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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I John 1

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

I John 2

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

I John 3

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

I John 4

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

I John 5

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

II John 1

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

III John 1

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

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

December - Volcanoes 2008:  INDONESIA - 2004 tsunami just the beginning of EARTHQUAKE SUPERCYCLE, say scientists. Massive earthquakes in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sumatra are just the beginning. Researchers expect a 30-year cycle of mega-quakes like the one that caused the 2004 tsunami. Scientists studying Sumatran reefs say the coral there have experienced massive die-offs as well as new horizontal growth about every two hundred years. Moreover, these changes happened in fits and starts over phases of about 30 - 100 years. That suggests the area experiences what's called an "earthquake super cycle" for several decades every two centuries. Last year's 8.4 quake off the coast of Sumatra is probably the first quake in a new super cycle, since the last big die-off in the coral reefs took place in 1833. Other quake cycles hit in 1374, 1596, 1675, and 1797.Geophysicist Yehuda Bock co-authored a study published in Nature last week that asserted the recent Sumatra quakes were just the beginning.
WYOMING - Swarm of small quakes hits Yellowstone area. The quakes of magnitude 3.5 and lower have been occurring beneath Yellowstone Lake, five to nine miles south-southeast of Fishing Bridge, a park landmark. The earthquakes that began on Friday and continued on Saturday intensified during the weekend, and there were reports that people in the Yellowstone Lake area felt the quakes. The quakes have been in an area of the park where quake swarms are common. Scientists are closely monitoring more than 250 small earthquakes that have occurred in Yellowstone National Park since Friday. A professor of geophysics at the University of Utah says it's VERY UNUSUAL to have so many over several days. The largest tremor was Saturday and measured magnitude 3.8.
WYOMING- The swarm of small earthquakes in Yellowstone National Park is THE MOST INTENSE MEASURED THERE IN YEARS, leaving scientists puzzled. The region is known for such swarms - 1,000 to 2,000 quakes occur annually in the park. Yellowstone's 10,000 geysers and hot springs, including the Old Faithful Geyser, may be the result of this geologic activity. But the latest shaking is notable for the number of tiny temblors and their intensity, according to a statement Monday from the University of Utah, where scientists monitor seismic activity in Yellowstone. Researchers have long predicted that the Yellowstone supervolcano will eventually erupt again, with devastating consequences for much of the United States. Half the country could be covered in ash up to 3 feet (1 meter) deep, one study predicts. But those same researchers say nothing suggests such an eruption is imminent. Last year researchers reported on unusual slow movement below the surface that is tied to a newfound gradual sinking of the nearby Teton Range. And in 2006, scientists discovered that in the previous decade, the volcano had risen nearly 5 inches. "Could it develop into a bigger fault or something related to hydrothermal activity? We don't know."
RUSSIA - Fears of explosive volcano eruption closes Kamchatka Airport - Predictions that the Koryak Volcano located about 13nm north-north-east of Petropavlosvk-Kamchatsky Airport on the Kamchatka peninsula might burst into an explosive eruption, have closed the Petropavlosvk-Kamchatsky Airport. The Volcano has increased its eruptions in the recent days. Now collapses at the north-western slope of the volcano at a height of about 3100 meters triggered fears the volcano might burst into an explosive eruption. The volcano's last significant eruption was estimated about 3500 year ago, the last minor eruption was in 1957.
 
November - Volcanoes  2008:   ETHIOPIA - A volcano in Ethiopia's northeastern Afar region erupted on Monday, prompting a minor earthquake and RECORD LAVA FLOWS covering 300 square kilometers. The volcano around the Arteale area spewed lava around noon on Monday. The institute said it subsequently monitored a small earthquake on the same site, around the Horn of Africa nation's famed Mount Arteale, the only active volcano in the area. The Arteale range 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.
ETHIOPIA - The Dalla Filla volcano in a remote area of northeastern Ethiopia erupted this week, spewing lava over tens of square miles in THE BIGGEST VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN THE COUNTRY'S RECORDED HISTORY. Ethiopian researchers working with scientists in the U.K. first detected the eruption on Nov. 3. Officials have been sent to the Afar region to investigate the explosion, which was of a similar magnitude to eruptions of Mount Etna in Italy in May. "We have NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE OBSERVING ANYTHING LIKE THIS HERE. People heard loud noises and explosions from a distance and saw smoke and felt the ground shake." It's the third eruption in Ethiopia's Afar region since 2005. A number of the world's best-known fossils have been discovered in Afar, including one of the earliest ancestors of man, known as Lucy.
RUSSIA - Shiveluch, Russia's northernmost active volcano is emitting ash to a height of 4000 meters (13000 feet). Shiveluch, on the Kamchatka Peninsula, last erupted in December 2006 and has been active ever since with the volcano spewing out gas and ash up to 8,000 meters (26,000 feet). The local seismological service reported registering nearly 170 tremors within the area in the past 24 hours. According to specialists, the volcanic activity over the past two-three years has significantly altered the contour of the volcano with the crater increasing in size by 50% and the slopes becoming far steeper than previously. The volcanic eruption poses no threat to Kamchatka settlements, although the clouds of volcanic ash are causing problems for air traffic.
ALASKA- The Alaska Volcano Observatory has changed the volcano alert level for Redoubt Volcano to advisory, with an aviation code level of yellow. AVO said it changed the alert level due to changes in gas emission and heat output from the volcano about 82 miles west of Kenai in Lake Clark National Park on the west side of Cook Inlet. The recent changes are different from background activity. "There is no indication that an eruption is imminent or even certain." AVO said it would expect a dramatic increase in seismicity before another explosive eruption. Starting in July, field crews working near the volcano summit smelled hydrogen sulfide gas. In September, a pilot flying nearby also reported smelling hydrogen sulfide. The gas smells might indicate new magma entering chambers under Redoubt. Satellite images taken on Oct. 13 showed increased warming. Observers on flights over Redoubt also reported seeing bare, steaming rock, including a 150-foot wide melt hole on the Drift Glacier.
COLUMBIA - Thousands of people were evacuated Thursday after the Nevado del Huila volcano erupted. Authorities declared a state of red alert and order everyone within the surroundings to immediately leave their homes. Authorities called for the immediate evacuation of La Plata, Paicol, Nátaga and Tesalia, but it's uncertain if the population of the surrounding towns and villages cooperate with authorities. In April this year many people refused to respond to an evacuation call. The eruption took place at 21:45 and immediately made the Colombian seismologist institute to raise the state of alert to its highest level. The eruption caused a mudslide that passed an indigenous settlement alongside the Paez river, but no injuries were reported. Seismic activity seemed to go down again after the initial eruption, but authorities remain cautious. An eruption of the volcano in 1994 - the first in 500 years - resulted in the deaths of more than a thousand indigenous living close to the volcano. 
 
October - Volcanoes 2008:   ALASKA - Redoubt Volcano reported steaming. An over flight last week by the Alaska Volcano Observatory saw increased steaming. Scientists flew to the volcano about 51 miles east of Kenai following reports on Sept. 16 by a pilot of a strong hydrogen sulfide odor and on Sept. 23 by nearby residents of loud noises coming from the volcano. No increased earthquake activity has been measured, and the alert level for Redoubt remains at normal. In the over flight on Sept. 27, scientists reported new fractures and openings in the upper Drift Glacier on the north side of Redoubt. Fumaroles on the 1968 and 1990 domes also were seen to be steaming more vigorously. A distinct hydrogen sulfide odor also was smelled on the over flight, but instruments did not detect sulfur dioxide. Seismic instruments on Redoubt have not shown increased small earthquakes above normal background levels. Redoubt last erupted in 1989-90, causing ash to fall on the Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage, and shutting down air traffic. In the months before the 1989-1990 eruption, increased activity in fumaroles and sulfur odors preceded the eruption - but there also was an increase in earthquakes. If the current low-level unrest leads to an eruption, an increase in earthquake activity should be noticed.
ALASKA - Eruption of 3 volcanoes has scientists asking questions - Is there a common thread or were events just coincidence? How likely is it that three neighboring volcanoes would all erupt at the same time - as the Kasatochi, Okmok and Cleveland volcanoes in the Aleutians did this summer? About as likely as a storm that only appears once in a thousand years, says an Anchorage volcanologist. All 40 active volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc - a 1,500-mile-long necklace of volcanic peaks that stretch from Kiska Island in the west to Mount Spurr near Anchorage in the east - owe their existence to the deep, subterranean collision of two tectonic plates. But the plumbing isn't necessarily connected, and the volcanoes don't all go off at once. Each has its own combustion chamber, its own pressure issues, and one volcano under stress may well border another one that's quiet. Since Alaska has so many volcanoes, it's not that unusual to have two that erupt the same year. In fact that's the average. And it's not unheard of to have two volcanoes erupting at the same time, especially since some volcanoes blow off steam and ash for weeks or even months. Having three volcanoes in the 1,500-mile arc erupting all at once, however, is less likely. And it's even more unlikely that three volcanoes would all erupt at the same time within 300 miles of each other, as the three central Aleutian peaks did, more or less, in July and August. That makes it harder to dismiss the triple-eruption as a chance occurrence. So geologists are exploring other explanations. One of them focuses on the fact that all three volcanoes lie within the rupture zone of the 1957 "Great Aleutian Earthquake," a magnitude 8.3 tremor that generated a tsunami that damaged buildings in far-off Hawaii. Because there was so much disruption of earth along the quake's fault line, the ground around it was drastically distorted and compressed.
RUSSIA - A volcanic eruption on the Kamchatka Peninsula sent clouds of smoke and ash into the air above Russia's Far East on Thursday, with scientists warning of dangers to local inhabitants and passing airplanes. The Klyuchevskoy volcano is spewing out rocks, ash and gases. "The luminescence in the volcano's crater is becoming more intensive, which testifies to the appearance of new lava." The eruption will probably last from two or three weeks to six months. Continuous flows of lava running down Klyuchevskoy's slopes could trigger mudslides as the molten rock melts the snow and ice, endangering people living in nearby villages. 
 
September - Volcanoes 2008:   PHILIPPINES - Mayon and Taal volcanoes in Southern Luzon are still tightly watched by state volcanologists as they continue to show signs of restiveness. For the past 24 hours, 10 volcanic earthquakes were detected around Mt. Mayon in Albay. White steam clouds drifting towards west-southwest and crater glow at intensity 1 could be observed. Taal Volcano in Batangas registered three weak volcanic earthquakes over the past 24 hours.
ALASKA - Aleutian volcano makes dramatic topographical changes - When Kasatochi volcano erupted last month, it did more than release massive clouds of ash and sulfur – it remade the face of the island.
HAWAII - A lava lake is bubbling under the surface of Kilauea volcano's summit. Scientists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on Hawaii's Big Island discovered the lake Friday during a routine flyby over the summit’s active Halemaumau crater vent. It was the first time they had seen such activity at the vent since it opened up with an eruption on March 19. The sloshing 160-foot diameter lava lake is about 330 feet below the rim of the vent. HVO scientists have long speculated that magma was bubbling just below the surface of the vent, but were unable to visually confirm this until the helicopter flyby. Scientists say that the volume of material ejected in Tuesday’s explosion and the vent’s unusually bright incandescence on recent nights are consistent with lava ponding just below the surface of the vent.
COLUMBIA - Volcano Nevado Del Huila - Residents have been urged to abandon their homes in a scattering of towns in the western departments of Cauca and Huila as officials put a yellow alert in effect in expectation of the eruption of Volcano Nevado del Huila. As many as 108 seismic events are occurring daily, up from between 80 and 89 in the last week of August. In the last eight days, 761 seismic events have been registered, including 197 relating to fluid dynamics inside volcanoes, and the most powerful have registered up to 4.6 on the Ritcher scale.
Saturday, 13 September 2008 Sky watchers also have seen rings of light around sun and moon By Andrea Thompson Senior WriterLiveScience Reports of unusually fiery orange sunsets on Earth and ruby red rings around the planet Venus have popped up on the Internet in the last week. Some sky watchers suspect that are being colored by the dust and gases injected into the atmosphere by the Aug. 7 eruption of Alaska's Kasatochi volcano. The sky watchers are probably right. Kasatochi, part of the Aleutian Island... Kasatochi, part of the Aleutian Island chain, sent an ash plume more than 35,000 feet into the sky.
REUNION - A volcano on France's Indian Ocean island of Reunion started erupting on Sunday, forcing authorities to raise the alert for a possible emergency. "A light lava flow escaped from one crack located about mid-way on the slope of the crater" of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. "A small lake of lava formed at the bottom of the crater and at this stage does not appear to pose any danger." However, access to the volcanic site has been banned. The Volcano Observatory on the island registered a movement of lava and release of sulfur dioxide-laden gas mid-afternoon on Sunday. The eruption is the first since the violent awakening in April 2007 which was dubbed the "eruption of the century."  
 
August - Volcanoes 2008:   ALASKA KASATOCHI VOLCANO near Atka, on the Aleutian chain, erupted Thursday afternoon. Kasatochi is a young volcano with no known historical eruptions, though it is covered in relatively young volcanic debris. The Alaska Volcano Observatory does not have any scientific instruments on the volcano and relies on seismic data from nearby islands. [There has been an ongoing large cluster of moderate and small quakes in the Aleutian Islands near Atka and Adak since Wednesday, including a 5.8 near Adak yesterday. In early May, the nearby island of Adak was hit by three tremors with a magnitude greater than 6 over a two week period. They were followed by hundreds of smaller aftershocks.
PHILIPPINES- Almost two years after its major eruption, Mayon Volcano spewed ash again Sunday morning reaching about 200 meters above the crater before drifting east-northeast. The ash-ejection was recorded by seismic sensors around the volcano as an explosion-type earthquake, which lasted for one minute. Thick clouds covering the volcano’s summit at that time hindered visual observation of the phreatic explosion, which occurred at 9:12 a.m. Sunday. “Seismic activity during the past weeks had slightly increased as well as crater glow which had slightly intensified...observations show that Mayon Volcano is undergoing an episode of increased activity probably related to magma movement towards the crater or a post eruptive behavior of the volcano."
INDONESIA- Mt Anak Krakatau in the Sunda strait had 120 eruptions and quakes throughout Monday, prompting the Volcanological and Geological Disaster Mitigation Centger to declare the volcano and its surroundings in level-2 alert status. "Even now the volcano is still spewing red-hot lava and thick smoke."
COLUMBIA - A volcano erupted twice Tuesday in a rural area of the Canalete municipality in the northern coastal department of Córdoba. No injuries were reported, but several paths and pastures were damaged. Residents of the zone are being evacuated to protect them from further eruptions. The volcano, Lalorenza, has been inactive for the last five years.
 
July - Volcanoes 2008:   CHILE – The government has declared a red alert around the Llaima volcano on Friday, July 4, just days after it spewed lava down one of its sides. Llaima's renewed activity, which on Thursday was quite significant, comes after the Chaiten volcano, 760 miles south of Santiago, started erupting on May 2 for the first time in thousands of years, spewing out ash, gas and molten rock.
CHILE - Llaima volcano, one of the most active in South America, spewed pyroclastic rock 1300 feet into night skies early on Thursday, July 10. At approximately 4 AM, the Llaima volcano began displaying new, intense activity with a series of explosions occurring inside the mountain’s main crater and lava flows being observed in two areas on the western slope of the peak. This reactivation is the most significant episode since January 1st of this year, when the volcano registered intermittent explosions throughout the night and an emergency plan was activated in the four adjoining municipalities of Vilcún, Culco, Melipeuco and Curacuatín. The volcanic activity at the peak began with renewed intensity Thursday after a noticeable reduction had been observed over the previous 48 hours. Three lava flows can be seen on the mountain heading towards the Calbuco River area, which is under constant observation.Chile's chain of around 2,000 volcanoes is the world's second-largest after Indonesia's. At least 50 volcanoes are recorded to have erupted, while a total of 500 are deemed potentially active.
NICARAGUA- San Cristobal volcano rumbled with a series of small explosions on Friday and spewed gases and ash that reached a small town in the northwest of the country, but authorities said no one was hurt. San Cristobal is Nicaragua's highest volcano and one of eight active volcanoes in the small Central American nation. The volcano produced a series of tremors in recent weeks but it does not pose an immediate risk to communities living in surrounding areas.
ALASKA - A volcano erupted Saturday with little warning on a remote island in Alaska, sending residents of a nearby ranch fleeing from falling ash and volcanic rock. The Okmok Caldera erupted late Saturday morning; just hours after seismologists at the Alaska Volcano Center began detecting a series of small tremors. The explosion flung an ash cloud at least 50,000 feet high.
SEA DIE-OUT BLAMED ON VOLCANOES - Undersea volcanic activity has been blamed for a mass extinction in the seas 93 million years ago. In the so-called "anoxic event" of the late Cretaceous Period, the ocean depths became starved of oxygen, wiping out swathes of marine organisms. At the time of the anoxic event, the average temperature was nearly twice that of today. Palm trees grew in what would later become Alaska and large reptiles roamed northern Canada. The Arctic Ocean was ice-free and scientists think it would have had a temperature we might describe today as lukewarm. After the extinction, levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere dropped and Earth lurched into a sudden, but short-lived, period of cooling. Geologists have pondered for years as to the cause of this extraordinary event. The answer to the cataclysm lies in volcanic eruptions which took place on the ocean floor. One possibility is that the volcanoes spewed out metal-rich fluids that seeded the upper level of the ocean with micronutrients. Tiny life forms on the sea surface, called phytoplankton, gorged on the food, and storing up carbon as they grew. They then sank to the sea floor and decayed, stripping the ocean of oxygen. The other possibility is that the volcanoes disgorged clouds of CO2 to the atmosphere, warming the climate to the extent that Earth's ocean circulation system ground to a near-halt. Beyond the surface layers, water was no longer turned over and anoxia (lack of oxygen) was the result.
ALASKA- Okmok Volcano in Alaska continues to produce explosions and ash plumes through a newly created vent and poses hazards to air travel in the area. The gas cloud from the eruption is now over Montana. Human visual observations are limited because airborne ash obscures a view of what is happening inside the volcano's 6-mile-diameter caldera and the area is too hazardous to enter. "We are dealing with a scientific challenge because the volcano went from very quiet to a large eruption, putting ash to high altitudes with almost no warning." The powerful eruption in the Eastern Aleutian Islands began unexpectedly on July 12, sending up a wet, ash and gas-rich plume that reached an altitude of 50,000 ft above sea level. Heavy ash fall occurred on eastern Umnak Island. A dusting of ash fell in the busy fishing community of Unalaska, 65 miles northeast of Okmok volcano. The ash plume soon spanned several hundred miles across the North Pacific, causing many trans-Pacific flights to be diverted and cancellation of flights to the Dutch Harbor airport. The eruption also destroyed or damaged seismic and deformation sensing equipment at two monitoring stations. A third station has lost its communication pathway due to destruction at the other two. Seven seismic stations are still operational and seismicity has gradually decreased in intensity since the initial eruption. At a minimum, activity at Okmok is likely to continue for days or weeks. Strong gas-driven explosions can produce rock ballistics or larger volcanic debris that can be hurled beyond the crater rim of the volcanic caldera, potentially landing in surrounding areas several miles away. Fast moving clouds of ash, larger debris, and hot gas can form and flow across the caldera floor, rise up over the caldera wall and continue to flow down Okmok's flanks. Rain mixed with ash could create mudflows and rapid flooding along island drainages. The Okmok caldera formed during catastrophic eruptions 12,000 and 2,000 years ago.
 
June - Volcanoes 2008:  JAPAN - Hot gas plumes detected at Mt. Kurikoma - The plumes were found near Hanayama in Kurihara, close to the border between Akita and Miyagi prefectures, and near Yu no Hama hot-spring spa. One of the plumes was spotted by Self-Defense Forces personnel Monday morning when they were searching for missing people at the site of a landslide where three vehicles are thought to have been buried. Aerial inspection from a helicopter showed that the plumes were rising from several spots. The plumes might be volcanic gases rising to the Earth's surface. "There's a possibility that volcanic gases that had been confined below ground are gushing out through fissures in the mountain created by the earthquake." It was also possible that the plumes were steam coming from underground hot water channels that had their course diverted by the earthquake. But they ruled out the possibility of increased volcanic activity on Mt. Kurikoma, saying that the plumes were very far from the summit of the volcano.
NEW ZEALAND - White Island still rattled after quake - Vulcanologists are continuing to keep a close eye on White Island. Two or three hundred aftershocks continue to rattle it after a 5.4 magnitude earthquake centered just 10 kilometers south-west of the volcano on Friday. GNS Science is warning people to stay off the island for another day or so. The aftershocks may have made it a bit touchy, and it is best to err on the side of caution. Some of the aftershocks have been as strong as magnitude four, and have been felt in the Bay of Plenty.
FIJI - scientists have discovered two mineral-rich, active volcanoes more than a kilometer under the sea near Fiji, with mining companies already lining up to try to exploit the sites. Measuring 50 kilometers wide by almost 4,000 meters tall, the volcanoes are bubbling away at 1,100 meters and 1,500 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in an area known as the North Lau Basin, between Tonga, Fiji and Samoa. They are within the Pacific rim of fire, an area of high earthquake activity, and are spewing into the sea black smoke containing precious minerals. The volcanoes are quite remarkable - "Some of the features look like the volcanic blisters seen on the surface of Venus."
Two new columns of smoke erupted from the Chaiten volcano after activity had calmed since late May. The Chaiten volcano, located some 760 miles south of the capital Santiago, started erupting on May 2 for the first time in thousands of years, spewing ash, gas, and molten rock.
North Pole- In a series of different expeditions on the Arctic Seafloor, there have been a number of volcano spots located that are actively spewing red-hot lava out of the seafloor. Jun 26, 2008.
ARCTIC - Researchers from an expedition to the Gakkel Ridge discovered, with a specially developed camera, extensive layers of volcanic ash on the seafloor, which indicates a gigantic volcanic eruption. "Explosive volcanic eruptions on land are nothing unusual and pose a great threat for whole areas. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and buried thriving Pompeii under a layer of ash and pumice. Far away in the Arctic Ocean, at 85° N 85° E, a similarly violent volcanic eruption happened almost undetected in 1999 - in this case, however, under a water layer of 4,000 m thickness." Previously researchers had assumed that explosive volcanism cannot happen in water depths exceeding 3 kilometers because of high ambient pressure. "These are the first pyroclastic deposits we've ever found in such deep water, at oppressive pressures that inhibit the formation of steam, and many people thought this was not possible." The Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean spreads so slowly at 6-14 mm/year, that current theories considered volcanism unlikely - until a series of 300 strong earthquakes over a period of eight months indicated the eruption. It was the largest swarm of earthquakes ever to occur along the planet’s system of mid-ocean ridges. 
 
May - Volcanoes 2008:    Two of nature’s most spectacular forces produced an incredible brew in the skies of Chile as a volcanic eruption met a lightning storm. Tones of dust and ash from the eruption of the Chaitén volcano poured into the night sky just as an electric storm passed overhead. The resulting collision created a spectacular sight as lightning flickered around the dust cloud amid the orange glow of the volcano. The eruption was all the more spectacular because the Chaitén volcano, 800 miles (1,290km) south of Santiago, has been dormant for hundreds — if not thousands — of years. The Patagonian volcano began erupting on Friday and the 12-mile-high plume has left vast tracts of land coated with a layer of ash.
India - The oozing of a lava-like substance from the earth created panic among villagers in Murti and surrounding areas of Baramati in Maharashtra Tuesday and the police cordoned the area off and then sent the liquid's samples for analysis. A hot jet of the molten substance was thrown out of the earth's bowels Sunday night. Though the substance has stopped oozing out since early Tuesday morning, it has turned into a semi-solid brackish rock-like formation spread over more than 30 square feet. The police also sent a message to the state geological department to investigate the substance. "We have sent samples of the material to the geological department and we will decide what to do after we get results of the tests." The material was coming out near an electric pole. "Since nothing has happened to the pole, it might not be lava, but we will wait for analysis results." The incident coincided with the reports of the killer earthquake in China and led to a widespread apprehension in the area.
Continuous eruptions are occurring at Chaitén volcano in Chile. The airfield at Chaitén town has been covered by ash and water, and is currently not able to be used. Ash and pumice is floating northwards along the Chile coast. The bay near Chaitén contains run-off from rivers with a milky-green color. A large amount of sediment has blocked river channels, and lahars will continue to overflow river edges. Over the past two days there has been a marked change in seismic activity at the volcano. Earthquake swarms indicate fracturing of the main conduit, and possible ascent of magma towards the surface. Increasing pressure from magma is creating a potential explosion hazard, and collapse of the dome, generating pyroclastic flows.
Semeru Volcano in Indonesia was upgraded to level 3 alert (out of a maximum 4). During the period 15-19 May there were 432 explosion earthquakes and 6 pyroclastic flows at the volcano.
Burma (Myanmar) - A mud volcano erupted on an island in Manaung Township in Arakan twice on the night of Sunday, May 25, but there are no reports on any damaged caused by the eruption. The volcano, situated on Nantha Kyunt Island along the Arakan Coast, erupted first at 12:30 am and a second time at 4 am. Molten lava spewed from the mouth of the volcano, reaching estimated heights of 120 feet into the sky. After the lava erupted, the area surrounding the volcano was inundated with mud that came from the volcano.
Montserrat - Volcanologists noticed signs of increased activity at the Soufriere Hills volcano, and at about 7.20 a.m. on May 20, the lava dome that had been growing from the main peak collapsed, triggering a pyroclastic flow to the east and emitting a big cloud of ash. Regularly scheduled flights to airports in the vicinity had been cancelled or diverted because of the huge ash cloud above the central Leeward Islands. The rear window of one resident's car was shattered by a rock ejected during the eruption. Nearly eleven years ago, Montserrat’s long-dormant Soufriere Hills Volcano began erupting for the first time in the island's recorded history. A series of pyroclastic flows and sometimes violent eruptions of ash and gases covered much of the southern part of Montserrat, including the capital, Plymouth, rendering it uninhabitable. The volcano is still very much active, though in recent years it's been relatively quiet, with small ash eruptions and pyroclastic flows every six or nine months.
Galapagos Islands - A volcano in the Galapagos Islands spewed molten lava, threatening 100-year-old giant tortoises. Officials say they may have to airlift the tortoises away from the volcano. The Cerro Azul Mountain started erupting on Thursday after 10 years of inactivity. In the last eruption in 1998, several rare tortoises were burned by lava flows.
 
April - Volcanoes 2008:  Warmer World Could Be A More Explosive One -  Much of the focus on global warming is always directed towards the obvious; food, water levels, animals. What makes the whole subject even more interesting though are the unexpected consequences of a warming planet. And if new research is to be believed, global warming may have an impact on volcanic eruptions.  According to Carolina Pagli of the University of Leeds, UK, and Freysteinn Sigmundsson of the University of Iceland, Vatnajökull – the largest ice cap in Iceland – is disappearing at a rate of 5 cubic kilometers per year. Together, the two have calculated the effects that this will have on the crust and magma underneath. Naturally, when ice disappears, the added weight it forced upon the crust below it disappears as well. As a result, according to Pagli and Sigmundsson, this is increasing the rate at which the rocks under the ice sheet melt in to magma. The melt to magma rate was found to be 0.014 km3/yr, which equated to a century average of 1.4 cubic kilometers produced since 1890; a 10% increase on the background rate. Iceland is home to several active volcanoes that exist underneath the ice, including Gjàlp, home of the last big eruption in 1996, and 58 years earlier in 1938. But according to Pagli and Sigmundsson the extra magma produced over the past century and more could reduce that time down to a gap of 30 years between each eruption.  Vatnajökull is somewhat unique in terms of its location, and is not necessarily an indicator for the rest of the world. Vatnajökull sits atop a boundary between tectonic plates, and as a result allows the release in pressure to have a much greater effect deep within the mantle. But the thinning of ice over volcanic areas will have another effect, one which is more widespread. As the amount of weight on top of the crust diminishes – or at the very least changes – subsequent geological stresses will also change and increase the chance of eruptions. “Under the ice’s weight, the crust bends and as you melt the ice the crust will bounce up again,” explains Bill McGuire of University College London in the UK, who was not involved in the study.
Giant Underwater Volcano Discovered in Iceland: Volcanologist Ármann Höskuldsson from the University of Iceland and a team of scientists recently discovered a giant volcano off Reykjanes peninsula, southwest Iceland, almost as as large as the peninsula itself, and expect it to erupt at any time.  In the center of the volcano there is a caldera measuring ten kilometers in diameter.  “People shouldn’t be surprised if there would be an extensive volcanic eruption underwater there soon. Nothing has happened for hundreds of years and it is in fact only a matter of time before there will be an eruption,” Höskuldsson told DV.  Since the volcano is at a depth of 1,500 meters eruptions would not have any effect on Iceland, except perhaps causing earthquakes.  The volcano’s discovery is considered significant because geographers believed it couldn’t exist in that area. “Such large volcanoes are not located on oceanic ridges. They are always drifting apart and that prevents a volcano from being created. This is why the volcano’s existence came as a surprise,” Höskuldsson said.  In summer, Höskuldsson and his team will present the conclusions of their studies at the annual conference of the International Association of Volcanologists, which will be held in Iceland. Nine hundred people have already registered for the conference.  In summer 2009 they plan use a small submarine to undertake more detailed research of the underwater volcano.  
INDONESIA - Mount Ibu in the eastern Indonesian province of North Maluku spewed thick smoke up to 500 meters into the sky in the past few days. "Earthquakes continue to occur at and around the volcano. On average there are 40 earthquakes per day." The volcanic activity is not considered dangerous and no residents have evacuated. There are 6 villages located on the volcano's slope. Mount Ibu began showing signs of increased activity in mid-March.
COLUMBIA - Nevado del Huila volcano has erupted in a shower of hot ash, prompting authorities to evacuate thousands of people and declare a state of alert. There were no reports of damage or injuries. The volcano, about 180 miles southwest of Bogota in the northern Andes, erupted at 11:08 p.m. Monday (0008 Eastern Tuesday). Authorities were unable to estimate the size of the eruption. The eruption amounted to a "Level Red" - the most severe designation for volcanoes - but darkness made it difficult to gauge precisely what had happened. The volcano was expelling ash. "Other types of material could come, like lava, but we don't at the moment know the exact situation." Between 13,000 and 15,000 people who live near the volcano were being evacuated. Authorities warned of possible avalanches and urged local officials to monitor the volume of rivers near the volcano. The volcano stood silent for more than 400 years, releasing only columns of steam, until an eruption last year which caused damaging mud flows.
INDONESIA - MOUNT EGON - Hundreds of Indonesians have fled their homes after a volcano erupted spewing ash and smoke thousands of meters into the air. Breathing masks and clean water have been rushed to the eastern island of Flores where Mount Egon erupted late yesterday. 600 people from a village near the crater have been evacuated. "There are more than 23,000 people in three subdistricts within the danger zone. Initial contacts with the heads of the subdistricts said that many people panicked yesterday evening because the eruption was preceded by earthquakes. But there are no figures available yet (on numbers of evacuated)." Authorities were thrown into confusion by the eruption, which came about 10.15pm. Magma coming into contact with water triggered the eruption.
INDONESIA - MOUNT PAPANDAYAN - authorities raised the alert level on the volcano near the country's third largest city. "Since April 16, we have upgraded the alert level of (Mount) Papandayan to 'vigilance' (level two)," a statement on the Volcanology office's website said. The alert level for the mountain, near the city of Bandung, is now two rungs below that for an impending eruption. Bandung city has a population of three million, while the greater Bandung area is home to about 4.5 million. The mountain had not shown visual signs of activity but measuring equipment indicated an increased frequency of shallow volcanic quakes. Magma in the crater was also increasing steadily. Authorities are monitoring a possible formation of dikes following the collapse of the river banks in the upper reaches near the crater, which is a potential source of flash floods like those which occurred in 2002. Besides Mt Papandayan, 13 other mountains are also currently being intensively monitored. Mt. Egon (alert/ level III) currently has the highest alert level of the 13. Other mountains with an alert status (level II) are Gunung Anak Papandayan, Lokon, Talang, Kelud, Soputan, Karangetang, Kerinci, Gamkonora, Semeru, Duukono, Ibu and Gunung Bromo. 
 
March - Volcanoes 2008:  NEW GUINEA - Thermal activity at the Bagiai cone on Karkar Island in Madang is still continuing and is a concern. Thermal activity from within the cone has caused the vegetation to die and turn brown. Withered and dry vegetation could be observed at Bagiai’s flanks. In the meantime, seismic activity in the form of volcanic earthquakes is continuing, but at low levels. Three portable seismic recorders were deployed close to the summit area on the outer caldera, 3.5 km from Bagiai. They recorded 15-20 volcanic earthquakes per day. “Generally, the seismic activity is at a low level and our team on the ground is keeping an eye on it."
INDONESIA - The Indonesian Energy and Mineral Source Ministry and the United States Geological Survey have agreed to establish cooperation in natural disaster monitoring, analysis, early warning and mitigation of volcanoes in North Sulawesi. Indonesia has the largest number of volcanoes in the world, namely 129 volcanoes, and 80 of them have the potential to erupt and cause disaster. Around 3.3 million people live around active volcano areas which could endanger their lives In North Sulawesi Province, about 460,000 people live and perform their activities in areas within a radius of 10 km from volcano`s eruption points. 11 volcanoes in North Sulawesi will be closely monitored. The volcanoes include: Mt. Ambang, Mt. Lokon, Mt. Tangkoko, and Mt. Klabat on northern Sulawesi Island, and Mt. Awu, Mt. Karangetang, Mt. Ruang, Mt. Submarine, and Mt. Banua Wuhu on Sangihe Talaud Islands.
HAWAII - In the 96-year-history of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, geologists have NEVER SEEN ANYTHING EXACTLY LIKE WHAT APPEARED IN THE VENT that broke open in Halemaumau Crater last week: sulfur that glows in the dark. Scientists plowed through old records of sulphur vents (solfataras) at Kilauea going back to the founding of the observatory in 1912. If previous observers ever saw them glow, they did not mention it. What does it mean? Not an eruption. The right signs are not there. But beyond that, the scientists just are not sure. Instruments are recording tremors, jiggling of the ground, but it is disorderly. An eruption would show harmonic tremors. That is the orderly "sound" of lava moving through a tube.
Ancient Global Dimming Linked to Volcanic Eruption - A "dry fog" that muted the sun's rays in A.D. 536 and plunged half the world into a famine-inducing chill was triggered by the eruption of a supervolcano, a new study says. The cause of the sixth-century global dimming has long been a matter of debate, but a team of international researchers recently discovered acidic sulphate molecules, which are signs of an eruption, in Greenland ice. This is the first physical evidence for the A.D. 536 event, which according to ancient texts from Mesoamerica, Europe, and Asia brought on a cold darkness that withered crops, sparked wars, and helped spread pestilence. The team suspects the eruption occurred near the Equator, since its ash fell on both ends of the globe. The Greenland evidence is also consistent with tree-ring data from around the Northern Hemisphere that show reduced growth rates lasting more than a decade starting in A.D. 536. Curiously, the eruption's cooling effect did not extend to the southern hemisphere. Together, the tree-ring and acid evidence suggest the sixth-century eruption was even bigger than Indonesia's Mount Tambora eruption of 1815, which also dimmed the sun. According to written records, the dry fog lingered for just over a year — leaving an indelible mark on human history. Chinese historians recorded famine events and summer frosts for years after the event. If a similar volcanic eruption were to occur today, the effects could be just as devastating, experts say. The reduced sunlight and ashfall would affect agriculture worldwide, and the thick veil of dust and ash could cripple transportation and communication systems. "Most aircraft cannot fly in [volcanic] dust clouds. And these dust clouds have a large electrostatic potential that disrupts radio communication."
Geologists have been analyzing the steam and gas plume that’s been gushing from Halemaumau crater at the summit of Kilauea since March 11th. They've found something they didn’t expect: the H2O in their test tubes is not from ground water. It's been released from the molten subterranean magma itself. They’re calling it “juvenile water,” and its NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. 
RUSSIA- Volcanoes of Kamchatka Awake - Koryaksky and Avachinsky volcanoes, located 25 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka, have become more active. Specialists of the Geophysical Service detected the highest activity on March 25. Over 60 separate seismic shocks were registered by the devices in the volcanic area. Visual observation is complicated in view of weather conditions. A veil of clouds hides tops of the volcanoes. The last eruption of a volcano from the group of the Kamchatka “home” volcanoes – Avachinsky – occurred in 1991. As all three volcanoes are seen within a distance of 100 km, the eruption could be seen by dwellers of Petropavlovsk and closely located towns.
NEW ZEALAND - volcano erupting - under water. You wouldn't know it but a large volcano eruption is taking place in New Zealand. It's not visible because Monowai is completely underwater - north of the Kermadec Islands, and is about 1500 meters deep. Its conical cone reaches to just 120 meters below the surface of the Pacific. They recorded a "big acoustic event on February 8". It was strong "but not a monster". Monowai is in an eruptive phase but it is difficult to say whether the event was a strong eruption. Monowai has erupted regularly over the years. In May 2002 the volcano itself collapsed creating an "explosive interaction and cooling of hot magma and volcaniclastic rubble with ambient seawater". Monowai is similar to Mount St Helen's in the United States which collapsed and then rebuilt itself over time. The latest activity has gone unnoticed on the surface as its location is off the main shipping routes. In previous years Royal New Zealand Air Force over flights have spotted large sulphur slicks. What was thought to be a shoal of fish was first reported in the area in 1944 but it was not until 1977 that it was recognized as a volcano.
 
February - Volcanoes 2008:   ECUADOR - Tungurahua volcano shot columns of ash miles into the air as officials ordered 3,000 villagers living near its slopes to evacuate. A state of emergency already in place will be extended for 60 days. Experts at the Geophysics Institute warned that the intense activity shows no sign of slowing down, and compared it to the massive 2006 Tungurahua eruptions that buried entire villages. "The volcano has entered a new explosive eruption cycle, a process which does not seem to be slowing down." Ash billowing from Tungurahua has already covered thousands of acres of farmland, destroying property, crops and livestock.
ALASKA - Cleveland Volcano on the Aleutian arc began erupting Friday evening, spewing a plume of ash about 20,000 feet high. Short-lived explosions of ash exceeding 20,000 feet could occur without warning, the Alaska Volcano Observatory said. The observatory has upgraded the alert and aviation levels to their second-highest ratings, indicating the volcano poses a limited threat to aviation and nearby communities. Clouds in the area have prevented the observatory from determining whether the plume has separated from the volcano. There is no real-time seismic equipment in the area. The volcano has been fairly active in recent years, with one eruption in 2007 and four in 2006.
HAWAII - The Kilauea eruption is creating a hazard on state land, forcing its closure to visitors. The public will be banned from the current site of the Kilauea eruption on state land next to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park until July 25, 2009. The board voted to keep the Kahaualea Natural Area Reserve closed because of safety concerns over flowing lava and toxic fumes generated by the eruption. At this time, "there is no clear trend to suggest that the magma supply is decreasing significantly." The lava flows erupting near the vents are full of gas and form pahoehoe flows that are treacherous to walk on and can lead to deep cuts on the legs and arms or broken ankles if one falls. Because there are two active vents, it is difficult to predict the direction of the lava flow from one day to the next. Officials also said downwind exposure from sulfur dioxide fumes can be hazardous, especially for those with breathing problems.
HAWAII - Sulphur dioxide emissions at the summit of Kilauea volcano were more than more than 1,000 tons/day yesterday. This is the SECOND HIGHEST EMISSION RATE SINCE REGULAR MEASUREMENTS WERE STARTED IN 1979 at Kilauea summit. The National Park Service has closed all pullouts and parking areas in the south caldera due to hazardous gas emissions. Seismic tremor levels are elevated at Kilauea summit. Two small earthquakes were located beneath the summit area and on south flank faults.
MEXICO- Popocatepetl volcano in central Mexico was very active Thursday and three times spewed ash into the air in 3- kilometer-high columns. The volcano, which can be seen from Mexico City, had 44 bouts of low to moderate activity between midday Wednesday and Thursday morning. Some of the events also involved minor tremors. After each bout "the volcano's activity returned to the previous level." Despite recent activity, the authorities kept the security ring around the volcano at its usual distance of 12 kilometers.
CHILE - Llaima, one of South America's most active volcanoes, belched ash and a nearly mile-long river of lava crept down its slopes on Wednesday as geologists warned activity could intensify. Columns of ash and smoke rose from the crater, some of them as high as 16,400 feet (5,000 meters) above the volcano. Llaima's volcanic activity in the past month has drawn some tourists, but it is mostly making nearby residents nervous and scaring away vacationers.
PHILIPPINES - The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in Canlaon City has monitored the INCREASING ABNORMALITY of Kanlaon volcano. Three volcanic quakes were recorded within 24 hours. Continuous eruption of clouds and fogs were also monitored. Contrary to reports that Philvolcs has lifted the alert status on Kanlaon volcano as its activity has returned to normal, it's slightly elevated unrest could possibly lead to steam ash ejections. There is still no recommendation for possible evacuation of residents outside the four-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone.
MICRONESIA - residents are complaining of a foul smell in the air with hazy skies throughout Thursday evening. The conditions are being caused by low concentrations of sulfur gas as a result of a gas and steam plume being emitted by the Anatahan volcano, affecting most of the Micronesia region. Northerly wind gusts have carried the smell and haze to Guam and the Marianas. A Volcanic Haze and Sulfur Advisory has been issued for Saipan and Tinian; Rota and Guam are not impacted so severely as to call for an advisory at this time. The smell is projected to persist until sometime this afternoon.
 
January - Volcanoes 2008:  PAPUA NEW GUINEA- BAGIAI - The Rabaul Volcano Observatory is preparing to send two of its seismologists to monitor the increased activity at the Bagiai cone on Karkar Island in Madang. The Bagiai cone, situated in the inner caldera, continues to release thin to moderate white vapor. The white vapor is visible from the mainland. Communities in the vicinity have been hearing occasional roaring noises associated with gas emission. Three portable seismic recorders deployed on the northwest, southwest and east of the island for three days indicated increase in thermal activity. Results also indicated a total of 30 high frequency earthquakes recorded during the three days. High frequency earthquakes were occurring as a result of rock-breaking due to movement of magma beneath the volcano. The overall seismicity on the island is still at low level. Vegetation on the south-east flank has withered completely. The last eruption at Karkar was in 1979.
Yellowstone Super-Volcano Hit with 3.7 Quake:  Yellowstone National Park - A magnitude 3.7 earthquake was recorded in northwestern Yellowstone National Park Wednesday. The Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology says there were no immediate reports of damage.
Villagers Flee As Major Eruption Begins: Updated: 08:50, Thursday January 10, 2008; Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano has begun erupting and is poised for a major explosion, a volcanologist has said. The 16,575-foot volcano, 80 miles southeast of the capital Quito, has started to send shafts of molten lava into the sky after a fortnight of spitting ash. Patricia Mothes, a US expert on volcanoes, said Tungurahua "is preparing to generate, in days or weeks, a great eruption." she said that could mean pyroclastic flows -- blasts of volcanic material "that descend at high speeds and burn everything in their way."
INDONESIA - Mt. Kelud is demonstrating a new natural phenomenon in its history. On Nov. 2, 2007, at around 16:00 hours, countless shallow and deep volcanic tremors occurred. Over 500 quakes have been recorded since the volcano was placed on full alert status on Oct. 16, 2007. As the hours passed, Kelud's summit remained relatively calm. On Nov. 29, the volcano's alert status was lowered again. "No other volcano in Indonesia has ever 'survived' such (a series of) quakes. Mt. Kelud should have exploded." Mt. Kelud has erupted 30 times since 1311, the latest taking place in 1990. The volcano is now in the phase of developing a lava dome. The dome has continued to expand at 8 square meters per second, and now measures 130 meters in diameter, with an area of 700,000 sq m. At present, the lake is 38 m deep with a water volume of 2.5 million cubic meters. Once, the lake was reportedly more than 600 m deep with a capacity of 40 million cu m. Kelud's new dome and recent emissions with accompanying tremors and smoke pillar - up to 120 m high - should be taken with extreme caution, as they could be signs of a devastating explosion like that in 1919. "In theory, this volcano is on the verge of erupting. The higher and more massive the dome, the greater its blast impact."
BURMA- a mud volcano, known as Sai Chung volcano, located on the Sai Chung Island east of Kyawk Phyu town in the Arakan state of western Burma erupted on Saturday, January 5th, at about 11:45 a.m (local time) sending rocks, tongues of fire, lava and smoke up into the air and prompting residents to flee their homes. "Till today the lava is still overflowing. And fearing that there might be more eruption, local villagers are fleeing from the village. Many fled to Sai Kathein, and Sittaw villages and some even fled up to Kyawk Phyu town." There were no human casualties. The eruption of the mud-volcano sent fire flashes, ashes, and lava up to 300 meters into the air. The whole mountain is covered with lava and ashes.
WASHINGTON - Small quake reported at Mount St. Helens - Steam seeping from a fracture atop the lava dome in Mount St. Helens' crater and the mountain's first noteworthy seismic activity since 2004 have caught scientists' attention this week as signs that something is moving inside it. While the likelihood of a major eruption seemed low, scientists have quit venturing into the volcano's crater and are checking the monitoring equipment along St. Helens' flanks. "We're just being cautious. It's not that we're anticipating any activity." A magnitude-2.9 earthquake was followed by a small tremor that lasted nearly an hour and a half, an UNUSUALLY long period, punctuated by a second quake of magnitude 2.7 — all in the same period in which the steam was visible. Tiltmeters also registered alternate ground swelling and deflation near the lava dome, which has been growing in the crater since fall 2004. All are typical signs that magma, superheated gases or both are moving through conduits beneath St. Helens The precise cause of the recent activity was not entirely clear. "The settling of the growing lava dome might have caused some fracturing and might have changed the subsurface openings so that water was either being squeezed out of openings or opening new areas." The last noteworthy tremor at the volcano lasted 55 minutes on Oct. 2, 2004, and was much more powerful.
YEMEN- JABAL AL-TAIR - The Environmental Emergencies Department at Yemen’s Ministry of Water has warned that the volcano on Jabal al-Tair, a tiny island in the Red Sea close to the Yemeni coast, might cause environmental damage to nearby areas. The warning comes after continuous volcanic eruptions on the island since December 2007. Emissions - mainly sulphur dioxide 2 (SO2) and 3 (SO3) - from the volcano could lead to acid rain. "If the wind takes such emissions to nearby areas, the acid rain will destroy agricultural fields and cause water pollution." The threatened areas include Tehama, a huge agricultural region in the western province of al-Hudeidah, about 70km from the island. The volcano has not cooled since it erupted on 30 September 2007. Serious eruptions, accompanied by lava flows, occurred again on 3 December and geologists say the eruptions could continue for a long time. A military garrison on Lesser Hunaish Island, close to Jabal al-Tair, has not been allowed to return after it was evacuated on 3 December. There are no facilities or resources on the Red Sea islands which could be used to deal with natural disasters, just as there is no institutional authority to deal with natural disasters in al-Hudeidah Province. "Volcanic gases are rising from the southern part of the island. If they hit the sea, marine life may be threatened." There are 151 Yemeni islands in the Red Sea, of which around 18 lie in the volcanically active part of the sea-bed between the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.
INDONESIA- ANAK KRAKATAU - The red hot glowing rocks spewed by Mt Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait, Lampung province, on Sunday at 8:30 p.m have reached an altitude of up to 2.5 km, posing a potential threat to fishermen or other people getting close to the volcano. It could be clearly seen from Sertung and Rakata islands that each of the eruptions had a deafening sound and smoke bellowing to 2,000 meters high. The temperature of the red hot rocks hurled by the volcano may reach as high as 1,500 degrees centigrade, and would cause immediate death to those hit by them. The volcanic tremors of the volcano still continue with shortest intervals of 3 to 6 minutes, and the longest 10 to 16 minutes apart. In the last three days, the frequency of the volcanic tremors of Anak Krakatau reached 700 to 900 times per day, while the earlier frequency was only 600 times per day. Monday 28th January 2008
Anatahan Volcano, Mariana Islands: Since 23rd January 2008 there have been periods of elevated tremor lasting for several hours at Anatahan volcano. Satellite images show low level sulphur dioxide emissions. Anatahan is still unsafe for habitation. Travel to the island remains restricted, except for scientific study. Emergency declaration for Anatahan has been in place since the first recorded volcanic activity in May 2003.
QUITO, (Xinhua) -- Volcano Tungurahua in central Ecuador has remained highly active in more than three weeks after it first began showering the nearby region with ash, the National Polytechnic's Geophysics Institute said in a statement Monday.   "The volcano's activity has not really seen major changes. It continues to be high, characterized by constant gas and ash emission, and the number of the explosions persists," said Santiago Arellano, from the Guadalupe monitoring station. He said the mountain was also roaring, something which had attracted tourists rather than scaring them away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory, will be clothed in white apparel, garment and clothes and I will not, by no means, nor never blot out, wipe away, smear out or obliterate the ones name out of place or time from the Book or Scroll of Writing of Life, but I will confess and acknowledge the ones name before My Father and before His angels.

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

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

The Marriage of the Lamb

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

His Name is called: The Word of God

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

King of Kings and Lord of Lords     

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

The 1,000 Year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ

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

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

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

The Great White Throne Judgment

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

The New Heaven and the New Earth

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

The Heavenly City – the Home of the Faithful

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

The Throne of God

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

Behold I Am Coming Quickly

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

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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