Miocene

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
(Psalms 50:9-12) KJV

The Miocene is the Miocene because it’s the Miocene. Anything that’s not characteristic of the Miocene is assigned to something other than the Miocene. It’s a little microcosm of circular reasoning.

He Who Removes Mountains

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?— he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger, who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.
(Job 9:4-10) ESV

This is Part of Job’s response to Bildad. He’s talking about tectonic upheaval. He was contemporaneous with Abraham, so only 200 or so years have passed since the tectonic breakup of Pangaea.

The Foundations of the World

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
(Psalms 18:15) KJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) illustrate a difference between the Hebrew erets (earth), and tebel (world). The foundations of the world (tebel) refers to the crust and mantle which was exposed as the ocean floor.

In a new study, a team of scientists announced it has discovered the world’s oldest fossils, dating back some 3.77 billion years (and possibly as far back as 4.28 billion years).

The Mount of Olives

Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
(Zechariah 14:3-4) KJV

We can pull together several loose threads we have which describe an old and a new hydrological system, the great deep and a new deep.

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.

Original article

Scientists say number of severe quakes is likely to rise strongly next year because of a periodic slowing of the Earth’s rotation.

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.

Pangaea 2.0

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
(Isaiah 2:1-2) KJV

The mountain of the Lord’s house will be established and “all nations will flow to it,” isn’t flowery poetic language. It’s as literal as literal can get – if we’re willing to accept it and understand what’s involved.
