ARCSS-GISP2 Ice Core
The high resolution calcium record from the GISP2 ice core indicates the relative amount of dust in the atmosphere over Greenland and thus documents other abrupt, frequent and massive changes in climate that characterize the glacial portion of the ice core record.
This ice core is thought to be rather unique. It is thought to have never gone through a melt cycle, so the ice has been continuously accumulating.
Originally this core was assigned a time period of around 105,000 - 110,000 years.
I was curious as to what it would show on a timeline of 6000 years, which is the approximate time since the creation of Adam and Eve.
The core drilling began in 1988, so that is where I place the leading edge of the graph.
The trailing edge was lined up at 4000 B.C., giving an approximately 6000 year length.
I did this in CorelDRAW! by setting up a file with a page width of 6000mm, letting me view the graph at 1mm per year. The leading edge of the graph is aligned at 12mm, while the trailing edge is aligned at 6000mm.
I was rather surprised to see how events depicted in both the Bible and in our recorded history lined up. Events such as the volcanic eruptions of Krakatoa and Vesuvius are very clear on the graph. The second largest spike on the graph aligns precisely with the Krakatoa eruption in 535 A.D. The 79 A.D. eruption of Vesuvius is also significant.
The Biblical dates are no less remarkable. To align the Biblical dates I took the current year on the Hebrew calendar and went back from there to their year 0. Then a bit further back to align it with 4000 B.C. brings it to -240 H years. I start at the year 0 for the beginning of the Biblical timeline and set the birth years for Adam through Noah and his sons, and Peleg. Peleg is significant as it was in his days that the earth was divided. The division was the events at Babel described in Genesis chapter 11. In Isaiah chapter 24 verse 1 is described what sounds like a physical pole shift of the earth at this time.
Isaiah 24:1
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
This verse seems to be describing the events of the flood (maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste), and of Babel (and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof). Turning the world upside down is the part that sounds like a physical pole shift of the planet. And the scattering abroad of the inhabitants sounds like the beginnings of continental drift.
The truly amazing thing is, the first very tall spike on the graph, indicating a very dramatic and sudden increase of the dust in the atmosphere, occurs at or around 1953 B.C., the same year that the Chinese calendar began. Coincidentally, Peleg happens to be around fifty years old at the time. Quite a coincidence that the Chinese calendar began at the same time as the confounding of language and speech by God as described in Genesis 11. And this spike is the third tallest on the graph.
As would be expected if the planet actually turned over, there is a sudden increase of dust in the air. This is fairly short lived compared to the other events preceding or following it. One effect of the pole shift was to set the continents in motion. We see the remnants of that initial motion today, although the land masses have slowed considerably over the past 4000 years or so.
The continents would have been moving at their fastest just after the pole shift, so the first land masses to collide would have the greatest amount of energy expended. The formation of the tallest mountain ranges and the largest dust events would be shortly after the shift. And this is what the ice core graph shows. The first couple spikes after the shifts are the most pronounced as far as duration and only a few spikes since has peaked higher.
As the dust increases in the atmosphere the climate cools. And these first spikes after the pole shift have duration of about 500 years combined. That would have been a major ice age.
Further along are the two tallest spikes on the graph. I have identified the first with the eruption of Krakatoa in 535 A.D., but the second and tallest spike I have not been able to identify. However the current data with tree rings suggest that the dust event of 535 A.D. was actually a double event. So my guess would be another very large volcano that surpassed even Krakatoa, or a comet or meteor impact. There are several impact sites to choose from around the globe. But the ice core confirms the tree ring findings.
Other things like the facts that the climate that we enjoy today has only been in the last 800 years or so. Virtually all of our scientific advancements have been made in the last 800 years. This is very clearly shown in the ice core record. The graph evens out between the years 1200 and 1360 A.D. to a very low level of dust, and remains so until the present, indicating a warmer climate and calmer geologically speaking.
I have been able to identify one other event on the graph with our current scientific findings.
In 1997 the comet Hale-Bopp passed by the earth on its way through the solar system. It is a fairly long term comet. The previous passing occurred in 2209 B.C. The ice core graph shows a spike precisely at 2209 B.C., or the Hebrew year 1551. This is just 105 years before the Biblical flood, which happened in the Hebrew year 1656, or 2104 B.C.
The coincidence of the passing of Hale-Bopp and the spike in the graph suggests that Hale-Bopp split and a part impacted the earth. Current scientific findings show Hale-Bopp to be a rather large, misshapen, and unstable comet. And, coincidentally, Noah had his three sons five years later and it is believed that he began construction of the ark at around the same time.
The aforementioned facts lead me to believe that this ice core graph is showing the planetary climatic and geological history over the past 6000 years. It also confirms the historical accuracy of the Bible.
I also believe this ice core record to be the witness in water mentioned in 1 John 5:8.
1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
This ice core directly confirms the historicity of the Bible with current scientific data.

P.S. Ironically, the Jewish people have an oral tradition that says something to the effect of when a comet comes out of Orion; the end of the world is near.
Hale-Bopp comet came out of Orion and passed in 1997, and some of the Jews thought this was that comet. But when it passed and nothing happened they discounted its importance.
Funny thing, but the last time Hale-Bopp passed by the earth was in 2209 B.C., and shortly thereafter was the flood. Noah and his family were the only survivors, because God warned him and Noah built the ark, construction of which began just after the passing of Hale-Bopp comet. And Hale-Bopp passed at the same time that a spike occurred in the ice core graph.
No joke. Just fact.
