If you have ever done any navigating by the use of map and compass, you know that magnetic north isn't true north.
Magnetic north is slowly moving, and some scientists think that the Earth's magnetic poles actually reverse every 10,000 to million years or so.
While the poles are reversing themselves, there may be a time when there is more than one North or South Pole. How is that for confusing? The good news is that the switch shouldn't cause a catastrophe. But if you are counting on your compass when it happens…you could end up in the opposite direction.
The same can be true if your spiritual poles reverse themselves. That's why Scripture calls us to, "set your minds and keep them set on what is above, not on the things that are on the Earth."
