Is there a correlation between major earthquakes and the Earth's rotation?
Scientists say 'yes' and that spells trouble for 2018.
Detailing their findings in a recently published paper, Roger Bilham and Rebecca Bendick discovered:
The Earth's rotation slows periodically
-This change in rotation is almost imperceptible yet releases underground energy
-The slowdown signals a five-year 'warning period' of predictable earthquake activity
-Apparently, 2017 marks the fourth year since the Earth's rotation slowed imperceptibly meaning
2018 = earthquakes.
The researchers concede that the relationship is still a mystery and yet insist it is quite apparent.
"The correlation between Earth's rotation and earthquake activity is strong and suggests there is going to be an increase in number of intense earthquakes next year," said Bilham.
"It is straight forward," Bilham insists. "The earth is offering us a five-year heads-up on future earthquakes."
Bilham believes, "Next year we should see a significant increase in numbers of severe earthquakes. We have it easy this year. So far we have only had about six severe earthquakes. We could easily have 20 a year starting in 2018."
Upsurge in big earthquakes predicted in 2018...
Yikes.
A wise man once said: "The earth continually has 'birth pangs' today. (see Romans 8:22); during the Tribulation, these sorrows will increase in intensity and frequency until Jesus returns" --Len Woods, Th.M.
"Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. All these are the beginning of birth pains" -- Matthew 24:7

No, the earth's rotation doesn't not slow PERIODICALLY. It changes over time. From Wikipedia:
Atomic clocks show that a modern-day is longer by about 1.7 milliseconds than a century ago,[1] slowly increasing the rate at which UTC is adjusted by leap seconds. Analysis of historical astronomical records shows a slowing trend of 2.3 milliseconds per century since the 8th century BCE.[2]
