Biblical Seismology

Cutaway of planet earth showing hell at the center

But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
(Luke 16:25-26) NKJV

The testimony of Jesus Christ establishes that there’s a great gulf of open space inside the Earth. It’s described in the passage known as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31).

Tehom was Wet. Sheol is Dry

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the relative depth of Noah's flood

and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’
(Luke 16:23, 26) English Standard Version

The space in the interior of the Earth formerly occupied by the great deep is now a great gulf (chasm) of open space that Jesus spoke of in Luke 16:26. The open space is no longer referred to as tehom, it’s now sheol.

Based on Gravitational Interaction

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
(Jeremiah 31:37) KJV

Having a value for Earth’s average density is critical to the popular science (SciPop) model for its internal structure because we can’t see inside the Earth, we can only infer what we think it’s structure may be.

Where is the Gravity in a Comet?

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
(Titus 3:9) KJV

We upset a compromised Christian when we told them they they were defending the popular science paradigm (SciPop). It started when we confronted them about a statement that they make on their website.

Established Science

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

There was a time when we stopped using the phrase cluelessness event horizon because we thought that it was needlessly judgmental. Sadly, it serves such an essential function that it’s here to stay.

I Shall Go to Him

Looking out across the molten core of the earth from a place in the lower mantle

And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who can tell whether the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”
(2 Samuel 12:22-23) NKJV

In his grief over the loss of his first child with Bathsheba David says, “I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” It’s taken to mean that David will one day go to heaven to be with the child, whereas the child, in heaven, can’t return to the Earth.

Great Gulf or Outer Core?

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) New King James Version

Why does Jesus describe a great gulf of open space while popular science (SciPop) has a liquid outer core? It’s a strong delusion so that you’ll believe a lie. The lie is: you don’t need a savior, there’s nothing to be saved from.

The Pillars of the Earth and it’s Original Radius

a comparison of the size of the planet earth on the third day vs. present day

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
(1 Samuel 2:8) KJV

There are some clues for us to be able to figure out the Earth’s former size. This comes from the pillars of the Earth which are part of its internal structure.

The Volume of Earth’s Mantle

For a fire is kindled in My anger, And shall burn to the lowest hell; It shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
(Deuteronomy 32:22) NKJV

It’s very useful to know the volume of material in the Earth’s crust and mantle, but before we move on it’s also worthwhile to note that the Earth’s crust and mantle have several Biblical synonyms.

Present Day Earth

Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry.
(Psalms 18:7) NKJV

With a few pieces of information we can take what we know about the Earth today and use them to deduce what the Earth was like in the past. This is the alternative to using Uniformitarianism and assuming that things were the same in the past.
