) KJV

God’s a plan involves us going into eternity in a city which has equal X and Y dimensions, since we’ve satisfied the requirements of a spherical Earth, we’ll model the Millennial Kingdom as foursquare.

The Earth is Moved Exceedingly

The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
(Isaiah 24:19-23) KJV

The earth is moved exceedingly? Since I first began to think that the Bible is teaching us that the earth is stationary I have wondered about this passage, and there are a few others like it. If the earth moves, how can it be stationary?

Great Hail

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
(Revelation 8:12) KJV

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
(Revelation 16:21) KJV

A lot of things are happening at once when we hear the seventh trumpet sound. The church will be caught up into the clouds while the intensity of stars falling from heaven reaches incredible proportions.

The Waters Shall Be Healed

And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?”
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, and enters the sea; when the water flows into the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.
(Ezekiel 47:6-9) ESV

Ezekiel describes water flowing from the temple in Jerusalem which will heal everything that it touches. It’s necessary after the devastation of Earth during the tribulation. Fish will thrive again.

Every Living Soul Died In The Sea

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
(Revelation 16:1-3) KJV

In order to account for the vast volume of stellar material that is going to fall from the heavens during the tribulation I have calculated that the earth’s radius is going to increase from 6,371 Km to approximately 10,975 Km.

Cut Out Without Hands

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
(Daniel 2:34-35) KJV

We’ve identified all of the forces and energy we need to bring about the fulfillment of prophecy for the tribulation but let’s not forget: God’s will be done. The Lord is the causal factor.

The Voice of One

As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
(Luke 3:4-6) KJV

How does geometry interact with prophecy? The dry land will be a gently sloping incline: a great mountain. From any point on Earth the temple in Jerusalem will be directly visible.

The Angel of the Bottomless Pit

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
(Revelation 9:3-12) KJV

Something that doesn’t get discussed very often is this terrifying description of horse-sized armor-plated locusts with scorpion tails that are going to emerge from within the earth when the impact of Wormwood splits the crust open.

The Weight of a Talent

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
(Revelation 16:21) KJV

Can we calculate a new planetary radius for the Millennial Kingdom based on what Revelation tells us about how much stellar material will fall to Earth? How many stars are there? What’s the weight of a talent?
