Question:
I’m trying to figure out exactly what a polar shift is, and what will happen during one?

the only articles I can find are on two ends of the spectrum.

One is from the “Doomsday” theorists who point to Merlin’s 2012 predictions (even though they don’t know if Merlin was a man or 3 men, and they claim he was born of a woman and a demon.) very reliable, and they point to nostradamus who never predicted 2012. (He said the world would end in 3979 or somewhere around there.)

then on the other end, there’s the scientists who write page after page, single spaced, smallest font possible, using big words in the most boring of fashions… and drawings that make no sense to a layman.

So who here can explain a polar shift?

What evidence is there that a Pole shift would cause mass world destruction, or that it would be instantanious on 12/21/12 at 11:11 when we have not lived through a megnetic pole shift before? how does anyone truly know?

This has always made me wonder since, when I originally heard about this… I heard a magnetic polar shift could take thousands of years to complete, and the effects would barely be noticable… with the acception that, once it’s done (after my time), compasses would point south rather than north.

As 2012 comes closer, everyone is saying a magnetic pole shift will be isntantanious and will cause the end of the world… but I can’t find scientific evidence to back it up.

So hopefully someone more science smart that I am, can explain this in laymans terms.
actually spiritual, I’m well versed in biblical revelation… and those who really, REALLY study revelation, have said there is no proof the white horse has yet come upon earth.

It is believed there will be a an antichrist upon the breaking of the first seal.. .who will come, and there will be a great religious leader who will pontificate for him. (many believe this could be the last pope, which we know to not be the current pope.)

By the 4th seal, the majority of humans on earth will have died from war, famine or mass/world wide proportions, or will have been martyred for being Christians. After all, the fourth horse is ridden by Death and Hades follows.

The cumulative number of deaths in the last 2000 years do not even make up 25% of the world’s humanity, which means we fall very short of what is prophesised by Christ, or in the book of revelations.

Jesus also said that no man will know the time of his return, not even he nor the angels yet know god’s plan.
