Theologies and ideologies are simply speculations; absolutely no proof exists that any of these claims have "scientific" backing. "Scientific" was originally used to translate the Greek word epistemonikos into the English phrase "making knowledge" in Aristotle's "Ethics." This could insinuate that all of scientifically supported documentation and proposed theology is simply fabricated concepts that have come to be accepted and trusted by a majority vote of "scientists" throughout the world. By vastly accepting "truths" and restricting the mind's ability to "think outside the box", some may claim to be currently thinking outside the box. I am proposing a much larger box housing these other meek and inferior boxes and those claiming to be actively participating in...not implying that those individuals are lacking intelligence, I am just simply exploring other deeper possibilities with a much broader spectrum of outcomes.
There is a book that has been in circulation for many centuries that the Christian faith refers to as the Bible. As stated previously, I am not claiming to be a scholar of any concepts discussed by any other person on the surface of the earth; but I am a "thinker", even possibly a philosopher (def. A person who offers views or theories on profound questions in ethics, metaphysics, logic, and other related fields). From understanding of current knowledge that I have obtained throughout my lifetime, I have one question that nearly every person alive or dead has pondered; what will be the end of the earth? Please continue reading with a completely un-biased view, if possible.
The interpretations, visions, recorded events, and possibilities of the Bible bring to question one idea in my mind, "armageddon". For some reason or another, this word is typically capitalized indicating some importance. In my opinion, the battle of good vs. evil is not the focal point; the main interest should be the end of this war on earth, the return of Jesus Christ.
Let's start our discussion on an interpretation of the word "pacific". Latin derivation of this word is "to make peace", "tending to diminish or put an end to conflict", or "suited to make or restore peace".
Jerusalem is a city in Israel which is considered by Christians to be the "Holy Land". This is the place where the final battle between good and evil is prophesized to take place. In biblical scripture, God will rule with an "iron rod". I am proposing a parallel correlation that this iron rod be the center of the earth. This solid iron center could very well represent this biblical reference. In the Bible, God promises he will not destroy humanity with water, after the great flood of Noah's time. Instead, there will be an eternal lake of fire and brimstone.
Ring of Fire is defined as "an extensive zone of volcanic and seismic activity that coincides roughly with the borders of the Pacific Ocean". By putting this definition together with the concepts of the two previous paragraphs, I am proposing a concept that the pacific plate will be engulfed by the center of the earth and the iron core will emerge on the opposite side; directly on the opposite side of this plate is where the city Jerusalem is located.
For the surface of the earth to become susceptible to this rapid increase in temperature (0° to 1000°), water must be reduced on the surface. As we see due to the current climate, the polar ice caps are beginning to melt into the sea. Many fear this activity will cause the coastal cities to become destroyed or affected in some negative way. If a rise in temperature is causing this melting chiasm, where will the excessive water end up? If the earth's temperature does continue to increase, this would cause evaporation to be a driving force in replacement (or displacement) of the earth's water supply. If water is progressively transported inland by tropical storms as well as other vaporization methods, and human consumption continues to increase due population growth, these natural cycles will be disturbed and water will not return to the seas. As the water is decreased in the oceans and seas, that will cause these plates or "crust" to become subject to extreme temperatures.
For centuries, humans have been observing continual cycles of destruction and regeneration of the earth's surface by many different methods such as terrestrial volcanic activity and subterranean volcanic ejection that continually forms islands such as Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands. There are several derivations of the great hot-spot called "Hawaii" that must be brought to attention: habito - dwell, reside/take possession; habitus - disposed, in a certain condition; hac (fem. Sing. Abl.) He who lives BY THIS (the sword); hac - this side, this way, here; hactenus - up to this point, so far; haec hec (fem. Plur. Nom.) THIS (sword); haereticum - heretical; hanc - (fem. Sing. Acc.) She wasted THIS (her youth); harum (fem. Plur. Gen.) The city wall had four OF THESE (gates); has (fem. Plur. Acc.) They gave THESE (their lives) for the Faith).
The above derivations contribute to the main discussion of this publication. Four gates, sword, heretical, and lives for Faith, all make direct reference to the Bible in some way or another. Revelation chapter 6 contains reference to every single phrase. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seals identify four horses, on which the riders were granted power; to conquer, and to kill with sword, hunger, death, and by beasts of the earth. The 5th seal identifies an altar under of which the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held, "martyrs", or those who gave their lives for their Faith.
"She wasted THIS (her youth)" symbolizes God's people, the faithful remnant of Old-Covenant Israel, many of those who which denied Jesus Christ as their Messiah. The number "4" is also used in Revelation 7:1; "After these things I saw your angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree." The four winds of the earth are that of which evil forces of devastation are controlled by four angels.
The seventh seal in Revelation 8 describes seven trumpets that were given to seven angels. The first trumpet, Revelation 8:7 reads, "The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up." The ratio of ground to water on the earth's surface is 1:3. Revelation 8:8-9, "Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed." Revelation 6:14, "Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place." The Pacific Ocean represents 1/3 of the total earth's surface. Remember, Hawaii is roughly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. A great mountain burning with fire being thrown "into" the sea supports this hypothesis that the Pacific Plate implodes on the earth. Also, if Pangaea separation theology is true, the separation of the continents would support this movement toward the center of the Pacific Plate. Revelation 8:10 describing the third trumpet reads, "Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water." Since the earth's surface is two thirds water, the third affected by this star could indicate this one third of the land surface.
I am not suggesting Hawaii will be the starting point for this recession of the earth's surface, for instance, these derivations directly correlate with the Polynesian Islands. This relationship is determined by the term Haida'gwai'i, very similar linguistically to Hawai'i (homeland). Therein claiming some area near the Polynesian Islands could be the first portion of the earth's surface to follow the emerging iron core; this core hypothesized to be a ferric crystalline structure somewhere close to 4300°C.
A Seismic Adventure
There's a giant crystal buried deep within the Earth, at the very center, more than 3,000 miles down. It may sound like the latest fantasy adventure game or a new Indiana Jones movie, but it happens to be what scientists discovered in 1995 with a sophisticated computer model of Earth's inner core. This remarkable finding, which offers plausible solutions to some perplexing geophysical puzzles, is transforming what Earth scientists think about the most remote part of our planet.
"To understand what's deep in the Earth is a great challenge," says geophysicist Lars Stixrude. "Drill holes go down only 12 kilometers, about 0.2 percent of the Earth's radius. Most of the planet is totally inaccessible to direct observation." What scientists have pieced together comes primarily from seismic data. When shock waves from earthquakes ripple through the planet, they are detected by sensitive instruments at many locations on the surface. The record of these vibrations reveals variations in their path and speed to scientists who can then draw inferences about the planet's inner structure. This work has added much knowledge over the last ten years, including a puzzling observation: Seismic waves travel faster north-south than east-west, about four seconds faster pole-to-pole than through the equator.
This finding, confirmed only within the past two years, quickly led to the conclusion that Earth's solid-iron inner core is "anisotropic" -- it has a directional quality, a texture similar to the grain in wood, that allows sound waves to go faster when they travel in a certain direction. What, exactly, is the nature of this inner-core texture? To this question, the seismic data responds with sphinx-like silence. "The problem," says Ronald Cohen of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, "is then we're stymied. We know there's some kind of structure, the data tells us that, but we don't know what it is. If we knew the sound velocities in iron at the pressure and temperature of the inner core, we could get somewhere." To remedy this lack of information, Stixrude and Cohen turned to the CRAY C90 at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.
Getting to the Core
Don't believe Jules Verne. The center of the Earth is not a nice place to visit, unless you like hanging out in a blast furnace. The outer core of the Earth, about two-thirds of the way to the center, is molten iron. Deeper yet, at the inner core, the pressure is so great -- 3.5 million times surface pressure -- that iron solidifies, even though the temperature is believed to exceed 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than the surface of the sun.
Despite rapid advances in high-pressure laboratory techniques, it's not yet possible to duplicate these conditions experimentally, and until Stixrude and Cohen's work, scientists could at best make educated guesses about iron's atom-to-atom architecture -- its crystal structure -- at the extremes that prevail in the inner core. Using a quantum-based approach called density-functional theory, Stixrude and Cohen set out to do better than an educated guess. With recent improvements in numerical techniques, density-functional theory had predicted iron's properties at low pressure with high accuracy, leading the researchers to believe that with supercomputing they could, in effect, reach 3,000 miles down into the inner core and pull out what they needed.
Rethinking Inner Earth
On Earth's surface, iron comes in three flavors, standard crystalline forms known to scientists as body-centered cubic (bcc), face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp). Working with these three structures as their only input, Stixrude and Cohen carried out an extensive study -- more than 200 separate calculations over two years -- to determine iron's quantum-mechanical properties over a range of high pressures. "Without access to the C90," says Stixrude, "this work would have taken so long it wouldn't have been done."
Prevalent opinion before these calculations held that iron's crystal structure in the inner core was bcc. To the contrary, the calculations showed, bcc iron is unstable at high pressure and not likely to exist in the inner core. For the other two candidates, fcc and hcp, Stixrude and Cohen found that both can exist at high pressure and both would be directional (anisotropic) in how they transmit sound. Hcp iron, however, gives a better fit with the seismic data. All this was new information, but even more surprising was this: To fit the observed anisotropy, the grain-like texture of the inner core had to be much more pronounced than previously thought."Hexagonal crystals have a unique directionality," says Stixrude, "which must be aligned and oriented with Earth's spin axis for every crystal in the inner core." This led Stixrude and Cohen to try a computational experiment. If all the crystals must point in the same direction, why not one big crystal? The results, published in Science, offer the simplest, most convincing explanation yet put forward for the observed seismic data and have stirred new thinking about the inner core.
Could an iron ball 1,500 miles across be a single crystal? Unheard of until this work, the idea has prompted realization that the temperature-pressure extremes of the inner core offer ideal conditions for crystal growth. Several high-pressure laboratories have experiments planned to test these results. A strongly oriented inner core could also explain anomalies of Earth's magnetic field, such as tilted field lines near the equator. "To do these esoteric quantum calculations," says Stixrude, "solutions which you can get only with a supercomputer, and get results you can compare directly with messy observations of nature and help explain them -- this has been very exciting."

The preceding article, with references from publications in the world renowned "Science" journal, provides justifiable evidence that the concepts I am proposing are philosophical, theoretical, and ideological.
This ferric "crystalline" structure could be clear as glass. It may simply be coincidence that the Latin word ferrum, meaning iron, has an oxidation number of +3, denoted iron (III), or Fe3+. Ironically, this directly correlates with the Biblical reference of the Holy Trinity, (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit).
Examine the "mark of the beast" - 666. After extensive study and elaborate research of past and current publications, I came upon a particular article describing various volcanoes located around or within this "Great Hot Spot". Hawaii and It's Volcanoes, by Charles Henry Hitchcock, describing the island Kilauea (after 1894 A.D.) provided another interesting statistic pertinent to the discussion presented in this publication. It reads, "July 28-31 (1896 A.D.). English geologist, W.D.B. says, Crater, 1,500 feet across; depth to fire, six hundred and fifty to six hundred and seventy feet ..." the number 666 falls within these boundaries of 650 to 670 feet, which I am suggesting could be one possible focal point of this implosion suggested, as well as relating, in some way, to 666 - the mark of the beast.
The word Armageddon comes from the Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Har Megiddo (the Hebrew prefix Har means "hill" or "mountain"). If implosion of the pacific plate is a result of the iron core being drawn out from within (Ill. 1 & 1.1), it is very possible this central crystalline sphere could take form of this hill so commonly referred to as "Megiddo".
The Arabian plate is the plate upon where the city of Jerusalem sits, also, the fault line between the African plate and the Arabian plate forms a perfect line under the Promised Land. (Ill. 2) This concept can be further illustrated by comparing an artist interpretation of fault lines with a satellite image of the region. (Ill. 3)
"This city is one of the most sought after locations and has been the focus of religious war for centuries. In northern Israel lies a legendary site, perhaps the world's most contested piece of territory. Bible prophecy tells us it will once again be a focal point for a battle almost beyond comprehension." (McNeeley, 2006) There in fact may be something deeper below Megiddo that IS this great deception. Scripture repeatedly states God will come in a cloud on a white horse with the sound of trumpets and loud thunder. Is it possible this thunder could be represented by this implosion opposite the Promised Land, Jerusalem? "And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name." (Revelation 15:2) This verse may be referencing to the crystalline iron center of the earth, and molten matter under the earth's crust. When Satan's reign begins, it is promised that the land will be desolate as wilderness, and will be of new form. If the dense iron core is raised to the surface of the earth, this would create an extremely unbalanced sphere and would result in a wobble effect, a new earth with a new form could cause orbital shift and result in the earth being cast into a new orbit for an undetermined time length or even several rotations around the "center of the universe".
