Hello Chance and Doves,
Yes, we believe that when millions are raised up in the Rapture, it will traumatize the Earth. We only know of physical energy and matter, like E=MC2. But, just imagine the spiritual energies released when the Holy Spirit fulfills this ultimate goal, as described in Revelation 4 - 6.
Those left on planet Earth will have to experience this:
Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel”—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“My wrath will flare up. I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before Me. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. (Ezekiel 38:17-20)

Hello Jim and Doves,There have been other letters to Doves over the years about a huge earthquake occurring at the time of the Rapture - a huge amount of energy would go in to raising the dead and changing the mortal to immortal. Your article gives examples of similar 'energy' - like the Great Flood. The other examples appear to be more 'localized' - the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, Paul and Silas in prison, etc. But all show the power of God. And they also show He uses global AND 'localized' earthquakes to fulfill His will.The author of your article wrote, "But perhaps the greatest earthquake of all time - a planet-wide shaking event, will be the disappearance of millions of people."
