prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word
of God. [44] And the next Sabbath
day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. [46] Then Paul and Barnabas waxed
bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have
been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years.
Worship God...

and he did eat.

their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that
is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

thou serve.
Luke
24: [52] And they worshipped him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy:
John 4:
[20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and
ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. [21] Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the
Jews. [23] But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and
in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship
him. [24] God is a Spirit: and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

[20] And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: [21] The same came therefore to Philip, which was

though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all
things;

divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2]
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir
of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; [3] Who being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] Being made so much
better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they. [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.
Hebrews 11: [21] By faith Jacob, when he was a
dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his

Revelation 4: [10] The four and twenty elders fall
down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth
for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, [11]
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
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. [14]
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped
him that liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation 7: [9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a
great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and

saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
[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 14: [6] And I saw another angel fly in the
midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell
on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7]
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his
judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
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.
Revelation 22: [8] And I John saw these things, and
heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet
of the angel which shewed me these things. [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 2007: TRINIDAD -
At Devil's Woodyard, a mud volcano about 10 kilometers east of Princes
Town, 10 new "minor" craters and a crack that runs more than 100 feet
and is several inches wide, have appeared after the massive Caribbean
quake last week. By the sound coming from the mud volcano, it seemed to
residents that it was close to eruption. In 1995, when a volcano
erupted, it sent black mud over a wide area, driving many residents
permanently from their homes. Workers have been planting trees to cover
the area that was destroyed. Workers there who were reforesting this
week are frightened and wish to be reassigned out of the area.
ECUADOR -
Tungurahua volcano showered ash down on small villages and showed
increased signs of activity on Friday. A plume of smoke spewed from the
volcano 135 kilometers (80 miles) south of the capital of Quito, and
red lava was seen rolling down its flanks at night. Nearby villages was
not in danger, but volcanic activity "could become more intense."
Tungurahua has been erupting off and on since 1999.
YEMEN -
A volcano on a small uninhabited island in the Red Sea off the coast of
Yemen erupted again on 3 December after previously erupting on 30
September. No-one has been injured and there is no obvious threat to
the environment following the eruption on Yemen’s Jabal al-Tair island.
On 4 December the eruption occurred after seismic activities in the
area over the past two days. “The eruption took place naturally. It is
no danger.” The volcano has been active since it erupted on 30
September and there have been occasional lava flows. “The eruptions
will continue for a long time until the lava in the ground finishes.”
This eruption occurred due to fissures that appeared on the island
after the previous eruption. “The fissures made it easy for the new
eruption to occur.” This kind of volcano does not cool off quickly and
may well involve a series of eruptions. “This volcano doesn’t pose a
threat to neighboring islands.” The 30 September eruption led to the
deaths of nine people and 47 others were slightly injured.
YEMEN-
Jabl al-Tair volcano activity may threaten regional navigation - The
Ministry of Fisheries Wealth sent a warning to all fishermen not to get
close to the Island of Jabl al-Tair due to the reawakening of the
volcano that erupted last Monday. Sources say that this is a
precautionary measure aimed at ensuring the safety of the fisherman and
nearby citizens. “The Ministry of Fisheries Wealth announced in a
circulation note to all fishermen to report any dangerous developments
they may have witnessed to the office in order to take the necessary
actions and inform the concerned parties.” The Center also reported an
earthquake last Monday at 6:04 pm centered in the Red Sea which
measured 2.7 on the Richter scale. Another smaller earthquake measuring
1.9 on the Richter scale was detected at 11:46am on Tuesday. An
additional two earthquakes were also reported in al-Beidha governorate,
one on Monday at 10:30 pm and the second on Tuesday at 4:49 am. Based
on the data collected, these earthquakes appear to be a natural result
of pressure under the sea bed being released gradually. The Jabl
al-Tair Volcano, located 100 km northeast of Houdeida, is in a state of
continual activity, but this September 29 eruption proved more severe
than usual. Jabl al-Tair volcano is one of the natural threats whose
impact would be felt by all surrounding countries. “There is a great
need to set up a regional center for monitoring earthquakes and other
natural disasters in order to be able to take early action, as THE SAFE
AREA IS SHRINKING and this increases the risks, especially for regional
navigation." Experts and geologists say that the reawakening of the
volcano is the result of gases being emitted from deep inside the
earth’s crust via rifts created when the volcano first erupted.
COSTA RICA -
The Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica began discharging vapor and gas on
Wednesday that raised an alarm to the experts for a potential eruption,
however, no evacuations have been ordered yet. "Reports from neighbors
located at the foot of the volcano indicate that a thick white column
of gas and vapor has begun rising from the volcano's crater." Witnesses
have been reporting burning fields near Turrialba, located within 40
kilometers (25 miles) from the country's capital, San Jose. Turrialba
had been closely monitored by officials since May due to a mild
increase in its seismic activity. Increase in activity started in
August 2006, from which gas discharge, small landslides and dead
vegetation were reported from locations nearby the crater. The volcano
had been dormant since its last eruption in 1866.
MOLTEN LAVA MAY BE MELTING GREENLAND'S ICE CAP -
Global warming may not be the only thing melting Greenland. Scientists
have found at least one natural magma hotspot under the Arctic island
that could be pitching in. In recent years, Greenland's ice has been
melting more and flowing faster into the sea — a record amount of ice
melted from the frozen mass this summer — and Earth's rising
temperatures are suspected to be the main culprit. But clues to a new
natural contribution to the melt arose when scientists discovered a
thin spot in the Earth's crust under the northeast corner of the
Greenland Ice Sheet where heat from Earth's insides could seep through.
The corner of Greenland where the hotspot was found had no known ice
streams, rivers of ice that run through the main ice sheet and out to
sea, until one was discovered in 1991. What exactly caused the stream
to form was uncertain. "Ice streams have to have some reason for being
there, and it's pretty surprising to suddenly see one in the middle of
the ice sheet." The newly discovered hotspot, where Earth's crust is
thinner allowing hot magma from Earth's mantle to come closer to the
surface, is just below the ice sheet and could have caused it to form.
What caused the hotspot to suddenly form is another mystery. "It could
be that there's a volcano down there, but we think it's probably just
the way the heat is being distributed by the rock topography at the
base of the ice."
An eruption of the most northern active volcano in Kamchatka – Shiveluch
occurred on December 19th and appeared to be one of the most powerful
eruptions of the recent years. Powerful flows of ash were coming from
the volcano crater along with gas flows and fragments of magma
substances with the temperature reaching 800 degrees Centigrade or
1,472 degrees Fahrenheit. Ash belches went up to 10-12 kilometers
high. Satellite photos distinctly show a 600-kilometre ash plume going
west from the volcano. At the moment specialists register powerful
explosions in the volcano crater; it is said that in the closest time
another eruption may take place. Over 200 volcanic tremors have been
recorded in the past 24 hours.
ECUADOR -
Increased seismic activity at the Andean volcano of Tungurahua has
prompted the evacuation of 1,200 Ecuadorean villagers, who venture home
only to tend crops during the day. Ten villages have been evacuated to
sleep in shelters "to avoid people from being near the volcano." The
Tungurahua volcano was registering near-constant seismic activity after
seven hours of tremors rattled windows Saturday morning, showing an
intense glow in its crater and spewing a fine coat of ash. "We can't
rule out at this moment that the volcano may evolve in coming weeks
from the current situation to a much more explosive level."
November - Volcanoes 2007: INDONESIA -
4 volcanoes under eruption alerts & another has a lahar flood
threat - Hundreds more people were evacuated from around Indonesia's
Mount Kelud volcano in East Java yesterday after more than 600 hundred
tremors were recorded in 18 hours. Authorities raised the alert at Mt
Kelud, one of Indonesia's deadliest volcanoes, to maximum two weeks ago
amid signs of an imminent eruption. “There have been more tremors than
at the time we increased the alert to the highest level last month.”
Magma is 700m below the crater and could shoot out if it has enough
energy. Meanwhile, thousands of people are at risk from volcanic lahar
on Mount Guntur in West Java as dams built to collect the material on
the slopes start to overflow. The amount of lahar, a mix of mud and
lava, from Mount Guntur has swelled after heavy rains and as locals
continued to mine sand and stones. “The volcano is active but there's
no increased intensity. What we are concerned (with) is a possible flow
of lahar from the dams. We already issued a recommendation for
evacuation two weeks ago." Indonesian officials were also closely
monitoring three other volcanoes for increased activity. The
second-highest alert has also been issued for Mt Anak Krakatau, which
has been throwing up showers of ash. Alerts have also been issued for
Mt Soputan, in North Sulawesi, which erupted last week spewing columns
of ash 1000m, and Mt Karangetang off Sulawesi.
INDONESIA-
An island that has emerged in the middle of the crater lake of
Indonesia's Mt Kelut may have been effectively plugging the volcano but
it could be dislodged, scientists warned yesterday. The peak in East
Java, whose slopes are populated by thousands of people, was put on
high alert on October 16 but has not fully erupted, puzzling scientists
who say it is impossible to predict what may happen next. "The island
was visually captured by our CCTV (closed-circuit television) on
Sunday, with smoke now pluming up to one kilometer from it.” They
estimate that the 100m-long island loomed 20m above the surface of the
crater lake. The temperature of the lake has soared so high it has
broken measuring instruments.
Villagers flee in panic as Java volcano erupts: villagers
fled the slopes of Indonesia's Mount Kelud in panic yesterday after
seismic readings showed the volcano had begun erupting after weeks of
heightened activity. "I am afraid because the authorities say this
eruption will be worse than the ones that have come before," said
Marsini, a villager living three miles from the crater. "They say there
may be poisonous gas. I am leaving now." Scientists fear that a
build-up of magma under Kelud's crater lake could trigger a violent
blast, sending a torrent of mud, ash and rock careering down the side
of the 5,679ft mountain. Close to half a million
people remain vulnerable to very possible eruption of Mount Kelud, in
East Java. On October 16th 2007, The Government has urge evacuation of
the 116,000 residents of the most vulnerable villages across the hills
of the volcano within 8 miles distance from the volcano. Efforts have
been taken to clear pathways for anticipated 30 million meter cubic
lava flows through the rivers should the eruption take place. Over 500
quakes have taken place so far while the temperature of the volcanic
lake at the mount has increased to 100 degree Fahrenheit. In May 1919,
Mount Kelud eruption killed 5,190 people while the 1951, 1966, and 1990
eruptions delivered less damaged in country located in the Ring of Fire
where volcano range from Europe and south America meets. Ash rains,
poisonous gas, hot mud and lava, earthquakes are immediate risks among
the residents with possible needs for housing, food, water, shelter,
and health care.
JakartaPost Authorities
have responded to a rise in activity on Mount Anak Krakatau in the
Sunda Strait by placing the volcano on the second highest alert.
INDONESIA -
ANAK KARAKATAU VOLCANO - 600 volcanic quakes, tremors and eruptions at
Mt Anak Karakatau were recorded on Thursday. The volcanic eruption, as
well as deep and shallow shocks, tremors and hot gas blasts, increased
tremendously compared to Wednesday. Until Thursday the frequency of
tremors and eruptions had been fluctuating. The molten lava may reach
the surrounding land if the eruptions and tremors do not subside.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua:
The Concepcion volcano in Nicaragua sent huge columns of ash into the
sky in eruptions that prompted a ripple of small earthquakes, local
seismologists said Sunday. The volcano, one of two on an island in the
region's largest lake, erupted Saturday night and related earthquakes
continued to rattle the area on Sunday. No one was injured by the
blast, Nicaragua's Institute of Territorial Studies said in a
statement. The 1,610-meter (5,282-foot) volcano is located 100
kilometers (60 miles) southeast of the capital, Managua, on an island
popular with adventure tourists in Lake Nicaragua, Central America's
largest lake. Ash rained down on local communities on Sunday, as strong
winds carried it to toward the capital, the institute said. The
Concepcion volcano, which shares its lake island with the dormant
Maderas volcano, last erupted in 2005.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA -
An increased activity on Karkar island volcano is worrying
volcanologists and Madang residents because the lack of monitoring
equipment means there is no way of knowing the dangers posed.
Monitoring equipment set up in 2002 were destroyed within 24 hours of
them being set up on the island. Images received this month confirmed
that there has been an increase in thermal activity and gas emission
from the SE and SW flanks of Bagiai cone on Karkar. The increase in
thermal activity has resulted in vegetation dying near these two areas.
People from Kevasop village on the southwest of the island heard low
roaring noises in late October. Since that time Bagiai cone has been
releasing thin white vapor visible from Kevasop village. There has been
a vast increase in vapor and smoke compared to three months ago. The
volcano last erupted in 1979, killing two volcanologists on the island.
October - Volcanoes 2007: INDONESIA -
Indonesian scientists stepped up the alert level for a volcano in East
Java and told people to stay away from the crater amid fears it is
building up to an eruption. The alert for Mount Kelut was raised to the
third of a four-level warning system on Sunday. It was based on
recordings of increased seismic activity as well as rising temperatures
in the crater lake and the shifting chemical composition of the water.
The alert status had already been raised one step on September 11.
Although its slopes are sparsely inhabited, the peak is a popular
domestic tourist destination and is located on a densely-populated
plain. Between September 26 and 29, 54 volcanic earthquakes and nine
tectonic temblors had been recorded, and signs were that their
epicenter was moving closer to the surface. The lake on top of the
volcano has also changed from its habitual greenish aspect into milky
white, and gas is coming out. The chemical concentrate in the water had
risen significantly over the previous months and the temperature of the
lake was steadily rising. The volcano last blew in 1990. It has claimed
more than 15,000 lives since 1500, including around 10,000 when it
erupted in 1568. Mount Kelud volcano, which was put on the country's
second-highest alert level, shows several alarming signs indicating it
may erupt, the country's top volcano expert said. "I'm scared about
Kelud. Kelud is now on the point of no return." The number of volcanic
earthquakes at Mount Kelud, 90 km (55 miles) southwest of Indonesia's
second-largest city Surabaya, has risen to as high as 23 in one day,
compared with a maximum of 15 a day just before its last eruption in
1990. The volcano's "deformation" or expansion has increased, and gas
and chemical levels have risen, while the temperature of the lake in
the volcano's crater is climbing more rapidly, hitting 37.4 degrees
Celsius on Saturday, compared with 32 degrees in August. Experts in
Bandung, a city in West Java which is circled by volcano peaks, have
been monitoring Mount Kelud for weeks, after three other volcanoes
erupted earlier this year in Indonesia.
NEW ZEALAND -
Seismologists are warning that two earthquakes near Mount Ruapehu on
Monday (local time) may be a sign of more things to come. A 4.5
magnitude quake was felt just after 3pm on Monday. It was centered 10
kilometers north-east of Turangi. The quake was 5km deep. Then at
6:20pm there was another small quake, measuring 2.8 on the Richter
scale. It could be an indicator that we haven't seen the last eruption
from Mount Ruapehu. Mount Ruapehu is showing a sign of unrest that in
itself means it is important to be cautious about it.
RUSSIA -
One of the most active volcanoes at Kamchatka - Shiveluch - threw out
ashes on Sunday, the loop of which stretched 20km to the west and to
the south-west. In one day over 300 local earthquakes were registered
at the volcano. The most powerful of them was accompanied by emission
of ashes from the crater to the height up to 4.6km over the sea level,
scientists think. A thermal anomaly, the temperature of which was 38.6
degrees above zero on Celsius with ambient temperature minus 18
degrees, was registered on the volcano. Seismic stations register
continuous spasmodic volcanic trembling. The last eruption happened in
1964, when the destruction of the lava dome happened and the volcano
threw out over 1 cubic kilometer of volcanic material. Processes,
happening on the volcano during the last decades, are similar to those
which happened from 1854 to 1964 - during the period between the most
powerful eruptions. By analogy it is possible to assume that in an
interval of 100 years from the last powerful explosion in the crater of
the giant, a new one will happen. Specialists who watch the behavior of
the giant say that "no less than ten of such explosions happened in 1.5
thousand years." Shiveluch Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula may be
about to stage a large eruption. The Shiveluch volcano located in the
north of the peninsula has intensified its activity and threatens with
a new heavy eruption. Lately the volcano activity has increased and a
heavy eruption is supposed to occur; it is supposed to be as heavy as
the eruption in 2005, when the burning hot lava stream, about a
kilometer wide and 25 kilometers long, erupted from Shiveluch and
rushed down its slopes burning everything on its way. The seismic
stations have already registered more than 400 local earthquakes near
the volcano. The scientists suppose that some seismic events were
accompanied with emissions of gas and ash about four kilometers high.
The eruption of the volcano began in December 2006. The massive gas and
ash columns rise above its crater from time to time.
PHILIPPINES - Bulusan volcano sustained its restiveness Thursday, generating over a hundred volcanic quakes in the past 24 hours.
PERU & CHILE-
Volcanic structures monitored in the Andes via satellite show
unexpected activity. The central part of the Andes situated between
southern Peru and Chile bears 50 active or potentially volcanoes,
spread along a 1500 km-long arc. These volcanic structures are very
remote with abrupt slopes and are often cloaked in snow. Few studies
have been made on them as such conditions make field surveying
extremely difficult. Research projects on deformations of the earth
crust, conducted in this region between 1992 and 2000, led to the
detection of a long wavelength signal over the area's topography. This
deformation would correspond to crustal inflation affecting the whole
Lastarria-Cordon del Azufre complex. Although this volcano is not
considered as active, as the last eruption dates back 9000 years, such
inflation could express an underlying activity related to the dynamics
of a functioning magma chamber. Between March 2003 and June 2005, new
data led to measurement of inflation of about a centimeter affecting
the crust over the whole Lastarria-Cordon del Azufre volcanic complex.
A long wavelength regional-scale signal was found, covering a surface
area of about 45 km long by 35 km wide corresponding to the entire
volcanic complex. A short wavelength signal not previously identified
was also revealed, but unlike the first, it was located at the smaller
scale of the Lastarria volcano only. Two distinct hypotheses are
envisaged to explain the emission of these two wavelengths. As the
inflation measured at regional scale corresponds to a long wavelength
signal, it has a fairly deep source, estimated by the geophysicists at
between 7 and 15 km down. An inflation located at such a depth is
highly likely to be generated by magmatic activity. The source of the
short wavelength signal, located at about 1000 m beneath the summit of
the Lastarria volcano, is more uncertain, however. Indications
nevertheless suggest a link with the circulation of hydrothermal
fluids. The hope is to obtain further information on changes of mass or
density at depth, as a modification of gravity combined with a
displacement of the terrestrial crust could indicate a filling or an
emptying of a magma chamber and therefore confirm an underlying
volcanic activity. If this turned out to be true, the Lastatria-Cordon
del Azufre volcanic complex would be the only area under the Andes
where the formation of large magma reservoirs has been demonstrated.
INDONESIA - The
risk of eruption at an Indonesian volcano on Java Island has not passed
and remains at high alert status, scientists said Saturday. "Tremors
had calmed down from Mount Kelut since yesterday (Friday) but other
indicators still show increasing magmatic pressure from the volcano's
belly." Sensors sending real-time information from the mount's peak
showed increased temperatures at the crater. Tremors rocked Mount Kelut
for nearly an hour on Friday afternoon - usually a precursor of an
eruption. Geologists have said the eruption would be comprised of "heat
clouds" consisting of searing gases and volcanic debris rushing down
the slopes, similar to the most recent eruption in 1990 that left 34
dead. Some 116,000 villagers have been evacuated from the fertile land
around Kelut's slopes, but many have defied local officials' orders to
stay away and returned home to tend their farms and to protect against
possible looting. About to 130,000 people live in the 10-kilometre
radius danger zone and a further 150,000 people live up to 30
kilometers from the crater.
HAWAII-
Lava flowing from a new vent on Kilauea's eastern flank is now feeding
into a lava tube that could allow it to flow farther and faster.
Geologists say the formation of lava tubes can be worrisome because
they insulate the lava, which has advanced 1.5 miles from the end of
the open lava channel. But Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's daily
assessment maintains that there's no immediate threat. That means
thousands of lower Puna residents currently remain at a safe distance.
There needs to be a steady supply of lava for it to travel a long
distance, but the level of the channel has fluctuated over time.
Kilauea has been erupting for 24 years. On July 21, a new outbreak of
lava occurred to the east of Puu Oo vent. It was the first time lava
erupted in the area outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park since 1992.
September - Volcanoes 2007: INDIA -
Authorities in Arunachal Pradesh have sounded an alert after lava and
hot gas clouds began erupting from the side of a hill. A RARE
geological occurrence was reported from a hill slope near Kimin
village, about 75 km north of state capital Itanagar. "Residents first
witnessed a fire in the hill and afterwards it began spewing ash and
sending debris down its slopes that appears like typical molten magma
of a volcano." The phenomenon was first reported Aug 21 from the area
where there was no human habitation. The nearest human settlement is
located about a kilometer from the hill slope. "The debris found in the
area was of different colors like black, green and brown. Some of the
substances also appear like glass, besides burnt bricks and rocks. Such
was the intensity of the heat from the flying debris that a high
tension power pole near the site of the occurrence melted, resulting in
power disruption." Residents in the area are panicking, with
authorities sealing the area by deploying police and preventing people
from going near the hill. "The site is lying dormant but not extinct,
as the area continues to emit smoke and gas and also the nearby earth
was found to be very hot." Experts from the Geological Survey of India
have visited the area and collected samples for laboratory tests at
their headquarters in Kolkata. "This is some sort of a fumarolic
activity which could be the beginning of some activity inside the
earth. The molten magma has probably oozed out owing to rise in
temperature of at least 1,000 degrees centigrade." The laboratory test
report is expected by the weekend. India's northeastern region is
considered by seismologists to be the sixth most quake prone belt.
"Evidence of volcanic eruptions some millions of years back has been
found in a village named Lichi, about 15 km from the present eruption
site. However, there are no historical remains of any volcanic mountain
- extinct, dormant or active in the region." GSI experts are camping in
the area to observe the rare occurrence and have asked authorities not
to allow locals to go near the site. "There has been no fresh oozing
since Aug 21 although more such occurrences cannot be ruled out."
TANZANIA -
Intermittent volcanic eruptions from Oldonyo Lengai Mountain in Arusha
Region have caused panic and anxiety among villagers living nearby. The
surrounding communities, especially those at Engaresero Village, who
had previously defied a government evacuation order, are currently
seeking assistance to move out, following days of mountain rumbling.
Interviewed residents of the village, which is situated 16 kilometers
from the mountain, confirmed seeing discharge of red-hot dust from the
mountaintop on Tuesday night, coupled with tremors and explosions. The
first explosion was heard after midnight on Tuesday. It was followed by
another powerful blast Wednesday morning, which forced all residents to
revisit their previous decision of sticking to their guns. Tourists who
spent a night at Engaresero decided to cut short their visit after
witnessing the flow of hot lava down the mountain, which covered all
creeks located downhill. In July, volcanic activities were reported at
Oldonyo Lengai, occurring almost at the same time as earth tremors in
other parts of Tanzania. The affected regions are Arusha, Kilimanajaro,
Mwanza, Dodoma and Dar es Salaam. Earth tremors also shook the Kenyan
capital city of Nairobi.
INDONESIA'S POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE
may have affected the devastating mudflow from the mud volcano in East
Java. The massive crater had been spurting more mud than normal in
recent days. Nine villages - including thousands of homes, factories
and rice paddy fields - have been buried by the mud, which started
flowing from the site of a gas exploration well during drilling 3km
underground more than a year ago. The increase in mud coincides with
the series of earthquakes in tremor-prone Indonesia, but it is too
early to definitively say the two were connected. "To say there's a
link between the earthquake and increase in mudflow, we cannot be
certain of that. But, from what our eyes can see, the mudflow volume
has increased in the past three to four days. The mud has overflow from
the first ring dam, the one surrounding the mudflow's central source.
There's also increase in sulfuric gas outflow."
GLOBAL WARMING TO TRIGGER VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS,
scientists warn - British scientists are warning of another possible
side effect of climate change: a surge of dangerous volcanic eruptions.
Researchers say the melting of polar ice sheets from global warming and
the resulting stress placed on the earths crust from rising sea levels
will increase eruptions in the years to come. There could also be an
increase in undersea earthquakes and tsunamis. "There is already
evidence for earthquakes in Alaska being triggered by unloading by ice.
Also evidence of this volcano Pavlof in Alaska erupting in the winter
when sea levels rise slightly due to weather conditions, just 30
centimeters. So, if we see one to two meters of sea level rise this
century, accompanied by mass wasting of the glaciers in the polar
region, so we can expect a response by the crust within the next few
decades."
TANZANIA -
authorities are persuading people in villages near Ol Doinyo Lengai to
move to safer areas after the volcano erupted. Since July, areas around
Ol Doinyo Lengai have been hit by earth tremors as a result of volcanic
activity. The earthquakes caused panic in settled areas, including the
Kenya capital, Nairobi. The mountain has spewed smoke and discharged
lava since the beginning of September. The most powerful quake, on the
afternoon of 17 July, was estimated at 5.9 on the Richter scale.
NEW ZEALAND -
Scientists have discovered a film of molten magma under the central
North Island. As a result of the find, monitoring of the potentially
explosive Taupo Volcanic Zone, the scene of enormous eruptions in the
past, will be improved. It was thought magma lurked in unconnected
pockets under volcanoes and geothermal zones, but new measurements have
revealed the molten rock lies across a zone 50 kilometers wide and
160km long, northeast of Taupo. "The key is that it is like a
continuous film wetting the surface. The wet surface is right across
the Taupo Volcanic Zone, not just little blobs under each geothermal
system or volcano." When the system is stable, a layer of hot rock with
its small amount of magma provides the heat necessary to fuel more than
20 geothermal systems in the region. But if there is too much magma it
can build up at shallow depths, eventually leading to a giant eruption.
About 26,000 years ago such an explosion formed what is now Lake Taupo.
Until now there had been little evidence about the extent of the magma
system under the central North Island. "Eruptions from the Taupo area
are enormous, the scale is difficult to imagine."
JAKARTA - A
massive earthquake that shook Indonesia's Sumatra Island last week
triggered more activity in three volcanoes in the area, but all have
since calmed down, the head of the country's Volcanological survey said
on Monday. The 8.4 magnitude quake that struck off the coast of western
Sumatra on Wednesday and a series of aftershocks spurred fresh magma
movement in the volcanoes, which lie close to the quake's epicenter,
Saut Simatupang told Reuters. "It is true that the shocks have spurred
an increased number of tremors in surrounding volcanoes. The number of
tremors indicates the movement of magma," Simatupang said. Mount Talang
-- which lies just 30 km (19 miles) from Padang, the city nearest to
the epicenter of one of the quakes -- recorded almost 40 times the
usual number of volcanic tremors a day after the quake, Simatupang
said. But activity on the 2,597-metre (8,520-foot) volcano dropped
dramatically the day after, and the number of tremors is now close to
the normal six a day. Two other volcanoes, Mount Dempo and Kaba in the
worst-hit province of Bengkulu, have also calmed down after the
aftershocks began to ease. A series of tremors, ranging in intensity
from 4.9 to 7.8 since Wednesday's quake, have repeatedly set off
tsunami warnings in Indian Ocean countries.
COSTA RICA -
Volcan Arenal gave the residents and visitors an unexpected show. Lava
spewed out of the cone and down the southwest side of the mountain
finally stopping around 1000 meters above sea level. It is no surprise
that there is activity in the mountain, but typically the lava does not
travel outside of the cone. It simply jumps out of the cone and back in
to form a protuberance or bulge. This time the pressure on the
protuberance was too much and the lava broke through to form a
pyroclastic flow, which is an eruption of high-temperature gases, ash,
and rocks. This time of year brings a lot of seismic activity to the
area, causing quite a few opportunities for visitors to see some
action. Although there was no dangerous threat, scientists are going to
keep a close eye on the volcano.
WASHINGTON -
Mount St. Helens just won't quit. Three years ago this month, hundreds
of small earthquakes heralded the renewal of volcanic activity at the
Cascade peak after an 18-year lull. Since then, the volcano has been a
perpetual-motion machine. "It's been an amazing run. I never thought
this eruption would last this long. And although things have slowed,
there's no signs of it stopping any time soon...Mount St. Helens woke
up in a hurry three years ago, which shows that we have to be prepared
for what these volcanoes can do. You want to be ahead of the game by
being able to detect even small changes." Tens of earthquakes are
occurring daily compared with hundreds a year ago.
August - Volcanoes 2007: PHILIPPINES-
Bulusan volcano fell silent on Wednesday, a day after it spewed a huge
column of sulfuric ash and pebbles. 46 earthquakes have been detected
in the Bulusan volcano since then. Steam and ash continue to pour from
its summit. The Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology says
another eruption will take place at any time, and it warned local
residents to be alert for volcanic mudflows if heavy rains fall on
Bulusan's slopes.
ICELAND-
A series of small earthquakes around Upptyppingar north of Vatnajökull
since this February has prompted speculations from geologists that a
volcanic eruption could be imminent in the area. A particularly intense
sequences of quakes occurred during the nights of July 31 and August 1.
Around 130 small quakes were reported during that period. Geologists
believe the quakes are related to movements of magma underneath the
surface and if they continue with increasing power a volcanic eruption
might take place.
INDONESIA-
disaster authorities on Thursday raised the alert level over Mount
Papandayan in West Java province after volcanic activities were
recorded in recent weeks which may be signs of imminent eruption.
Continuous minor tremors were recorded near the volcano and
temperatures around the volcano have shown signs of increase. "The
volcano visibly spewed white thick smoke as high as 50 meters." The
volcano's last eruption was on November 21, 2002.
INDONESIA-
An Indonesian official warned tourists and villagers on Sunday to stay
one kilometer (0.6 miles) back from two craters on a smoking volcano
that are spewing poison gas. "We don't want fatalities in Mount
Papandayan," citing an incident last month in which poisonous fumes on
neighboring Salak Volcano killed six school children camping on the
mountainside. Activity at the volcano, one of the country's most
active, has increased in recent days, but a major eruption is not
believed to be imminent.
RUSSIA-
The Shiveluch volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far
East is emitting ash to the height of 6,000 meters (20,000 feet). In
the past twenty-four hours, about 170 local tremors have been
registered around Mount Shiveluch. The volcano began erupting in
December 2006. Satellite photos show that clouds of volcanic ash are
spreading to the distance of 90 km (56 miles) southeast of the volcano,
posing a threat to air flights.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO-
Dangerous gas is bubbling out of the mud volcano. The Trinidad and
Tobago Institute of Marine Affairs has warned fishermen and other
boaters to stay away from the mud volcano off the east coast of
Trinidad as it is emitting methane, a flammable gas. This situation
could be hazardous if the gas was ignited. The volcano has grown 45
feet over the past four months and is now within four feet of breaking
the sea surface.
ALASKA-
Pavlof Volcano on the Alaska Peninsula is erupting. Eyewitnesses on
several ships reported seeing incandescent blocks falling down the
east-southeast flank of the volcano Tuesday night. The observatory had
already raised its aviation alert code for the volcano from yellow to
orange, and the alert level from advisory to watch, based on heat
readings by weather satellites and an escalating swarm of earthquake
signals from sensors on the mountain. A pilot reported a weak ash plume
extending five miles southwest of the summit at about 8,400 feet
elevation. Scientists said the eruption could become stronger at any
time. Immediate hazards around the volcano include light ashfall on
nearby communities, mud flows in local drainages, and lava flows and
avalanching of hot debris on the upper reaches of the volcano.
Attention was first drawn to the volcano, 37 miles northeast of Cold
Bay, when earthquake activity increased abruptly on Tuesday. Similar
patterns of seismicity occurred before eruptions in 1996, 1986, 1983
and 1981.
ETHIOPIA-
A volcano in north-east Ethiopia's Afar region erupted over the
weekend, leaving two people missing and forcing hundreds to flee. The
volcano spewed lava on Sunday, forcing mainly salt-mining Afar nomads
living around the mountain's range to escape. "The volcano at Alama'ari
locality in the Afar regional state forced residents of the nearby
villages of Dayulu and Gomoyta to flee for their lives, two among them
are still missing. People living in nearby mountain ranges were also
forced to retreat." The volcano's name was not given, and it was not
immediately clear if it was Mount Arteale, the only active volcano in
Ethiopia, which erupted some two years ago. Arteale had been largely
dormant for the previous six decades, but started to spew molten lava
after a series of earthquakes rattled the region in September 2005.
ALASKA-
One of the most active volcanoes in the Aleutian arc could be working
toward a massive, explosive eruption that could affect air travel,
scientists said Thursday. Satellite images of Pavlof Volcano taken
Thursday showed strong thermal readings, consistent with what the
Alaska Volcano Observatory is calling a "vigorous eruption of lava" at
the volcano about 590 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska
Peninsula. The volcano lies directly in the path of hundreds of daily
international flight paths, and an explosive eruption could severely
interrupt those operations. Seismic activity is high at the volcano,
with about one tremor recorded every minute. Mudslides — called lahars
— caused when lava melts snow on the peak, have triggered some seismic
activity as well. The mudslides took place on the southeast side of the
volcano, an area inhabited by few, if any, people. Pavlof is about nine
miles from Pavlof Bay, a popular fishing ground, but at the moment it
isn't posing an immediate threat. Hazards the volcano could present
include light ash fall on nearby communities, mud flows, lava flows and
hot debris avalanching on the volcano's flanks. Several small towns are
in the area, including King Cove, about 35 miles to the southwest, with
a population of roughly 800, and Cold Bay, nearly 40 miles southwest,
with a population of about 90. The ash plume was visible from King
Cove, but none was falling on it yet. "What we think we're in for is
several months of low-level eruptions punctuated by a few large and
explosive events." A string of eruptions took place during the 1970s
and 1980s, but the last one took place in 1996, making this 11-year
period the longest it has gone without an event. A series of ash
explosions and lava eruptions took place for several months after the
last eruption. During past eruptions, sporadic lava flow has gurgled
out for several months.
ALASKA- The
eruption of Pavlof volcano along the Alaska Peninsula southwest of
Anchorage continues to dribble molten rock down its slopes, trigger
steaming lahars and spit small ash clouds into the air. The volcano
awoke last week with a dramatic explosion that appears to have legs.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory continues to rate the volcano's aviation
hazard at the Orange level, meaning that the eruption isn't currently
sending ash into flight zones but could at any time. Volcanic ash can
damage or shutdown jet aircraft. Pavlof has erupted 10 (and possibly 13
times) in the past three decades, most recently in 1996. A surge in
earthquakes beneath Pavlof on Aug 14 alerted scientists that it had
awoken again. By Aug. 15, the volcano had begun erupting with lava, ash
and steam. Cleveland Volcano - an Aleutian cone without its own seismic
network - has also been sending ash into the sky. Korovin volcano is
stirring too.
July Volcanoes 2007: RUSSIA-
The tail of ashes from the eruption of the volcano Kluchevskoy at
Kamchatka spread for two thousand kilometers and reached the coast of
Alaska. Above the crater of Kluchevskoy, which is considered the
highest active volcano in Eurasia, the latest column of ashes rose in
height up to 8.5 km. The tail of ashes spread hundreds of kilometers
above the Bering Sea. Seismic stations in the area of the volcano
registered volcanic trembling and local earthquakes. Lava-streams flow
down the slope at temperatures over one thousand degrees Celsius. There
is no danger to settlements of the peninsula. At the same time, melting
of glaciers at its slopes under the influence of lava can cause the
descent of powerful mud streams, threatening people and equipment in
their path. Emissions and tails of ash present a danger to aviation
when volcanic ashes get into the turbines of planes.
INDONESIA-
poisonous fumes from an Indonesian volcano have killed six teenagers
who were camping on the mountain. Families of the victims have refused
autopsies but the dead are believed to have been poisoned by gases from
one of two craters on the volcano. The six were found with blood and
foam on their mouths and noses. Media reports say the victims, between
14 and 16 years old, were among about 50 students spending the weekend
on the mountain. Indonesia has more active volcanoes than any other
nation and climbing them when they are not especially active is a
popular pastime. Salak, where the teens died Saturday, is just south of
the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, and is one of the country's most
popular peaks.
Thousands of new volcanoes have been found in the oceans-
The true extent to which the ocean bed is dotted with volcanoes has
been revealed by researchers who have counted 201,055 underwater cones.
This is over 10 times more than have been found before. The team
estimates that in total there could be about 3 million submarine
volcanoes, 39,000 of which rise more than 1000 meters over the sea bed.
"The distribution of underwater volcanoes tells us something about what
is happening in the centre of the Earth." Satellites can detect
volcanoes that are more than 1500 m high because the mass of the
submerged mountains causes gravity to pull the water in around them.
This creates domes on the ocean's surface that can be several meters
high and can be detected from space. But there are a multitude of small
volcanoes that have gone undetected. The only way of identifying them
is to manually find their outline on sonar measurements taken from
ships. Researchers were surprised to find that the density of small
volcanoes dropped in the area around Iceland, as Iceland is known to be
a hotspot for volcanic activity. Another surprise was that they found
fewer volcanoes on the seabed around Hawaii, another volcanic hotspot.
The findings may mean that researchers need to re-assess their
understanding of how submarine volcanoes are formed. In 2006, a team of
researchers from Japan discovered a new type of volcano which also
defied conventional theories of volcanism. The "petit-spot" volcanoes,
aged between one to eight million years old, did not sit at tectonic
plate boundaries or over volcanic hotspots.
INDONESIA-
A volcano in the eastern Indonesian province of North Maluku erupted
Monday spewing hot ash and black smoke up to 4,000-metres into the sky,
prompting government authorities to urge residents in endangered areas
to flee. Mount Gamhonora volcano on Halmahera Island in North Maluku
province, about 2,380 kilometers north-east of Jakarta, has become
increasingly active in the past days. On Monday the volcano erupted
belching hot ash from its crater and sending volcanic materials to
nearby areas. The volcano's alert status was raised to the highest
level - that means villagers in 10 villages within an eight-kilometer
radius must flee. Frequent tremors have been recorded from Mount
Gamhonora's crater since Sunday.
INDONESIA-
Thousands of people who fled their homes around the slopes of
smoldering Mount Gamkonora volcano in Indonesia have been told it is
safe to return after authorities downgraded the alert status. Mount
Gamkonora, on the north-east island of Halmahera, was put on top alert
last week, meaning experts believed an eruption could be imminent. "We
have downgraded the alert level because the seismic activity of the
volcano has somehow grown much quieter and there have only been fumes
emitted from the crater." The smoke curling from the crater has been
very weak, reaching just 50 to 100 meters high, and the tectonic quakes
registered have been very small. Last week, smoke stretched four
kilometers into the air. Nearly 9,000 people were evacuated from their
homes around the arid slopes of Gamkonora to safe shelters in
anticipation of a possible eruption. The office says there is still a
chance that the volcano could make small emissions of smoke or other
material, but any eruption would not be dangerous or reach settlements
RUSSIA-
Seismic activity of the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano on Russia’s
Kamchatka Peninsula has reduced to the background level. The volcano
the eruption of which had started on February 15 is now relatively
calm. Volcanic tremor has stopped; no earthquakes are registered. It
produces only minor spews of vapor with a small content of ash from the
crater. The Klyuchevskaya Sopka peak of activity was registered in the
period from April to the beginning of July. Major hot lava flows (1000
degrees Celsius) were coming down the slopes. Lava was melting the
glacier and water and mudflows were coming down the volcano slopes.
Residents of the Klyuchi settlement located 32 kilometers from the
volcano heard the volcanic roar. Volcanic dust fallout was registered
in this settlement, as well as in Kozyrevsk located 45 kilometers from
the gain mount. Incandescence could be observed during the night above
the volcano. It spewed volcanic bombs to a height of 300 kilometers
over the summit. Such phenomena have now stopped.
JAPAN-
the ecosystem of Miyakejima Island, devastated by the 2000 eruption of
Mount Oyama, is finally re-emerging. Exactly seven years after a series
of eruptions sprayed volcanic ash across the island 180 kilometers
south of Tokyo, forcing the small population to evacuate, the
twittering of birds can be heard again around the Tairoike pond in the
south of the island. In February 2001, only about 50 birds were seen on
the 1-km path around the Tairoike pond. From around May 2002, when
hundreds of caterpillar moths emerged, the number of birds began to
increase. But a continuous flow of volcanic gas is suffocating the once
lush forests across the island. Many trees, including cedar and sudajii
have died and turned white. More and more dead trees can be seen in the
east and southwestern parts of the island, where winds spread the
poisonous fumes. Some trees had sprouted buds in the first year after
the eruption; however, within another two to three years they began to
die. At low altitudes, even tall trees are starting to perish. At the
same time, grass plants that are less vulnerable are beginning to
emerge. As a result, the island, once dense with groves, is becoming a
patchwork of vast grassy meadows. The upheaval is making life difficult
for varieties of birds that thrive in dense forests, but it is proving
to be an advantage for others. "The island's current ecosystem is
halfway toward recovery from the volcano eruption."
TANZANIA-
Thousands of villagers living around Mount Oldonyo Lengai in Ngorongoro
District have fled their homes following a volcano eruption triggered
by the earth tremors that have recently hit most parts of the northern
zone. Sources say more than 1,500 people, mostly Maasai herdsmen from
Ngaresero, Orbalal and Nayobi villages, have abandoned their homes
following the tremors. "We heard roaring sounds before the volcano
started discharging ashes and lava. Thank God, nobody was injured
although smoke is still visible at the top of the mountain." This is
the world's only active sodium carbonite volcano and also the only one
that spews natrocarbonatite lava. Natrocarbonatite lava usually
contains almost no silicon and is much cooler in temperature than other
lavas. Two earthquakes rated as moderate hit the Oldonyo Lengai
volcanic mountain at 11:42pm on Sunday and at 12:10am the next day. Yet
another tremor, this time measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale, hit on
Tuesday evening. This is the second volcanic eruption to occur in the
northern zone since the one in March 2006, which also saw a number of
villagers flee their homes for their safety. Several mud-walled houses belonging
to the Maasai herdsmen collapsed following tremors triggered by the
volcanic activity. Lava is flowing from one side of the mountain,
causing panic among the villagers. Many villagers have been spending
nights in the cold and are terrified. "They have started moving their
animals in fear that the situation may get worse." Plans are under way
to evacuate some 5,000 villagers. "Ol Doinyo Lengai is a live, volcanic
mountain. It erupts almost annually but we are surprised that this time
it has been accompanied by an earthquake and this is worrying us."
PHILIPPINES-
The Bulusan volcano in the central Philippines spewed ash early
Tuesday, blanketing fields and villages as far as five kilometers
(three miles) away, but there was no immediate sign of a major
eruption. Mount Bulusan has been showing signs of unrest with
on-and-off ash and steam explosions since March 2006. The latest burst
sent ash falling five kilometers (three miles) west of the volcano,
which is in Sorsogon province about 390 kilometers (240 miles)
southeast of Manila. Television reports said the ash column caused
panic in the surrounding area, with residents running out of their
homes. Since it last ejected ash on May 12, the mountain's northeastern
slope has swelled slightly and abnormally high numbers of earthquakes
have been recorded.
June - Volcanoes 2007: Russian Volcano Klyuchevskoy Explodes.
The 15,580-foot Klyuchevskoy Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula has
been blasting ash into the sky and burbling lava down its flanks,
producing a well-monitored hazard to air traffic along the North
Pacific Rim. According to the scientist, the ash plume drifts away from
the settlement with a population of about 5,000, but "a very small
amount of ash" nevertheless falls there. Major incandescence is
observed at night time above the volcano summit. Hot volcanic bombs are
spewed from the crater every five-ten seconds. The spews height reaches
500 meters, he said. "At least three such flows are clearly visible,"
the scientist said. The longest of them descended to the mark three
kilometers above sea level. Lava is melting the glacier and water and
mudflows are coming down the volcano slopes, but they pose no direct
danger for the Klyuchi settlement.
Kilauea quakes may herald lava breakout, scientists say Hilo, Hawai’i
— hundreds of small earthquakes that suggest magma is on the move under
the surface of Kilauea volcano sent scientists and national park
officials scrambling yesterday, and prompted the rare closure of most
of Hawai’i volcanoes national park. – Hawaii over 230 small earthquakes
shook the upper east rift zone of Kilauea volcano beginning early this
morning, prompting officials to close off most of the Hawaii volcanoes
national park as a precaution to protect visitors. The earthquake swarm
in the upper East Rift Zone of Kilauea that started early Sunday
morning is continuing but at a lower rate. Most of the earthquakes are
located between Pauahi and Makaopuhi craters at depths of about 1.5-3
km. Less than 10 small earthquakes per hour are being recorded in this
area compared to more than about 100 per hour Sunday morning.
Scientists: Lava Oozes From New Fissure: HONOLULU
-- Scientists Tuesday spotted a small outbreak of lava along the Upper
East Rift Zone of Kilauea Volcano. The outbreak follows a swarm of
small earthquakes that shook the area Sunday, KITV reported. A third
large crack has formed on Kilauea, one of the world’s most active
volcanoes, park officials said Wednesday. The fissure, spotted in an
area a few miles southeast of Kilauea’s summit, is near two others
found since hundreds of small earthquakes were recorded in the area
Sunday. The fissure was spewing steam, but was not oozing lava as the
others did. Heat from the fissures could spark a fire, scientists said.
Kilauea volcano, which overlaps the
east flank of the massive Mauna Loa shield volcano, has been Hawaii's
most active volcano during historical time. Eruptions of Kilauea are
prominent in Polynesian legends; written documentation extending back
to only 1820 records frequent summit and flank lava flow eruptions that
were interspersed with periods of long-term lava lake activity that
lasted until 1924 at Halemaumau crater, within the summit caldera. The
3 x 5 km caldera was formed in several stages about 1500 years ago and
during the 18th century; eruptions have also originated from the
lengthy East and SW rift zones, which extend to the sea on both sides
of the volcano. About 90% of the surface of the basaltic shield volcano
is formed of lava flows less than about 1100 years old; 70% of the
volcano's surface is younger than 600 years. A long-term eruption from
the East rift zone that began in 1983 has produced lava flows covering
more than 100 sq km, destroying nearly 200 houses and adding new
coastline to the island.
Scenic Taal volcano
in southwestern Luzon showed a degree of unrest on Sunday after it
registered two earthquakes, quoting information from the Philippine
Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
Taal volcano
is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines and has produced
some of its most powerful historical eruptions. In contrast to Mayon
volcano, Taal is not topographically prominent, but its prehistorical
eruptions have greatly changed the topography of SW Luzon. The 15 x 20
km Taal caldera is largely filled by Lake Taal, whose 267 sq km surface
lies only 3 m above sea level. The maximum depth of the lake is 160 m,
and several eruptive centers lie submerged beneath the lake. The
5-km-wide Volcano Island in north-central Lake Taal is the location of
all historical eruptions. The island is a complex volcano composed of
coalescing small stratovolcanoes, tuff rings, and scoria cones that has
grown about 25% in area during historical time. Powerful pyroclastic
flows and surges from historical eruptions of Taal have caused many
fatalities. http://www.volcano.si.edu
HAWAII- Kilauea Volcano
remains quiet following last week's brief eruption, and scientists at
the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory are excited about that. Earthquake
swarms started several miles east of the summit June 17, lava erupted
in an unusual location June 19, and then a lot of sulfur dioxide gas
came to the surface as other activity slowed down. The series of events
indicated magma coming from deep in the earth, and then shunting east
to the eruption. "One mystery right now, though, is the disparity
between how much magma we believe is still entering the volcano from
the mantle, and the fact that no new lava and very little gas has been
erupted at the surface for over a week...magma is still being supplied
at a rate of 100 OSPs per day, where is it going, and what might happen
next?" The magma created a new underground route for itself last week,
a process called an intrusion. The result was a brief eruption above
ground and a new, arm like dike underground. How much magma remains in
the dike, how much went into the normal rift between the summit and
Pu'u O'o, and how much is in the storage area under the summit remain
uncertain.
May - Volcanoes 2007: JAPAN-
This week the Japanese coast guard said an underwater volcano was
observed erupting around Minami Iwojima Island in the western Pacific.
The crew of a fishing boat said it saw changes in water color as well
as volcanic smoke over a 3-mile stretch of open water. The Japanese
Meteorological Agency said it believes the activity is likely to be
coming from a volcano called Fukutoku Okanoba. Following an eruption of
that volcano in 1986, an island about 2,000 feet in diameter and 50
feet in height briefly emerged before being eroded to below sea level
by ocean waves.
ITALY- Mount
Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, erupted overnight Sunday,
sending jets of molten lava into the air but not threatening nearby
residents. The white-hot lava jets were thrown over 600 feet above Etna
while a spout on the southeast flank of the volcano released two
streams of lava in the direction of an uninhabited area. There was a
similar eruption on March 29. Last December the nearby airport of
Catania had to be closed at night for two weeks because of ash blown
into the atmosphere by volcanic activity.
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, -
The eruption of ashes to the altitude of 500-700 meters from the
Klyuchevskaya Sopka Volcano were registered in Kamchatka. The plume of
ashes stretched for 105 kilometers northeast of the gigantic volcano.
More than 40 local earthquakes have rocked the volcano for the past
day; a continuous volcanic shudder is registered. Two lava flows are
sliding down the north-western slope of the volcano. The lava is
melting down the glacier; phreatic explosions went off as a result of
the contact between the lava and the ice. The gigantic volcano is
discharging volcanic bombs to the altitude up to 300 meters. The
thunder of the volcano is heard in the town of Klyuchi, 32 kilometers
away from the giant.
Over the past month
there have been eruptions at three volcanoes in Vanuatu. Ongoing
eruptions are occurring at Yasur volcano on Tanna Island. Stromolian
and mild Vulcanian eruptions are ejecting lava up to 300 m high.
Several molten lava fragments have fallen close to observers on the
crater rim, who is often unaware of potential risks at the volcano. Ash
eruptions have been reported at Ambrym and Lopevi volcanoes in central
Vanuatu.
RUSSIA - The
Klyuchevskaya Spoka volcano on Kamchatka is emitting ash to the
distance of 30-360 kilometers at the height varying from 6.5 through
eight kilometers. A minor amount of ash has fallen in the village of
Klyuchi, 32 kilometers away. Villagers could hear the volcano roaring,
yet could not see it because of thick clouds. There is no threat to the
Klyuchi population. The seismic activity of Klyucheskaya Sopka remains
high. Over 220 tremors occurred over the day, and it was impossible to
monitor the seismic activity of another two active volcanoes, Shiveluch
and Bezymyanny. This eruption started on February 15. Lava is pouring
down for nearly two kilometers and the volcano’s snowcap is melting.
Meanwhile, an eruption of the Bezymyanny Volcano, also in Kamchatka,
started on May 12. The volcano emitted steam and ash. Visual monitoring
of the volcano was impossible as clouds were thick, but satellites
confirmed a thermal anomaly. Heated gas, steam, water and rock
fragments poured down the volcano slope, and an ash emission stretched
northeastward. Volcanic ash fell down in the Klyuchi village, which is
located 40 kilometers away. “The ash fall was rather large, about 320
grams per one square meter, which shows that the eruption was strong.
It seems that the volcano emitted ash to the height of nine
kilometers.” In the opinion of some experts, Bezymyanny is calming
down. The latest prior eruption occurred in December 2006 and was very
strong. Bezymyanny erupts once or twice a year. On another Kamchatka
volcano, Shiveluch, activity started on December 5, 2006. Shiveluch
volcano emitted ash to the height of 6,000 meters, and volcanic stones
tumbled down volcano slopes.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA -
Up to 2000 villagers have fled to higher ground from their seaside
homes on Siassi Island in Papua New Guinea, for fear of tsunamis, after
a volcanic eruption on nearby Ritter Island. There were no reports from
the island of casualties, but sea surges reportedly destroyed four
houses and a boat following Saturday's eruption. "They reported waves
and the level of the sea rising. They still hear rumbling noises and
see smoke coming out of the island and had a few tremors last night."
The islands lie between the PNG mainland and the island of New Britain.
The Rabaul Volcanological Observatory and the Geophysical Observatory
did not pick up indicative seismic activity of the eruption on their
equipment. Minor eruptions occurred on the uninhabited Ritter Island in
1972 and 1974. In 1888 half the island collapsed in an eruption that
triggered massive tsunamis that claimed an estimated 3000 lives on
surroundings islands and the PNG mainland. On April 2 this year an 8.1
magnitude quake triggered a tsunami in the northwest Solomon Islands
that killed 52 people and left thousands homeless. Many are still
camped on higher ground above their destroyed seaside homes. Aftershock
quakes measuring above 5.0 magnitude continue to shake the region.
There was no seismic activity in the area to indicate that the eruption
was imminent, catching the Rabaul Volcanic Observatory by surprise.
Ritter Island is an active volcano. The island is spewing ash and
smoke. Thousands of people on the eastern side of the Siassi Island in
Morobe province are homeless after fleeing to higher grounds after the
nearby active Ritter Island blew up. Reports from the area confirmed
that tidal waves created by the eruption smashed into Kabi and Kampalap
villages on the eastern part of Siassi Island, flattening four houses
and sending about 10,000 local villagers fleeing to the hills for
safety. Reports did not say whether tidal waves generated by the latest
eruption were as destructive to other small islands in the area and
parts of the East and West New Britain provinces. The aftershocks from
the latest volcanic eruption could trigger further tsunamis and it was
advisable for the people in low lying villages and areas to move to
higher grounds for their safety.
April - Volcanoes 2007: Instituto Geofisico-Escuela Politecnica Nacional,
reported that during early March, the number of tectonic earthquakes
from Reventador increased. Steam-and-ash plumes were sporadically
visible and rose to altitudes of 4 km (13,000 ft) a.s.l. Occasionally
during 8-22 March. On 21 March, noises were reported. The next day,
seismic signals changed and indicated possible emissions. On 24 March,
local people saw ash plumes and incandescent material near the crater
and heard roaring noises. An explosion produced a plume that rose to an
altitude of 6.6 km (21,700 ft) a.s.l. And drifted W. Based on reports
from IG, the Washington VAAC reported an ash plume to altitudes of
3.7-7 km (12,000-23,000 ft) a.s.l. That drifted NE and WNW during 26-27
March. A thermal anomaly was present on satellite imagery during 24-27
March.
Spectacular Volcano Eruption on 'La Reunion' Volcano:
Raging lava has spewed out of one of the world's most active volcanos
on the French island of La Reunion. The red-hot lava cut roads in half,
damaged homes and created huge clouds of steam as it flowed into the
Indian Ocean. The volcano has spewed massive lava flow and tossed magma
as high as skyscrapers. The violent eruption resulted in the collapse
of the summit, magma being spewed 200m into the air and the lava
cutting off a national highway. Ten days after violently awakening, a
volcano on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion continued spewing lava on
Sunday in what experts called "the eruption of the century."
The remote island of Ranongga
in the western Solomon Islands has been elevated 3 meters out of the
sea by the force of last Monday's earthquake exposing once submerged
coral reefs.
MANILA, Philippines:
A restive Philippine volcano shot ash and thick gray smoke four
kilometers (2.5 miles) into the sky Sunday, drawing applause from
tourists but renewing villagers' concerns, officials said. Breaking
three months of silence, 1,560-meter (5,149-foot) Mount Bulusan, one of
the country's 22 active volcanoes, belched ash and smoke for more than
20 minutes and rained ash on at least seven villages, the Philippine
Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said.
After days of restlessness, Mount Bulusan Sunday
spewed ash plumes for 27 minutes that reached as high as four
kilometers and dusted at least 24 barrages in three towns, the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said. The Phivolcs
said Bulusan erupted at around 5:45 a.m. It likened the activity to an
"explosion-type earthquake." As of 8 a.m., 42 volcanic earthquakes had
been recorded. Ash falls as thick as 1 mm to 1.5 mm in affected
villages were reported.
Scientists on the Indian Ocean
island of Reunion have discovered hundreds of fish of unknown species,
floating belly-up in the sea, following a spectacular volcanic eruption
over the past week.
BEND, Ore.—
the west side of the South Sister volcano is still bulging, but not as
much. The rate of expansion of the uplift has slowed to about half the
previous rate on the 10,358-foot mountain, geologists say. According to
data collected last summer and released Wednesday, the growth rate of
the bulge is about half an inch a year. Until 2004, the bulge rose an
average of just over an inch a year after it began in late 1997 or
early 1998 about three miles west of the volcano's summit. Scientists
believe the uplift is caused by magma — hot molten rock and gases —
pushing up from deep below the Earth's surface to a depth of about 4
miles below the surface. As the magma intrudes into the rocky crust, it
pushes up the ground above it. The uplift was first discovered in 2001,
when a geologist in California was comparing radar images taken from
satellites in different years, said Dan Dzurisin, a geologist with the
U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver,
Wash. Since then, geologists have used a variety of techniques to
measure the ground movement — including radar imaging from satellites,
Global Positioning System monitoring and leveling techniques."The
picture that emerged this summer is the uplift is still going on, all
three techniques showed that, but it slowed some," said Dzurisin.So
far, magma has pushed the center of the uplift up about 10 inches,
Dzurisin said. The bulge covers an area about 10 miles in diameter on
the west flank of the volcano. Geologists are interested in tracking
the progress of the uplift because it's the first time they've had a
chance to measure action like this in the Cascade Range, Dzurisin said.
There is some information about what happened beneath Mount St. Helens
a few months before its May 1980 eruption. But geologists didn't have a
chance to extensively monitor its activity in the previous years to see
if uplifts occurred. The slowdown in growth on the South Sister in the
last couple of years wasn't a surprise to the geologists keeping a
close eye on the bulge, he said."When you look at other volcanoes that
have had periods of uplift, most of them last a few years," he said. "A
small percentage of them result in an eruption. Most of them
stop."South Sister is an active volcano that last erupted about 2,000
years ago, and is expected to erupt again, said Willie Scott, a
geologist with the Cascades Volcano Observatory.
Increased volcanic activity at southern Peru's Ubinas Volcano
has already caused alarm and panic among the citizens that live in the
towns near the base of Ubinas. Now, the area's schoolchildren are
coming down with health problems as they breathe in volcanic ash that
has been released into the sky by recent explosions. According to
Ubinas authority Antonio Maldonado, most of the town is covered in
volcanic ash."Approximately 80% of Querapi (town adjacent to the
volcano) is covered in volcanic ash. Despite this, many people have
returned to their homes after residents complained that they were not
helped when they evacuated to Chagechajen (point of evacuation),"
informed Maldonado. Peru's CPN Radio reports that 4 children between
the ages of 14 and 15 have experienced fainting spells and vomiting,
causing profound concern among their parents and classmates. "These
children are students from Querapi School, which is near the Volcano
and it has been determined that they were affected by breathing in the
volcanic ash," added Maldonado. Ubinas volcano, located in the
southern Peruvian region of Moquegua, has seen a dramatic increase in
activity lately. Authorities evacuated the area but apparently the
majority of residents have returned after receiving little to no help
from the evacuation sites.
NEIVA, Colombia --
Thousands of people were evacuated after a long-dormant volcano erupted
late Tuesday and again early Wednesday, provoking avalanches and floods
that swept away houses and bridges. The Nevadaodel Huila volcano's
eruptions were its first on record since Colombia was colonized by the
Spanish 500 years ago. The volcano began erupting one month ago after
being dormant for 452 years.
March - Volcanoes 2007: Scientists are to sail to the mid-Atlantic
to examine a massive "open wound" on the Earth's surface. Dr Chris
MacLeod, from Cardiff University, said the Earth's crust appeared to be
completely missing in an area thousands of kilometers across. The hole
in the crust is midway between the Cape Verde Islands and the
Caribbean, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The team will survey the area, up
to 5km (3 miles) under the surface, from ocean research vessel RRS
James Cook. Dr MacLeod said the hole in the Earth's crust was not
unique, but was recognized as one of the most significant. He said it
was an "open wound on the surface of the Earth", where the oceanic
crust, usually 6-7km thick (3.7-4.3 miles), was simply not there.
"Usually the plates are pulled apart and to fill the gap the mantle
underneath has to rise up. As it comes up it starts to melt. That forms
the magma," he said. "That's the normal process. Here it has gone awry
for some reason. "The crust does not seem to be repairing itself." Dr
MacLeod said the research could lead to a "new way of understanding"
the process of plate tectonics. The scientist will test theories he
developed after visiting the area in 2001 - including the possibility
the missing crust was caused by a "detachment fracture". "Effectively
it's a huge rupture - one side is being pulled away from the other.
It's created a rupture so big it's actually pulled the entire crust
away. "We also think the mantle did not melt as much as usual and that
the normal amount of mantle was not produced." As a result, the mantle
is exposed to seawater, creating a rock called serpentinite.
SALT LAKE CITY, March 2 --
A 17-year U.S. study shows the power of the huge volcanic hotspot
beneath Yellowstone National Park is much greater than thought. The
$2.3 million, 1987-2004 University of Utah study revealed the
approximately 300-mile-wide underground plume of molten rock known as
the Yellowstone hotspot exerts itself forcefully even when not
triggering eruptions and earthquakes.” The Yellowstone hotspot has had
a much bigger effect over a larger area with more energy than ever
expected," said University of Utah geophysics Professor Robert Smith,
who led the study.” We’re seeing large-scale deformation of the Earth's
crust in the western United States because of the effects of the
Yellowstone hotspot," added Christine Puskas, a geophysics doctoral
student and the study's first author. The research -- conducted by
Smith, Puskas, postdoctoral fellow Wu-Lung Chang and former Utah
researcher Chuck Meertens -- focused on the Yellowstone caldera, a
gigantic volcanic crater formed by a catastrophic eruption 642,000
years ago that was 1,000 times bigger than the 1980 eruption of Mount
St. Helens. The research is to appear in the March 2 issue of the
Journal of Geophysical Research -- Solid Earth.

Scientists: Lightning Good Indicator of Volcano Eruptions A
new study by Geophysical Institute researchers links lightning activity
to volcanic eruptions. Since the 1960's, intense lightning displays
have been recorded accompanying many large-scale volcanic eruptions.
For the first time, scientists were able to collect data fully
describing lightning activity during the 2006 Mt. Augustine eruption,
according to an article published in the journal Science last week.
San Salvador -
The continuous telluric movements in the perimeters of volcano Santa
Ana, west of El Salvador, are keeping authorities of the National
Territorial Studies Service (SNET) in alert.
Guatemala's National Disaster Reduction Coordination office
declared an orange alert on Friday after the Fuego Volcano, some 45 km
from Guatemala City, erupted and triggered waves of small earthquakes.
The eruption spewed ash 500 meters into the air, and triggered 20 to 30
small earthquakes a minute. The warning affects more than 31,000 people
living in 14 nearby towns. Eruption records of Fuego Volcano, one of
the country's most active volcanoes, date back to 1542, and at its
fiercest it could spray ash all the way to El Salvador or Honduras.
The torrent of water and mud,
which burst out of the hot Crater Lake atop Mt Ruapehu on the North
Island’s volcanic, plateau today could have been far worse, say
authorities. A seven-meter high soft rock and ash dam that had penned
the lake since the mountain erupted violently in 1995 finally gave way
late this morning. There has been a series of small earthquakes in New
Zealand following the collapse of a volcanic crater lake. Our New
Zealand correspondent, Peter Lewis, reports an estimated 1.3 million
cubic meters of mud and volcanic debris drained out of Mount Ruapehu's
crater lake, after its banks burst.

St. Helens May Continue Dome-Building for Decades:
Picture a line of pickup trucks dumping loads of lava every few
seconds, and you have an idea how quickly lava is piling up in the
crater of Mount St. Helens. Now imagine that stream of vehicles
continuing, day and night, for a generation. Mount St. Helens may be
following the example of Kilauea in Hawaii with magma being replaced
from a reservoir beneath the volcano as fast as it emerges as lava at
the surface, scientists say.
New Report Issued on Montserrat Volcano BRADES, Montserrat -
According to Montserrat's Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), the
Soufriere Hills lava dome has continued to grow at a high rate, since

White Island about to blow? -
There have been more tremors at White Island off Whakatane. Equipment
monitoring the Crater Lake shows seismic activity at the island has
increased over the last three weeks. Shakes on Friday and the
increasing lake temperature have scientists on volcano watch. They warn
visitors to the island to be aware of the dangers, but there is no
evidence of a full-scale lava eruption at this stage. The lake is now
74 degrees Celsius, which has caused rapid evaporation of water and the
lake's level to drop six meters. Several hot pools and waterways on the
island have begun to dry up. The volcano has released an increased
amount of sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere over
recent months. None of the normal tests are giving much indication
about what exactly is going on and scientists will keep monitoring the
volcano. For now, the alert level is at one and will only be increased
once volcanic eruptions start. White Island last erupted in 2000.
Klyuchevskoi volcano has begun erupting on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's Far East.
The eruption does not immediately threaten the peninsula's settlements,
but volcanic ash, consisting of magma particles with a diameter of up
to 2 millimeters (.078 inches), can poison land and water. Ash
emissions and trails can also present a danger to aircraft. At about 11
a.m. Moscow time (8 a.m. GMT), experts at the institute's monitoring
station observed a pulsating glow above the giant volcano's crater,
indicating that fresh magma was rising to the surface. The ash trail
from the eruption has already spread 35 kilometers (21 miles) to the
southwest of Klyuchevskoi. Volcanologists predicted the volcano's
imminent eruption three weeks ago.
Kamchatka’s Shiveluch Volcano Emits Ash to 5.2 Kilometers KAMCHATSKY --

ROME A
volcano on the tiny Sicilian Island Stromboli erupted Tuesday, spewing
lava into the sea and sparking a warning from authorities worried it
could cause a small tsunami. The island was almost entirely evacuated
in early 2002 after a landslide caused a wave of water that in turn
caused several minor injuries. Authorities with Italy's Civil
Protection Department feared the latest eruption would cause another
such landslide. "At present, there are risks for the population but the
risks are minor for those who are following instructions," Guido
Bertolaso, head of the Civil Protection Department, told Sky TG24 News.
Bertolaso said people living on Stromboli have been told to stay 10
meters above sea level and those on the nearby islands of Panarea and
Lipari have been advised to do the same. Stromboli, 65 kilometers north
of Sicily, is noted for frequent minor eruptions and attracts tourists
eager to see lava inching down the side of the volcano. It is the
northernmost of seven islands in the Aeolian archipelago north of
Sicily. In spring 2003, the volcano sent hardened lava raining down on
some of the settlements nestled in the folds of its green slopes. A few
chunks crashed into houses. Stromboli is not the only active volcano in
southern Italy, with Mount Etna in Sicily coming to life every few
months.
January - Volcanoes 2007: Montserrat Hundreds
of people living at the base of Montserrat's Soufriere Hills volcano
evacuated as a lava dome grew to dangerous levels in the British
Caribbean Island. Scientists say that the dome could crumble and send
blistering gas and volcanic debris down the slopes of the volcano,
potentially destroying homes in the low-lying Belham Valley. "Residents
in these areas are advised not to panic and to start preparations for
moving to safe area," Chief Minister Lowell Lewis said after the first
siren sounded Wednesday. The volcanic dome had been building rapidly
and has topped the highest part of the 914-metre volcano, which coughs
up ash and bursts its lava cap every few months. Scientists at the
Montserrat Volcano Observatory said some pyroclastic flows already have
been observed but that they are at a safe distance. However, the
observatory warned that the pyroclastic flows could escalate
significantly. The Soufriere Hills volcano sprang to life in 1995, and
more than half the territory's 12,000 inhabitants moved away. An
eruption in 1997 buried much of the south, including the capital of
Plymouth, and killed 19 people.
January 3
marked the 24th anniversary of Kilauea’s LONGEST RIFT-ZONE ERUPTION IN
THE LAST 600 YEARS. In the early years of this eruption, lava fountains
as high as 460 m (1,500 ft) burst from Pu`u `O`o every three to four
weeks. In the summer of 1986, the eruption shifted to a new vent, named
Kupaianaha, 3 km (1.9 mi) downrift. Kupaianaha was the site of
continuous eruption for the next 5.5 years. The eruption changed its
style as well as its location, becoming less exuberant with age.
Episodic lava fountains were replaced by quiet, steady effusion. Lava
reached the ocean in November 1986, traveling through lava tubes most
of the way. Vog became an island issue as the continuous activity
produced a pall of sulphurous air that has been with it ever since. The
past year has been relatively quiet, with lava flows mostly recoating
older flows.
8-The volcano that destroyed
Montserrat's capital in 1997 shot a cloud of ash more than five miles
into the sky on Monday, and one of the Caribbean island's chief
scientists said the blast was “a warning call.” The government has
advised about 50 families on the northwestern side of the volcano's
base that their homes were at risk from flows of blistering gas and
debris if the dome collapses. The blast, accompanied by increased
seismic rumbling, released gases and steam from inside a lava dome that
has grown rapidly over the last week. The volcano's latest burst of
activity began on Dec. 24. Glowing streaks of red from the pyroclastic
flows have created nighttime spectacles visible across much of the
island. The volcano's rising dome remained in place after Monday's
explosion, raising fears of a bigger event soon.
Managua - Nicaragua's Telica volcano,
one of six active in the Central American nation, threw a column of ash
and gas hundreds of feet into the air on Tuesday. Around 2 500 people
live close to the volcano, but no one was evacuated.
BRADES, Montserrat:
The onset of explosive activity from Montserrat's Soufriere Hills
volcano has caused the country’s Governor to declare a mandatory
evacuation for affected communities and extend the exclusion zone to
include the new areas that are now unsafe to enter.
Huge Threat Posed by Auckland Volcanoes.
Geologists say new research shows there have been seven eruptions in
the Auckland volcano field which each buried the region where the city
lies under more than 10cm of ash. "That amount of ash would cause chaos
in Auckland," said GNS Science volcanologist Graham Leonard. "From a
hazard point of view, that is pretty significant".
Volcano Erupts in Comoros, Spewing Lava and Rattling Residents.
A volcano spat forth lava and black smoke early Saturday on an island
in Comoros in the Indian Ocean, triggering tremors throughout the day
and rattling residents, officials said.
'Comoros' Volcano Tremors Grow Stronger. MORONI
- Earth tremors from 'Comoros' volcano Mount Karthala grew stronger and
more frequent, residents said on Sunday, forcing thousands of nervous
families to sleep outside overnight for fear their homes might
collapse. Grand Comore, was put on red alert after Mount Karthala began
to glow red and emit suffocating fumes late on Friday. While lava
levels inside the crater have subsided, earth tremors have become more
frequent. Tremors were lasting up to five seconds and had reached five
on the Richter scale. "The lava and the gases remain trapped and are
looking to crack through the mountain. It seems the main chimney is
blocked. The frequency of the tremors shows that a (lava) flow could
happen in any part of the island." "The tremors get stronger and
stronger every 15 minutes. A good number of people have packed their
bags, ready to flee in case of eruption." A resident from a village on
the volcano's western slope said high temperatures had made the air
dry. "It feels like everything will explode.” MOUNT KARTHALA, which
overlooks the capital of the Comoros islands, began erupting early
Saturday, producing a red glow over the top of the volcano. The
eruption was similar to last one in May 2006, which saw fiery jets of
lava shoot into the main crater of the only active volcano on the
Indian Ocean archipelago, creating eerily glowing red clouds in the

Thousands Could be at Risk in UK if Iceland Volcano Erupts
A WELSH scientist believes up to 100,000 UK residents are at risk of
being killed by a noxious gas cloud from an Icelandic volcano. He is
claiming huge numbers of previously little-studied deaths down the
centuries can be attributed to periodic gas releases from massive
eruptions on the volcanic island.
Comoros Plans for 30,000 Volcano Refugees MORONI
- Authorities in the Comoros islands have made emergency plans to help
as many as 30,000 people expected to be uprooted if one of the world's
largest active volcanoes erupts, officials said on Tuesday.
Comoros Island Shakes, Volcano Still a Threat MORONI
- 'Comoros' largest island shook twice on Thursday, residents said, and
experts said there was still a threat of eruption from the Indian Ocean
archipelago's Mount Karthala volcano despite the tremors weakening.
When a Killer Cloud Hit Britain U.K. -
A little over 200 years ago, the eruption of a volcano in Iceland sent
a huge toxic cloud across Western Europe. It was the greatest natural
disaster to hit modern Britain, killing many thousands - but it has
been almost forgotten by history.
Hudson Volcano Rumbling and Fears of an Eruption SOUTHERN CHILE-
Chilean authorities in the XI Region of Aysén are closely monitoring
the repeated tremors in the area and are prepared for the event of a
major seism or the eruption of the Hudson volcano.
Bulusan Volcano Spews Ash Anew Legazpi City --
Mount Bulusan in Sorsogon province showed new signs of restiveness as
it spewed ash anew on Wednesday evening on nearby villages. Hundreds
of earthquakes and tremors have shaken Chile’s remote Aysen region for
a week, causing anxiety among locals. Quakes have registered between 2
and 5.4 on the Richter scale. Tectonic movement along the seismic fault
that runs from the 9th to the 11th regions is causing the earthquakes.
Residents worried that volcanic activity was producing the tremors, a
sign of imminent eruption. The phenomenon has brought back memories of
the 1991 disaster caused by the Hudson Volcano, which erupted for over
five months, covering the area with ash and killing tens of thousands
of farm animals. The eruption of Hudson was preceded by a similar spate
of tremors and earthquakes. Many in the Aysen region have experienced
stress, anxiety and even panic attacks because of the shaking.
Anti-anxiety medication and eye-masks have been on high demand to
combat widespread insomnia. In addition to the stress caused by the
threat of an eruption, residents worry about the state’s capacity to
deal with a disaster. Residents have been warned to take precautionary
measures, such as disconnecting gas lines and unplugging electronic
devices at night. They are also stocking up on emergency supplies like
bottled water, canned goods, batteries and candles.
Ash Plume from Shiveluch Volcano on Kamchatka PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY -
A plume of ash from the eruption of the Shiveluch volcano on Russia’s
Kamchatka Peninsula has stretched for 210 kilometers southwest of the
giant mount, the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Service of the
Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN) told Itar-Tass.

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.
The studies on each of my five different Websites are based upon the King James Version Holy Bible.
The "expanded translation" in which I have made on some of the
Scriptures are based upon the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New
Testament, using a Lexicon, from which each of the words came from. I've
only expanded the word usage of the Hebrew or Greek word meaning. I
have in no way attempted to alter the Scriptures in any way, beyond what
written in the King James Version Holy Bible, other than to use the modern day English and the Lexicon word usage.

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...

See the Greek Word #1577
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:

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,

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

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 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...

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"???
