The verse is the correct answer! However, the explanation you have between parentheses is only one interpretation of what "earth reduction" means. I find it a far fetched interpretation. A more.likely interpretation in my humble opinion is the increasing scientific observation that earth mass is slowly shrinking
That's exactly what I also think.
The explanation between the parentheses is added to the verse as I found it in " searchtruth". I didn't like to delete it.
