[5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? [6] And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Revelation 5:  [11] And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; [12] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. [13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.

[11] And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, [12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 15:  [2] And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. [3] And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. [4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Revelation 19:  [4] And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. [5] And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. [6] And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. [7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. [10] And I fell at his feet to worship him.

Revelation 20:  [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[9] Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
 
 
The I, II, & III Epistles
of the Apostle John

I John 1

[1] That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
[2] (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
[3] That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
[4] And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
[5] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
[6] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
[7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

I John 2

[1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
[2] And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
[8] Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
[9] He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
[10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
[11] But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
[12] I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
[13] I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
[14] I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
[17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
[18] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
[20] But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
[21] I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
[22] Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
[23] Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
[24] Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
[25] And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
[26] These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
[27] But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
[28] And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
[29] If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

I John 3

[1] Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
[2] Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
[3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
[6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
[7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
[10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
[11] For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
[12] Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
[13] Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
[14] We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
[15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
[16] Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
[17] But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
[18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
[19] And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
[20] For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
[21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
[22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
[23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
[24] And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

I John 4

[1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
[4] Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
[5] They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
[6] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
[10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
[14] And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
[15] Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
[17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
[19] We love him, because he first loved us.
[20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
[21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

I John 5

[1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
[2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
[3] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
[4] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
[5] Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
[6] This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
[7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
[8] And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
[9] If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
[10] He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
[11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
[12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
[13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
[14] And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
[15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
[16] If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
[17] All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
[18] We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
[19] And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
[20] And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[21] Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

II John 1

[1] The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
[2] For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
[3] Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
[4] I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
[5] And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[6] And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
[7] For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
[8] Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
[9] Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
[10] If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
[11] For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
[12] Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
[13] The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

III John 1

[1] The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
[2] Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
[3] For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
[4] I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
[5] Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
[6] Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
[7] Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
[8] We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
[9] I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
[10] Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
[11] Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
[12] Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
[13] I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
[14] But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

Luke 21:  [25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. {Earthquakes,Volcanic Eruptions and Tsunamis.}

December - Volcanoes 2006:   BEIJING,  (Xinhuanet) -- Imagine a volcano avalanche generated tsunami 10 stories high containing enough sediment and rock to cover the entire island of Manhattan with a layer of debris thicker than the height of Empire State Building. According to a computer simulation, that's what happened 8,000 years ago in Sicily when Mt. Etna erupted and produced an avalanche that hurled six cubic miles of dirt and rock into the water, creating a tsunami that spread across the entire Mediterranean Sea and onto the shore of three continents in only a few hours. The mountain of rubble swept into the sea at more than 200 mph, pulverized the seabed and changed thick layers of soft marine sediment into jelly. It also started an underwater mudslide that flowed for hundreds of miles. Researchers at the National Institute of Geology and Volcanolgy in Italy have also linked the tsunami with the mysterious abandonment of Atlit-Yam, a Neolithic village located along the coast of present-day Israel. When archeologists discovered the village about 20 years ago, they found evidence of a sudden evacuation, including a pile of fish that had been gutted and sorted but then left to rot. "A tsunami was not suspected before," said lead researcher Maria Pareschi. To create their computer simulation, researchers used sonar-equipped boats to survey seafloor sediment displaced by the Mt. Etna avalanche. Their recreation suggests the tsunami's waves reached heights of up to 130 feet and maximum speeds of up to 450 mph, making it more powerful than the Indonesian tsunami that killed more than 180,000 people in 2004. According to Pareschi, if the same tsunami struck today, Southern Italy would be covered with water within the first 15 minutes. An hour later the waves would reach Greece's western coasts. After an hour and a half, the city of Benghazi in Northern Africa would be hit. At the three and a half hour mark, the waves would have traversed the entire Mediterranean to reach the coasts of Israel, Lebanon and Syria. "Should the Neolithic Etna tsunami have occurred today, the impact is tremendous because the Eastern Mediterranean coasts are much inhabited ones," Pereschi said. Avalanches and minor eruptions still occur on Mt. Etna today, but so far, nothing approaching the magnitude of the ancient event.
Mudslide of Volcanic Debris Kills 19 People in Albay: The stricken village of Padang, on the outskirts of Legazpi City southeast of Manila, is on the foothills of the Mayon Volcano, which erupted in July, depositing millions of tons of rocks and ash on its slopes, Legazpi Mayor Noel Rosal said.
Volcano Erupts on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula: KAMCHATSKY - The Karymsky volcano on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia's Far East has increased its activity, spewing ash up to an altitude of 22,637 feet.
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a second volcano on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia’s Far East has erupted, spewing ash up to an altitude of 26,500 feet.
A team of Thai and German marine geologists has found four submarine mud volcanoes about 200 kilometers from Phuket. The first and biggest volcano about 200km from Phuket, about 650 meters under the sea. Its base is about 800 meters in diameter and it is 100 meters high. The second volcano is located 50km west of the first volcano at a depth of about 1,000 meters. The third and fourth volcanoes have bases about 500 meters in diameter and are 60-70 meters high. They are located about 60km northeast of the second volcano and are at a depth of 700 to 800 meters. These are the first submarine mud volcanoes discovered in Southeast Asia. But an aboveground mud volcano exists at Baratang Island, in India's Andaman Islands, about 200 to 300km away. The team of marine geologists suspected the mud volcanoes they had found were like submarine mud volcanoes off Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.
Another active volcano has been discovered on Kamchatka Peninsula - the Ichinskaya Sopka volcano, which was thought to be the only active volcano of the Sredinny (Middle) Range of Kamchatka, has a companion – the Khangar volcano. The Khangar volcano appears to have had two active periods in the recent geologic period. Scientists have classified the volcano as a potentially active volcano, which now is relatively dormant.
Iwojima may be headed for eruption - Japan's Geographical Survey Institute is watching Iwojima carefully for a possible volcanic eruption as it has recorded a 12-cm elevation in the land on the southeastern region of the island in the last month, the BIGGEST INCREASE SINCE 1997 when it began taking measurements. The land is rising faster than the speed of the elevation observed just before an eruption on the island in September 2001. "It is unclear whether the move will immediately lead to an eruption, but careful observation is needed." The total elevation has surpassed 20 cm since the land began rising in August.
Volcano Alert in Sulawesi Indonesia has raised the alert level at a volcano on the northeastern Sulawesi Island after it belched hot ash, fearing a possible eruption within two weeks.
Yellowstone Lava Domes Swelling Fast
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - A geologist says some parts of the continually shifting, collapsed volcano at the center of the park are swelling unusually fast.
Visitors Kept Away from Hawaii Volcano VOLCANO, Hawaii - Visitors to one of the world's most active volcanoes are being kept hundreds of feet away from a 55-acre lava delta that authorities believe may soon collapse into the Pacific Ocean.
Red Alert for Indonesian Volcano
Jakarta authorities raised the Cebeles Isles to red code, top-alert Monday, due to possible eruption of the Soputan Volcano, which has spewed hot volcanic ash. Experts believe Soputan may be about to erupt in the next two weeks after it expelled volcanic dust for nearly two miles down its eastern slope. When it last erupted in December 2004, Soputan spewed streams of lava 24 miles.
Mount St. Helens Lets Off Huge Plume of Steam
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Like a giant smokestack, percolating Mount St. Helens let loose a billowing steam plume easily seen Tuesday in downtown Portland, Ore., about 80 kilometers away.
PHILIPPINES-Bulusan volcano spewed ash onto several villages along its slopes early today, but scientists said a major eruption was unlikely. Breaking two months of silence, Mount Bulusan, one of the country's 22 active volcanoes, belched ash for about 20 minutes accompanied by rumbles and lightning flashes. Scientists said they found ash deposits of up to 4 millimeters (0.16 inches) in several villages on Bulusan's foothills. The latest activity may signal another bout of ash explosions in the coming days and weeks, the institute said in a statement, adding it was maintaining the lowest alert level for the volcano. A dangerous combination of rains and mud that could trigger landslides has put authorities on alert.
Seismic activity has intensified on the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. About 200 seismic events have been registered in the area since Monday. Earthquakes were registered at a depth of 30 kilometers under the central crater. Thermal anomaly has also been observed on the volcano. According to scientists, there is no reason to say that the volcano will intensify activity in the coming weeks, but it is not ruled out that it will grow. The giant mount erupts once in five or six years. The most recent eruption was observed in winter-spring 2005.
High Alert for Montserrat Volcano: 27-Montserrat was put on high alert this past weekend as large plumes of ash were seen leaving the Langs Soufriere volcano climbing at times to an estimated 10 thousand feet into the air.
RUSSIA - Second Volcano Erupts in Russia’s Far East in Two Days - a second volcano has erupted on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia’s Far East, spewing out ash up to an altitude of 6 miles. A village 31 miles away from the Shiveluch volcano was covered with ash, and volcanic tremors were registered in the area. Officials have instructed local residents to avoid leaving their houses as particles of volcanic ash hanging in the air could cause poisoning and serious diseases. Shiveluch, the northernmost active volcano on Kamchatka, is the second to erupt on the Pacific peninsula in two days. The other volcano, which has erupted, recently is Bezymyanny, which is about 62 miles from Shiveluch. Experts said the outbursts are not linked as the volcanoes belong to different magma chambers and their almost simultaneous eruptions are a coincidence. About 450 minor quakes were registered daily near a third volcano, Karymsky. Experts from the Moscow International Institute for Earthquake Prediction and Computing Geophysics earlier said there was a 30% probability that an earthquake of more than 7.2 will hit Kamchatka in December.
Preparing for the Wrath of Vesuvius: By Johann Grolle-Vesuvius has been quiet for the last 62 years -- and that's cause for concern. Italian authorities are preparing for the next eruption of the most dangerous volcano in the world. The ground south of Mt. Vesuvius has been shaken by tremors 52 times during the last 24 hours, Italy's leading volcanologist explains. Three hundred tons of sulfur dioxide has spewed out of the crater. Other ominous signs of an impending catastrophe are mounting: The coast guard has sighted gaseous bubbles in the sea, and dead fish are floating on the waves. The water in the boroughs of Ercolano and Torre del Greco tastes sourer and sourer. And, as if that weren't enough, GPS stations have observed that the ground in the region is rising -- by no less than 20 centimeters (8 inches) in a single day. Geologists found evidence for eight mighty "Plinian eruptions" in the rock layers of Vesuvius -- all within the past 25,000 years. 
 
November - Volcanoes 2006:   Fissures have opened in the Earth's surface in Afar as the Arabian and Nubian tectonic plates pull apart. Scientists say the process is the same as that which created the Atlantic.
Pacific Ocean Gives Birth to New Volcanic Island: The Pacific Ocean has given birth to a new volcanic island near Tonga, according to ocean-going eyewitnesses.
The city of Clearlake is home to an active volcano that may erupt violently within the next 10,000 years. Clearlake is a location that the United States Geology Survey recently named as a "high threat" location that should be monitored more closely. The next eruption in Clearlake, a city about 80 miles west of Sacramento, would probably be a violent explosion of magma, not a small lava flow. The volcano in Clearlake may be "actively recharging" for a future eruption for several reasons. The Earth's crust around the volcano is giving off an UNUSUAL amount of heat, and is emitting gases that are chemically similar to magma. Geologists have observed earthquakes below the Earth's surface in Clearlake, and they "have a fluid signature," which points to the existence of magma below the Earth's surface.
California Volcano Showing Signs of Life: The city of Clearlake, Calif., is home to an active volcano that may erupt violently sometime in the future, said Lisa Hammersley, professor of geology. "It would probably be a violent explosion of magma, not a small lava flow."
Activity continues at Ulawun volcano in Papua New Guinea. Satellite images show a low level plume on Friday 17th November. Ulawun is the highest volcano in the 1000 km long Bismarck volcanic arc, which stretches from Rabaul to Wewak. Pumice from the August eruption of Home Reef in Tonga has reached Tanna Island in southern Vanuatu. This is 1600 km distant from the eruption site.
Activity has increased at Yasur volcano in Vanuatu. Projectiles are regularly being ejected beyond the crater rim and reach a height of 400 m above the crater. Yasur is one of the world's most active volcanoes.
Indonesian 'Merapi' Volcano Calms Down After Spewing Hot Clouds
JAKARTA -- Mt. 'Merapi' in Indonesia's Java Island calmed down Tuesday morning after spewing hot clouds up to three kilometers.
Philippine Taal Volcano Spews Muddy Water PHILIPPINES - 'Taal' Volcano's main crater has been spewing three to five-meter-high geysers of muddy water since Friday morning: Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
Killer Gas Blast at Mud Volcano: JAVA - Eight people were killed and perhaps dozens thought to be missing Thursday after an underground gas pipeline exploded near a gas well spewing mud in Indonesia - Java's "mud volcano." The blast shot flames 500 meters into the night sky and burst a dyke built to contain hot mud that has inundated East Java's Sidoarjo district, sweeping away vehicles and forcing the closure of a nearby highway.
CATANIA, Sicily -- Volcanic ash spewed from simmering Mount Etna on Friday, forcing authorities to close a nearby airport, officials said.
MOUNT ST. HELENS -- Mt. St. Helens isn't happy. It's moving and shaking, trying to get a huge plug of rock out of its craw.
Seismolgists Get Handle on Heat Flow Deep in Earth The latest evidence of this dynamic inner Earth is revealed in a recent series of measurements that peered deep within Earth, halfway to its center. The new experiments have yielded important results that help determine temperature halfway to the center of Earth. It also has implications for the age of Earth's solid inner core and how its magnetic field may be generated.
Taal Crater Lake is Off Limits: Volcanologists warned yesterday local residents and tourists to stay away from the main crater area of the Taal volcano, saying the sudden steam and gas explosions at its mouth could endanger their lives. An increase in seismicity has been recorded at Taal Volcano in Philippines. Twenty-nine earthquakes were recorded in a 24-hour period from 6am Saturday. The earthquakes were accompanied by rumbling sounds. The main crater has been placed off limits because of the possibility of explosions or gas emissions.
Volcano in Eastern Congo Spews Lava: KINSHASA, Congo — A volcano erupted late Monday near the city of Goma in eastern Congo, spewing lava in an area devastated by a major eruption four years ago. Volcanic Ash Forces Closing of Airport: ROME Clouds of volcanic ash billowing from Mount Etna forced authorities Monday to shut down the airport near the Sicilian city of Catania for a fourth straight night.  
 
October - Volcanoes 2006:  New Zealand Active Volcano Shaken by Small Quake.
Fourpeaked volcano is rumbling again. The Alaska Volcano Observatory says a seismometer indicates activity has been ongoing all week. Clouds are impeding closer observations. The volcano has been spewing high quantities of sulfur dioxide. Fourpeaked volcano is not known to have erupted historically and the age of the last eruption is not known. Geological investigations have been limited and ice covers much of the area. However, the composition of the volcano indicates that eruptions of Fourpeaked can be explosive, possibly producing plumes that reach in excess of 33,000 ft. above sea level and local ashfall.
Volcano Erupts on NZ's North Island. Scientists say an eruption of Mount Ruapehu last week sent 6m-high waves across the crater lake. A team of scientists made it to the top of Mount Ruapehu on Saturday, and confirmed the mountain definitely did erupt. The scientists say the blast caused waves 6m high to lash the side of the crater lake and raised the temperature of the water by at least seven degrees. They say the eruption was contained within the lake. Although seismic activity at Ruapehu is now at normal levels, crevasses are opening up in the basin, and avalanche conditions may develop as the spring sun softens the new snow.
Mt Tavurvur - the erupting volcano on the Papua New Guinea island of New Britain is forcing people to evacuate their homes, as large volumes of ash fall on the town of Rabaul. There are reports of doors slamming, windows rattling and ash falling as far away as Kokopo across the harbor from Rabaul. "People are spontaneously evacuating from areas of heavy ash fall and those exposed to the worst of the air blasts. These are quite alarming." The ash column was around 5000m high with thunder and lightning within it.
A large eruption occurred at Rabaul volcano in Papua New Guinea on Saturday 7th October. Ash was emitted to 60,000 ft. The eruption began at 0845 hr local time, at Tavurvur crater, and was accompanied by loud noises and volcanic lightning. Ash emissions reduced visibility and blocked out sunlight.
Ground Deformation Summary: Through September 2006, continuous GPS data show that most of the Yellowstone caldera continued moving upward at the same relative rates as the past year. The maximum measured ground uplift over the past 24 months is ~12 cm at the White Lake GPS stations. The general uplift of the Yellowstone caldera is scientifically interesting and will continue to be monitored closely by YVO staff.
Mount Bulusan Explodes Ash, Alarming Villagers. After about four months of relative calm. JAKARTA - Mount Bulusan in the eastern Philippines spewed ash for a third day Thursday, covering at least a dozen villages, scientists said.  After five months of calm, Bulusan -- located in Sorsogon Province, 405 kilometers southeast of Manila -- began blasting thick columns of ash into the air on Tuesday.
SAN SALVADOR - Authorities in El Salvador declared an alert on Tuesday for an area around the Chaparrastique volcano after the peak began rumbling ominously.
After spewing smoke and molten rock for the past 16 months, India's only active volcano appears to be sputtering out, a geologist observing the eruption said on Thursday.
MOSCOW, A total of 230 minor quakes have been registered over the past 24 hours near the most active volcano on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia's Far East, local seismologists said Wednesday. Experts said Mount Karymsky, in the southeast of the peninsular, which rises to 1,536 meters (5,039 feet) above sea level, spewed ash emissions up to an altitude of around 3,600 meters, although a precise evaluation was made difficult by the volcano's remoteness from detection equipment. This year more than 1,200 people, including 542 children, were evacuated from the north of the Kamchatka peninsula after a series of earthquakes. The first 7.8-magnitude quake, the strongest in the Koryak Autonomous Area since 1900, injured 31 people on April 21 and had an epicenter about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the town of Khailino.
Hundreds of Ecuadorian Villagers Evacuated as Tungurahua Volcano Rumbles Two Months after Deadly Eruption.
QUITO, Ecuador about 300 villagers were evacuated from the slopes of the Tungurahua volcano following a surprise eruption of ash, lava and incandescent rocks, a local mayor said Thursday. Experts have warned that renewed explosions could come any time from the 16,575-foot volcano located about 85 miles south of the capital, Quito. What we have seen now is evidence that something there could be something similar to the episodes in July and August," said Hugo Yepes, director of Ecuador's Geophysics Institute. "Inside the ground there is a chamber of magma much larger than the volcano itself." Thousands of people were also evacuated in July during an earlier eruption. Unlike that eruption, which followed months of loud, booming explosions and rumbling, the smaller explosion late Wednesday came with no warning. "There wasn't a single sound. There was fire and lava that made us takes precautionary measures."
Indonesia Disaster Shows Risks of Mud Volcanoes. OSLO - Risks from volcanoes that ooze mud rather than spew lava have long been underestimated worldwide, even with a cataclysmic mudflow in another part of Java that has swamped an area the size of Monaco and forced 10,000 people from their homes.
Minor Quake Rattles Chunk Out of Volcano's Lava Spine
PORTLAND, OR - (Mount St. Helens) a rock fall triggered by a minor earthquake at Mount St. Helens on Saturday afternoon generated a plume of ash that was visible through much of the Portland-Vancouver metro area. The 3:13 p.m. quake registered 3.5 on the Richter scale and was centered in the crater of the erupting volcano, about 0.2 miles beneath the surface, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Volcanic ash blankets Filipino villages. A volatile volcano in the eastern Philippines has spewed a column of ash a kilometer high in a sudden explosion that has covered four villages in soot. Villagers have been warned of further dangerous activity from Mount Bulusan, which has already belched giant clouds of smoke and ash twice this month.
THIRD UPDATE: Mt. Bulusan Explodes Again Sending Ash Thousands of Feet into the Atmosphere.
Sorsogon City (Philippines) -- Mt. Bulusan exploded anew early morning Monday, October 23, sending a column of dark brown ash one-kilometer skyward from its crater. PHIVOLCS seismographs also recorded six volcanic earthquakes 30 minutes before the explosion and recorded Sulfur Dioxide emission rate of 787 tons per day.
Volcano's Activity Increases on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula The Karymsky volcano on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia's Far East has increased its activity, spewing ash emissions up to an altitude of around 16,400 feet. Some 450 Quakes have been registered on Kamchatka near Karymsky Volcano.
Catania, Italy- Sicily's Mount Etna, Europe's largest volcano, continued erupting overnight to Thursday with a 2,000 meter- high lava flow streaming into the valley below. The glowing rock mass was flowing, according to vulcanologists in the region, down the southerly face of the mountain. It was unclear whether a new crater had been opened or whether an old one had become active. A strong earthquake measuring 5.6, which may be related to Etna volcano eruption, was felt on the Italian mainland and on the island of Sicily.
Aleutian Islands -- An Aleutian Islands volcano erupted Saturday, spitting ash at least 20,000 feet into the sky, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. Cleveland Volcano was quiet Sunday. Short eruptions like Saturday's have been typical at the volcano in recent years, the observatory reported. It was the fourth such eruption this year. Cleveland Volcano is just west of Dutch Harbor, about 940 miles from Anchorage. 
 
September - Volcanoes 2006:   New eruptions have begun at Mt Etna volcano in Italy. Seismic activity was reported on the evening of 30th August. On the morning of 31st August Strombolian eruptions were observed at SE crater. Regular explosions occurred every 5-10 seconds. There has been an increase in volcanic activity at Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat.  There was a pyroclastic flow, which may have reached the sea down the Tar River valley. An ash cloud reached 30,000 ft elevation. Eruptions continue at Mt Belinda volcano on Montagu Island, South Sandwich Islands. During August hotspots were visible on multiple days on satellite images. Eruptions continue at three volcanoes in Guatemala. Incandescent lava flows are visible at Pacaya volcano, and a crater glow is visible at night. At Fuego volcano lava avalanches descend 300 m towards the south. Rumbling sounds were emitted from the crater. Lava avalanches occurred at Santa Maria volcano from Santiaguito lava dome. Ash emissions reach 1.5 km above the volcano. Multiple hotspots were visible on a satellite image of Merbabu volcano in Indonesia on 27th August 2006. Awaiting confirmation if there has been an eruption of the volcano. Merapi volcano is located nearby and has been erupting since May. Merbabu volcano last erupted in 1797.  Indonesia Raises Alert Level At Rumbling Volcano Solok, Indonesia: Scientists have raised the alert level at a rumbling volcano on Indonesia's Sumatra Island after it showed signs of increased activity.
 
Historical Volcanic Activity Within The United States
Alaska hosts within its borders over 80 major volcanic centers that have erupted during the past 10,000 years. At least 29 of these volcanic centers had historical eruptions and 12 additional volcanic centers may have had historical eruptions. Historical in Alaska generally means the period since 1760 when explorers, travelers, and inhabitants kept written records. These 41 volcanic centers have been the source for more than 256 historical eruptions reported from Alaska volcanoes.
Mount Baker: 1840-1870: Historical literature refers to several episodes of small tephra-producing events in the mid 1800s, and increased fumarolic activity began in Sherman Crater near the summit in 1975 and remains elevated today.
Glacier Peak: 17th - 18th centuries: Between about 200 and 300 years ago, small eruptions deposited pumice and ash east of the volcano, and may have been observed by Native Americans.
Mount Rainier: 1894 & early 1800s: Several eyewitness accounts describe minor releases of steam and ash-laden steam during November and December 1894. The most recent eruption that formed a thin and discontinuous tephra layer, however, occurred during the first half of the 19th century.
Mount St. Helens: 1980-1986: Large explosive eruption on May 18, 1980, followed by 21 smaller eruptive episodes. The last 17 episodes built a lava dome in the volcano's crater.  1800-1857: Large explosive eruption in 1800 was followed by extrusions of lava that formed a lava flow on the volcano's northwest flank (Floating Island lava flow) and a lava dome on the north flank (Goat Rocks lava dome). Late 1700s: Layers of volcanic rocks record a variety of activity related to the growth of a lava dome at the volcano's summit, including pyroclastic flows, lahars, and tephra fall.
Mount Hood: 1856-1865 & late 1700s: According to eyewitnesses, small explosive eruptions occurred from the summit area between 1856 and 1865. In the latter half of the 18th century, however, a lava dome was erupted, which was accompanied by pyroclastic flows, lahars, and tephra fall.
Mount Shasta: 1786: An eruption cloud was observed above the volcano from a ship passing by north coast California, and the activity included pyroclastic flows.
Lassen Peak: 1914-1917: A series of small explosions that began on May 30, 1914, was followed 12 months later by extrusion of lava from the summit and a destructive pyroclastic flow and lahars on May 21, 1915. Minor activity continued through middle of 1917.
 
Yellowstone News: U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California, USA
Yellowstone Monthly Update issued Sep 2, 2006 23:05 MDT - Alert Level NORMAL - Aviation Color Code GREEN. August 2006 Yellowstone Seismicity Summary During August 2006, 82 earthquakes were located in the Yellowstone region. The largest of these shocks was a magnitude 2.7 on August 9, 2006 at 7:34 AM MDT, located about 3 miles north northwest of Fishing Bridge, Wyoming. This event was part of a swarm of small earthquakes in the Hayden Valley area and is in the same location as an intense swarm in fall 1978 that was accompanied by notable changes in hydrothermal features near Mud Volcano. No earthquakes in this period were reportedly felt. Earthquake activity in the Yellowstone region remains at relatively low background levels. Ground Deformation Summary: Through August 2006, continuous GPS data show that most of the Yellowstone caldera continued moving upward at the same (or somewhat lower) relative rates as the past year. The maximum measured ground uplift over the past 24 months is ~11 cm at the White Lake GPS stations.
 
Kilauea Volcano: The Ongoing East Rift Zone Eruption
Kilauea's 15-year-long eruption continues to exhibit the kind of activity that has made it the most destructive Hawaiian eruption of the last two centuries and the volcano one of the most popular destinations in the world. Every day more than 500,000 cubic meters of lava pour from Pu'u O'o, Kilauea's active vent, into lava tubes; much of this lava enters the ocean 12 km away. Lava flows no longer threaten communities on the south coast of Kilauea as they did several years ago (anchor "communities" to Kalapana section), but people continue to walk across potentially dangerous areas where lava enters the ocean and creates new unstable land. At Pu'u O'o, between 1,000 and 2,000 tons of sulfur dioxide gases are discharged into the atmosphere daily.
Temporary Seismic Stations Help Scientists Identify Hidden Subsurface Structures
Long Valley Caldera and the Mono-Inyo volcanic chain in eastern California form one of several geologically youthful volcanic systems in California that pose potential hazards to nearby population centers from future volcanic eruptions. Recurring earthquake swarms and episodes of ground uplift in the caldera since 1980 indicate that the magmatic system beneath these volcanic systems is still active and capable of renewed volcanic eruptions. An escalation of the unrest could pose a threat to the 5,000-person community of Mammoth Lakes and the tens of thousands of people who visit the area throughout the year. The USGS monitors the area intensively for earthquake activity, ground deformation, and gas and has developed a response plan in the event of increased unrest.
New Zealand: the Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences (IGNS) has reported that earthquake unrest continues, with about 20 small volcanic earthquakes being recorded each day near Ngauruhoe.
Fuego, one of Central America's most active volcanoes, is one of three large stratovolcanoes overlooking Guatemala's former capital, Antigua. Collapse of the ancestral Meseta volcano about 8,500 years ago produced a massive debris avalanche that traveled about 50 km onto the Pacific coastal plain. The Instituto National de Sismologia, Vulcanologia, Meterologia, e Hidrologia (INSIVUMEH), after being translated from Spanish, reported that short rumblings and weak sounds characterized like that of a locomotive 10 to 48 seconds of duration, took place in the central crater and 5 explosions elevate incandescent lava of 75 to 100 m over the edge of the central crater and simultaneously they generate avalanches of burning blocks towards the gorge of the Taniluyá. Other explosions elevate grayish clouds to 200 and 300 m of height and transported them to the west and expelled lava up to 20 m of alt.
Mt. Saint Helens: the Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) reported that growth of the new lava dome inside the crater of Mt. St. Helens continues, accompanied by low rates of seismicity, low emissions of steam and volcanic gases, and minor production of ash. During such eruptions, changes in the level of activity can occur over days to months. The eruption could intensify suddenly or with little warning and produce explosions that cause hazardous conditions within several miles of the crater and farther downwind.
Montserrat Volcano: the Observatory (MVO) has reported that early morning visible as well as multi-spectral imagery reveals a 5.75 mi wide plume extending about 86.25 mi to the west of the summit. A hotspot is all seen on multi-spectral imagery. GOES-12 satellite is currently in eclipse mode but last multi-spectral image at 0345Z showed a 6.9 mi wide plume extending about 63.25-69 mi to the west of the summit. A hotspot was last seen at 2315Z. Winds are forecasted to shift more to the west-southwest over the next 12 hours. Later, visible imagery shows the plume currently moving just south of west. The plume bends to just north of west about 57.5 mi from the summit and extends up to a total of 230 mi west of the summit. Ash continues to be emitted from the volcano and since the plume has become consolidated from sfc/10,000 ft. all moving sw...the plume appears to have a higher density. A thin area of ash that was moving NW yesterday could be seen moving SW just south of St. Croix. This area is expected to dissipate in 6hrs. Ash height was raised slightly to 10,000 ft. based on height of tropical inversion and intensity of the multi-spectral signal of ash.
Geologists Keep Eye on Mount Douglas Area: ANCHORAGE - Volcano observers in Homer last Sunday night noticed dark gray plumes on the northern part of the Alaska Peninsula, in the Cape Douglas area. AVO received numerous reports of a large unusual cloud rising to heights of 20,000 ft.  Satellite images showed some sort of cloud rising over the Mount Douglas area.
At least 13 quakes and one small eruption with black smoke were recorded in the volcanic activities of Mount Talang in Solok district, West Sumatra.
Twin plumes were observed rising from Fourpeaked glacier. The area is located between Fourpeaked and Douglas volcanoes. Plumes reached 20,000 ft elevation. Fourpeaked volcano is located in the northeast corner of Katmai National Park. Trace of ashfall was recorded at Nonvianuk Lake outlet (110 km NW of the volcano) and near Homer (about 95 miles NE of the volcano). A cloud of sulphur dioxide was detected by satellite images. A strong sulphur smell was reported from the Stony River Valley, 300 km NW of Fourpeaked volcano. An over flight has confirmed an eruption of Fourpeaked volcano in Alaska. The unmonitored volcano has been inactive for thousands of years. Residents of Homer observed twin emissions last Sunday from an area at Fourpeaked glacier. Small earthquakes were detected in the area on Sunday measuring less than 1.8 magnitude.
Fourpeaked Mountain, a volcano that has been quiet for thousands of years, appears to be coming back to life. The Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage to code yellow upgraded Fourpeaked Volcano, about 80 miles northwest of Kodiak across Shelikof Strait, meaning restless with an eruption possible. “An atmospheric disturbance was recorded in Fairbanks. It is clear the sound waves were coming from Fourpeaked.” In addition, a cloud of sulfur dioxide gas was detected during the eruption. The last volcanic activity at Fourpeaked was more than 10,000 years ago and no recent volcanic or hydrothermal activity had been identified. Earthquake activity has now been detected below Fourpeaked. An earthquake located on Afognak Island 75 miles southeast of Fourpeaked, with a magnitude of 3.6, was reported Tuesday. The area is in the Cape Douglas area on Fourpeaked Glacier, south of St. Augustine Volcano, which is now designated as code green, or normal seismic activity, and could be emitting some ash that was reported earlier in the week. Ash emission Sept. 17, the abundant volcanic gases, the presence of new vents at the summit and the disruption and floods occurring at and below glaciers suggest new magma at shallow levels beneath the volcano, according to the observatory. A series of pits and elongate openings through glacial ice high on the north flank of the volcano are vigorously emitting volcanic gas and steam. Channels and debris fans on the ice field indicate that outbursts of water have occurred.
ALASKA - Fourpeaked Volcano, about 80 miles northwest of Kodiak across Shelikof Strait, was upgraded by the Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage to code yellow, meaning restless with an eruption possible.
Mayon volcano on Monday showed renewed restiveness after falling on a quiet phase last Sunday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said. Phivolcs recorded a total of 14 volcanic quakes and 114 tremor episodes during the past 24 hours.
Fourpeaked volcano believed by scientists to be dormant for the last 10,000 years has rumbled to life with a burst of ash, gas and steam, signs that an eruption could occur in the coming days or weeks, a joint state and federal agency said on Tuesday.
Dempo Volcano in Southern Sumatra has been increased to level 2 alert (maximum 4) after an increase in seismic activity. The last eruption was in 1994 when mild explosions occurred at the Crater Lake.
PORONG, Indonesia - The “mud volcano” pours out some 165,000 cubic yards of mud every day – enough to cover a football field about 75 feet deep. Often spewing out in geyser-like eruptions, the mud has left some 665 acres swamped or abandoned as unsafe, forcing more than 10,000 people from their homes. In Java, experts have warned about the possible risk of volcanic eruption similar to that in Pompeii - for four months, millions of cubic meters of boiling mud have been flowing around the whereabouts of Porong; entire villages have already been submerged and 10,000 people displaced. Efforts to block the mudflow went on until academics concluded there was no way to stop it and that the only option was to contain the flow and channel it towards the sea, seeking to limit damage done. Meanwhile, tension is rising among local residents: for months, they have watched their homes, work and fields being submerged, and now they are protesting the absence of proper intervention. Roadblocks on the route from Malang to Surabaya have become the order of the day, with queues of cars of around 4 to 5 km long. Thousands of people have erected tents near the edge of the road, seeking shelter to escape the mud. Citing scientific studies, an expert said a mud volcano had been lying dormant under Porong for 4.9 million of years.
 
August - Volcanoes 2006:   Two More Earthquakes Hit Mount St. Helens Sixth 3.1+ Quake Since Tuesday. Two earthquakes registered Monday near Mount St. Helens. The volcano quaked with a 3.6-magnitude temblor at 2:34 a.m., which follows two other 3.6-magnitude quakes and a 3.5-magnitude over the past two weeks. Scientists suspect that the movement represents a lurching upward of the massive new lava spine evolving on the crater floor. Indonesian Villagers Continue Work Despite Volcano ThreatJAKARTA  - Flows of lava accompanied by showers of molten rock shooting into the sky have forced villagers living close to a volcano in eastern Indonesia to shelter in schools and churches, officials said on Saturday. Scientists Record 51 Earthquakes Near Mayon LEGAZPI CITY—Low-frequency quakes rocked Mt. Mayon even as its steam emission dropped suddenly, indicating an explosive eruption is highly possible, scientists said yesterday. LEGAZPI CITY—Mayon Volcano yesterday ejected a high volume of sulfuric steam, indicating its eruption is imminent, scientists said. They said Monday’s gas emission rate of 12,548 tons a day was a record high compared with last week’s 9,275 tons, and that meant the volcano was pushing new magma up to the crater in preparation for a violent explosion. U.S. Geological Survey studied radar images of the caldera captured by the European Space Agency's ERS-2 satellite during two passes over the park. Using a technique called interferometry--whereby radar measurements from two different vantage points are combined to give a measure of height--the scientists confirmed measurements on the ground that showed the land rising. But the images also revealed that a roughly 12-mile-wide circle of land centered at the northern rim of the caldera is still rising while land to its south is sinking. The source of that uplift, according to data revealed in today's Nature, lies more than seven miles underground. Mayon Update: Lava Trail Reaches 6 Km PDZ Mayon Volcano: Lava trail on Saturday has breached the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) by 90 meters as the toe of the lava front slowly crept along the Mabinit and Bonga gullies. Volcano in Ecuador Erupts A volcanic eruption in Ecuador's Andes mountains killed at least one person and left more than 60 others missing, the mayor of a village on the volcano's slope said Thursday.  QUITO  - Some 1,500 people have been evacuated from the slopes of the Tungurahua volcano, 135 kilometers (85 miles) south of Quito, after it started spewing lava and ash in an eruption authorities said followed a 4.7 degree earthquake. At least five people died, dozens were missing and 13 others were injured after the volcano called Tungurahua spewed lava, rock and ash, burying five villages. The Tungurahua volcano. Satellite images acquired by ESA's Envisat satellite have revealed the volcanic region of the Phlegrean Fields, located in southern Italy near the city of Naples, has entered a new uplift phase. Montserrat Volcano Spews Ash and Steam The volcano is extremely active," observatory director Sue Loughlin. Thursday’s blasts sounded like jets flying over the tiny British territory. Thousands of villagers living around the slopes of Indonesia's Mount Karangetang are tending their fields while the simmering volcano emits lava.
 
July - Volcanoes 2006:   Montserrat’s Volcano Blows But Stays At level 4 BRADES, Montserrat: scientists reported that there had been a dome collapse with an associated ash plume of over 12,000 feet. However, the volcano alert level remained at four, indicating that there exists still a possibility of serious eruptive activity that could affect inhabited areas.Jul 4, 2006. Mayon Volcano Acts Up as Bulusan Quadruples Sulfur Dioxide Emissions. Government scientists are closely monitoring Mayon Volcano in Albay as its abnormal behavior such as crater glow and sulfur dioxide emission are again in an increasing trend. A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a reservoir of molten rock below the surface of the earth. Unlike most mountains, which are pushed up from below, volcanoes are built up by an accumulation of their own eruptive products. When pressure from gases within the molten rock becomes too great, an eruption occurs. Eruptions can be quiet or explosive. There may be lava flows, flattened landscapes, poisonous gases, and flying rock and ash. Scores Flee As Volcano Erupts In Colombia Bogota - Authorities were evacuating about 8 000 people in southwestern Colombia on Wednesday following a volcanic eruption. A minor eruption of the 4 275m Galeras volcano at 6pm prompted authorities to declare a state of maximum alert as they waited to see if further explosions would occur, said Eduardo Gonzalez, head of the government's disaster prevention office.  Mt. Mayon Lava Fragments Collapse LEGAZPI CITY - Government volcanologists rushed to the municipality of Malilipot, Albay, following reports of rock falls and ash falls on vegetation that alarmed residents of Calbayog village and nearby areas. Because of their intense heat, lava flows are great fire hazards. Lava flows destroy everything in their path, but most move slowly enough that people can move out of the way.  Mayon Volcano Erupts In The Philippines MANILA, Philippines - The Mayon volcano erupted Friday, a day after ejecting ash amid swarms of earthquakes, the Philippines‘chief volcanologist said.  Volcanic eruptions can be accompanied by other natural hazards, including earthquakes, mudflows and flash floods, rock falls and landslides, acid rain, fire, and (under special conditions) tsunamis.Villages Evacuated Near Volcano In Papua New Guinea Hundreds of people have been evacuated from villages near a Papua New Guinea volcano following strong tremors that scientists warn could mean an eruption is near. Active volcanoes in the U.S. are found mainly in Hawaii, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest. Active volcanoes of the Cascade Mountain Range in California, Oregon, and Washington have created problems recently. The danger area around a volcano covers approximately a 20-mile radius. Some danger may exist 100 miles or more from a volcano, leaving Montana and Wyoming at risk. Villagers flee Ecuador eruption.  Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano has spewed ash, gases and molten rocks, forcing authorities to evacuate four nearby villages. Sideways directed volcanic explosions, known as "lateral blasts," can shoot large pieces of rock at very high speeds for several miles. These explosions can kill by impact, burial, or heat. They have been known to knock down entire forests.  FEMA Fact Sheet.   Thousands Flee as Ecuador Volcano Erupts  Cusua, Ecuador: At least 3,700 villagers have evacuated their homes in Ecuador, following heavy eruptions from the Tunguarahua volcano.  Authorities said on Saturday the volcano had drastically changed its behavior, expelling toxic gasses and at least four lava flows for the first time since activity resumed seven years ago. Jul 16, 2006 Ecuador volcano explosion destroys homes of 100,000 residents. Mayon Volcano: Explosive Eruption Likely  ECUADOR -  Lava flows, quakes point to coming big eruption. LEGAZPI CITY—Red-hot lava poured down the slopes of Mayon Volcano accompanied by more tremors for the fourth straight day yesterday, indicating an eruption may happen soon, scientists said. A continuous stream of lava from Sunday night until early Monday and increased seismic activity indicated “heightened unrest of the volcano, which could lead to explosive eruption,” the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology warned. The lava flow was accompanied by 113 tremors—“significantly higher than the 111 tremor episodes recorded yesterday,” the agency said.  Scientists worry over Mount Fuji volcano. TOKYO -- Japan's Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707, but records suggest the average interval between events is 30 years -- and that is making scientists very nervous. Volcano experts believe Fuji has erupted about 75 times during the past 2,200 years. But during the last 300 years there has not been one such event. Lava-spilling Mayon Volcano Attracts Tourists LEGAZPI -- The lava-spilling Mayon volcano showed no signs of slowing down Tuesday, although scientists reported fewer tremors, and the mayor of the town at the foothill of the mountain invited tourists to enjoy in the spectacle. Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe, threw fire and rocks more than 800ft into the air yesterday. Two West New Britain Volcanoes Set Off HUNDREDS of people were evacuated from villages in the Bialla area of West New Britain province after two volcanoes, which have been quiet for a long time, erupted. Etna Awakes With Storm Of Fire And Lava The explosions are coming from two holes near to the top of the volcano, creating a lava field more than a mile long which is flowing at a rate faster than 90 cubic feet a minute. Even though the eruption has continued for three days, scientists said it had lost little of its force. Mount St. Helens to Close Again After 3.6 Quake MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. -- A magnitude 3.6 earthquake shook Mount St. Helens Tuesday morning, one of the largest earthquakes recorded during the ongoing eruption, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Volcano Adds to Indonesia's Disaster Woes JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Clouds of hot ash and lava flows from a volcano in North Sulawesi are adding to Indonesia's troubles with Mother Nature. MORE than 1000 people from three villages in West New Britain have now been evacuated after two volcanoes, dormant for more than 100 years, erupted. Mount Karai and Mount Bamus began emitting vapor, ash and smoke in the past week.  Thousands Flee As Mayon Ejects Lava Over 1,200 people fled their homes Friday after oozing Mayon volcano ejected tons of lava, triggering secondary pyroclastic flow with the evacuees cowering in fear. Mayon Has Already Spewed 10 Million Cubic Meters of Lava Restive Mayon volcano, which is in the verge of a major eruption, has already spewed close to 10 million cubic meters of lava since last week. Recent signs from Mayon Volcano, which include increasing seismic activity, indicate that it is ripe for a full-blown eruption.  Swarms Of Mount Hood Tremors Baffle Experts A geologist who studies Oregon's tallest volcano in his spare time, Cameron says the uncertain cause of the earthquakes makes Hood intriguing. Scientists say the quakes are produced either by a shallow fault system in the Earth's crust or by magma moving in the dormant volcano's plumbing system. Thousands Evacuated After Volcano On Indonesia's Sulawesi Island Spews Lava MANADO - Thousands of villagers were evacuated after a volcano on an island off Indonesia's eastern coast started spewing lava and hot clouds, officials said.  
 
June - Volcanoes 2006:  INDONESIA - Indonesian authorities have evacuated over 600 people living near Mount Merapi in central Java. Activity increased at the volcano for a ninth straight day. Heat clouds are taking place every hour, pushing toxic gases, ash and lava four kilometers down the southern slope. That is more than double the distance seen before the earthquake on May the 27th. The Volcanology office in Yogyakarta says all settlements within a seven-kilometer radius of the top of the mountain should be abandoned.  PERU - Authorities in southern Peru said Monday they are evacuating about 480 families due to an increase in seismic activity at the Ubinas volcano. Volcano experts put the Ubinas area on orange alert (medium intensity level of seismic activity) on Saturday, after registering several explosions since May 31, including one that spewed glowing hot lava 200 meters (656 feet) into the air. In April, the last time the Ubinas volcano registered an alarming increase in seismic activity, its crater doubled in size to 80 meters (262 feet) in less than a week and more than 200 people fled from their homes by their own means. Toxic emissions from the volcano on that occasion caused the death of about 50 llamas and alpacas.  JAPAN - Sakurajima, one of Japan's most active volcanoes, has erupted near the southern Japanese city of Kagoshima. Smoke and ash rose high above the island's northern peak. Over 600,000 people live in the shadow of the volcano which is only a few kilometers off the port serving Kagoshima city. Thousands of small explosions occur each year on Sakurajima, throwing ash thousands of kilometers into the sky. The last major eruption occurred in 1914, though most of the residents fled before the volcano engulfed several islands nearby and swallowed part of the bay of Kagoshima. PHILIPPINES - Legazpi City officials and their disaster management offices are updating contingency plans for the impending major eruption of Mount Bulusan. Mount Bulusan is under alert level 1 and the four-kilometer permanent danger warning is in effect. An eruption would affect about 45,000 residents. Mt. Kanlaon - Mountain climbers and other trekkers have been advised to defer any planned climbs at the Mt. Kanlaon park area until further notice after Mt. Kanlaon emitted smoke over the weekend. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, in an advisory released Monday, also reminded people that the four-kilometer permanent danger zone of Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island remained off limits to the public, particularly at this time when sudden ash and steam explosions might occur anytime. Kanlaon Volcano briefly emitted steam and ash Saturday afternoon but the Phivolcs has not raised any alert level yet. Ash deposits were confined to the upper northwest slope of the volcano. INDONESIA has evacuated about 2,000 people from areas at risk from the volcano spewing hot gas and lava, and expects to move thousands more amid signs of increased activity from Mount Merapi. "The lava has spread out in various directions. The lava domes are weakening. Since Monday we have evacuated ... more or less 2000 people. The people that we need to evacuate are around 11,000." The volcano threatens some of the same areas near the ancient royal capital of Yogyakarta that were hit by the May 27 earthquake which killed 5782 people. Today a cloud of gas from Mount Merapi stretched for four km and lava flows had spread up to seven kilometers from the crater. JAPAN- At Sakurajima volcano, more than 7,300 explosive eruptions have been recorded in the past 45 years, but Wednesday was the first time for six decades that it has erupted on its eastern flank. "We have not seen any change in seismic activity, and no sudden explosive eruptions are foreseeable at this moment, but we are nevertheless keeping a close eye." Japan's Miyakejima volcano in the Izu Islands (180 kilometers east of Tokyo) and Meakandake volcano in the northern region of Hokkaido have also begun stirring. The last major eruption at Miyakejima Island occurred in 2000, which forced all islanders to evacuate.  INDONESIA - A shower of hot gas and ash from Indonesia's Mount Merapi has sent more than 15,000 villagers scrambling for safety. The volcano has been venting steam and ash for weeks, but Thursday morning’s burst was the largest yet. A volcanologist said Merapi sent billowing, dark gray clouds avalanching more than three miles down its slopes. It was one of a series of powerful explosions, some spewing columns of ash 1 1/2 kilometers high. Terrified villagers fled to safety. Some jumped into rivers to escape the searing heat, while others dashed down the volcano or clambered onto the backs of trucks. Farmers carrying heaps of grass on their head ran down the mountain beneath a rain of ash, as others zipped off on motorcycles. Women clutched children as they jumped into trucks and cars, wiping away tears when they reached emergency shelters. "I thought, this is it. We ran as fast as we could." A shallow 4.2-magnitude aftershock Thursday, 27 kilometers south of the peak, may have speeded things along.  PHILIPPINES - The Philippines raised the alert level on one of its most active volcanoes and warned residents on Thursday to stay away from the mountain after its crater belched ash clouds. Bulusan volcano in central Philippines spewed ash nearly 2 km (1 mile) high, prompting authorities to raise the alert level to 2 from 1, ordered in March when ash first began flowing from its crater. "We are seeing an increasing frequency of ash explosions." In nearby Casiguran town, thousands of face masks were distributed to residents after volcanic ash fell on homes in the coastal community's 25 villages. Schools were closed and the Office of Civil Defence urged residents not to drink ground water because of possible contamination. At level 3 an explosion is considered possible, at level 4 it is seen as likely and at level 5, the highest alert, an eruption has occurred with lava flows or ash columns reaching 6 km. Officials said as many as 50,000 people would be evacuated in case of a major volcanic eruption. Bulusan has had five ash eruptions since March.  PHILIPPINES- A farmer died of an asthma attack from exposure to volcanic ash even as the government suspended classes in 23 elementary and high schools in Sorsogon following Bulusan’s series of explosions on Wednesday. The government also declared Casiguran town in a state of calamity as ashfalls continued to affect it and other towns including Escuala, Mabini, San Juan, Tigbao, San Francisco, Inlagadian and Kasay. Ash from Bulusan damaged a number of houses in villages surrounding the mountain, but residents were unharmed and staying put. Scientists recorded zero visibility in several places in Casiguran on Wednesday caused by thick volcanic ash from the series of explosions. Preparations were under way to evacuate about 8,000 residents from at least seven villages in case of a major eruption. Four — Mayon in Albay, Bulusan in Sorsogon, Kanlaon in Negros Oriental, and Taal in Batangas — but this is just coincidental. "Physically, each volcano has their own magma chamber. These (magma chambers) are not connected physically." "It just so happened that the (four) volcanoes are active all at the same time." Other active volcanoes in the country which are continuously being monitored include Hibok-Hibok in Camiguin and Pinatubo located on the boundaries of Pampanga, Tarlac, and Zambales.  INDONESIA - Searing hot gas and volcanic debris have forced thousands of villagers to flee the slopes of Mount Merapi. The eruption comes a day after government scientists lowered the alert level at the volcano. The volcano nearly enveloped Kaliadem village, the closest residential area to the peak, just six kilometers away, with a searing gas cloud during the eruption Wednesday, and forced thousands of residents to evacuate just a day after officials lowered the alert level and people returned home. "The situation is ... life-threatening." Five villagers were reported unaccounted for after the eruption. Media reports said that several apparently uninhabited buildings close to the peak had been incinerated. Ash covered one village seven kilometers (4.5 miles) west of the crater with a gray blanket two centimeters (an inch) thick, and a rain of soot continued to fall after dusk across many districts. "A heavy rain of ash and sand poured down on villagers." Philippine Volcano Ejects Ash The Philippines' restive Mount Bulusan spewed ash and pebbles in a new explosion Sunday, and officials said about 40 families living near the volcano have agreed to temporarily evacuate to a safer area, officials said. Indonesia's Mount Merapi Volcano Spews Hot Clouds, Volcanic Debris Indonesia's Mount Merapi was still on high alert Monday as the volcano in Indonesia's densely populated Central Java continued to spew hot clouds of gas and debris down its slopes, officials said. Mount Merapi releases hot cloud of volcanic ash and gas as seen from Deles, Central Java, Indonesia. The rumbling volcano sent deadly avalanches of searing hot gas and debris roiling down its scorched slopes Wednesday, as a scientist warned the peak's fragile lava dome still posed a threat to thousands of villagers. Gas, Debris Surge From Indonesian Volcano Indonesia's Mount Merapi sent avalanches of searing hot gas and debris roiling down its scorched slopes Wednesday, and a scientist warned that the peak's fragile lava dome still posed a threat to thousands of villagers. Lahar Flows Threaten Sorsogon Towns Lahar and other volcanic debris cascaded down the slopes of Mt. Bulusan yesterday after heavy rain, sending residents in Casiguran and Irosin to flee to higher ground, officials said yesterday. Huge Underwater Volcano Discovered off Sicily An underwater volcano with a base larger than Washington DC has been discovered just off the shores of Sicily, a scientist with Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said. Mayon, 3 Other Volcanoes Acting Up PHILIPPINES - Four volcanoes either spewed steam and ash or recorded high-frequency earthquakes yesterday, prompting scientists to say that three of them could erupt in coming days.  Ngauruhoe Rumbles With Activity Until now, the volcano has been largely silent since it last blew in 1975. But for the past two weeks, Ngauruhoe, which is located in a chain of volcanoes that sit in Tongariro National Park, has been showing signs of activity.  ECUADOR- Tungurahua volcano registered 50 explosions in 24 hours Tuesday. It is now experiencing "shivers": constant tremors inside the crater's bed. Volcanologists have observed constant emissions of gas, ash and water vapor that is forming a cloud around 1 km above the volcano's crater. Flocks of villagers living near the volcano, located 135 km from the capital Quito, have voluntarily left their homes, saying the loud explosions made it hard for them to sleep at night.
 
May - Volcanoes 2006:  INDONESIA - Mount Merapi has grown 10 meters in height in three days with pools of lava forming at its smoking summit. Volcano watchers said a new dome of lava had formed in recent days and was getting bigger all the time, while yellow clouds of sulphur continued to spew out. "The dome has appeared on the southern part of the peak, while tremors are fluctuating in high numbers." Lava domes mean the cone-shaped volcano could erupt any day and its top has grown as trapped magma from a reservoir 1.5km below the summit began welling up on Sunday. "We no longer need to do measurements. Magma is already at the surface." Authorities have yet to order villagers living on the mountain to evacuate.  WASHINGTON - Mount St. Helen's volcano rumbled back to life in September 2004. Small eruptions continue each day. The new lava dome is growing at the rate of six feet per day and is now larger than the dome formed between 1980 and 1986. INDONESIA - Residents of Sengi hamlet on the slope of Mt Merapi on Wednesday asked to be evacuated as they had heard rumbling sounds coming from the volcano`s top. "They have been hearing the rumbling sounds since yesterday (Tuesday), an indication that Mount Merapi is to erupt." "The thunder-like sounds come at unpredictable moments, sometimes at noon, other times in the evening or at night." Mount Merapi has been placed under an alert status since April 12 and was expected to erupt within seven to 10 days. Former President Soekarnoputri has said Mt Merapi might erupt before May 6. "This is not a prediction, but a possibility. After studying the activities of the volcano, it appears that by May 6 an eruption may take place." However, volcanologists would not predict when Mount Merapi would erupt. INDONESIA - Lava started pouring down the slopes of Mount Merapi early yesterday, but stopped a few miles from inhabited areas. Indonesian authorities are preparing to evacuate thousands of people. Scientists have yet to raise the threat level to the highest alert, which would require the immediate evacuation of villages on Merapi's fertile slopes and foothills. But the lava flows and burning around the crater suggest that pressure within the volcano is reaching a critical point. "The new crater holds between 80,000 and 100,000 cubic meters of magma." If the pressures continue to increase it would create either of two things, namely the magma would slide down to the south east side (if the crater is not strong to contain the magma), or the crater (if it was strong enough), would widen to the left side and would hold some four million cubic meters of magma which in turn could create new craters in the west side. On Thursday morning, Merapi spewed molten lava, with a flowing distance of around 200 meters from its peak at around 02.00 a.m. At least 25 multiphase tremors and seven lava fallouts were recorded. Earlier, on Wednesday (May 3), some 197 multiphase tremors, two tectonic earthquakes, a shallow volcanic earthquake and 29 fallouts were recorded. More magma is expected to escape from beneath the volcano. PERU- After 40 years of dormancy, the Ubinas volcano in southern Peru has been spewing out toxic smoke and ash over the last few weeks. Most activity stopped by April 16, but most experts believe the reprieve is only temporary. A dome of molten lava is visibly building up inside the volcano, signaling that a high risk of explosive force may soon follow. So what has made the Ubinas volcano awaken after four decades of sleep? A clue may be that at the same time Ubinas has become active again, other volcanoes in Galeras, Columbia, and Lascar, Chile, among others in the region, have also flared up in recent weeks. Those recently active South American volcanoes are affected by the shifting of certain plates. (Article has lots of links to understanding basic vulcanology) WASHINGTON - Something amazing is happening on Mount St. Helens. As the winter clouds that hide the volcano from view for much of the year clear away, scientists have caught their first glimpse of a huge new mountain growing 5 feet higher per day inside the crater. Scientists call it the “fin,” because the 300-foot tall slab of magma and rock stands straight up, and look remarkably like a fin from one angle. Right now it's about the size of a football field standing on end. It started growing in November and is steadily moving west, pushing rock and other debris out of its way as it goes. The fin is just the latest in a series of at least seven distinct structures that have grown, then disintegrated inside the crater over the last year and a half. There is some concern that while the fin is growing straight up fueled by rocky magma from within the mountain, more energy is also pushing outward. The crater's dome is pushing outward at a rate of about one meter a day. A quarter century ago it was just such an outward bulge that eventually blew — not up, but outward, killing 57 people. At least for now the mountain erupts in a relatively slow, steady pattern.  INDONESIA- Mount Merapi volcano billowed ominous clouds of ash Saturday as a giant lava dome bulged off of its southern slope. Ash blasted more than 650 yards into the air and deep, sluggish lava oozed out of the mountain's cauldron. The lava dome has grown tenfold in less than a week, forming a 90-yard wide glowing bubble.  HAWAII- The East Lae'apuki lava bench on the ever-changing coastline at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park has grown to 44 acres, creating ONE OF THE LARGEST DELTAS IN THE 23-YEAR HISTORY of the Kilauea eruption. The bench, fed by underground lava tubes, is larger than the 34 acres of newly formed land that collapsed into the sea without warning on Nov. 28, 2005. The new bench is about 1,110 yards long and 347 yards wide, or roughly the size of 40 football fields. It is expanding out over a steep underwater slope, on top of the rubble from the previous collapse and other volcanic debris. The new bench is extremely unstable and prone to submarine landslides. Observatory scientists who recently flew over the lava bench in a helicopter reported large cracks running parallel to the coastline. They were surprised to see water in most of the cracks. Officials said that despite warnings, a small number of people continue to enter the closed area at night, sometimes venturing out onto the bench. Steam explosions from bench collapses can send lava spatter and large rocks into the air. Collapses also create waves of scalding water that can wash onshore, burning onlookers. There have been four deaths in recent years associated with active lava benches. RUSSIA- Weeks of mild ash eruptions have stained the snow around the Karymsky volcano of far eastern Russia. Karymsky is the most active volcano in the chain of volcanoes that line the east coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Its current activity began on November 15, 2001. RUSSIA - Eruption of the volcano Bezymyanny, located in the central area of the Kamchatka Peninsula began Tuesday. The Bezymyanny is belching out ash to the altitude of 13 kilometers to 15 kilometers above sea level and the trail of smoke and ash is spreading northwards and northeastwards. Researchers are closely watching the natural phenomenon but they say it does not pose any threat to population centers. INDONESIA - Officials monitoring Mount Merapi volcano raised the threat status to a red alert, the highest level. They recorded 27 tremors from the volcano on Saturday. Many residents say they are waiting for specific signs - such as clouds in the shape of a sheep's fleece - to show them an eruption is imminent. But scientists are convinced of the danger, although they still cannot say when the volcano will erupt nor how powerful any explosion might be. Mount Merapi's pyrotechnic displays continue unabated with mini explosions sending clouds of burning ash, small rocks and spurts of lava high into the sky. Merapi is now in a state of "constant lava flow".  There were three reasons why the status of the volcano had been raised from "alert" to "caution" level. Firstly, the volcano`s lava dome has now turned red with increased pressure that could cause the lava to slide. Small hot clouds had also grown in number, while the smell of sulphur was also increasing. "We cannot be sure when the caution status will end. What is clear is that the process of hot cloud formation has begun and we are just waiting for big clouds to come." 30 blazing lava flows have been streaming towards rivers 1.5 kilometers from the volcano's peak along the south-western slopes of the mountain. A lava dome atop Mount Merapi has grown 75 meters in the past two weeks. Scientists say its collapse will release lava as well as deadly nuees ardentes, a geological term for clouds of volcanic gases, ash, and dust reaching temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius.  ECUADOR - Tungurahua volcano is emitting its loudest and most frequent explosions since it rumbled back to life nearly seven years ago after eight decades of inactivity, scientists said. The volcano registered 133 explosions of vapor and gas between Wednesday and Friday. But the increased activity was not necessarily a sign of an imminent eruption. INDONESIA- Activity on Mount Merapi has intensified, with continuous clouds of ash, gas and rock fragments spewing from its crater. One of the emissions sent a pile of debris 4km (2.5 miles) down one side of the mountain. So far there have been no confirmed reports of fresh lava flows from Mount Merapi on Monday, but the volcano is becoming more active by the day. At least one village about 3 km (2 miles) from the crater has already been covered in a thin coat of volcanic ash. By Sunday more than 4,500 people living in the villages closest to the crater, or next to rivers that could provide channels for hot lava, had been moved to emergency shelters. Many more are still lining up by the side of the road, waiting for trucks to take them to safety. There were more than 100 volcanic tremors Sunday. More than 90 tremors usually indicate an imminent eruption. Several streams of orange and black lava could be seen rolling down the slopes of Mount Merapi throughout the day on Sunday, merging with two mountain rivers nearly two kilometers, or more than a mile, from the crater. The closest villages are only three kilometers from Merapi's peak. VANUATU - Monday a volcanic eruption on Lopevi in Malampa province has caused heavy ash fall on nearby islands. They have yet to grade the magnitude of the eruption because scientists have not yet arrived at the site of the volcano. The nearby islands of Ambrym and Paama have been feeling the effects of the eruption. There was a volcano eruption in December last year on the remote Ambae Island of Vanuatu. Villagers around have been evacuated for about one month from the path of a possible lahar, or mud flow. The South Pacific Vanuatu group is a string of more than 80 islands, most of the islands being inhabited. ECUADOR - Tungurahua volcano is maintaining a "high level" of seismic activity, with repeated explosions. The blasts can be heard within a radius of 20 kilometers (some 12 miles) of the volcano. The volcano was emitting plumes loaded mostly with water vapor, volcanic gases and low concentrations of ash. A "moderate to large" explosion occurred early Monday and was heard by residents of several nearby communities. Scientists estimate that an eruption could last months or even years. Ecuadorian officials issued an alert for the area around the volcano as a precaution. If volcanic activity increases markedly, the alert would be raised to an emergency level and evacuations would begin.  INDONESIA- Activity on the Indonesian volcano Mount Merapi appears has calmed down but scientists are warning it still poses a threat. Lava is continuing to flow down the sides of the mountain although the clouds of hot gas, ash and rock fragments appear much smaller. No ash falls have been reported, unlike on Monday when fields and houses around the mountain were coated in grey ash. MONTSERRAT- the volcano on the Caribbean island of Montserrat erupted Saturday, sending burning gas, volcanic rock and ashes careening down the mountain slopes and into the sea. The eruption had been expected for months, and the local population had taken precautions. The dome collapsed sending clouds of ash more than 16 kilometers into the sky. The spewing ash caused lightning and thunder above the collapsed dome. A rainstorm during the collapse sent torrents of mud and rocks down the slopes. Sunday the activity returned to 'normal'.  INDONESIA- Mount Merapi on Wednesday morning spewed out 11 clouds of hot ash until 06.00 a.m. local time, a significant increase compared to the same period on Tuesday when the volcano belched out 5 clouds of hot ash. The volcano triggered 76 tremors and 22 multiphase quakes during the same period on Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, Mount Merapi expelled massive clouds of hot ash for 46 times, compared to 25 times on Monday. Also on Tuesday they recorded a total of 86 multiphase tremors, and 316 fallen quakes. VANUATU - Three volcanoes in Vanuatu's volatile "ring of fire" were Saturday under close watch after spitting rocks, ash and steam over the South Pacific island in recent days. A fourth volcano was causing concern after signs it could be building toward a fresh eruption. "There seems to be an upsurge in activity around the ring of fire that runs through the archipelago." YASUR Volcano on Tanna Island in the south was causing the most concern after it was classified as Level 2 - likely to erupt - and it is firing out explosive rocks. The volcano on uninhabited LOPEVI Island has spurted sulfurous ash into the sky, causing havoc on 10 surrounding islands including Paama whose inhabitants fled earlier due to the debris. Lopevi had stopped spitting ash and smoke, though scientists were closely watching its ash spumes. Villagers in Paama have appealed to the Vanuatu government for help securing new sources of drinking water after existing ones were contaminated by ash and debris. Vital crops have also been destroyed. Observation teams had gone to the sites of the two other suddenly active volcanoes - MARUM and BENBOW on the island of Ambryn - but had yet to report back on their findings. Lake Vui on top of Mount MANARO in the center of Ambae Island has turned to gray in recent days. The change indicates that it is likely to erupt. It last erupted late November 2005, forcing the evacuation of half the island's 10,000 inhabitants to safe areas at either end of the island. It was its first eruption in 121 years.
 
April - Volcanoes 2006:  TANZANIA - A volcano in northern Tanzania known to locals as "the mountain of God" has erupted, forcing about 3,000 people to flee clouds of ash. Oldonyo Lengai Mountain erupted on Sunday and Monday. Oldonyo Lengai is the only remaining active volcanic mountain in Tanzania and its last significant eruption was in 1983, though the inside of the crater is active year-round. COLUMBIA- While 55 percent of inhabitants in high-risk areas have already been moved to safe places, the Colombian government has decided anyway to stop people´s circulation through roads near Galeras volcano. According to experts, the increase in seismic movements in the Galeras volcano has forced the authorities to pass from alert 3 to level 2, which implies that a new eruption may happen anytime within days or weeks. To avoid potential victims and material damages, the government has ordered the evacuation of more than 9,000 people living in the high-risk department of Narino, and in the municipalities of Pasto, Narino and La Florida. INDONESIA - The Barren Island Volcano erupted on April 5, sending a plume of volcanic ash and steam toward the northeast over the Andaman Sea. This is the only historically active volcano in the north-south volcanic arc between Sumatra and Myanmar (Burma). ALASKA- There was a minor eruption at a volcano in Alaska Thursday, but it wasn't Augustine creating the noise this time. Mt. Veniaminof on the Alaska Peninsula began to emit ash in the morning. The weather service issued an ashfall advisory for areas to the east of the volcano including the community of Chignik. CALIFORNIA - Three members of a ski-patrol team, including an avalanche expert, died Thursday when they fell into a volcanic fissure at the Mammoth Mountain resort, about 6 hours from Los Angeles. After they fell, two of the men could be heard calling for help and then were silent within a minute or two. They were probably asphyxiated by poisonous gas spewing from the vent. The vent releases volcanic gas from deep within the earth. It is normally surrounded by a plastic fence to keep skiers away, but the fence had been nearly buried by a RECORD 52 feet of snow. The patrol went to the site Thursday to raise the fence before opening the area. The snow under the team collapsed, causing two patrol members to fall 21 feet to the rocky bottom of the 6-foot-diameter hole. A third patrol member attempted a rescue and died, and a fourth man then went in wearing an oxygen mask, but he also fell unconscious. Another patrol member then held his breath, went in about 15 feet, hooked a rope to the fourth man, and pulled him out. INDONESIA - Government authorities in Indonesia's densely-populated Central Java have banned mountain climbers from Merapi volcano as the province's crater has heated up. The volcano has increased in activity since mid-March, and scientists have since closely monitored its activity. Volcanic tremors had risen in frequency to nearly 100 on Sunday, while hot lava was seen sliding down into the area of Pasar Bubar village, about 350-metres from the Merapi's crater. Vulcanologists have upgraded the volcano's alert stage one level below ordering an evacuation and two below a full eruption. MONTESERRAT - Residents in Montserrat are being warned of increased dangers as a result of the "vigorous resumption of dome growth" within the Soufriere Hills volcano. A preliminary statement issued by the Scientific Advisory Committee said the eight month old lava dome had grown within the crater to a height of about 250 meters above its base. The scientists say while the dome must grow much larger to approach the size of that of late 2002 to 2003, the potential for collapse of the dome lava leading to pyroclastic flows in the Gage's valley and Tyer's Ghaut has increased. An undersea volcano in the Pacific is growing from its summit and could breach the ocean surface within a few decades, a new study reveal. In the meantime, it is creating a thriving environment for some sea creatures, but a death trap for others. The Vailulu'u Seamount is an active volcano lying off the coast of the Samoan archipelago. The volcano has sprouted a new 1,000-foot cone at its summit since it was last explored 5 years ago. INDONESIA- A huge volcano in the heart of densely populated Java today was spewing thick clouds of smoke and hot lava, triggering plans to evacuate thousands of villagers. Authorities placed Mount Merapi, on Orange Code, or the second highest alert level. "Due to a high level of tremor activities and the spewing of the lava, Mount Merapi is now on alert status." Officials said the military had deployed more than 200 trucks and buses to evacuate villagers living on the slopes. TANZANIA - A travel warning has been issued for Oldonyo Lengai Mountain, following two major volcanic eruptions last month. The alert was said to be necessary because more volcanic eruption was imminent. "We have been forced to take precautionary measures, because we are not sure when another eruption will occur and to what proportions." The advisory also warned the local people living around the mountain to vacate for their own safety. TANZANIA - Experts have moved in to investigate the increasing incidents of volcanic eruptions at Oldonyo Lengai Mountain in Ngorongoro in Arusha egion which has been sending shockwaves to the whole region. Though the volcano at the mountain is live, and has been erupting frequently almost every year, the numbers of eruption and dimensions have been on the rise daily in recent months. "I have seen for sure the eruptions this year are bigger than any other time. But we are lucky that nobody or animal has been affected as a result so far." Late last month, a volcano erupted on Mt Oldonyo Lengai forcing over 3,000 inhabitants to flee from the area. The eruption rocked the villages of Nayobi, Magadini, Engaruka, Malambo, Ngaresero, Gelai-bomba and Kitumbeine. There was an exodus after the volcanic mountain rumbled into a red-hot landslide, spewing scalding fumes and lava all over the neighbourhood. A major explosive eruption took place from January to about June in 1917. Ash was deposited as much as 25 - 30 miles away. The mountain is less than 370,000 years old, and is the youngest volcano in the Rift Valley. PERU - Officials urged the small farming town of Querapi in southern Peru to evacuate on Tuesday after a volcano sent smoke and ash 2,600 feet (800 meters) into the air, but residents were reluctant to leave. "A yellow alert has been called, which means precaution due to emission of gases and steam. Civil Defense has sent small anti-gas masks to the town of Querapi and covers for their water deposits." The volcano has not been this active since 1969. The volcano, in the Moquegua region 550 miles (900 km) south of Lima, has been belching for much of the month. It has sent ash and sulfur as far away as the town of Ubinas, home to 3,500 people five miles (eight km) away. Small tremors have also been felt in nearby towns. Emissions had affected crops and water sources. PERU- At least 1,000 people have suffered respiratory problems from a tower of ash spewing from the Ubinas volcano in southern Peru, and 20 llamas have died after eating poisoned grass. The volcano continued to spit out ash and smoke on Wednesday, and the wind was carrying it north. In recorded history, Ubinas has never had a lava eruption. In the hamlet of Querapi, home to 42 farming families three miles from the volcano, Civil Defense authorities distributed gas masks and recommended evacuation earlier this week. INDONESIA- Mount Merapi status - On the 18th they observed 113 multi-phase tremors, 8 streams of lava, 7 volcanic tremors, and white and thick SO2 smoke of 400 m height from the crater. They confirmed on April 19th that based on the scientific data, Mt. Merapi will most likely erupt. The Government of Indonesia is working on a third case scenario, one level below the worst-case scenario, anticipating over 80,000 people to be displaced. Communities were encouraged not to conduct any activities in the river having its upper course at Mt. Merapi. Large amounts of evacuation supplies, tents, ambulances and 160 body bags have been mobilized. PERU- The Ubinas volcano in southern Peru threw plumes of smoke high into the sky today, prompting authorities to declare an "orange alert" to encourage villagers to evacuate the area. The explosion sent gases high into the sky, forming a gigantic mushroom-shaped cloud that stretched more than 1km above the earth. Livestock have been poisoned by eating grass that is coated with volcanic ash. "They've told us we've got to learn to live with the volcano and the ash, but we'd never seen anything like this," said a peasant farmer. "We're terrified." The Ubinas volcano is one of the most active in Peru. It erupted 17 times from 1550 until 1969, when it was last active. COLUMBIA-The Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining changed the alert level for Galeras Volcano to II (likely eruption in days or weeks). The area is in a critical state due to the creation of a solidified lava dome capping the main crater and a reduction of seismic activity of the volcano. Most eruptions of the volcano over the past 17 years have occurred when these parameters were similar. April 18 they reported an overall volume of the lava dome corresponding to 3,200,000 m3 (a volume approximately 15 times that of eruptions in 1992). National and local authorities are making progress in upgrading 12 temporary shelters in the three municipalities concerned. Approximately 489 households (2,366 persons) are now hosted in five temporary shelters in Pasto municipality. Another 7 temporary shelters remain empty. Due to the reluctance of the major part of the population to move from high risk areas, the authorities have asked the UN system to help them persuade communities at risk to move to safe locations. In the event of an eruption, water sources would be contaminated and access routes could be blocked for 4 to 5 days. INDONESIA - Authorities in Indonesia's densely populated Central Java province said on Sunday surface tremors and multifaced quakes continue on Mount Merapi and warned that a major eruption could take place in a few days. Vulcanologists said a total of nine surface tremors and as many as 156 multifaceted quakes were recorded from Merapi's crater in the previous 24 hours. "It's very clear something will happen, but it is very difficult to say when." An expert warned that it is merely a "matter of time" before Merapi's status will be upgraded into a state of alert, when residents living on the danger zones will have to flee their homes immediately. RUSSIA - Mount Ebeko, a volcano on the island of Paramushir, which belongs to the Northern Kuril chain in Russia's Far East, has started emitting vapor and gas. There are 36 active volcanoes on the Kuril chain, and at least seven others are also considered to be dangerous, including the Mendeleyev, Golovnin, Tyatya, Grozny, Baransky, Chirip, and Chikurachki. PERU - Peruvian authorities have been sending aid to hundreds of evacuees after declaring a state of emergency in the area near the erupting Ubinas volcano. Gas and cinder began spewing from the volcano in southern Peru three weeks ago. Tons of aid, particularly tents, water and powdered milk, have been shipped into the affected zone. The army has been brought in to help evacuate nearby villages, although some residents are reluctant to leave. The civil defence institute has recommended that the entire population in the district of Ubinas, about 3,500 people, be evacuated as soon as possible. A dome of incandescent lava seems to be building up in the crater.  A volcano on an island in a Russian chain in the Pacific has calmed down after years of sporadic activity. Scientists say Mount Ebeko, on the island of Paramushir, is the most dangerous volcano on the Kuril Islands. The volcano started emitting vapor and gas in February, following phases of activity in 2005, 1999 and 1998. There are 36 active volcanoes on the Kuril chain, and at least seven others are also considered to be dangerous. Mount Vesuvius may be getting ready to blow, but Italians living on the mountain are oddly complacent. In a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, geologists put the chance of an eruption by the end of this calendar year at a whopping one in two. In 2002, scientists at the Vesuvius Observatory warned that the mountain was starting a new cycle of eruptive activity. According to the civil authorities in Naples, they hope to have as much as a 27-day advance warning in order to evacuate the 600,000 residents who live in the so-called "red zone" within a 2.7 mile radius of Vesuvius's cone. If given about a month to plan, they say they can get all these residents to safety within seven days. There's no guarantee that geologists will be able to predict an eruption seven days out. The recent history of Italian volcanic eruptions provides ammunition for both sides. No Italian volcano in the last few decades has erupted without some sort of pre-eruptive seismic activity. Karymsky Volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula showed considerable activity between March 10 and 17. The volcano emitted ash several times, and satellite imagery showed debris, most likely ash, draped along the sides of the mountain. When the skies were clear over the volcano, satellites also observed a thermal anomaly at the summit. In late March, the United States Geological Survey placed Karymsky at code orange, the second-highest level of concern, meaning that the volcano was not erupting or posing a major hazard, but was clearly active and merited careful monitoring. A volcano has spewed a column of ash 1.5 kilometers into the sky, raising fears of a major eruption. Officials are considering increasing the alert level from level one to level three, indicating "moderate unrest", after Mount Bulusan in the central Philippines belched ash an hour before midnight (3am AEDT). The Philippine Institute of Seismology and Vulcanology said the ash was unlikely to cause any harm. More earthquakes had been recorded in the area recently, a possible sign that the volcano may be about to erupt more powerfully. Bulusan had a series of similar explosions in 1994 and 1995. Scots scientists are on an urgent mission to find out if a the Soufriere Hills volcano is about to erupt. The Caribbean island, which belongs to the UK, was devastated by the volcano's eruption in July 1995. Two-thirds of the population fled abroad and only a handful ever returned. The mountain is once again showing signs of activity after a lava dome were spotted growing at its summit. The formation is caused by new magma, which is forced up from within the Earth. The dome will eventually become unstable and collapse with deadly hot rocks and ash flowing down the mountainside. Authorities have demanded the evacuation of nearly 9,000 residents close to Colombia’s most active volcano after the geological institute said an eruption may be days or weeks away. The status of the Galeras volcano was raised to level two following increased activity in the volcano’s core. “I trust the scientists and my feeling is that this could be a big eruption. We are appealing to the common-sense of the people to leave the area of danger and so save their lives.”Villagers living around Mount Oldonyo Lengai in northern Tanzania have fled their homes as the active volcano started erupting again. Minor eruptions at the volcano are not unusual. Eruptions are a common phenomenon at Mount Oldonyo Lengai because they occur almost every year. Eyewitnesses said that they heard rumbling sounds before the volcano began to discharge ashes and lava on Thursday. Mount Oldonyo Lengai is the world's only active sodium carbonite volcano and is therefore the world's only volcano that erupts natrocarbonatite lava. Natrocarbonatite lava usually contains almost no silicon and is much cooler in temperature than other lavas. The last explosive activity of Mount Oldonyo Lengai was recorded in 1966.
 
March - Volcanoes 2006:  Manam volcano erupted on 27th February at 2000 hr (local time). Satellite images showed multiple hotspots at the volcano, and ground observations indicated ash and lava emissions. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the island. Manam volcano produced a large series of eruptions in 2004-05, when 10,000 people were evacuated from the island. The volcano remains dangerous for residents who have returned to their villages. An eruption has occurred at Ulawun volcano in Papua New Guinea. Ash as reported to 10,000 ft. Ulawun volcano is a steep-sided stratovolcano on the Coast of New Britain Island.
 
Febuary - Volcanoes 2006:   A large earthquake hit near Barren Island volcano on Saturday, February 4 at 2:04 am, local time. Eruptions continue at Barren Island volcano with ash plumes visible to 10,000 ft above the volcano on 27 January. Cleveland volcano erupted on Monday 6th February, sending ash to 22,000 ft. A flight restriction was placed below 50,000 feet and a six-mile radius from the volcano. Karymsky volcano in Russia is erupting. A plume of ash has reached 40km from the volcano, to a height of 4 km. The eruption was accompanied by 300 earthquakes. Ash eruptions were reported yesterday at Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat. Ash reached US Virgin Islands and parts of Puerto Rico. The eruptions came after days of elevated seismicity. Helicopter observations indicate continued dome growth. Lava continues to enter the sea at Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. Lava is visible in Pu`u `O`o crater, where it enters a lava tube and travels to the ocean and reappears at East Lae`apuki. Inflation of the volcano summit has been occurring since mid January indicating ongoing lava movement inside the volcano. The inflation totals about 15 micro radians at Kilauea Iki, which is normally a relatively quiet station. In 1959 Kilauea Iki crater was the site of a 1900 ft lava fountain. The number of earthquakes along the upper east rift zone has been unusually high. Some shallow earthquakes are being registered beneath the summit. Recently a spectacular skylight has been visible at the volcano, which is a window into a lava tube. Occasionally there are lava breakouts on the Pali.
 
January - Volcanoes 2006:  Lopevi volcano in Vanuatu Island remains active during January 2006. The eruption, which began in October 2005, has received little attention, but Lopevi remains the second most active volcano in Vanuatu at present. Satellite photos show continuing activity at the volcano. Eruptions continue at Arenal volcano in Costa Rica. On 1st January lava flowed about every 5 minutes down the west side of the volcano.  An eruption began at Augustine volcano, Alaska on Wednesday 11th January at 0444 hr (AST). A second explosion was recorded at 0513hr. Satellite images detected an ash cloud to 30,000 ft. Seismic activity decreased significantly after the explosions, but more activity is expected. An earthquake swarm was detected at Martin Volcano, Alaska on 8-10 January. In the past two days 300 earthquakes have been detected. This compares with the normal background rate of 25 per month. Satellite images do not show any unusual activity. Steaming at the summit is normal at the volcano. New eruptions have occurred at Augustine volcano in Alaska. Small explosions were registered on 13th January at 0355 hr AST, 0847, and 1122. An ash cloud reached 30,000 ft elevation. Seismic recording suggested lahars and pyroclastic flows were generated by the eruption. Alaska Airlines canceled 28 flights on Friday and Saturday as a safety precaution. Volcanic ash is dangerous to aircraft. An ash fall advisory was in effect until 8 AM AST 14th January for western Kenai Peninsula from Ninilchik south. Gas emissions have increased at Mt Etna volcano in Italy. Emissions of brown ash are visible at Bocca Nuova crater. On the 8th January, following the mag 6.8 earthquake in Greece, 14 small earthquakes were detected under the south flank of Etna, near Sapienza.  Another explosive eruption began at Augustine volcano in Alaska at 7:58 A.M. AST (16:58 UTC) on Tuesday 17th January, and lasted 5 minutes. This eruption was larger than those last week, and sent ash 8 miles high. Two earthquakes occurred near Langila volcano in Papua New Guinea on Thursday 19th January. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake occurred at 3:06:55 PM local time north of the volcano. Seventeen seconds later a magnitude 4.6 earthquake hit south of the volcano. Langila is one of the most active volcanoes in the Bismarck arc. Intermittent eruptions are occurring at Lopevi volcano in Vanuatu. Observations from aircraft report vertical plume to 9,000 ft altitude. Ash cloud is expected to 14,000 ft altitude, 600 nautical miles from the volcano in a direction NE to E. Light easterly winds are occurring at the volcano. A major earthquake hit Indonesia on Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 1:58 AM local time. The earthquake measured magniude 7.7 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was located 195 km South of Ambon, in the Banda Sea. No tsunami was reported. The earthquake was felt in Darwin, Australia. Earthquakes of this magnitude sometimes disrupt volcanoes within a 500 km radius. Active volcanoes in the area are Gunung Api, Banda Api, Teon, and Wurlali. A nine minute eruption of Augustine volcano occurred at 2012 hr (local time) on 27th January. Ash cloud reached 40,000 feet and drifted southeast. Another eruption began at 0204 hr on 28th January, with duration of two minutes. Seismicity remains elevated. The renewed eruptions occurred after ten days of quiet.

     Greetings to Everyone: I’ve been studying the Bible for 40 years and teaching/preaching for 30 years. In order to help other individuals who are seeking Spiritual Knowledge and Truth, I have recently created five Websites. They primarily deal with how God will use the earth, by way of shifting the tectonic plates to produce earthquake and volcanic activity to fulfill the Biblical description of The Great Tribulation Period. I go into great detail towards providing information and various links, by making an attempt to show how each phase of the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures give details to this End of the World time period. It will actually be a transition of the Age of Grace, the past 2,000 years; into the Millennial Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. These geological events are presently in the beginning stages and will accelerate within the next few years. Just as God destroyed humanity with water during the Great Flood, this time; God will use earthquake and volcanic activity to bring fire from beneath the earth, to literally burn humanity from its surface. Very soon, all of the political corruption, social injustice, immorality and religious hypocrisy will be brought to an end. The masses of humanity and especially the political and religious systems of the world will not be allowed to enter into the Millennial Reign; nor will those individuals who follow the spirit of the Arab Antichrist, who will arise very soon in the Middle East. This Arab Antichrist will lead an attack against Israel and then form an Arab Empire of Ten Arab Countries. This will be the Ten Countries of the Book of Daniel and the Ten Kings of the Book of Revelation. A massive earthquake will occur in the Jordan River Valley to stop his army and this will be the beginning of The Great Tribulation Period. It will set in motion all of the tectonic plates of the earth, producing earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. These events will then increase for 3 ½ years, until the Lord Jesus Christ returns and begin His Millennial Reign. I believe it's in our best interest to be informed of these events and not be caught unaware. God Bless You in your spiritual search for His will in your life.   

These Ten Toes on the Feet of this image represent the last worldly kingdom in the Middle East that will have direct influence upon Israel. It will consist of Ten Arab Countries. It will be during  the “days of these kings” in which God will establish the Millennial Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. This Arab Empire/Kingdom will only last for 3 ½ years.

Daniel 2: [31] Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. [32] This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, [33] His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. [34] Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces.

Daniel 2:  [41] And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. [45] Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Daniel 7: [24a] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:

These Ten Kings are the same Ten Toes of the image in the Book of Daniel. These Ten Arab Kings will give their authority to the Arab Antichrist or the Islamic Beast of the Book of Revelation. This Arab/Islamic Empire will last for 42 months or 3 ½ years. All of this will start, when this Arab leader attacks Israel from Syria, with the help of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and the terrorists groups of Hamas, Hezbollah, along with the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, including whatever other dozen or so terrorist groups/factions exist in the surrounding area.

This Arab Antichrist/Beast will be empowered by the Dragon/Devil/Satan. His followers will worship him. Those who do not worship him will be killed. This killing will be widespread, especially in the Islamic countries. The other Beast is the False Prophet or Pope of the Roman Catholic Religious System in Rome, Italy. He will also be given great power by the Devil, to show signs, in order to deceive countless billions of people, in worshipping this Arab Antichrist. The Arab Antichrist, the False Prophet and those individuals who worship the Beast, will have their names blotted out of the Book of Life before the foundations of the world, because God knows who they were, even before they were born. They will all be cast into the eternal lake of fire.

Revelation 13:  [1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. [2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. [3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. [7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred’s, and tongues, and nations. [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. [9] If any man have an ear, let him hear. [10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. [11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. [12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. [13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

All of the followers who worship the Arab Antichrist will be tormented in the eternal lake of fire forever and forever.

Revelation 14:  [9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, [10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: [11] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

After the spiritually saved of the earth have been removed from the earth at the sounding of the seventh trumpet, the seven vials of the Wrath of God will begin and last for 45 days. It will be plagues of wrath primarily designed for the followers of the Arab Antichrist, the False Prophet and the spiritually lost of humanity whose souls exist in a state of blasphemy against God. Toward the very end of this 45 day period, the Arab Antichrist will gather his Islamic army to finally make an attempt to destroy the people in Israel in the Negev wilderness. As he marches southward, the greatest earthquake in the history of humanity will occur in the Jordan River Valley and open up the valley into a massive crack, which will be filled with lava. The heat blast and lava will kill most of the army and Israel will be saved by the power of God. The earthquake will set up a chain reaction of worldwide earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. All the cities of the world will be destroyed by global earthquake activity and volcanic eruptions.

Revelation 16:  [1] And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. [2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast and upon them which worshipped his image. [3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [5] And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shall be, because thou hast judged thus. [6] For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. [7] And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. [8] And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. [9] And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. [10] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19]And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

The Roman Catholic Religious System of Rome, Italy is the: Great Whore… It is: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. It will be accepted by Muslims in the Islamic countries for several years, but towards the end of this 3 ½ year time period, the Muslims will kill some of the Catholic people and burn their buildings throughout the Ten Islamic countries under control of the Arab Antichrist/Beast of Revelation.

Revelation 17:  [1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel?I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. [11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The Roman Catholic Religious System in Rome, Italy will be completely destroyed by volcanic fire and the remains of the city will be submersed below sea level by the waters of the Tiber River and the in rushing waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The Roman Catholic Religious System of Rome, Italy will judged be God Almighty and the judgment will be with the volcanic fire of hell.

Revelation 18:  [1] And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. [2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. [3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. [4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. [9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, [10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come. [11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: [12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, [13] And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. [14] And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shall find them no more at all. [15] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, [16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! [17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, [18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! [19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate. [20] Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. [21] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. [22] And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; [23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. [24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Revelation 19:   [1] And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: [2] For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. [3] And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up forever and ever.

The Arab/Islamic Antichrist/Beast and the False Prophet/Pope will be cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. This will be their eternal punishment.

Revelation 19:  [19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12.  King James Version.

It is in your best interest to seek Spiritual Truth while you still have time. You only live on this earth for a little while and then your soul will enter the portal of eternity. Make the best use of your time. Seek God as much as you can.

Hebrews 9:  [27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

Romans 14: [10b]  For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

II Corinthians 5:  [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Revelation 20:   [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. [11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. [12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. [13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. [14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. [15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Are You In A True Local New Testament Church???

John, to the seven called out assemblies, which are in Asia; Grace and acceptable favor be unto you and peace with prosperity, with quietness and rest, from Him who is, the One Being and the One who was and the One who is coming to appear and accompany; and from the seven Spirits, who are before and in the presence of the stately seat of His throne of power.  Even from Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who is the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn; first begotten out of the dead; and the first Ruler and Prince of the kings of the earth.  To Him who loved us and exclusively washed us from our sins in His own blood; and has made us kings of a kingdom realm and priests unto Deity; the very exceeding great God, even His Father. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever; to the perpetual Messianic age, to the ages of the ages. Amen. Revelation 1:4-6.

Lo, See and Behold! He is coming with the clouds and every eye will see Him; and they also who pierced Him and all the tribes and races of people of the earth will mourn, wail and beat the breast in grief because of Him.  Even so; Yes and truly; Amen; So let it be; It is trustworthy and firm.  I am Alpha, first and Omega, last, the Beginning and Ending says the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master. The One Being who is and the One Being who was and  the One Being who is to come; I-the One Being; the One Almighty, All-Ruling, Absolute and Universal Sovereign; the Omnipotent. Revelation 1:7-8.
    
And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks-lamp stands.  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks-lamp stands, One like the Son of Man arrayed and having been clothed with a garment reaching the ankles of the feet and a belt fastened about the breast with a golden belt or pocket.   The hairs of His head were white like white wool and as snow; and His eyes and vision were as a blazing flame of lightning fire.  And His feet like in the manner of fine brass burnished copper metal, as if they were thoroughly burned and were ignited by a fiery glowing fire in a furnace; and His voice and tone of purpose of address, as the sound of many and abundant waters.  And He had in His right hand, seven stars; and out of His mouth went a sharp and swift two-edged sword and His countenance was as the sun of light, shines to lighten in its strength, force and power. Revelation 1:12-16.
  
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, Saying unto me; Do not fear, I am the First, foremost in time, order, place of importance, and the Last, farthest, final, latter end, and the ends of the uttermost. I, the One, am the Living One and I became dead and Lo, See, Behold! I Exist; I am alive for evermore, to the ages of the ages. Amen. So be it.  And I have the keys to the lock of Hades, the unseen and of death. Write the things which you have seen which are and the things which are about to appear afterwards and hereafter. The mystery and secret of the seven stars which you saw on my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks-lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven called out assemblies and the seven candlesticks-lamp stands which you saw are the seven called out assemblies. Revelation 1:17-20.
 
A Message to the Called Out (Local) New Testament Assemblies
 
These Scriptures are written to the "True Called Out Local" groups of people who have been Saved by the grace of God and have been Baptized by immersion and assemble together in a local place and make an attempt to follow the teachings of the New Testament.
 
These Promises of Future Rewards are for: those who are truly spiritually "saved" individuals who make an "effort to grow-up spiritually"  within the "Called Out Local New Testament Assemblies" from among the masses of the Spiritually Saved People scattered throughout the world.
 
These rewards are not for the so-called "paper church members." That is, just because your name is on a "church roll" and just because you "play church" does not entitle you to these spiritual rewards in the next life...

What is a "True Assembly or Church" according to the New Testament Word of God!!!

Acts 2: [42] And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. [46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Continued steadfastly: to be earnest towards; to persevere; be constantly diligent; to attend with persistent diligence in all the exercises; to adhere closely to; to have a compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea.
 
The following seven links will help to understand this expanded translation:
 
Only a "Local Assembled" group of people, who continue steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine (the Truthful Teachings, the Lord gave to the apostles and the Truthful Teachings the apostles continued to Teach), (salvation by grace, baptism by immersion, security of the believer, the assembly is a local visible body of those saved and baptized individuals, as well as the many other Truthful Teachings throughout the New Testament), and fellowship, and in breading of bread (correct observance of the Lord's Supper for only those assembled members of that particular assembly), and in prayers, can be considered a "True Assembly or Church."

To the angel of the called out assembly of Ephesus write: These things say, He, the One who has strength, holding the seven stars in His right hand, He, the One who walks and treads all around, in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks-lamp stands. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience, What the Spirit says to the called out assemblies: To the one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, I will give to eat of the Tree or substance of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of Deity; the very exceeding great God. Revelation 2:1 & 7.

And to the angel of the called out assembly in Smyrna, write; These things says the First, foremost in time, place and order of importance, and the Last, farthest, final of place and time; the ends of the uttermost; who became dead and is alive. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience: What the Spirit says unto the called out assemblies: The one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, will not, by no means, be harmed or hurt at all or injured of the second death, not ever!  Revelation 2:8 & 11.

And to the angel of the called out assembly in Pergamos write: These things says He, the One who has the sharp sword with two edges. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience: What the Spirit says to the called out  assemblies: To the one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, I will give to eat of the hidden and secret manna. And I will give the one a white stone of admission and on the stone of admission, a new fresh, name written, which no one knows, except the one who has received it. Revelation 2:12 & 17.
 
And to the angel of the called out assembly in Thyatira, write: These things says in Son of Deity; the very exceeding great God, the One having His eyes like unto a blazing flame of lightning fiery fire and His feet are like the manner of a burnished metal copper alloy of gold, with a brilliant luster of silver. And the one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory and keeps and maintains My works and effort of labor to the continual end, to the one, I will give power, authority and privilege over the races of people. And the one will rule, supervise and tend as a shepherd, them with a rod and a staff made of iron, as the vessels made of clay, they will be broken, crushed and shattered to shivers and pieces, even as I have received of My Father. And I will give the one the Dawning, Morning Star. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience: What the Spirit says to the called out assemblies. Revelation 2:18 & 26-29.

And to the angel of the called out assembly in Sardis write: These things says He, the One who has the seven Spirits of Deity; the very exceeding great God and the seven stars. You have a few individual names even in Sardis, who have not defiled their apparel, garment and clothes and they will live around and as a proof of ability, walk with Me in white, for they are deserving, worthy of due reward. The one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, will be clothed in white apparel, garment and clothes and I will not, by no means, nor never blot out, wipe away, smear out or obliterate the ones name out of place or time from the Book or Scroll of Writing of Life, but I will confess and acknowledge the ones name before My Father and before His angels. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience: What the Spirit says to the called out assemblies. Revelation 3:1 & 4-6.

And to the angel of the called out assembly in Philadelphia write: These things says He who is the Holy and Sacred One, He who is the True and Truthful One, He, the One who having the key as shutting a lock; of the Israelite King David; He, the One who opens and no one, not even one can shut and shuts and no one, not even one can open. Lo, See, Behold! I am coming quickly, swiftly and without delay. Use strength to hold fast and keep what you have, so that no one may take your crown. The one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, I will direct to make a support pillar in the shrine and temple of My Deity; the very exceeding great God and the one will no more, by no means, nor never go out any longer. And I will write upon the person: the name, authority and character of My Deity; the very exceeding great God and the name, authority and character of the city of walls of My Deity; the very exceeding great God, which is New Fresh Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven, the eternal abode of God, from My Deity; the very exceeding great God and I will write upon the one My new fresh name, authority and character. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience: What the Spirit says to the called out assemblies. Revelation 3:7 & 11-13.

And to the angel of the called out assembly of the Laodiceans, write: These things says the Amen, the Trustworthy; the Faithful and Trustful; the True Witness, the Beginning Magistrate and Ruler of the creation and of the original formation of Deity; the very exceeding great God. To the one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, I will grant to sit down in accompaniment with Me in My stately seat and throne of power; as Potentate; Absolute Sovereign Ruler; even as I also overcame, conquered and prevailed with victory and sat down in accompaniment with My Father in His stately seat and throne of power; as Potentate; Absolute Sovereign Ruler. The one who has an ear, let the one hear and give audience: What the Spirit says unto the called out assemblies. Revelation 3:14 & 21-22.

The Throne in Heaven

After these things I looked, and considered this, behold, a door having been opened in the sky of heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet speaking with me; saying, Come up here, and I will show to you things what must be necessary to occur after these things. And immediately I came to be in the spirit: and, Lo, See, Behold! A throne was set in the sky of heaven, and One who was sitting on the throne. And He who was sitting to look upon was like in the appearance of a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in appearance like to an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and on the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, having been clothed in white robes of raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne preceded lightnings and thunder and voices. And there were seven lamps, torches of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature was like a calf, and the third living creature had a face as a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, the One who was, and the One who is, and the One who is coming! And when those living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him, the One who sits on the throne, to the One living forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. The four and twenty elders will fall down before Him, the One who sits on the throne, and worship Him, the One who lives forever and ever, to the ages of the ages and they will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power. Because You have created all things, and on the account of Your will, they exist and were created. Revelation 4:1-11.

And I saw in the right hand of Him, the One who sits on the throne a Book of a Scroll of Writing, within and on the backside, having been sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great loud voice, Who is worthy to open the Book of a Scroll of Writing, and to loosen the seals thereof? And no one in heaven, either on earth, neither underneath the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look at it. And I began to weep very much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the Book of a Scroll of Writing, neither to look at it. And one of the elders says to me: Do not weep. Lo, See, Behold! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the Book of a Scroll of Writing, and to lose the seven seals of it. And I saw, and, Lo, See, Behold!  In the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the Book of a Scroll of Writing out of the right hand of Him who sits upon the throne. And when He had taken the Book of a Scroll of Writing, the four living creature and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them a harp, and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of saints. And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the Book of a Scroll of Writing, and to open the seals of it. Because you were slain, and You redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation; And You have made us to our God kings and priests: and we will reign on the earth. And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a great loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb having been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them. I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, to Him, the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. And the four living creatures said, Amen. So be it. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshiped Him, the One living forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. Revelation 5: 1-14.

The Marriage of the Lamb

And a voice came out of the stately seat of the throne of power, saying: Praise our Deity; the very exceeding great God, all the ones, His slaves and bond servants and the ones who fear Him in awe and give reverence, the ones both small and great. And I heard and gave audience, as it were the voice of a great multitude and as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying: Alleluia! Praise ye Jah! In Adoration, for the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority; Deity; the very exceeding great God, the All-Ruling, Absolute and Universal Sovereign, the Almighty Omnipotent has begun to reign as King. Let us be glad, be cheerful with a calm happy salutation and rejoice with joy and exceeding gladness; and give honor, glory and praise-full worship to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come and His wife has made ready and prepared herself. And to her was granted to the intent in order that from the purpose of the results, that she should be arrayed, clothed and dressed in fine linen, clean, clear, pure and radiant, magnificent and sumptuous bright white, for the fine linen is the equitable deeds, statue and decision of the righteousness of the sacred, morally or religious blameless, the consecrated saints. Revelation 19:5-8.

His Name is called: The Word of God

And I saw heaven, the abode of the eternal God open and Lo, See and Behold! A white horse and He, the One who sat upon it was being called Faithful, Trustworthy and True: and in equity of justifiable righteousness He judges and makes battle in warfare. His eyes were a blazing flame of lightning fiery fire and on His head were many, abundant crowns and diadems. And He had a name written of authority and character which no one knows, except He Himself. And He was clothed and appareled with a vesture in a robe of clothing having been dipped and completely covered in blood. And His name, authority and character is called, The Word, The Divine Expression of Deity; the very exceeding great God. Revelation 19:11-13.

King of Kings and Lord of Lords     

And the armies or extension of an armament, which were in the sky of heaven, the eternal abode of God, followed Him upon white horses, clothed having been dressed in fine linen, white and pure, clear and clean. And out of His mouth goes a sharp saber sword, so that with it, He should smite and strike the nations as a race. And He will rule and supervise, to tend as a shepherd, them with a rod, a staff of royalty, made of iron. And He treads and tramples the winepress of the passionate fierceness, indignation and wrath of justifiable punishment of the All Ruling, Absolute and Universal Sovereign, Almighty, Omnipotent Deity; the very exceeding great God. And He has on the robe of His vesture, apparel, clothes and on His thigh, a name, authority and character, having been written: Sovereign King of Sovereign Kings and Lord, Supreme One in Authority, Controller and Master of Lords, Supreme One in Authority, Controller and Master. Revelation 19:14-16.

The 1,000 Year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ

And I saw an angel descend from the sky of heaven, the eternal abode of God, having the key of the lock of the depthless, infernal, abyss; the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he used strength to seize and take hold on the dragon, that ancient, old serpent, which is the Devil, a slanderer, even Satan,the Adversary and bound him for a thousand years. And cast and threw him into the depthless, infernal, abyss; the bottomless pit and closed, locked, shut him up and set a mark of security and seal over him so that he should not deceive the race of people any more until the thousand years were finished. After these things, it is necessary for him to be let loose a little season or for a space of time. And I saw a stately seat of thrones and they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony and witness on the account of Jesus and on the account for the Word of God; and who had not worshipped the beast; neither his image of likeness; neither had received his mark or badge of servitude upon their forehead or on their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ, the Anointed Messiah a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again, until the thousand years were completed and finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and supremely fortunate is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. On such the second death has no power or privilege, over these; but they will be priests of Deity; the very exceeding great God and of Christ, the Anointed Messiah; and will reign and rule with Him for a thousand years. Revelation 20:1-6.

After the 1,000 Years – Satan returns to the Earth

And when the thousand years are ended, finished and expired; Satan, the accuser and the Adversary, will be loosed out of his guarded prison. And will go forth to roam to deceive, lead astray and seduce the race of people from the truth, which are in the four quarters of the land of the earth. Gog, the antichrist and Magog, an antichristian party as a nation, to assemble and to gather them together to a battle of warfare, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the broad plain of the land of the earth and compassed, encircled and surrounded the camp and battle array of the saints and the beloved city. And lightning fiery fire came down from Deity; the very exceeding great God out of the sky of heaven and devoured them. And the Devil, the slander that deceived and seduced them was cast and thrown into the Lake of lightning fiery fire and of sulfurous brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet, being a religious imposter already are. And will be tormented and vexed in pain day and night forever and ever, to the ages of the ages.  Revelation 20:7-10.

The Great White Throne Judgment

And I saw a great and mighty white stately seat and throne; and He, the One who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before and in the presence of the One God. And the Books of a Writing Scroll were opened. And another Book of a Writing Scroll was opened, which is the Book of a Writing Scroll of  Life. And the dead were judged, condemned and punished out of those things which were written in the Books of a Writing Scroll according to their works, labor and act of deeds. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it. And Death and Hades, the unseen place and state of departed souls, delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, tried; condemned and punished, every one according to their works, toil and act of deeds. And Death and Hades, the unseen place of departed souls were cast and thrown with intense violence into the Lake of lightning fiery fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of a Scroll of Writing was cast and thrown with intense violence into the Lake of lightning fiery fire. Revelation 20:11-15.

The New Heaven and the New Earth

And I saw a New Heaven in freshness and a New Earth in freshness, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and perished. And the sea did not exist any longer. And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem in freshness, coming down from Deity; the very exceeding great God, out of the sky of heaven prepared and made ready, in the manner as a bride adorned, decorated and put in proper order for her husband. And I heard an address of a great and mighty voice out of the sky of heaven, the eternal abode of God, saying: Lo, See, Behold! The tabernacle and habitation of Deity; the very exceeding great God is with human beings. And He will dwell and reside as a symbol of protection and communion with them and they will be His people and Deity; the very exceeding great God Himself will be with them in accompaniment and be their God. And He, the One God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there will be no more death, neither sorrow, grief and mourning; nor an outcry of grief; neither will there be any more pain of anguish, for the former things are passed away and behind. And He who sat upon the stately seat of the throne of power said: Lo, See, Behold! I am making all, every, and the whole new in freshness. And He said to me: Write, because these words and thoughts of reason are true, trustworthy and faithful to believe. And He, the One said unto me, It is done! I am the Alpha, the first and the Omega, the last and finality; the Beginning and the End and uttermost. I will give to the one who is thirsty of the fountain and source of the water of life freely and gratuitously. The one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, will be an heir and obtain an inheritance of all things and I will be that persons Deity; the very exceeding great God and that one will be of My kinship. Revelation 21:1-7.

The Heavenly City – the Home of the Faithful

And there came unto me, one of the seven angels who had the seven vials of a broad shallow cup full of the seven plagues, stroke and calamities and spoke with me, saying: Come here; I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great, mighty and high, lofty mountain and showed me that great and mighty city with walls, the Holy and Sacred Jerusalem descending out of the origin of the sky of heaven, the eternal abode of God, from Deity; the very exceeding great God. Having the glory, splendor and dignity of Deity; the very exceeding great God and its brilliant illuminating light was similar and in like manner to a stone most precious and costly, even like the manner of a jasper gem stone, resembling a clear ice crystal. And had a great high wall and had twelve gateways and at the gateways, twelve angels and names of authority and character written and inscribed upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. On the east three gateways: on the north three gateways: on the south three gateways: and on the west three gateways. And the wall of the walled-city had twelve foundations and substructures; and on them, the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he who spoke with me had a golden reed to measure the walled city and the gateways thereof and the wall thereof. And the city laid foursquare, four cornered and the length is as large as the width. And he measured the walled city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs/stadia. The length and the width and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof an hundred and forty and four cubits according to the measure of a human being, that is, of the angel. And the building and structure of the wall was of a jasper gem; and the walled city was of clean, clear and pure gold, like the similar manner of clean, clear, pure transparent glass. And the foundation and substructure of the walled city were adorned and garnished in proper order with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation and substructure was a jasper gem of transparent multicolor light; the second, a sapphire of blue, violet; the third, a greenish copper-like chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald, green gem; the fifth, a red sardonyx, the onyx stone; the sixth, an orange-red sardius gem; the seventh, a chrysolite, a golden-yellow gem; the eighth, a multicolor beryl of green, blue, yellow and red; the ninth, a topaz of, yellow, gray and reddish orange; the tenth, a chrysoprasus, a greenish golden-yellow gem; the eleventh, a hyacinth or jacinth, a deep blue gem, the zircon; the twelfth, the purple amethyst.  And the twelve gateways are twelve pearls, every several local gateway was of one pearl. And the wide open street of the walled city was clean, clear pure gold, as it was transparent glass. And I did not see a temple or shrine in it; for the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master; Deity; the very exceeding great God, the All Ruling, Absolute and Universal Sovereign; the Almighty Omnipotent One and the Lamb are the temple or shrine of it. And the walled city had no need of the light of the sun, neither of the moon to lighten or shine in it, for the glory of Deity; the very exceeding great God, did illuminate, brighten up and shed rays in it and the Lamb is the light of it. And the race of people of them who are saved will live and walk in the light and illumination of it. And the kings of the land of the earth will bring their glory and worshipful praise and honor, with precious value into it. And the gateway of it will by no means be shut or closed at all by day, for there will no night there, not ever. And they will bring glory and worshipful praise and the honor, with precious value of the race of the people into it. And there will by no means enter into it anything that is common, defiled, unclean or unholy, neither whatsoever makes for an abomination or a detestable idolatry or makes a falsehood of a lie; but only those who having been written in the Lamb’s Book of the Scroll of Writing of Life. Revelation 21:9-27.

The Throne of God

And he showed me a clean, clear and pure, fresh river of water of life, clear, bright and magnificent in appearance, as ice crystal, proceeding out of the stately seat of the throne of power of Deity; the very exceeding great God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the wide open street of it and on both sides of the fresh river of water, there was the Tree of substance of Life, which bare and produced twelve manners of fruits and yielded its fruit every month. And the sprouts and leaves of the tree of substance were for the medical healing and attendance of the race of people of the nations. And there will be no more curse. And the throne of power of Deity; the very exceeding great God and of the Lamb will be in it and His servants will serve and render religious homage to Him. And they will see His face and appearance; and His name of authority and character will be in their foreheads. And there will be no night there and they will not need candle or a portable light, neither the light of the sunlight, because the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master, the Deity; the very exceeding great God will illuminate them with light to shed rays of brightness and they will rule and reign forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. Revelation 22:1-5.

Behold I Am Coming Quickly

And he said unto me: These words and sayings are faithful, trustworthy and true to believe. And the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the Controller and Master, Deity; the very exceeding great God of the holy and inspired, set apart prophets, sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must be needful and shortly, in a brief swift space of time be done and come into being. Lo, See, Behold! I am coming quickly, swiftly, without delay, by a sudden surprise. Blessed and supremely fortunate is the one who keeps and maintains the words and sayings of the prophecy of scriptural prediction of this Book and Scroll of Writing. And I, John, saw these things and gave audience. And when I heard, and saw; I fell down to adore and worship before the feet of the angel which did show me these things. Then he said unto me: Take heed, you do not to it, for I am your fellow servant and minister of the same Master and of your brethren, the prophets, who were inspired speakers and of them which keep and maintain the sayings and reason of thoughts of this Book of a Scroll of Writing: adore, do reverence and worship Deity; the very exceeding great God. And he said unto me: Do not seal in secret, the sayings of reason of the prophecy and scriptural prediction of this Book of a Scroll of Writing; for the time or occasion and opportunity is at hand and near in time. The one who is actively morally unjust, let the one be actively morally unjust still further; and the one who is morally dirty and filthy, let the one be morally dirty and filthy still further; and the one who is of equitable character of righteousness, let the one be of equitable character of righteousness still further; and the one who is morally and religiously sacred and holy, let the one be morally and religiously sacred and holy still further. And Lo, See, Behold! I appear and am coming suddenly by surprise, quickly, swiftly, without delay and My reward is with Me to give away to everyone in the manner and according as the one's work, toil, acts and deeds shall be lived of one’s personal self. I, the One am Alpha, the First and the Beginning and Foremost and the Omega, the End of the uttermost of place or time, the First power and the Last continual ending. Blessed, supremely blessed and fortunate are those who do His commandments, in order that they may have the authority, the right and privilege to the substance of the Tree of Life and may even so arise to enter through the gateway into the walled city. For outside and without the doors, away and forth, are the dogs (the morally impure, backsliders, false teachers, and heretics), and the drug users, sorcerers, and the fornicators, male prostitutes, whoremongers and the murderers and whosoever, everyone, all who have an affection of love and practices of a lie and falsehood. Revelation 22:6-15.

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come

I Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the called out assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of the Israelite King David and the bright radiant early morning Star of the dawn. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come to accompany! And let the one who hears with an audience say, Come to accompany! And let the one who is thirsty for, come to accompany. And whosoever delights in let the one take to accompany of the water of life freely, gratuitously. For I testify as to be a witness to everyone who hears to give audience to the words and reasoning of thoughts of the prophecy and prediction of this Scroll of Writing. If anyone adds or impose as a relation of distribution to these things; Deity; the very exceeding great God, will add unto that one, the plagues, stroke and calamities having been written in this Scroll of Writing. And if anyone takes away from the words and reason of thoughts of this Scroll of Writing of this prophecy and prediction, Deity; the very exceeding great God will take away that one’s part from the Scroll of Writing of Life, and out of the sacred Holy City of walls and from the things having been written in this Scroll of Writing. He, the One who testifies, is a witness of these things, says, Surely, Yes. I appear and am coming suddenly by surprise, swiftly, quickly and without delay. Amen, even so, truth; Yes. Even so, come and accompany, Lord Jesus. The grace and acceptable favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:16-21.
 
As you can see from this study, individuals who have been spiritually saved by the grace of God, then, have been baptized properly and continue in the correct teachings of the New Testament within the called out local assemblies and make an effort to serve and worship God the Father, will be chosen by Jesus Christ as His Bride and their eternal home will be inside the Heavenly City. 
 
Individuals who are spiritually saved by the grace of God, but do not go any further in their spiritual walk of life, will live in the New Heaven, on the New Earth, but not inside the Heavenly City...

A Personal Note From Myself
 
Concerning:  Religious Leaders
 
*************************
Monday, November 16, 2009
These are my personal feelings, being posted for the first time, since I started this Website.
It is something I really feel compelled to add to this page.
 
     This past Sunday night, knowing I was going to be off work Monday, I stayed up late, watching some religious programs, hopefully, trying to find some Spiritual nourishment. Well, guess what I saw??? I'm going to list them:
 
1.  I saw people, claiming to be religious leaders, asking for money, money and more money. I felt like they were absolute thieves...  I felt they were robbing people of their basis needs of life and it is wrong...
2.  I saw people, claiming to be religious leaders, teaching a false way or no way of Salvation. They are stealing the way of Eternal Salvation from the people and it is wrong...
3.  I saw people, claiming to be religious leaders, teaching a false way of the Christian life. They are cheating people out of the Spiritual Joy and Peace they can have in this life and it is wrong...
4.  I saw people, claiming to be religious leaders, teaching a false path of the religious Christian life whereby they may have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God, the Eternal City and it is wrong...

I hope you consider this Website worth your time!!!
 
#1.  Church Member: Are you getting your monies worth from your Pastor/Preacher/Priest/Rabbi/Spiritual Leader?
 
#2.  Pastor/Preacher/Priest/Rabbi/Spiritual Leader: Are you giving the people their monies worth?
 
I'm talking about what's important...the Spiritual aspect of it all!!!

It's Not About The Money...
Because the Money will Perish with the Earth.
Your Soul Lives Forever and You Need The Spiritual
Word of God Presented to You
From Your
Pastor/Preacher/Priest/Rabbi/Spiritual Leader!!!

 Dear Visitor:  Are you getting the "Spiritual Word of God"
from your
Pastor/Preacher/Priest/Rabbi/Spiritual Leader???

If not, Why not???
And Again I Say
If not, Why not????
Why doesn't the person teach you the Truth???
 
What do you think a
Pastor/Preacher/Priest/Rabbi/Spiritual Leader
is suppose to teach you???
 
I will tell you, plain and simple...
The Word Of God...
 
Any Religious Leader who does not proclaim the 
Word of God to the people, is not worthy of the calling by God.
And that person will answer directly to Almighty God for how they 
responded to the calling or if they attempted to please the people.
 
And you, as an individual will answer to Almighty God
for not making an effort to seek the Truth.
 
I realize, you may think I'm a very cruel, hard and mean person
for being so direct. In reality, I'm just the opposite.
Because of the Love of God within my soul,
I am actually concern for other people.
 
Please try to understand.
Our life on this earth only lasts for a few moments, then we pass away into the next life.
Make the most of your life, towards Spiritual Growth, while you still have the time.
 
You only get to live once in this Earth Life...
Why not get what you need to help you in preparing you for 
the next life???  The Eternal Spiritual Life...

Is your Religious/Spiritual Leader
stealing the Word of God from you???
Of Course, the person is!!!
If the person is not Teaching the Word of God!!!
Or
Let Me Ask You A Question:
Are You Really Seeking to Understand the Word of God???
**********************************************************
 
To-Every-Religious-Leader
Of Every Belief, Faith or Thought...
 
You Will Appear Before Jesus Christ at His Judgment Seat as a Saved Soul.
Or
You Will Appear At The Great White Throne of God as a Lost Soul.
 
You Will Give An Account of Your Life.
And
You Will Give An Account of Your Preaching and/or Influence upon Other People. 
 
It will be in Your best interest to make sure You are
preaching/teaching the Truth!!!
If You Do Not Know The Truth...Then Spend Time Finding It...

Because, You will give an account to Almighty God!!!

     This is just a quick thought... I believe when The Great Tribulation Period really begins to happen with all the earthquake and volcanic activity, there are going to be a lot of people "turn against" "religious leaders" who have failed to tell them the truth. Although I'm not a pastor, of a local assembly/church, even though, I would like to be, in order to be able to more directly teach people, I am an individual who is trying to provide information about The Great Tribulation Period, to whomever may be interested in it. If you are a "religious leader," you would be wise to get with the program and begin telling people the truth. At least encourage them to learn about the possibility of having to go through this time period, in the next few years.Yes, I said, in the next few years!!! Because, there is so much evidence supporting the fact that it will happen soon. That is the primary reason for this Website. In addition, it's to provide Biblical Knowledge and Truth, which the Audio Sermons can do, as they are a great treasure chest of golden nuggets. 
 
     As a "religious leader," I believe you will be mighty ashamed, when this Tribulation begins and you have ignored the subject or else told people they were going to be taken out of this life before it happens. This only applies to the "Spiritually Saved By The Grace of God as Christian Believers." The non-Christian believer (the spiritually dead/lost person) will of course, either survive or die during this time period. Yes, even the "Christians" are going through most, at least a good 97%, that is, minus the 45 days of the Wrath of God, of the  full 1,290 days of The Great Tribulation Period.
 
     If you are a "religious leader" don't be surprised, if the people "turn against" you, because you have lied to them. Yes, I mean lied, lied, lied... You have been warned... if you are reading this. Although, I doubt very many "religious leaders" will take any heed to such a warning. Most "religious leaders" are going to tell the people just what they want to hear. After all, otherwise, they would not still be in the position or at least the majority, because the people themselves, would not put up with such preaching. Well, it's the truth, isn't it??? What about you??? Do you desire to know the Truth or will you settle for fables and lies??? Well, I'll tell you something... Very, very soon, you will find out who's telling the Truth. At least I'm trying to tell you, the Truth... What about your "Religious Leader"???
