If the earth were literally moved from its current location and orbit, that would certainly cause the prophesied events of the heavens shaking, the earth reeling to and fro as a drunken man, the stars falling from the heavens, and the sun being darkened. This is all part of the creation of a new heaven and a new earth prophesied by John, ’And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away’ (Rev 21:1).
“When the earth was framed and brought into existence and man was placed upon it, it was near the throne of our Father in heaven…When man fell, the earth fell into space, and took up its abode in this planetary system…This is the glory the earth came from, and when it is glorified it will return again unto the presence of the Father.” (Journal of Discourses, 17:143 as taken from Commentaries on Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, ed. by K. Douglas Bassett, [American Fork, UT: Covenant Publishing Co., 2003], 204)
