Pilots, boaters adjust to shift in magnetic north

There have been a couple other articles recently about the changing magnetic poles.  Apparently both the north and south magnetic poles have picked up speed in recent years as they glide off to different positions.  As this article suggests, this movement may not be anything to worry about, that this is simply all very normal. One quote from the article says that this movement may simply slow down in a decade or two.

Well what if it doesn't?  There simply aren’t enough empirical records that go back far enough to know if this pole movement is just a common occurrence that happens every few hundred years or so, or if it is something entirely different.  If this isn't a common occurrence, then what else could it be?  Some are suggesting, (see previous blog entries on this site), that this may be the beginning of a full-scale pole shift.  We simply can't say if this is true or not.  However there is a very interesting passage in the bible that may be telling us something about this bizarre occurrence and where it may ultimately lead.

In both the book of Revelation and the book of Matthew, we seem to be told that the actual length of the days will be shortened at the very end of the Tribulation period.  Could this be caused by a sudden and dramatic shift of the poles, causing an entire change in the revolution of the Earth into a 16 hour day rather than a 24 hour day?

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Revelation 8:12 KJV


And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Matthew 24:22 KJV


From the article:

Why is magnetic north shifting?  The Earth's core of hot liquid iron is constantly moving. That motion, combined with forces such as the Earth's rotation, dictate the position of magnetic north, not to be confused with geographic north, or the North Pole.  "Magnetic north is shifting all the time; it's a continuous process, not an event," said Jeffrey Love, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey Geomagnetism Program, based in Golden, Colo.  Over the past century, the shift has been increasing in speed. It went from creeping as slow as nine miles per year in the early 1900s to more than 35 miles per year in the 2000s. However, that acceleration also is part of natural cycle, Love said.  "In 10 to 20 years from now, it might be slowing down," he said.
