    No earthquakes in "new world" = dead earth

    We live on a living planet. The magnetic field is vital to the ability of Earth to retain its atmosphere and oceans in the face of the solar wind. The magnetic field is produced by the interior of the planet, produced by the convection of liquid iron in the outer core. That convection also results in volcanoes and plate tectonics. The latter produces earthquakes. "God" putting an end to earthquakes ultimately means no liquid iron in the core, no magnetic field, no atmosphere, no liquid water. New system earth = dead Mars. Yay!!

    On the other hand, I have heard some Bethelites talking about continental drift in the new world bringing together all the continents as they were in the "beginning". So I would guess the earthquakes will be absolutely stupendous in the "new system".

    Option #1

    You: Please identify a time in all of human history where there were no earthquakes.

    Them: But there are MORE earthquakes!

    You: That isn't what the bible says. It just says...

    Matt 24:7

    For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

    You: Notice that the things mentioned have been going on for all of human history. Nothing has changed.

    Option #2 (my favorite): Don't answer the door and enjoy a quiet and peaceful Saturday morning sipping a fresh cup of coffee.

    How about this one...

    "Surely one of these earthquakes will cause the King of the North to identify himself, the UN will rise up as the Eighth King, and somebody will destroy Babylon the Great... right?"
