Joel 2: 31; Acts 2:20; and Rev. 6:12 is soon to be
fulfilled.
The sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn blood red
"BEFORE the great
and terrible day of the LORD come"
Revelation 8:12 tells us that 1/3
of our daylight will be diminished.
"I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken
the earth in the clear day:"
Amos 8: 9 and Amos 5: 8; and Matthew 24:29;
and Isaiah 13:10; and Ezekiel 32:7; and Joel 2:10.
Because of idolatry ... " they sacrificed unto devils, not
to God;
to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom
your fathers feared not.
Of the ROCK that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast
forgotten God that formed thee ...
For a fire is kindled in Mine anger, and shall burn unto the
lowest hell,
and shall consume the earth with her increase, and
set on fire the foundation of the mountains"
Deuteronomy 32: 17--22
Even pagans know that " the gods " are angry when a
volcano flares.
How much more can we so discern who know the Living God, our
ROCK.

Introduction:
Scientists note extreme disturbance in earth's core and mantel --
Feb. 24, 2005
According to some computer models, the outer core and the
mantel is getting extremely heated. This can
cause extreme tension on the earth’s crust and the
tectonic plates.
The net result can be increased earthquakes and volcanoes.
The reports coming from every continent says that the
volcanoes, geysers and mud volcanoes all are ready to explode.

One
third of US "most dangerous" volcanoes do not have
monitoring devices -- Oct. 26, 2004
According to the Smithsonian Institution (news
- web
sites), 172 U.S. volcanos have been active within the past
10,000 years and many have erupted within the past 200 years,
sometimes repeatedly, Quick said.
"About 70, we feel, are truly dangerous volcanos, which
means they would pose a threat to people or property on the
ground or aircraft in the air," Quick said.
The Cascade volcanos should be monitored more heavily
because of their proximity to population," Quick said.

New Geyser ( Easter eruption) now world's highest-- April 11,
2004
Lake Baringo, Kenya
Hundreds of tourists have traveled to the area to
see the geyser that has overtaken the one in Yellowstone
National Park, USA, as the world's highest
The geyser began erupting Thursday afternoon and
has been sending a continuous fountain of salty water
in the sky at a temperature of 90 deg C. This is in
contrast to the usual activity of geysers which are intermittent.
Government experts are assessing how to deal with the salty water
discharge, which risks entering the nearby freshwater lake
Baringo, 3 km away. This geyser activity is a reminder of the
volcanic nature of the rift valley.

CO2
build up -- July 25, 2003 (thanks Blessed x 4)
If just a part of this gigantic reservoir is quickly
released as carbon dioxide (CO2), that could create a runaway
greenhouse effect. The CO2-soaked atmosphere would store up heat
from the Sun, shrivelling plant life and destroying species along
the food chain.
"The reservoir is just gigantic compared with
anything that we have on the Earth's surface," says
Professor Hans Keppler of the Institute of Sciences at Germany's
University of Tuebingen. http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,6799630%255E401,00.html

March 2005
The tectonic plate movements especially under the oceans
have gone up by many times. Andaman Nicobar Island now is
experiencing under water volcanoes in Indian ocean and Bay of
Bengal.
In America North West is experiencing unprecedented level
of small earthquakes and under water volcanoes.
Seattle and Oregon are experiencing heavy levels of tectonic
disturbance.
Underwater volcanoes are being reported in Australia, Greece,
New Zealand and many other countries.
Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula is experiencing double
volcanoes of large sizes.
According some geologists, there are not enough monitoring
mechanisms for knowing the number of under water volcanoes
Most Navies are experiencing changing under water
topologies all over the world. The recent American submarine
accident caused by under water ridges never mapped before and
many other reports from other navies just confirm the fact that
there are massive tectonic movements under the oceans
that we are not observing.

3 million submarine
volcanoes -- July 10, 2007
The true extent to which the ocean bed is dotted
with volcanoes has been revealed by researchers who have counted
201,055 underwater cones. This
is over 10 times more than have been found before. The team
estimates that in total there could be about 3 million submarine
volcanoes, 39,000 of which rise more than 1000 metres over the
sea bed.

Brimstone Pit -- Mariana Trench (Far Pacific )
We were seeing billowing clouds coming up and
turning yellow. There was sulfur and rocks were flying out,”
said Embley, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental
Laboratory. “We realized we were the first to witness a
deep-sea volcano during an eruptive episode.”
The material from the eruption is still being studied. It was
highly caustic, Embley said, damaging the camera lenses even
though the robotic submarine was quickly backed away from the
volcano.
The volcano, with a rim 1,800 feet below the sea surface, was
named “Brimstone Pit” by the scientists.
Nearly 70 percent of the world's volcanoes are
undersea, Embley said in a telephone interview.
“Out there on our own planet there are volcanoes erupting
under the ocean, putting chemicals into the ocean, interchanging
gases (into the water and air), affecting biology. We should know
about these things,” Embley said.

Volcanoe -- Dec. 24, 2005
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A restless volcano near Alaska's
most populated region is being watched by scientist
and officials, who warned on Thursday of the risk of clouds of
ash and a tsunami from a possible eruption.
The intensifying rumblings in the past few weeks at Augustine
Volcano, an island peak 175 miles southwest of Anchorage in Cook
Inlet, have produced a series of steam explosions,
releases of sulfur gas and signs that there may be an eruption
similar to events in 1986 and 1976 which sent ash clouds as high
as 40,000 feet, scientists said.
Any time you have a volcano on the water that's erupting,
common sense says you could have a flank collapse and
a wave," said Paul Whitmore, director of the
West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center

observatory.
The other stirring volcano is Mount Spurr, an
11,070-foot (3,374-meter) peak about 80 miles west of Anchorage.
Small earthquakes beneath Spurr began last summer have intensified
over the last week or so, Eichelberger said. The activity has
included an emission of heat that has created a lake from
some of the snow and ice near the summit, he said

Two other Alaska volcanoes are classified as subjects of elevated
concern. Mount Veniaminof, a 7,073-foot
volcano on the Alaska Peninsula and about 510 miles southwest of
Anchorage, has been emitting small amounts of steam and ash since
April. Shishaldin Volcano, a 9,372-foot
peak in the eastern Aleutian Islands, has also been emitting ash.
Alaska has about 60 volcanoes that have been active in the past.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory is run by the U.S. Geological

Yellowstone : Time bomb under America -- Nov. 10, 2007
Moreover, geologists are well aware that were a major
eruption indeed to happen, the impact would rival any natural
disaster the world has ever seen. Remember the destruction when
Mount St Helens flipped her lid in 1980, turning 240 square miles
into a wasteland? The energy released
at Yellowstone would be many hundreds of times greater. Moreover,
Yellowstone may be due a massive release.
In the study, Accelerated Uplift
and Magmatic Intrusion of the Yellowstone Caldera, 2004 to 2006, the authors note that
while most of the magma remains about 400 miles below the
surface, a significant plume rises to about 30 miles deep, where
it spreads out horizontally like a pancake that is
larger than Los Angeles.
It seems likely that the pancake is expanding and causing the
floor of the caldera suddenly to rise
And what if the ground at Yellowstone does not start to go
down? Well, these calderas, he admits, "occasionally they
burp". Let's hope the park's belly-ache resolves itself
– such a "burp" would
shake half of the planet

Gases killing Bison in Yellowstone--March 27, 2004
A cold front around March 1 probably trapped
steam and toxic gases close to the ground, Heasler said. Hydrogen
sulfide, with its distinctive rotten egg smell, and carbon
dioxide can accumulate in low areas under such conditions because
they are denser than air.
Heasler and his staff measured hydrogen sulfide from some vents
exceeding 200 parts per million, far above safe limits for humans
or animals.

Yellowstone "breathing" already --Oct. 7, 2003 (NY Times ..picture included)
"Yellowstone is one of the most
seismically active places on the planet"
The whole of the Yellowstone Plateau is going up
and down from the magma," averaging one and a half
centimeters a year, said Dr. Robert B. Smith, a professor of
geophysics at the University of Utah and a member of the
Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. "It's like a
living, breathing thing."
One question that occupies geologists is how the caldera
affects fault lines and vice versa. Five major faults
terminate in the molten caldera, and even
far-flung events can shake the earth here. In November
2002, a magnitude 7.9 quake in Denali National Park in Alaska
rippled through the region, leading to more than 500 other quakes
that Dr. Smith watched simultaneously on a computer in Utah.
"The whole of Yellowstone lit up like a Christmas
tree,"

A Monster Awakens --- Sept. 12, 2003
Lurking
beneath Yellowstone National Park is
one
of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world: a massive
supervolcano.
Only
a handful exist in the world, but when one erupts the
explosion will be heard around the globe.
The sky will darken, black acid rain will fall, and the Earth
will be plunged into the equivalent of a nuclear winter. It could
push humanity to the brink of extinction.
Bill McGuire, professor of geohazards at the Benfield Greig
Hazard Research Centre at University College London, says that
America's Yellowstone Park is one of the largest and most
dangerous supervolcanoes in the world. "The Yellowstone
volcano can be likened to a sleeping dragon," says
Professor McGuire, "whose slow breathing brings repeated
swelling and sinking of the Earth's crust in northern Wyoming and
southern Montana."
The impact of
a Yellowstone eruption is terrifying to comprehend." says
Professor McGuire. "Magma would be flung 50 kilometres into
the atmosphere. Within a thousand kilometres virtually all
life would be killed by falling ash, lava flows and the sheer
explosive force of the eruption. One thousand cubic
kilometres of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat
the whole of the USA with a layer 5 inches thick. The explosion
would be the loudest noise heard by man for 75,000 years."
we
may well be on the brink of the biggest
catastrophe the modern world has ever witnessed.

Quoting
WAB:
"Yellowstone Park is building for a major
eruption according to many earthquake experts. The US Park
Service is trying to keep a lid on the problem to avoid public
panic, but the threat appears real. If Yellowstone erupts,
another mountain would be born in Wyoming, and the ash spewed out
would be much greater than that of Mt. St. Helens in
Washington.
The plume of ash would cover a large portion of the
Midwest. How dangerous is the threat? Hard
to say, but strange things are already happening in the
region. There are reports of areas being closed off, ground
swelling upward, and many animals and fish dying from to the
increase in sulfur and other vapors. -- Joel Skousen WAB
Sept. 12, 2003
-Yellowstone -- Sept. 9, 2003
A major earthquake will
suddenly rock their towns for hundreds of kilometers around
Yellowstone, and soon thereafter 1,000+
degree pyroclastic flows will descend on them at hundreds of
miles per hour, extending out to 600+ km.
That 600 km radius around the caldera will experience
total devastation.
The next 600 km out may receive as much as 5-10 feet of ash,
depending on wind
direction. The thickness of ash will decrease away from the
super-volcano, but will reach the crop belt in the Midwest (Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
etc.), destroying most of the fertile croplands of the United
States. California will be hit hard by falling ash, with its
central wine valley severely damaged (the French will love it).
Agriculture will have to shift east of the Mississippi for years.
The Garden State will once again live up to its name.
In northern Idaho you will have to contend with several feet of
ash and isolation. Roads will be closed. Power will be out.
Phones will be out. Communication will depend on Ham radios and
local stations that have generators. Rescue will take weeks or
months. Some areas will never see rescue teams. The survivalists
will be best prepared to make it through the difficult months
following the eruption.

Strange
Eruption in Yellowstone--March 26, 2003
Reports of eruptions at Steamboat started in 1878, when
witnesses said huge rocks blasted into the air as the geyser
exploded.
It erupted more frequently over the next several decades,
sometimes shooting water 40 to 50 feet in the air, sometimes 300
feet. The geyser was dormant between 1911 and 1961 and then
erupted three times in 1989, once in 1990, 1991 and 2000 and then
twice in 2002.
Like other geyser enthusiasts, Heasler is searching for any kind
of pattern in Steamboat's strange behavior.
''We had one last April 26 and now one on March 26. Is a pattern
beginning to develop? Will we have another one in the fall? We
just don't know,'' he said. ''I'm just very, very pleased that
Steamboat has become a little more active.'' AP-WS-03-28-03

Volcanic build up in Pacific North West - --July 23, 2003
Solar
flares increasing the pressure
A larger pressure system is pushing the Earth to
its limit. Most likely, from Earth’s
internal engine forces recently fueled by a series of strong
solar flares.
Like a municipal waterworks that has gone inexplicably berserk,
the Sun has been pumping incredible amounts of energy into the
solar system.
The result is that in the process of absorbing this added energy,
the pressures without our planet may be reaching a
dramatic climax!
If these natural pressures that are now building below the
mantle of our planet as monitored by Larry Park’s equipment
do not abate , they will overload our plant’s natural
corrective mechanism and force a cataclysmic surface
event with a magnitude far greater than any other event in
recorded history.
Now here comes the hard part. While scientists tend to
predict in faraway numbers like “sometime in the next
thousand years,” Larry’s instruments are detecting a
trend that could culminate in a cataclysmic surface event
sometime within the next 18 to 24 months, and in his
update, he tells us how to recognize the precursor events.

There are 23 volcanic mountains
in the NorthWest Cascade Mt. Range. ( not counting Mammoth,
and Coso.)
AMERICA'S MOST DANGEROUS VOLCANOES
More potentially active volcanoes--68 of them--brood in the
United States than in any other country except Japan and
Indonesia. And in a given year, a half dozen of the unstable
giants erupt--we just don't notice because most of them blow in
remote areas in Alaska and Hawaii.
But 20 volatile volcanoes tower over the contiguous
states. Mount St. Helens (above) is the only one of
those to have erupted since 1950, killing 57 people and
destroying a forest big enough to have built 300,000 two-story
houses.
* Watch out for the others, many of which are overdue to erupt:
* MOUNT HOOD, OREGON: Last erupted 200 years ago, producing
devastating pyroclastic flows and lahars. Between 1856 and 1865,
numerous steam blasts were recorded.

Rainier, which has more glacier ice on it than
all the other 12 Cascade volcanoes combined, is the only mountain
in the contiguous United States where regional roads are marked
with large white arrows and signs that say, "Volcano
Evacuation Route."

Mt. Rainier [Washington State] and American Volcanos
To a layperson's eye, Mount Rainier looks unchanged from the way
it appeared two centuries ago when a member of Captain George
Vancouver's exploratory crew first sketched it--serene, stately,
a symbol of permanence. Here, looks are deceiving. Rainier sits
along the boundary of tectonic plates forming Earth's crust. Off
the coast of Seattle in the Pacific Northwest, a heavy chunk of
seafloor called the Juan de Fuca plate has been
ramming itself under the lighter North American plate at the rate
of an inch and a half a year, about a third as fast as hair
grows. Squeezed and heated, the rock melts into magma, blobs of
which rise toward the surface into chambers where it becomes
trapped, cooking and rolling like boiling oatmeal. When the
pressure becomes too great, it bursts free, throwing out lava,
gas, steam, ash, and hot rocks. Rainier is a series of successive
lava flows broken up by centuries of ice, water, percolating
volcanic gases, and the mountain's own internal heat. When
scientists look inside Rainier, they find some of its rock
crumbly and weak. The mountain is dangerously unstable, a
tall, steep heap of loose rocks held together by the force of
gravity and a cubic mile of glacier ice that could be melted or
shaken loose.
Of course, volcanoes unpredictably express themselves in
several ways: Rainier could blow, or flow, or both. One
danger is a ground-hugging avalanche of incandescent rock (as hot
as 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit), ash, and gas racing downhill at 80
miles an hour. In

Volcanic Mt.
Rainier -- Aug 11,
2003 ( Puget Sound area ...Seattle )
“A
monumental threat,” said William E. Scott,
scientist in charge of the Cascades Volcano Observatory, a USGS
center that monitors volcanoes from California to Alaska.
Beneath its dreamy mantel of snow, Mount Rainier is
an active volcano, and it is rotting from the inside out,
especially on its western flank, which drains toward population
centers. The volcano has a long, spotty history of spontaneous
collapse and massive mudflows called lahars.
About 150,000 people now live atop lahars that
have rioted down the slopes of Mount Rainier over the past 5,000
years. The lahars ran all the way to what are now the ports of Tacoma
and Seattle, distances, respectively, of 50 and 75
miles.

Mt. Lassen--largest plugged dome
Mount Lassen is actually the largest plug dome volcano in
the world. This means that magma wells up deep inside the
mountain and becomes plugged which causes great pressure to
build up, which eventually results in dramatic
explosions.
Lassen National Park covers about 106,000 acres. There are
several other relatively tall mountains besides the 10,457 foot
Lassen Peak. Prospect Peak is 8,338, and Mount
Harkness is 8,045. Both of these mountains are
volcanoes and there are trails leading to both summits

reveals the extent and size of the mega-tsunami,
the consequence of a giant landslide that may be triggered by a
future eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.
...
The greatest effects are predicted to occur north, west and south
of the Canaries. ....
Florida and the Caribbean, the final destinations in the North
Atlantic to be affected by the tsunami, will have to brace
themselves for receiving 50 metre high waves - higher than
Nelson's column in London, some 8 to 9 hours after the landslide.
Towards Europe waves heights will be smaller, but substantial
tsunami waves will hit the Atlantic coasts of Britain, Spain
Portugal and France.

Tsunamis travel at high speeds in the deep ocean
---- as fast as passenger jet aircraft ----
and then slow down
and pile up,
increasing their height, as they enter shallow water.
The upshot of the model is that it predicts that between 6 and 9
hours after the collapse of the Cumbre Vieja, tsunami waves with
amplitudes of around 50 metres will strike the entire
western seaboard of the Atlantic: these values are
consistent with the size of the giant boulders and other deposits
in the Bahamas, lending support to the model. Hours before the
waves arrive in America, the coasts of the Canaries and of
western Africa and Europe will have been swept by waves that have
refracted around the submarine flanks of La Palma. www.benfieldhrc.org/CentreNews/press%20releases/tsunami_more%20info.htm

Mt. Vesuvius ..Pompeii--Oct. 6, 2003 Mitch
Battros ECTV
The Italian government believes Mt. Vesuvius to be such an
imminent threat, they are offering residents money to move.
Hundreds of families who live on the slopes of the volcano Mount
Vesuvius have decided to accept the government's offer of $35,000
to move outside the eruption danger zone.
Many geologists believe that it is only a matter of time before
another major eruption by the volcano devastates populated areas
around the volcano. a large eruption in 79AD buried the towns of
Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the first two days of the
government's offer, about 900 families applied for the payments
to move outside the danger zone.
Vesuvius is a complex volcano. I have recently learned, Vesuvius
is part of a Super-Volcano named “Somma”. Mt.
Vesuvius sits in a caldera formed about 34,000 years ago. It is
known as the ‘Somma Caldera’. This is much the same as
Northern America's Yellowstone Super-Volcano.

Indonesia has the world's largest number

"Ring of Fire" fault line which stretches from quake
prone Japan, through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific Basin.
"There are 79 volcanoes which need to be closely-watched and
they are being monitored by all observation posts,"
vulcanologist Wimpy S. Cecep, told the New Straits Times
Anak Krakatau, the "child"
of the legendary Krakatoa which erupted in 1883,
triggering a massive tsunami which killed
tens of thousands, was put on alert
yesterday after 32 tremors rattled the volcano's crater.
Cecep said the two volcanoes were unlikely to blow-up on a large
scale to spew ash over a large area.

Mega volcano threatens Sumatra Islands-- April 21, 2005
Volcanic activities in the region during the past

in America.
ash and dark smoke started pouring out of Mount
Karthala on the main island of Grand Comore, then hours later
lava was spotted on its east and southeastern slopes
The volcano is overdue for an eruption. Mount Karthala erupts
about every 11 years, but its last significant activity was in
1991.
The Comoros are located in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar
and Mozambique.

Fault Line through Sumatra
Cas told Australian media on Friday that Toba
sits on a fault line running down the middle of
Sumatra -- just where some seismologists say a third
earthquake might strike following the nine-magnitude
quake on December 26 and
Monday's 8.7-magnitude temblor [ April 18, 2005
].
Those quakes occurred along fault lines running just off
Sumatra's west coast and created seismological stresses that
could hasten an eruption
The scientist said super volcanoes represent the
greatest potential hazard on Earth, "the only greater threat
being an asteroid impact from space".

The volcano is in an area known as Antarctic Sound, at the
northernmost tip of Antarctica. There is no previous scientific
record of active volcanoes in the region where the new peak was
discovered. The volcano is located on the continental shelf, in
the vicinity of a deep trough carved out by glaciers passing

active countries in the world. The nation lies in the "Ring
of Fire" -- a series of volcanoes and fault lines that
outline the Pacific Ocean
In 2000, an eruption at a volcano on Miyake
Island, about 180 kilometers (110 miles) east of Tokyo, forced
all 4,000 islanders to evacuate the island. About half of them
returned last year after the evacuation order was lifted
