Jews. [23] But the hour cometh,

things;

brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] Being made so much
better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they. [5] For unto which of the angels said he at any time,
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a
Father, and he shall be to me a Son? [6] And again, when he bringeth in
the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship
him.

created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and
the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands; [12] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and
glory, and blessing. [13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on
the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in
them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him
that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. [14]

ever. Amen.

Revelation

glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,

of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou
King of saints. [4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy
name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship
before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Revelation 19: [4] And the four and
twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat
on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. [5] And a voice came out of the
throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both
small and great. [6] And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude,
and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. [7] Let us be
glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted that
she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints. [9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto
me, These are the true sayings of God. [10] And I fell at his feet to
worship him.
Revelation 20: [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had
not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.
Revelation 22: [8] And I John saw these things, and
heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet

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 2009:. SOUFRIERE HILLS Montserrat. MVO reported that during 27 November-4 December activity from the Soufrière Hills lava dome continued at a high level. Pyroclastic flow activity was concentrated to the NE and W. The Hazard Level remained at3.Pyroclastic flows also traveled W down Gages Valley, S down the White River valley and Gingoes Ghaut, and into the upper reaches of Tyers Ghaut (NW). One descended the Tar River valley to the E. Rockfalls cascaded directly from the summit of the
dome into Tyers Ghaut.
RABAUL New Britain reported dense white plumes and gray ashplumes rose from Rabaul caldera's Tavurvur cone. Strong explosionsproduced ash plumes that rose 1.5 km above the summit and showered theflanks with lavafragments that were incandescent at night. Shock waves rattled windowsin the Kokopo area, about 20 km SE. Incandescence from the summitcrater was occasionally noted. During 2-4 December, ash fell in Rabaultown and other cities.
Philippines - Authorities moved more than twentythousand villagers from harm's way near the Philippines'most active volcano Tuesday after it oozed lava and shot plumes of ash,and said they probably would spend ableak Christmas in an evacuation center. State volcanologists raisedthe alert level on the Mayon volcano overnightto two steps below a major eruption after ash explosions and darkorange lava fragments glowing in the darktrickled down the mountain slope.Nearly 50,000 people live in a five-mile (eight-kilometer) radiusaround the mountain. 'Powerful booms' signal Mayon eruptionthreat, say scientists. Several thousand villagers in thefiring line of the Philippines' rumbling Mt Mayon volcano risk forcibleevacuation unless they leave the danger zone,officials have warned.Scientists say the powerful booms emanating from the volcano were anindication that a massive eruption may beimminent.The eerie glow of crimson lava could be seen oozing from the volcanoovernight and relief officials said farmers andother residents who have refused to evacuate also faced the danger ofvolcanic ash flow."We will personally remove the residents who refuse to evacuate totheir designated evacuation centres."Roughly 1300 families were still in their homes within aneight-kilometre danger zone declared around Mayon.About 8600 families have already taken shelter in government centresbeyond the zone mandated around thevolcano.Scientists underlined the growing threat of ash and lava cascading downMayon's slopes owing to the increasingfrequency of booms from inside the volcano, audible as far as 12kmaway.
November - Volcanoes 2009: PHILIPPINES -Mayon Volcano spewed ash anewthis morning, indicating fresh sign ofheightened restiveness that couldresult in a major eruption, a month and 13days after its first ashexplosion episode last September 15. The eventprompted authorities toissue a new 24-hour alert to residents of communitiessurrounding thevolcano. Residents living near the slopes claimed hearing whatthey saidwas a "thud" followed by a display of whitishcauliflower-like plumeabove the crater. For the past 24-hour observationperiod, the seismicnetwork recorded 13 volcanic earthquakes.
COLUMBIA - GALERAS & HUILA -Officials in southern Colombia have issued a code orange alert forthenewly-active Galeras volcano which they said could erupt in a matterof days orweeks. Authorities said they are continuing to monitor thenearby Huilavolcano, also on orange alert, where sizeable volcanicactivity also has beendetected in recent weeks. Huila last erupted inNovember 2008, killing 10people. The Galeras volcano situated near thesouthern border with Ecuador isColombia's most active volcano, withfive eruptions over the past two years. Itbegan rumbling back to lifeon October 27. Some 7,000 people live in thevicinity of the volcano. A1993 eruption of Galeras killed nine people,including six scientistswho had descended its crater to take gas samples.
KENYA -Surface deformation of 4 active volcanoes underscore possibilityforhuman hazard, potential of geothermal resources. "The KenyanRiftvolcanoes are part of a larger Great Rift Valley complex thatextends all theway from Mozambique to Djibouti; their presence in EastAfrica attests to thepresence of magma reservoirs within the Earth'scrust. Our study detected signsof activity in only four of the 11volcanoes in the area -- Suswa, Menengai,Longonot and Paka -- allwithin the borders of Kenya." Small surfacedisplacements, which are notvisible to the naked eye, were captured usingInSAR, a sophisticatedsatellite-based radar technique. From 1997 – 2000 they discoveredthatthe volcanoes at Suswa and Menengai subsided 2 – 5 cm, and between2004and 2006 the Longonot volcano experienced uplift of ~9 cm. However,the mostdramatic uplift unfolded at Paka, which had uplift of ~21 cmduring a ninemonth period in 2006-2007. This pulse of activity waspreceded by transientuplift and subsidence at a second source,associated with the magma flowthrough the complex underground plumbingsystem. Overall, the events were shortin duration and episodic ratherthan continuous, which means discrete pulses ofmagma were arriving atthe crust, similar to a stop valve that is being turnedon and offintermittently. "The fact that these areas are so close to amajormetropolitan area pose a challenge in terms of a large volcanicorseismic event." Suswa, Menengai and Longonot are all located indenselypopulated areas within 100 km of Nairoibi.
JAPAN - Thevolcano island Sakurajima has had about 400 explosive eruptions sofarthis year, THE MOST IN 24 YEARS. A local observatory warned Fridaythatactivity might pick up. The minor explosive eruptions reached the400 thresholdThursday nigh. One expert said the recent activity issimilar to what happenedjust before a major eruption in 1946. "It's inthe middle of a stage whereactivity is picking up and the frequency oferuptions is likely to grow nextyear and thereafter. It's possible aneruption of similar scale to the (1946)event could happen within a fewyears." In general, lava from an eruptionwould not pose great danger toresidents because it's sticky and its flow speedis "extremely slow."But if a pyroclastic flow follows a river or ifbig rocks hitresidential areas, the damage could be serious.
BALI- Mt Baturactivity on alert. The status of Mt Batur in Kintamani, Bali,has beenraised from active-normal to alert due to its increasing activity."Thishappens because the volcano that last erupted in 2000 has shownanincreasing activity, as seen by the black smoke coming out of themountainseveral times." Under a normal condition tremor happens onlyfive times aday but now it reaches 60 times a day and it is felt bypeople living within aradius of one to two kilometers from themountain. "From 1804 to 2000 themountain has erupted 28 times with alapse of one to 39 years." Themountain`s eruption is generally effusiveand strombolian with lava and ash orrocks flowing 100 meter around thebrim of the crater. Smoke from the mountaincould rise up to 300 meterhigh above the crater. "Those are all the characteristicsof Mt Baturwhen it erupts." The tremor itself has been recordedincreasing to 21times of vulcanic tremor with a maximum amplitude of 1-12 MMsinceSeptember. A total of 28 tremors have been recorded in October.OnOctober 8 a total of five deep and 53 shallow vulcanic tremors wererecorded. Atotal of 12 tremors meanwhile were recorded from November 1to 7.
PHILIPPINES - Afterspewing ash at least thrice last Wednesday, Mayon Volcano emittedacrater glow that grew more intense and was visible as far as 15kilometersaway Saturday night. Mayon’s surface remains inflated despitethe series of ashor phreatic explosions. “This means that magmaticpressure inside the volcanois sustained. But all these activities arestill within alert level 2.” Atleast eight tremors were recorded in thepast 24 hours, while the volcano’ssulfur dioxide emission was measuredat 514 tons, above the normal volume of500 tons per day. At least 700families have been evacuated and provided reliefaid. Residents within aradius of six to seven kilometers from Mayon’s craterhave been readiedfor evacuation should the situation worsen.
COLUMBIA -authorities again issued a red alert in the area affected by theGalerasvolcano, in the southwestern province of Nariño, after a neweruption Fridaynight that claimed no victims. "The level of volcanicactivity at Galerashas changed to the red level,” which means that aneruption is imminent or inprogress. For several days an order has beenin effect to evacuate the ruralarea.
VANUATU - More than300 villagers have been evacuated in the Pacific nation ofVanuatu afteran erupting volcano started spewing smoke and ash onto theirhomes.Residents were loaded onto fishing boats and shipped to the far sideofGaua island after the volcano, which has been rumbling for the pasttwo months,started erupting on Thursday. "They're evacuating people tothe other sideof the island. The volcano was throwing ash in the placethey live."
MONTSERRAT - Lightash has fallen over the capital of Montserrat after theCaribbeanisland's temperamental volcano hurled another round of hot rocksandgases. A small pyroclastic flow nearly reached the ocean asSoufriere Hillsshed part of its old dome this week. Friday that ashfell on parts of Olvestonand Old Town. Tremors also shook the volcanoas it began emitting lava closerto the summit. Soufriere Hills has shotseveral plumes of ash in recent months.
PHILIPPINES -Mayon Volcano rumbled and spewed ash a kilometer into the airWednesdaymorning but the Philippine Institute of Volcanology andSeismology (Phivolcs)said there is no need to raise the alert level.However, Phivolcs advisedcommunities near the restive volcano inLegazpi City, Albay, to be prepared toevacuate when needed. It was THEFIRST TIME THAT RUMBLING SOUNDS WERE HEARDfrom Mayon as it spewed ash.“There were two other explosions last Sept. 15 andOct. 28 but thesewere not accompanied by rumbling. But the rumbling sound iscommon foran ABNORMAL volcano." Mayon’s latest activities were morepowerful thanearlier explosions but these still fall within Alert Level 2.AlertLevel 3 is only raised when a volcano shows “an increasedtendencytowards eruption, with relatively high unrest." Phivolcs saidthatincandescent rock fragments at the upper slope were observed. “Ashcolumn was notobserved due to cloud cover. Field investigationconducted after the eventshowed ash fall drifted towards the southwestquadrant of the volcano due tothe prevailing northeast monsoon."Phivolcs said it also recorded 20volcanic earthquakes for the past 24hours. Mt. Mayon which has been on AlertLevel 2 status since July thisyear. Meanwhile, a tectonic earthquake measuring4.8 in the Richterscale shook Agusan del Norte early morning Wednesday with noreports ofinjury or damage as a result of the quake.
RUSSIA - A lava flowhas started to come down the slope of Eurasia's highestvolcano, theKlyuchevskoy, on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's Far East.TheKlyuchevskoy, which lies 220 miles north ofPetropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, is one ofthe largest active volcanoes in theworld and reaches an altitude of 15,584feet. It erupts about every 2years. "A small flow of lava has startedtrickling down thesouth-eastern slope of the Klyuchevskoy after magma hasfilled itscrater to the brink." The volcano continued to throw red-hotrocks to aheight of 200 meters (over 650 feet). The Klyuchevskoy started anewactive cycle with an eruption on February 15, 2007. The currenteruptionstarted in August after several months of relevant inactivity.Unlike manyothers, it started slow, but its intensity is rapidlygrowing. Seismologicalstations near the Klyuchevskoy register hundredsof small tremors in the areaevery day. The volcano is dangerous only totourists at this point, althoughlava flows and high-altitude ashemissions could soon threaten air traffic inthe region. There are morethan 150 volcanoes on Kamchatka, 29 of them active.
October - Volcanoes 2009:PHILIPPINES- Atleast 35 volcanic earthquakes jolted Mayon Volcano on Thursday andFriday, the highest recorded seismic event since July when the volcanostarted showing signs of restiveness. The seismic network has recordeda total of 82 earthquakes since Sept. 27. Scientists monitoring thevolcano do not discount the possibility of an explosive eruptionbecause of the fluctuating indicators,such as quakes, ground swelling,gas emissions and crater glow. Precise leveling result indicated a 6-mmswelling on the volcano’s ground surface, with bulging noted at theBuang, Tabaco City, side of the mountain. The volcano's crater glow wasobscured by the prevailing bad weather in Albay. Alert level 2remainedhoisted over Mayon Volcano.
ALASKA - Geologistsare on alert after the Cleveland Volcano spewed an ash plume up to20,000 feet. The volcano on Alaska's Aleutians Islands erupted lateFriday, prompting the observatory to raise the mountain's threat levelto code orange. Satellite views showed the ash cloud drift northeastabout 375 miles and disperse over the Bering Sea.Cleveland is about 940miles southwest of Anchorage, on a remote and uninhabited island. Thevolcano's last significant eruption began in February2001 andeventually produced a lava flow that reached the ocean. Ash emissionsfrom Cleveland were most recently seen in June.
VANUATU - Communities on the Vanuatu island ofGaua are worried about the volcano in its centre. For the Gaua volcanohas shown signs of increased seismic activity,generating sulphurous gasand ash into the atmosphere and affecting water supplies. The volcano'salert level has now been set at one, nowhere near the highest (levelfive), but still a worry for the two thousand people who call theremote island home.
RUSSIA - The Klyuchevskoy volcano on Russia'sKamchatka Peninsula is showing signs of coming to life, throwing outred-hot rocks, seismologists say. The volcano, located 220 miles northof the city Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Russia's Far East, erupts aboutonce every two years. "At present, the Klyuchevskoy spews out magma toa height of (330 feet) with 1- to 6-minute intervals. This eruption,(which started on Oct. 3), unlike many others,started slow, but itsintensity is rapidly growing." While only tourists who venture tooclose to the volcano are threatened at this point, if the eruptionscontinue to build, high altitude ash emissions may affect air travel inthe region.
MONTSERRAT - New ash spewed twice from theMontserrat volcano Monday morning, leaving parts of the island coveredin dust. The volcano on the Caribbean island shot a plume of ash morethan two miles (three kilometers)into the sky.
VANUATU - A volcano in Vanuatu is showing signs ofincreased activity. A team of volcanic experts have arrived at the Gauavolcano and are collecting data to determine whether it will erupt. Thelocal population has not yet been advised to evacuate until the alertlevel reaches level three. It is currently at level one, however localssay they are experiencing increased ash fall and minor earth quakes.
Possible volcanic eruptions in Sumatra -Earthquakes and volcanic eruption go hand-in-hand in the Indonesianisland of Sumatra, so it is wise to keep a close watch on therecurrance of quakes and following developments in the region, says asenior volcanologist. There are more than 200 volcano lines along theSumatra fault running parallel to the subduction zone. During March2007earthquake, the Talang volcano showed increased volcanic activitythrowing ash plumes. The current series of seismic activities are linedover the active Sumatra fault close to three active volcanoes --Marapi, Talang and Tandikat.
PHILIPPINES - State volcanologists on Mondayobserved a nearly 350-ton increase in thesulfur dioxide emission rateof Mayon Volcano in Albay province in the Bicolregion. The volcanoemitted 853 tons of SO2 in the past 24 hours. Phivolcsrecorded only 505tons last October 10; 761 tons last October 8, and 350 tonslast October7. While the volcano’s steaming activity remained moderate andwhile thecrater glow remained obscure, Phivolcs said that they detectedsevenvolcanic earthquakes during the past 24 hours – bringing to 43 thenumber ofvolcanic earthquakes recorded from October 5 to 11. MayonVolcano’s status,however, remained at Alert Level 2, which ischaracterized as "a state ofunrest which could lead to more ashexplosion or eventually to hazardousmagmatic eruption."
MONTSERRAT - Scientists in Montserrat have given anexplanation of recent activity atthe Soufriere Hills Volcano whicherupted on Sunday. The volcano sent ashspewing two miles into theatmosphere. The Montserrat Volcano Observatory saidthe recent activityis the result of a new lava dome growing near the volcano'ssummit."This has started producing small flows of fragments of hot rocksandash down the sides of the volcano on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, wehada switch in the direction of the activity ... it's now moving to thenorthwhich is important because people live at the end of the valleywhich drainswhere these pyroclastic flows are traveling so, we need tokeep a very closewatch on what's going on even though it's notescalating. We're getting regularhigh levels of volcanic activity about2 kilometers from the dome. People liveabout 6 kilometers away from thedome so, the pyroclastic flow would have to goa lot further for it tobegin to be a problem and for us to start thinkingabout evacuatingpeople."
HAWAII - Toxic Hawaiian volcano poses health risksto residents, crops. Kilauea,on the big island of Hawaii, is makingheadlines for vog - a mix of sulfurdioxide and other chemicals, whichwhen combined with sunlight and dust, formsa thick soupy haze similarto smog. Although the volcano has been spitting outvog for more thantwo decades now, a new vent that opened near the summit inMarch of 2008has made things, well — more "voggy." And it's givingsome people aheadache — literally and financially. In addition to causinghealthproblems like itchy and watery eyes and noses, vog is harmful fortheexotic plant industry. When the sulfur dioxide hits the moistureinside thebeloved protean flower, it turns to sulfuric acid, and burnsthe plant to acrisp. It has become a major problem for residents whomake their livinggrowing these exotic Hawaiian flowers. Health concernssurrounding the vog havepublic schools creating a separate airconditioned "safe" room for kidswho experience breathing problems ondays when the air is particularly thickwith the sulfur dioxide. Thetrade winds are blowing the vog towards Oahau.
VANUATU- Volcanologists in Vanuatu have raised thealert level of the Gaua volcanoin the far north. The level was upgradedto two, from one, last week aftervolcanologists measured a rise inseismic activity. The volcano is goingthrough an eruptive phase thatbegan on September 27. There’s no danger yet forthe residents, and thewater on the island is still safe to drink. The highestvolcano alertlevel is five. Rivers flowing down from the volcano may behazardousbecause of potential mud-slides. Residents are reporting ash isstillfalling onto their crops and the smell of sulphur is strong. Froma previousgas reading of nil, sulphur dioxide measured on October 3 was3,000 tonnes -"so for this small volcano this is huge". Two moderateearthquakeshit the South Pacific in quick succession on Monday. A 5.3magnitude tremor hit285 kilometers from Santo, in Vanuatu at 0735 GMT.It was followed minuteslater by a 5.5 magnitude quake 214 kilometersfrom Apia, in Samoa.
COLUMBIA - The Nevado del Huila volcano inColombia's south western department ofHuila has reawakened, initiallydischarging ash which is predominantlyaffecting the indigenouscommunities within the surrounding area. The towncouncil of Caucamunicipalities bordering Huila on Monday drew up a riskassessmentreport and ordered the suspension of school activities in the area."Wehave activated the contingency plan ... we have everything ready intheevent that we are told we must leave, and at that point wewillevacuate." There is a consistent tremor pulse coming from thevolcano andthe large expulsion of ash that occurred early Mondaymorning signals apotential impending eruption. The Nevado del Huilavolcano is Colombia'shighest volcano and had been dormant for 500 yearsuntil it resumed activity in2007. The volcano erupted again in November2008.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO- Mount Nyamulagiraerupted on Monday and lavahas been flowing away from the direction ofGoma, which was partially submergedwhen Mount Nyirangongo erupted in2002. "There was no loss of life and noimmediate threat to Goma becauseNyamulagira lies 32 kilometers to the northand has Mount Nyirangongoacting as a barrier against lava reaching the city."Despite the lack ofimmediate danger to Goma, the head of the United NationsOffice for theCo-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Goma said ifthere werebigger eruptions, the situation could be very different.
PHILIPPINES - Mayon Volcano spewed ash anew thismorning, indicating fresh sign ofheightened restiveness that couldresult in a major eruption, a month and 13days after its first ashexplosion episode last September 15. The eventprompted authorities toissue a new 24-hour alert to residents of communitiessurrounding thevolcano. Residents living near the slopes claimed hearing whatthey saidwas a "thud" followed by a display of whitishcauliflower-like plumeabove the crater. For the past 24-hour observationperiod, the seismicnetwork recorded 13 volcanic earthquakes.
September - Volcanoes 2009:Philippines: Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Occidental has shown a remarkable rise initsseismic activity for the last eight days. The Philippine Instituteof Volcanology and Seismology has recorded 257 volcanic earthquakes inMt. Kanlaon from August 23 to September 1. The seismic activity wasnotably higher than theusual levels that generally vary from 0 to 4events detected in 24 hours during quiet periods. The epicenters of thequakes were all located at the northwestslope of the volcano. Theoccurrence of these earthquakes might indicate movements of an activelocal fault at the slope of the volcano, which might beinduced bypressure beneath the volcano. However, the present volcanic activitydid not indicate significant change in the steam emission from thecrater, asits status was maintained at Alert Level 0. If the prevailingelevated level ofseismic activity continues together with othermonitored activities, Phivolcssaid the alert level status of thevolcano would be raised accordingly. Kanlaonvolcano has a history ofsudden steam-driven explosions without precursors.
Costa Rica: TurrialbaVolcano acting up. Scientists noticedsome changes to the landscape atTurrialba volcano during three recent visits.Researchers who toured thearea during the last two weeks of August reported that “yellow,straw-colored circles” covered approximately four squarekilometers oftrees. They said other plants appeared to have sustained wind damage.Investigators also discovered new crevices that are emitting plumesofsteam and sulfur. The cracks had expanded up to 12 centimeters inwidth andgases rose up to 300 meters. “These observations are moreintense than ones wehave noticed before, but it's nothing extremelydangerous." The treescould have been yellowed by the vapor the newcrevices are emitting or by thisyear's dry weather conditions.
Nicaragua: SanCristobal volcano, quiet for three years, has let off a seriesofexplosions, spewing gases and showering ash on nearby towns. Sunday’sblastsprompted officials to issue an alert for 25 districts near thevolcano. Thevolcano is near the Honduran border.
Indonesia: The Pagalaramcity government in South Sumatra, is anticipating thepossibility ofnatural disasters by preparing evacuation routes for residentsif MountDempo erupts. “We have already set up a regional disaster board."Basedon reports from mountain observers, the effect of an eruption atMountDempo could reach 9 kilometers away to the central, northern, andsouthernsides of Dempo. “So we are preparing safe zones that are 10kilometersaway."
Philippines: There hasagain been an increase in the activity of Mayon Volcano.Latest datasaid 6 volcanic quakes were recently recorded and theincreasedmagnitude of the quakes is a cause for alarm. 750 metric tonsof sulfur dioxideemissions were estimated from the volcano which washigher than the recent 200metric tons.
HAWAII- we may be seeing anew cycleof activity at Kilauea. The increase in magma supply observedsince late 2003,the Father’s Day intrusion, and new eruptive vents onthe east rift zone in2007 are distinctive markers of the transition,leading to the opening of thenew vent at the summit. Although featuresof each cycle may be similar, theexact accommodation the volcano makesto the changing conditions varies. Of thecurrent activity,“We’ve neverseen sustained simultaneous eruptions at thesummit and on the east riftzone [in the recorded past].” Just how the volcanois achievingequilibrium during these past two years of sustained summit andeastrift zone eruptions is still a subject of debate. [History has shownthatKilauea's lava can spout anywhere, anytime in the most dangerouszones.]
RUSSIA- Scientists say theeruption of a volcano on the sparselypopulated Kamchatka Peninsula hasprobably sent plumes of ash thousands ofmeters (feet) high and couldaffect aircrafts in the area. The Sheveluchvolcano erupted with "strongexplosions" on Thursday and increasedactivity persisted. The volcanowas obscured by clouds but ash plumes likelyrose as high as 15,000meters (50,000 feet). Late Friday the volcano had calmeddown somewhat.Kamchatka juts into the Pacific and is studded with activevolcanoes.Sheveluch has experienced several "paroxysmal explosiveeruptions" inthe past decade.
RUSSIA- Six volcanoes arecurrentlyerupting in Russia's remote Kamchatka region. That muchactivity was lastrecorded 55 years ago. Despite the obvious dangers,there is mixed reactionamong local people. "Some people are saying thatthis ash brings naturalmineral fertilizers. When we first came here thesnow was grey and everythingwas melting in spring time, fertilizing thesoil. Just take a look around andyou will see that the plants areflourishing at the bottom of thevolcano." Another villager sees thehealth hazards. "This volcano wasdangerous, we were breathing in thevolcanic ash and it was harmful to ourhealth but now the wind isblowing in the other direction." According tothe Deputy Director ofScience at the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Institute, thenumber oferuptions is increasing all over the world. "We have seen two,three, upto five volcanoes erupting simultaneously, but we have sixvolcanoeserupting this year and it is not just happening here, this isa globaltrend."
August - Volcanoes 2009: RUSSIA -The plume of steam, gas and ashthat Kamchatka’s Koryaksky Volcano hasshot into the air has stretched 210kilometres north-east of the volcanoand has reached Kronotsky Peninsula. Thereis no danger for the localpopulation. Koryaksky Volcano is situated 28kilometres fromPetropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Starting from August 13, ash hasappeared inits emissions of steam and gas. Specialists believe this happensbecausewater and melted snow have got into its “channels” in nasty weather.Thereis no increased activity and no signs of the start of an activeeruption areregistered as of yet. Registering equipment started sendingsignals of growingseismic tremors from the volcano in the night hoursof Sunday and they mighthave been caused by the admix of ash to the gasand vapors. Volcanic ash fellon Monday in the suburbs of regionalcentre Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. However,its amount is insignificantand poses no danger. Ash plumes can pose danger forplanes. Allconcerned services have been warned about it. Volcano’s activityhasbeen registered since the end of 2008. The previous period ofvolcano’sactivity was at the end of 1956 - the beginning of 1957, withno majoreruption. Powerful eruptions of Koryaksky Volcano happened3,500-7,000 yearsago, scientists believe.
RUSSIA- For the FIRST TIME IN 60YEARSsix Kamchatka volcanoes exhibit activity simultaneously. They areKoryaksky,Shiveluch, Bezimyanny, Gorely, Karymsky volcanoes andKlyuchevskaya SopkaVolcano. All of them are spouting steam and gasalmost simultaneously. Atpresent they are trying to figure out thereasons behind the increase ofactivity of the Kamchatka volcanoes.Experts assure that the volcanoes pose nohazard to life for the timebeing. But the gas and vapor releases do threatenaviation. For the timebeing only Shiveluch poses a threat. The volcanic ventis full-brimmedwith viscous lava. Scientists agree that Gorely volcano mightsoon eruptfor the first time in twenty-two years. Water temperature of thelakelocated on top of the volcanic mountain is rising, which may wellindicateoncoming eruption. The Gorely volcano is located 75 kmfromPetropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
PHILIPPINES -Restive MayonVolcano has recorded an increase in sulfur dioxideemission but this is nocause for alarm, according to the head of thePhilippine Institute ofVolcanology and Seismology. Sunday, the volcanoin Legaspi, Albay had 752 tonsper day sulfur dioxide emission - morethan double of its 362 tons/day emissionon August 21. Mt. Mayon onAugust 20 and 19 recorded just 248 tons/day and 210tons/day sulfurdioxide emission, respectively. “The increase in the sulfurdioxide isabove normal but not significant.” Thus, the evaluation of Mt. Mayonisstill at Alert Level 2 status (moderate unrest). Alert Level 2 means“astate of unrest which could lead to ash explosions or eventually tohazardousmagmatic eruption.” On the other hand, Mt. Mayon also recordedtwo volcanicearthquakes Sunday. Phivolcs had recorded 57 volcanicearthquakes from thevolcano from August 10 to 16. Mt. Mayon’s craterglow was at Intensity II andits steaming activity still remains atmoderate levels.
PHILIPPINES- The PhilippineInstitute ofVolcanology and Seismology on Friday recorded another surgein the activitiesof the Mayon volcano with 13 new volcanic earthquakesdetected by the seismicnetwork from its apparent lull early this week.There were a total of 68volcanic earthquakes from August 17 to 23recorded by the seismic network. OnFriday, sulfur dioxide emissionrecorded was as high as 615 tons per day, ahigh level compared to itsbaseline data of only 500 tons per day. Previousreadings were only 380tons per day last August 26 and 261 tons per day lastAugust 24. TheDefense Secretary after a briefing with the RegionalDisasterCoordinating Council, said he has already signed the requestedP1-million fundfor the purchase of emergency equipment. These itemswould prepare the farmersat Barangays Buyuan and Padang of Legazpi whomight be threatened by pyroclasticflow in case lava from the volcano’scrater collapses. Authorities areconducting rabies vaccination and massneutering of dogs owned by residentsliving along the slopes of MayonVolcano as a preemptive measure shouldfamilies be displaced byevacuation efforts once the alert level is raised.
July - Volcanoes 2009: - RUSSIA-The sudden eruption of a NEW GEYSER inRussia’s Far East has takenscientists by surprise, underlining thedistinctiveness of the remotebut threatened Kamchatka peninsula. The new geyser – dubbed “Prikolny”or “Peculiar” in English – has appeared in theKronotsky Nature Reserve,in Uzon Caldera, 14 kms away from the world-renowned Valley of Geysers.A reserve ranger was the first person to see the geyser – a column ofboiling liquid shooting three meters high. Research on the geyser’ssudden appearance is ongoing, although scientists already havepresented theories on its origin, including that serious changesaffecting the entireUzon thermal field caused its appearance, or thatit was created from rising waterlevels in the field’s spring.Currently, scientists are measuring the temperature of the water, theperiodicity of its cycle, its diameter, the depthof its undergroundstructure and its exact geographical position. “The geyser erupts every6 to 20 minutes, so is very convenient for observations.” ThePrikolnyGeyser is UNIQUE because it uses the same water over and overagain.Water from the five meter fountain gets back into the funnel andthen it"spits out" the same water again. There are four large geysersfields in the world: in Iceland, New Zealand, the US and Kamchatka. Thelast time anew geyser appeared on Kamchatka was in the 1960s, and inthe United States’Yellowstone National Park in the early 20th century.Altogether Kamchatka had100 geysers (20 of them of significant size)before a mudslide covered them in June 2007.
PHILIPPINES-The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology on Sunday saidit is studying the possibility of raising the alert level of MayonVolcano in Albay in the Bicol region after it recently showed signs ofincreased activity. The crater glow of the volcano has intensified fromlevel one to two which means the glow is visible with the naked eye.The increase in the crater glow means the magma activity inside thevolcano has increased. Aside from the crater glow, Phivolcshas alsonoted an inflation of the volcano's edifice in the ground deformationsurvey conducted this June compared to the 12 millimeter deflationrecorded inthe survey conducted last January. This also indicates anabnormal activity of the volcano. Meanwhile, in a 24 hour period,PHIVOLCS also recorded four low frequency volcanic earthquake. Alertlevel one however is maintained over Mayonvolcano. With the recentabnormal activity of the volcano, a sudden phreatic explosion ispossible. Phreatic eruptions are steam-driven explosions that occurwhen water beneath the ground or on the surface is heated by magma,lava,hot rocks, or new volcanic deposits. The alert level can be raisedif there isa continuous increase in parameters such as seismic grounddeformation andsulfur dioxide emission rate. Mayon Volcano’s lasteruption happened in July until August of 2006 when the alert level ofthe volcano was raised to four.
HAWAII-After being buried by rubble from a series of vent collapses onTuesday, lava is bubbling back to life at Kilauea's summit. Geologistsmaking observations on the rim of Halema`uma`u Crater could again see asmall ponded lava surface and weak spattering deep within the vent.Thelava was visible overnight on the Webcam perched on the rim ofHalema`uma`u Crater above the vent. Meanwhile, the summit plume is"very thin and wispy" with a lower sulfur dioxide emission rate thanhas been typically seen over the past several months. The most recentmeasurement taken on July3rd recorded 360 tonnes a day compared to over800 tonnes a day that has been clouding the island in vog over the lastfew months. However, even at the lower emission rate, the volcano ventis still producing well over the 2003-2007average rate of 140tonnes/day.
PHILIPPINES-The Philippines' most active volcano is rumbling again while emittingsteam and a strong glow at the summit crater thatcan be seen with thenaked eye. The frequency of volcanic earthquakes has increased on Mayonsignifying the possible movement of magma below the surface that couldlead to ash explosions and eventually eruption. The volcano in thecentral Bicol region spewed ash and lava from July to October 2006sending about 30,000 people away from their homes. Typhoon-triggeredmudslides along Mayon's slopes buried entire villages in December 2006killing more than 1,000people. Authorities on Friday said they haveraised a five-step alert systemfrom 1 to 2. Alert Level 2 means "astate of unrest which could lead toash explosions or eventually tohazardous magmatic eruption." Almost 7,000people living near MountMayon would have to be evacuated should the volcano's abnormal activityescalate to Level 3
The night skies over Britain will turn a deep shade of crimson this weekas the fallout from a Russian volcano blast hits the UK. Millions oftonnes of dust, ash and sulphur dioxide were thrown up to 30 miles intothe air when Sarychev Peak on Matua Island in the Kuril Archipelagoerupted last month. The blast created what experts call a‘volcanicaerosol’ - a colourful mixture of ash and sulphur compounds - in thestratosphere. This scatters an invisible blue which, when mixed withthe red light of the setting sun, produces a ‘volcanic lavender’, orvivid crimson/violet hue. Strong winds blew the soaring plume more than2,000 miles across the northern hemisphere before its effects werenoticed in Britain last Thursday. The RARE phenomenon has been caughton camera. Meteorologists say the sunset spectacle will last forseveral days, but will only be visible on clear evenings. It will thencontinue on its journey across the Atlantic and into the skies aboveNorth America.
PHILIPPINES- Mayon's rumbling sounds, its crater glowing at night, and snakessuddenly out of their pits. These are signs that the volcano’s eruptionis forthcoming. “We have been hearing rumbling sounds, witnessing thecrater glow at night, and seeing snakes in our farm just next to thesix-kilometer permanent danger zone." But some residents are stillwaiting for another sign: wells drying up. Right now, their wells “arestill filled with rainwater.” Other residents reported unusual dryingup of wells and they also smelled sulfurous substances. The past fewdays, wildlife has been restless along the slopes. Five new quakeepisodes recorded during the past 24 hours.Alert Level 2 still remains,meaning that the volcano is on a state of“moderate unrest” that couldeventually lead to a possible eruption. The6-kilometer danger zonearound Mayon and the 7-km danger zone in the southeast quadrant arestill off-limits to the public. Mayon has a sustained steamingactivity, which was visibly high on Tuesday.
PHILIPPINES-The restive Mayon volcano had four volcanic earthquakes Sunday. Thevolcano, which remains under Alert Level 2status, has recorded a totalof 43 volcanic earthquakes from July 6-12. Mt.Mayon’s crater glow alsoremained at Intensity II and its steaming activity isstill at moderatelevel. Mt. Mayon was placed under Alert Level 2 on July 10because ofthe increase in its activities since June 2009. Alert Level 2 means“astate of unrest which could lead to ash explosions or eventually tohazardous magmatic eruption.”
PHILIPPINES- Tourists were ordered off an island volcano near the Philippinecapital Tuesday afterseismologists detected ground shaking that theysaid could presage a minor eruption. "Significant volcanic and seismicevents have been detected over the past months" and the main crater ofTAAL "remains off limits tothe public because steam explosions maysuddenly occur or high concentrationsof toxic gases may accumulate."The tiny crater island is surrounded by alake that formed from a pasteruption. Scores of visitors cross the lake by boat every day beforemaking a short day hike to the crater lip. Taal is one of the country's22 active volcanoes with 33 known eruptions in recorded history.
Two weeks agoseismologists raised the second of a multi-stage volcano alert overMOUNT MAYON on the southern tip of the main island of Luzon followingincreased seismic activity.
TheDepartment of Public Works and Highways activated on Monday itsdisaster management team in Albay province in anticipation of a majoreruption of the Mayon volcano. Volcanologists monitoring Mayon said theeruption this year could be bigger than the 2006eruption.
ETHIOPIA -Recent volcano eruption in Ethiopia caused surface displacement in thearea. The volcano eruption on June 29 occurred in the area located at65-kms northwest of Semera, capital of Afar regional state. The volcanohas created about 4.5-kms opening within a 60-km-long dyke created inthe area in 2005. With the expectation ofmore volcanic events in theregion, DABBAHU-MANDA-HARARO IS THE MOST ACTIVE AREA ON THE PLANETRIGHT NOW. A number of volcano incidents have happened in the areasince 2005. Most of the volcanic eruptions that occurred in the regionremained beneath the surface of the earth; the recent one is the fourtheruption in Ethiopia since 2005. The eruption was a follow-up to thedyke created due to a similar eruption four years ago. Lava hasoverflowed from the dyke that covers 5-kms long and surfacedisplacement occurred following the eruption. The recent volcanoeruption also created small hills elevated from 30to 40 meters. Biggereruptions and earth quakes are expected to happen in the next fiveyears. The geologists urged responsible bodies in the region toconsider the issue in any of development activities being undertaken inthe area.
ICELAND -Magma intrusion might lead to KATLA eruption. Over the past threeweeks, tremors have been detected ten kilometers beneathEyjafjallajökull Glacier. These are similar topalpitations thatoccurred in 1994 and 1999, which were cases of magma intrusion.In 1999,the palpitations impacted the volcano Katla even if they did not causean eruption. "Volcanic activity under Eyjafjallajökull Glacier is knowntobe able to trigger eruption in Katla due to the proximity of thetwo."Seismic activity can cause Katla to erupt. “That is what happenedin 1821 when an eruption in Eyjafjallajökull Glacier lasted two years,eventually leading to an eruption in Katla in 1823.” It could takemonths to determine what is going on under the Glacier. “Theinvestigation took a long time in 1994 and 1999 but we are probablyfacing the beginning of a magma intrusion. We measure that bymonitoring the uplift of the terrain.
ETHIOPIA -A huge amount of lava has spewed in the remote volcanic complex inEthiopia’s Danakil Depression bordering Eritrea. The eruptive activitystarted in late June and the heat from the spewing lava wasf irstdetected by space-based thermal sensors. The area is home to mainlynomadic herders. So far there have been three other eruptions of theManda Hararo volcanic field since the first volcanic activities inmodern times beganthere in August 2007. However, the current eruptionis being accompanied by dense plumes of sulphur dioxide gas. Theeruption killed five people and hundreds of livestock and forced 50,000nomads to flee. This active volcanic area is an extension of the EastAfrican Rift Valley. The exact mechanism of the rift formation is stillunder debate among scientists. Evidence suggests that the East AfricanRift System (EARS) assumes elevated heat flow from the asthenosphere(the liquid layer of mantle), which is causing a pair ofthermal“bulges” in central Kenya and the Afar region on theEritrean-Ethiopian border.EARS is one of the geologic wonders of theworld, a place where the present tectonic forces could possibly createnew plates by splitting apart old ones.
RUSSIA's northernmostactive volcano churned out ash to a height of some 5,000 meters (23,000feet)in the country's Far East late on Saturday. The Shiveluch volcanoon the Kamchatka Peninsula last erupted in December 2006 and has beenactive ever since. They registered over 170 tremors within the area in24 hours. "Some of them were followed by powerful ash bursts andavalanches." Volcanic activity over the past two-three years hassignificantly altered the contour of the volcano, with the craterincreasing in size by 50% and the slopes becoming far steeper. Thereare more than 150 volcanoes on Kamchatka, 29 of them active.
INDONESIA -Anak Krakatoa, the killer volcano that claimed 36,000 lives, stirs oncemore. An amateur photographer has captured new images of there-awakening of the world's most famous volcano. Last month he capturedthese images of the waking monster and even caught a violent stormpassing over the new cone. The ticking time-bomb can be seen spewingash into the Indonesian sky between Java and Sumatra where it lies onthe Sunda Strait.Lava can also be seen trickling down the side of thenew slopes that have quickly grown to a towering 360 metres. It nowmeasures half of the size of the original mound that ended so manylives. 'These volcanoes repeat explosions like that of 1883 many timesduring their life. The common opinion is that Krakatoa will becomeagain really dangerous when it reaches the size it had been in1883. Itwas two-times taller than now.' Anak Krakatoa is emerging from theremains of the former giant beast which blew itself apart. The originaleruption not only killed thousands in fire, but also sparked a tsunami.The huge wave was caused by masses of rock falling into the water belowas the volcano-island destroyed itself and collapsed into the ocean.Many more perished suffering from the effects of falling hot ashes andpoison gases which smothered the surrounding lands. The reborn volcano,Anak, has been steadily growing out ofi ts predecessor's remains since1927. In November 2007 it started violently erupting again butislanders thought they had escaped another potential disaster wheneverything went quiet last year. This spring, however, the new mountainstarted rumbling again. The eruptions have become so fierce they lightup overhead clouds and draw in violent thunderstorms as the atmospherechanges.
June - Volcanoes 2009:INDONESIA -One of Indonesia's most active volcanoes is threatening to erupt,officials said Monday, as they ordered residents in nearby villages toleave. The alert status of Mount Karangetang was raised to the highestlevel after it started spewing lava and hot ash hundreds of yards(meters) into the air. The volcano on Siau, part of the Sulawesi islandchain, last showed signs of intense activity in July 2006, when 4,000people were evacuated. It has spit out ash and lava several times sincethen, but no serious injuries have been reported. The last deadlyeruption was in 1992, when six villagers were killed.
INDONESIA -Mount Sangiang, a volcano in Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara has beenclosed for hiking. There have been sounds of eruption since lastThursday. The mountain's status is on alert. Since last month, 13quakes occur every day with white smoke coming out from the mountain.
COLUMBIA -Colombia's Galeras volcano erupted on Monday for the second time in 24hours, showering villages in the surrounding area with ash, but causingno damage or injuries. Authorities ordered 8,000 residents to evacuatethe area. No immediate impact was reported on the country's coffeecrops. Galeras, which has registered minor eruptions in recent years,is closely observed because of the threat it poses to nearbypopulations. Eight eruptions have rattled the volcano so far this year.
Super volcano may be brewing beneath Mount St Helens -Peering under the volcano has revealed what may be an extraordinarilylarge zone of semi-molten rock, which would be capable of feeding agiant eruption. The measurements revealed a column of conductivematerial that extends downward from the volcano. About 15 kilometersbelow the surface, the relatively narrow column appears to connect to amuch bigger zone of conductive material. This larger zone was firstidentified in the 1980s, and was found to extend all the way to beneathMount Rainier 70 kilometers to the north-east and Mount Adams 50kilometers to the east. The new measurements show an apparent conduitconnecting this conductive zone to Mount St Helens. If the structurebeneath the three volcanoes is indeed a vast bubble of partially moltenrock, it would be comparable in size to the biggest magma chambers everdiscovered, such as the one below Yellowstone National Park.
RUSSIA - Avolcanic eruption on a remote Russian island north of Japan has createda giant ash cloud that threatens passing airplanes. The eruption ofSarychev Peak on uninhabited Matua Island, part of the Kuril Islandsarchipelago in the North Pacific Ocean, began overnight Thursday-Fridayand is still underway. It has formed an ash cloud eight kilometers(five miles) high which has spread 310 kilometers to the west.
CHILE-Chaiten volcano - It lay dormant for 9,000 years before eruptingspectacularly without warning a year ago, spewing ash 12 miles into theair. And now, Chaiten volcano is threatening an entire town in Chile’ssouthern Patagonia region. Still, some residents of the town of Chaitendefy orders to move. In February, the volcano exploded with renewedfury and split open a one-kilometer gap on the south side of thevolcano’s dome, prompting the government to order an indefiniteevacuation for the roughly 200 residents who had returned over the pastyear. Scientists say the volcano could remain active for decades.Chilean officials also announced that this year they would begin torebuild the provincial capital six miles to the north of Chaiten, inSanta Barbara, a coastal village with a port and high mountains toshield it from the volcano. But about 70 Chaiten residents stubbornlyrefuse to leave, living day to day without running water orelectricity, as their lawyers attempt to prevent the government fromforcibly removing them. At least 10 times a day, there are earthquakes,with recent tremors measuring as high as 4.2 on the Richter scale.
ITALY -Giant volcano smoldering under the sea of Santorini - The under-watervolcano, Columbus, situated 6.5 meters south-east of Santorini in theAegean sea, is being observed with great interest by Greek and Germanscientists. They have registered constant earthquakes of 4 Richter, hotair eruptions and continuous changes in the sea floor around thecrater. The volcano is 470 meters high and reaches down to 17 metersbeneath the sea floor. Its crater’s width is out of proportion - 1.5kilometers. Complex submarine equipment has shown that Columbus’svolcanic activity never stops. It is the reason for the frequentearthquakes and constant changes in the surface around the crater. “Thedistortion of the sea floor is minor but it can be seen on the walls ofthe crater and in the 10-15-kilometers perimeter around it.”
COSTA RICA -alert Level 3 as Arenal Volcano spews vapor. Scientists raised thevolcanic alert of the Arenal Volcano in the north-central region of LaFortuna from 2b to 3 on a 4-level scale on Friday. Level 3, or “yellowalert,” means a probable eruption or strong changes in the eruptionpatterns in the next 10 days, upcoming weeks, or few months. Arenalcould show “significant variations in the development of the volcanicprocess,” which could result in “an explosive eruption or damaging lavaand rock flows.” Scientists reported an increase in vapor explosions,known as phreatic eruptions, since early March. After two and a halfmonths of such activity, pyroclastic flows – fast moving currents ofhot gas and rock – could begin to occur, one of the reasons for thealert.
RUSSIA- Avolcanic eruption in Russia's Kuril Islands is diverting jets toAnchorage. Sarychev Volcano has been erupting since late last week. Aspokesman for Anchorage's main airport says it has received about adozen diverted Asia-bound passenger and cargo flights since Sundaynight. Airport staff on Wednesday called it a "turnabout of volcanicimpacts," referring to the Anchorage airport's previous loss of flightsduring eruptions of Mount Redoubt.
INDONESIA -Mt Anak Krakatau`s eruptions record tremendous increase. Smalleruptions of Mt Anak Krakatau, the volcano in the Sunda Strait nearLampung province, through Wednesday were reported to have recorded atremendous increase during the past few days, while the status of thevolcano remained at the third level of alertness. At least 828 smalleruptions were recorded to have happened on the volcano with 63volcanic quakes, 434 tremors and 366 times of emission in the past sixdays. The frequency of the quakes and small eruptions took place everythree minutes. At present, the condition of Mt Anak Krakatau is in astate of danger, as it spewed glowing lava like gravel with atemperature at 600 degree Celsius. The increasing eruption was markedwith white smoke billowing from the mountain`s crater in a height of800 meters to the north. In response to increasing seismic activityaround Mt. Anak Krakatau, trekking and hiking activities have beenbanned in the area. The mountain, which experienced increasing seismicactivity since April this year has been erupting on a daily basis."There are strong indications of increasing seismic activitiesincluding the emission of hazardous gas." The volcano`s activity was onFriday marked by 182 eruptions coupled with 11 volcanic quakes, eightdeep volcanic tremors, 54 shallow volcanic shocks, 44 tremors, and italso spewed smoke 29 times. But none of the phenomena posed a directthreat to human life. There were even 2-minute tectonic shocks but alsonot dangerous. Learning of the rising activity, some coastal residentsliving close to Mount Anak Krakatau were reported to have evacuated toBandarlampung for fear of imminent eruption of the volcano due to theincreased volcanic activity. "The distance between our village and AnakKrakatau is more than three miles, but the sound of eruption that itproduces is very loud, like the sound of a cannon in the middle of thesea. So far it has never emitted such loud blasts and we have beenobserving that it has often discharged molten lava." Fishermen havebeen afraid of fishing around the volcano and the Sunda Strait over thepast week. The best-known eruption of Krakatau culminated in a seriesof massive explosions on August 26-27, 1883, which were among the mostviolent volcanic events in modern and recorded history. The eruptionwas equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT - about 13,000 times the nuclearyield of the Little Boy bomb that devastated Hiroshima during World WarII and four times the yield of the largest nuclear device everdetonated.
May - Volcanoes 2009:INDONESIA -Volcanologists at Mount RINJANI in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara Provinceclosed the mountain as eruptions intensified since Monday (April 27).On Sunday, repeated explosion were heard since 5.50 AM local time, butactivities have been escalating since Saturday (May 2) afternoon. TheMining and Energy office of West Nusa Tenggara Province reported acrater began to form at the eastern slope of the mountain. Theeruptions had not caused terrible impacts “but a small crater began toform” in the eastern part of the mountainous area at Mount Baru Jari.On Saturday (May 2) volcanic ash and smoke eruption have reached toabout 8.000 meters. The eruption is the latest major one recorded infive years. The last huge eruption was in 1994.
INDONESIA -Mount BARUJARI, a volcano in the middle of the crater lake of MountRinjani on Lombok Island, continued to emit volcanic ash and smoke onSunday. But the eruptions were relatively smaller than those onSaturday. “The eruptions are almost like firecrackers, but the volcanois safe." The volcano, sprayed hot ashes into the Segara Anak, thecrater lake contained within Mount Rinjani. The lava did not pose adanger to people because it was quite far from the nearest village inSenaru, Bayan subdistrict, in North Lombok. The volcano last erupted inSeptember 2004.
ALASKA -Seismic activity at Mount Redoubt increased over 24 hours on Sunday anda steam and ash plume rising above the volcano increased in sizedramatically in the 9 o'clock hour Sunday night. The activity "appearsto be gaining intensity. Seismic activity has increased markedly in thelast 24 hours, showing stronger volcanic tremor and more frequentrockfall events." Late Sunday night scientists said that an explosiveeruption is now more likely in the next few days than it has been inthe last few weeks. The alert level remains at orange. Redoubt has nothad an explosive eruption since April 4 when the volcano created an ashfall along the Kenai Peninsula. An eruption on March 28 forced theclosure of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport for about 20hours. The first series of explosive events began March 22 when Redoubtended months of anticipation with six powerful blasts.
INDONESIA -Besides Mt Baru Jari, several volcanoes in Indonesia have shown anincrease in activities recently. Mt Slamet in Central Java sprayedthick ash last week, covering the nearby regencies of Tegal andPurbalingga. On April 24, Mt Anak Krakatau, located in the SundaStrait, also showed increasing activity, with 237 small eruptions. Thisstarted on April 15, with 156 small explosion and 25 volcanic quakes.Earlier last month, Mt Kerinci, the highest mountain in Sumatra, alsosprayed ash, covering areas in the Kerinci regency of Jambi province.Small eruptions continued throughout the month. In March, Mt Semeru,which, at 3.676 meters above sea level is the highest volcano in Java,also showed increased activity with several small explosions andtremors. Residents in regencies around the mountain, including Lumajangand Malang in East Java, were told to be on alert. Dukono, a volcanoon the Indonesian island of Halmahera, released a plume of ash andsteam on May 3. The plume continued a pattern of intermittent activityin an ongoing eruption. Dukono is a complex volcano with multiplesummit peaks and overlapping craters. The volcano’s remote locationmakes reports of its activity rare, but it ranks among Indonesia’s mostactive volcanoes.
ALASKA - Getready for another possible eruption from Redoubt within the next fewdays as activity at Mount Redoubt is again increasing. Late Tuesday,seismic activity at Mount Redoubt intensified from discrete, repeatingevents to continuous tremor.
HAWAII - Thevog (volcanic smog) covering the islands is the WORST IT HAS BEEN INYEARS, American Lung Association officials said. A combination of lightwinds out of the south and the eruptions at Kilauea Volcano created thesituation.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO -The volcanoes in the central African nation could be about to erupt,threatening Goma, which has a population of more than half a millionpeople. Scientists found evidence of intense volcanic activity —including tremors, pools of lava and plumes of smoke — at two volcanoesnear a major city in eastern Congo, and said some residents had fledfor fear of an eruption. The two volcanic peaks are Nyiragongo andNyamulagira. "The eruption could be tomorrow, or the day after — or atany other time." The Nyiragongo crater is only 11 miles (18 kilometers)north of Lake Kivu, where Goma is located. 1.3 million people arethreatened by the two volcanoes, including the residents of Goma, thevillages surrounding it and the inhabitants of Gisenyi, located acrossthe Rwandan border. "The villagers living near Nyiragongo have alreadyleft their villages after they saw the volcano shake today. Theythought it was already erupting." Nyiragongo is listed as one of theeight most dangerous volcanoes in the world and its lava can flow at upto 24 miles (40 kilometers) per hour.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO -Fears are rife that Mount Nyamulagira in the Democratic Republic ofCongo may soon erupt. This comes on the heels of a significantincreased volcanic activity around Goma in the east of the country.Residents say by day, the air in the city is thick with volcanic dust.By night, residents can often see the red glow of burning lavatrickling out of the summit of the nearest volcano, Mount Nyiragongo.Significantly increased temperatures have been recorded around MountNyiragongo recently and a larger than usual cloud of volcanic dust wasbeing thrown into the skies. However, it is Mount Nyamulagira that islikely to erupt.
RUSSIA - TheShiveluch Volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula released a smallplume of vapor as the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission andReflection Radiometer on NASA’s Terra satellite passed overhead on May10. Shiveluch exhibited above-normal seismic activity from May 6 to May12, and ash plumes may have reached a height of 6.7 kilometers (22,000feet).
SAUDI ARABIA -Rumblings from Al-Ais volcanoes send villagers into state of panic -Rumblings from the direction of extinct volcanoes in Al-Ais, which washit by a series of tremors over the last couple of weeks, sentvillagers in the area into a state of near panic in the early hoursThursday. “Most of the local people spent the night in a state ofextreme anxiety when a thunder-like rumble was heard." Despite repeatedreassurances from the Saudi Geological Survey that there was nothing toworry about; the provincial branch of the Civil Defense is battle-readywith personnel and equipment to face any eventuality. Civil Defenseteams have been patrolling villages where tremors were experienced toreassure people. The teams are also checking the safety of buildings inthe region. Al-Harrah Mountain was the source of the rumbling noise andthe epicenter of the recent tremors. The mountain, with its jet-blackstones and sand devoid of any flora and fauna, diffused an air ofeeriness all around. The tremors were due to subterranean volcanicactivity in the Harrat Al-Shaqqah area. The SGS registered 11 seismictremors since last Tuesday in Al-Ais, the biggest of which measured 3.7on the Richter scale. A US scientist currently visiting the Kingdomdismissed the tremors as usual underground activity that did not poseany threat to the safety of people living in the area. “The tremorsexperienced in some villages in Madinah province are normal and notdangerous. It is normal underground movement along a fault line.” SAUDIARABIA - Saudi authorities evacuated five western villages on Mondayafter tremors hit a volcanic region in the past weeks raising concernsof possible eruptions. A 4.68 earthquake hit the region on Sunday."There was a large quake, the largest so far." Al-Ais, 150 km (100miles) northeast of the Yanbu on the Red Sea, is not close to the oiland petrochemicals facilities. The region lies on a fault line, andnewspapers reported that in the past few days magma levels had raisedto 4 km (2.5 miles) below the surface from 8 km. Fears of an eruptionin dormant volcanoes in al-Ais have sent panic stricken residentsvoluntarily fleeing to the holy city of Medina and Yanbu last week.
A massive underwater mountaindiscovered off the Indonesian island of Sumatra could be a volcano withpotentially catastrophic power, a scientist said Friday. The mountainwas discovered earlier this month about 330 kilometers (205 miles) westof Bengkulu city during research to map the seabed's seismic faultlines. The cone-shaped mountain is 4,600 meters (15,100 feet) high, 50kilometers in diameter at its base and its summit is 1,300 meters belowthe surface. "It looks like a volcano because of its conical shape butit might not be. We have to conduct further investigations." He deniedreports that researchers had confirmed the discovery of a new volcano,insisting that at this stage it could only be described as a "seamount"of the sort commonly found around the world. "Whether it's active ordangerous, who knows?"
April - Volcanoes 2009:CHILEThe eruption of the Llaima volcano in Chile intensified Sunday, blowingash four miles into the sky and prompting more evacuations. Llaim beganspewing lava on Friday night in a fresh bout of activity. A toweringcloud of ash was drifting toward Argentina, extending 62 milessoutheast of the volcano. “The volcano continues to permanently erupt,with explosions, lava flows and ash. More people were evacuatedovernight because of the risk of mud avalanches as the lava melts snowon the volcano.” The crater of Chile's erupting Llaima volcano isblocked with debris that could prompt a pressure build-up and renewedexplosions of lava, experts warned on Wednesday. Llaima began spittinglava in a fresh bout of activity on Friday night. It belched ash 4miles (7 km) into the sky during the weekend, prompting the evacuationof 123 people from the surrounding area. Activity died down and thereis now a much smaller ash cloud but national emergency office ONEMIsaid the situation remained critical. The cone of pyroclastic material,essentially molten rock, had built up and now jutted above the crater,extending the height of Llaima to 10,630 feet (3,240 meters) above sealevel from around 10,397 feet (3,169 meters) previously. "It would bemuch better if the crater were unobstructed, so it can release energygradually and slowly." The volcano's eruptive activity is very erraticand could quickly surge.
ALASKA - Asatellite is tracking a sulfur dioxide cloud emitted by the April 4thMt. Redoubt eruption. The cloud will probably move across NorthAmerica in the days ahead. Keep an eye out for volcanic sunsets.
INDONESIA Threevolcanoes around the country are currently on alert status and another11 have shown signs of increasing activity in the last month, anofficial said on Sunday. Officials had raised the status of Mount Ibuin Maluku Province in December 2008, Mount Semeru in East Java Provincein early March and Mount Karangetang in North Sulawesi Province inmid-March. They have no predictions of imminent eruptions, but warnedlocals to stay outside a two-kilometer radius of each volcano due tothe increasing activity. “They are now dangerous for local residents.Karangetang is dangerous for its great deal of volcanic ash, Ibu forits molten lava spray and Semeru for its eruption activity. We aremonitoring them intensively because there has been no sign ofdecreasing activities.” Indonesia has the highest number of activevolcanoes of any country in the world.
INDONESIACoastal residents living close to Mount Anak Krakatau, off the SundaStrait in Lampung, have evacuated to Bandarlampung out of fear of animminent eruption of the volcano due to increased volcanic activity,despite the fact that its alert status remains at two out of four.Mount Anak Krakatau has been producing small eruptions over the pastweek. “The distance between our village and Anak Krakatau is more thanthree miles, but the sound of eruption that it produces is very loud,like the sound of a cannon in the middle of the sea. So far IT HASNEVER EMITTED SUCH LOUD BLASTS and we have been observing that it hasoften discharged molten lava.” Fishermen have been afraid to fisharound the volcano and the Sunda Strait over the past week. Residentsin Punduh Pidada say they have not heard eruptions as huge as thoseover the past week since Anak Krakatau was classified as active. Thelast time it showed signs of activity were in mid February, when iterupted up to three times a day. The seismograph at the Anak Krakatauobservation post in Hargopancuran village, Rajabasa district, SouthLampung, has recorded 126 eruptions weekly, including 23 deepunderground, 82 shallow and 149 hot cloud discharges. Visualobservation shows grayish ash formations between 200 and 800 metershigh.
INDONESIAThe volcanic activity of three more mountains - in West Sumatra,Central Java and East Nusa Tenggara - is on the rise, leadingauthorities to remind residents living in the surrounding areas to beon the alert. The activity of Mt. KERIINCI, the highest in Sumatra, hasincreased since Sunday, exploding loudly and spewing ash up to 400meters high. The mountain, which is located on the border of WestSumatra and Jambi, continued spewing ash on Tuesday.
INDONESIAResidents and government officials were preparing late on Monday for amajor eruption from Central Java’s Mount Slamet volcano after the earthstarted shaking at a rate of 95 tremors a minute. "Even though theearthquake activity is increasing, we have not yet decided to raiseSlamet to the highest alert level, or a was status, as we think thedanger level will continue to fluctuate.” The mountain, 215 kilometerseast-southeast of Jakarta, continued to spew bursts of lava and emithigh levels of volcanic ash, which had caused some nearby residents tosuffer upper respiratory infections. “The mountain has sprayed moltenlava up to 600 meters into the air and we have recorded bursts ofvolcanic ash up to 112 times within a six-hour period.” The Volcanologyagency is also currently monitoring 11 other volcanoes across thearchipelago that has shown signs of increased activity over the lastmonth.
March - Volcanoes 2009:JAPAN -One of Japan's most active volcanoes has erupted, spewing out lava anddebris as far as 2kms away. The Sakurajima volcano, near the southerncity of Kagoshima, belched lava seven times from 5.22am. "It's possiblethat the volcano will step up activity, and we have issued a warning toresidents living nearby." The volcano, about 950km southwest of Tokyo,continued to spout fumes, although they were down from an earlier highof 1,200m.
NEW ZEALAND -There has been an enormous eruption in an underwater volcano about 300kilometers from the Bay of Plenty. Using underwater mapping devices,scientists have found evidence of the eruption by the Rumble IIIVolcano near the Kermadecs. Rumble III, which is part of the250-kilometre South Kermadec Ridge, rises 2300 meters from the seafloor. Until 2007, its summit was within about 200m of the sea surface.However, scientists on a research ship that has just spent two weeksinvestigating underwater volcanoes have found a "startling change" inthe shape of the summit, which has reduced in height by about 100m. Thevolcano has endured a "fairly catastrophic" eruption. A map made in2007 showed an 800m-wide crater near the top, but the new map now showsthe crater had been filled and the nearby summit cone had shrunk. "Thissuggests there has been a major eruption that collapsed the summit coneand filled the adjacent crater." The eruption is consistent with thefact that a number of the 90 submarine volcanoes along the Kermadec Arcare highly active. Some of the volcanoes along the 2000 kilometerunderwater chain, which runs northeast of New Zealand between the Bayof Plenty and Tonga, are as big as Mt Ruapehu.
COLUMBIA- authoritiesordered inhabitants to evacuate the area around the Galeras volcanonear the Ecuadorian border. It erupted and showered ash over severalvillages in the southern province of Nariño without taking any victimsor causing material damage. The peak located some 700 kilometers (435miles) southwest of Bogota was on orange alert since Thursday, and onSaturday the category was raised to red alert, signifying imminenteruption or eruption in progress.
INDONESIA -Mt. Semeru has been spewing lava and volcanic ash. The alert status hasbeen raised from third to second highest level. The Indonesia Red Crossbegan preparing around 400 volunteers Friday in anticipation of thepossible eruption of the nearby Mount Semeru. The volunteers weredistributed to the four districts of Poncokusumo, Ampelgading, Dampitand Tirtoyudo, the areas nearest to the volcano, the highest in Java.The four districts, located on the northern, western and southernslopes of the volcano, are considered the most vulnerable if aneruption takes place. The volunteers were tasked with establishingareas for possible evacuation spots for survivors. "We have alsoprepared military tents that we can use as refugee tents in the eventof a worst-case scenario." Hot lava is expected to pass throughPronojiwo in Lumajang regency in the event of an eruption.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO-a mantle plume - an upwelling of intense heat from near the core of theEarth - may be bubbling to life beneath Nyiragongo, an active Africanvolcano, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “This is the mostfluid lava anyone has seen in the world. It’s unlike anything comingout of any other volcano. We believe we’re seeing the beginning of aplume that is pushing up the entire area and contributing to volcanismand earthquakes." The lava, which resides in the world’s largest lavalake - more than 600 feet wide inside the summit of Nyiragongo -, hasisotopic compositions of neodymium and strontium which are identical toancient asteroids. "This suggests that the lava is coming from a placedeep inside the Earth where the source of molten rock is in itspristine condition. Because the Earth’s crust is undergoing constantchange via tectonic motion, weathering, and resurfacing, its chemicalcomposition has been dramatically altered over its 4-billion-yearlifespan, but the Nyiragongo magma source in the deep mantle has not."That magma source is thought to retain some of the solar system'soriginal make-up of elements, and this is what Basu and his colleaguesbelieve they have detected in Nyiragongo’s lava lake. Scientistsbelieve mantle plumes can last hundreds of millions of years, and thattheir heat can create phenomena such as Yellowstone National Park orthe string of Hawaiian Islands. Nyiragongo’s frequent eruptions may bethe birthing pains of a similar plume and the possible beginning of newlarge-scale geological formations in the region. Other well knownfeatures of the region also point toward the idea of a growing plume.Nyiragongo last erupted in 2002, sending its super-fluid lava down itsslopes at more than 60 miles per hour toward the nearby town of Goma,destroying 4,500 buildings and leaving 120,000 homeless.
ALASKA-Mount Redoubt volcano has exploded anew, hurling ash and smoke highinto the atmosphere. At 4.24am AEDT today, the volcano began kickingout fresh debris, now reaching nearly 20,000 meters above sea level.The Alaska Volcano Observatory described the blast as "a majorexplosive event".
ALASKA -MountRedoubt has erupted again, spewing an ash cloud 50,000 feet up into theair. The volcano had a significant eruption at 1:20 a.m. Saturday. Theash is expected to move north toward the Alaska Range, missingAnchorage which is about 100 miles from the volcano. The observatorysays after the eruption, it detected strong seismic activity lasting 20minutes or more followed by an hours-long low-level tremor.
February - Volcanoes 2009:JAPAN-Mount Asama volcano has erupted, spewing smoke almost 2km (1.3 miles)into the air and causing ash to drift over parts of the capital, Tokyo.There were no reports of injuries or damage in the sparsely populatedarea around the mountain, 145km north-west of Tokyo. Chunks of rockfrom the explosion were found about 1km from the volcano. Residentsliving within a 4km radius of the mountain have been urged to becautious. No lava flows could be seen. The last major eruption of MountAsama took place in September 2004, when it spewed ash and rock as faras 200km away. A huge eruption in 1783 caused widespread damage andkilled about 1,500 people.
ALASKA-Mount Redoubt still hadn't blown its stack as of Sunday evening, butsome awesome stuff was happening high atop the restless volcano. Twoholes -- one more than the length of a football field across -- haveformed in Drift Glacier below the summit. Each of the holes, known asfumaroles, is blowing steam and volcanic gas 2,000 feet into the air. Avast sunken area known as a "collapse feature" also has appeared inrecent hours. And a thin mudflow is streaming down the 10,197-footmountain. It takes immense heat welling up within the volcano to makethe giant holes and other features in so brief a time. Redoubt couldexplode at any time -- or take its sweet time and keep us in suspensefor days or weeks. It also could simmer down and never erupt, thoughthe chances of that are lower. If it does blow, Anchorage and the KenaiPeninsula could be showered with ash. Volcanologists detected asizeable quake at 5:37 a.m. Sunday with characteristics suggesting themovement of underground fluids. "Redoubt Volcano southwest of Anchorageshook with thousands of small earthquakes Thursday, then erupted andshot a cloud of ash seven miles high."
Caribbean Faces Tsunami Threat -In the first documented major earthquake in the Caribbean, Jamaica'sPort Royal was devastated on June 7, 1692. The city was turned upsidedown by massive tsunami waves that dumped the harbour's ships onto theonce bustling streets and sucked the dead bodies and bones fromuprooted graves out into the harbour. Scientists have evidence of atleast 10 significant tsunamis in the northern Caribbean since 1492. All10 have been triggered by earthquakes caused by friction along theboundary of the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates. Thisboundary, which lies along the north coast of Hispaniola, extends for3,200 kilometres from Central America to the Lesser Antilles. The lastmajor Caribbean tsunami took place in 1946 and killed about 100 peoplein the Dominican Republic. Since then, things have been ominously quietand due to the clockwork-like nature of the region, scientists arewondering when, not if, another tsunami will strike. Despite proposalsto build an early-warning system in the Caribbean following the deathsof over 225,000 people in the 2004 Asian tsunami, there is no suchsystem yet in place. A tsunami early-warning system for the Caribbeanregion may come into place by 2011. However, this means that the 40million inhabitants of the Caribbean will have no forewarning in themeantime and no contingency plans should a tsunami take place. Thebiggest danger comes from all the way across the Atlantic. A geologicaltime bomb that will create the extraordinary phenomenon known as amega-tsunami is located on one of the Canary Islands, just off thecoast of North Africa. One flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on theisland of La Palma could be plunged into the ocean by the next volcaniceruption. "If the volcano collapsed in one block of rock, weighing 500billion tonnes, it would create an undersea wave 2,000 feet tall.Within five minutes of the landslide, a dome of water about a mile highwould form and then collapse, before the mega tsunami fanned out inevery direction, travelling at speeds of up to 500 miles per hour.""When one of these comes in, it keeps on coming for 10 to 15 minutes."Between nine and 12 hours after the collapse of the island, wavesbetween 20 and 50 metres high will crash into the Caribbean islands andthe eastern seaboard of North America. Some fear La Palma couldcollapse at any time. "The thing about La Palma is we know it's on themove now." Scientists believe the chunk of land is slipping slowly intothe water and think it is highly likely that another eruption will makethe entire western flank collapse.
JAPAN, RUSSIA-Twovolcanoes in Japan and another in eastern Russia erupted overnight,spreading ash as far as the Philippines and Vietnam. Seven minoreruptions occurred at Mount Sakurajima on Japan’s southern island ofKyushu, throwing rocks up to 2 kilometer. Eruptions at Mount Asama incentral Japan and Karymsky Volcano on the Russian peninsula ofKamchatka were also reported. There were no reports of damage orinjuries. “I woke up after midnight to the sound and shake of theeruption,” said a resident who lives about 20 kilometers away fromAsama. “The sound was as if an airplane was taking off nearby and itcontinued for 30 minutes.” The eruptions occurred in a region wherefour tectonic plates, the Eurasian, Philippine, North American andPacific meet.
Yellowstone National Park, USA-Ageophysicist says an earthquake swarm that occurred under YellowstoneLake a month ago was the second most intense swarm on record inYellowstone. More than 800 earthquakes occurred between Dec. 26 andJan. 8. Many of those quakes were too small to be felt. Even so,University of Utah geophysicist Robert Smith says it was the mostintense swarm recorded in Yellowstone since a swarm that rattled theWest Yellowstone area in 1985. The earthquakes could even change theroutine rise and fall of the Yellowstone Caldera. The caldera, a 37- by25-mile volcanic feature at the center of the park, rests upon a magmaplume that extends roughly 400 miles beneath the Earth's surface.
COLUMBIA- Amajor eruption of Colombia's highest volcano, the Nevado del Huila,seems imminent. This was revealed by experts and authorities onThursday. A fly-over performed on Wednesday showed a large 'dome' oflava hanging over the volcano, which could indicate that an eruption isabout to occur. As such, those living in the danger area were orderedto evacuate immediately. "The volcano has a significantly strong domeand we don't know when an eruption could occur." It is however certainthat the dome is still growing which means an increased level ofdanger. The Nevado del Huila began showing activity in 2007, afterhaving remained dormant for more than 500 years.
INDONESIA -Mt. Kelud spews poisonous gas, lava - Foreign and local sightseerscontinued pouring into Kediri's popular tourist destination of Mt.Kelud on Saturday, despite the regency's warning to steer clear of thevolcano, now spewing poisonous gases and lava. Local authorities haveprohibited locals and visitors from approaching the restive mountainsince it started emitting gases and lava late Friday. The poisonousgases could be dangerous if strong winds carried them into humansettlements.
A volcano near southwest Colombia'sborder with Ecuador erupted on Saturday, leading the government toissue a "red alert" for the region. Galeras volcano has erupted severaltimes since it became active again in 1989.
ALASKA Redoubt volcanoin Alaska still rumbling as eruption watch continues. If Alaska's MountRedoubt is going to blow its top, will it hurry up already? For weeks,the volcano has rumbled and grumbled and scientists remain reasonablysure an eruption -- the first since a long series of them in 1989-90 --will occur. But the tempestuous 10,200-foot peak 100 miles southwest ofAnchorage, towering above the Cook Inlet across from the KenaiPeninsula, is keeping scientists and Alaskans guessing. On Monday therewas "elevated seismicity dominated by ongoing volcanic tremor andoccasional small earthquakes."
January - Volcanoes 2009:COLUMBIA -A possible new eruption of the Nevado del Huila volcano forcedauthorities to evacuate villages and settlements at risk of beingflooded in case of an eruption.
ALASKA- Redoubtvolcano alert rose to orange, indicating that an eruption may beimminent. New seismic activity at Mount Redoubt, 100 miles southwest ofAnchorage, has increased significantly and may be the prelude to aneruption, "perhaps within hours to days," the Alaska VolcanoObservatory reported Sunday. Mount Redoubt volcano in Alaska expectedto erupt 'within days' - "Mount Redoubt is still rumbling andsimmering, prompting geologists to repeat their warning that aneruption may be imminent." It would not be a pleasant period inAnchorage if Redoubt were to blow its top, if its previous eruption isany indication. Geologists monitoring Mount Redoubt for signs of apossible eruption noticed that a hole in the glacier clinging to thenorth side of the volcano had doubled in size overnight - and now spanthe length of two football fields. By Saturday, they had confirmed thearea was a fumarole, an opening in the earth that emits gases and steamthat was increasing in size at an alarming rate. They also saw waterstreaming down the glacier, indicating heat from magma is reachinghigher elevations of the mountain. "The glacier is sort of fallingapart in the upper part."
YELLOWSTONE –IsYellowstone's 'super volcano' about to blow up? The super volcano inYellowstone Park, which includes parts of the states of Wyoming, Idahoand Montana, is making its presence felt. On New Year's Day, thesituation was so alarming that geologists called for an immediateevacuation of an area within a radius of 325 kilometers around thenational park. At a rate of four tremors per hour, an eruption appearedimminent. The tremors have subsided slightly since 1 January, but itwould appear the beast is slowly coming awake. The volcano's caldera,which accounts for much of the park's terrain, measures about 40 by 60kilometers. About 10 kilometers beneath the surface, a giant reservoiris slowly filling up with magma. Through cracks and fissures, some ofits heat rises to the surface in the form of steam and gas, creatingthe geysers the park is so famous for. Since a few days ago, it hasbecome abundantly clear this volcano is no longer dormant. "Yellowstonesits atop a reservoir filled with a highly viscous sort of magma, whichcannot simply flow away through cracks, which means that the gasesproduced by the magma cannot escape and the pressure keeps building.Also, the magma wants to rise up; after all, the gases it containsreduce its specific gravity, and at some point in time the layers ofrock on top the reservoir will simply be blown away in a giganticexplosion." In the week prior to 28 December, the number of tremors inthe area steadily increased to a maximum of 103 a day. In the weekafter, the number was still 10 a day. Park rangers and visitors couldfeel the tremors for miles around. Similar series of tremors have beenregistered before. In 1985, and also in 2004, the tremors came so hardand so fast, they were nearly impossible to count, and the ground inthe park was so hot, that it melted the soles on people's shoes. Threethousand moose did not live to tell the tale. But the tremorseventually subsided. The next major alert was raised in 2007: thebottom of the volcano's bowl-shaped caldera was rising by sevencentimeters a year, clear evidence of mounting pressure in the magmachamber underneath.

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 ofthese
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 volcanic fire of hell.
Revelation 18: [1] And after these things I saw
another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was
lightened with his glory. [2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean and hateful bird. [3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies. [4] And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and
that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [6] Reward
her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her
works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. [7] How much
she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow
give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall
see no sorrow. [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,
death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for
strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. [9] And the kings of the
earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall
bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, [10]
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great
city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come.
[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for
no man buyeth their merchandise any more: [12] The merchandise of gold,
and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and
silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and
all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, [13]
And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil,
and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and
slaves, and souls of men. [14] And the fruits that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are
departed from thee, and thou shall find them no more at all. [15] The
merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand
afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, [16]
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and
purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! [17]
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and
all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar
off, [18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What
city is like unto this great city! [19] And they cast dust on their
heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city,
wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate. [20] Rejoice over her,
thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on
her. [21] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it
into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be
thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. [22] And the
voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard
no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be
found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at
all in thee; [23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all
in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no
more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by
thy sorceries were all nations deceived. [24] And in her was found the
blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation 19: [1] And after these things I
heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and
glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: [2] For
true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which
did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his
servants at her hand. [3] And again they said, Alleluia. And her
smoke rose up forever and ever.
The Arab/Islamic Antichrist/Beast and
the False Prophet/Pope will be cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
This will be their eternal punishment.
Revelation
19: [19] And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him
that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with
him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived
them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his
image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21]
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12. King James Version.
It is in your
best interest to seek Spiritual Truth while you still have time. You only live on
this earth for a little while and then your soul will enter the portal of
eternity. Make the best
use of your time. Seek God as much as you can.
Hebrews
9: [27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment.
Romans
14: [10b] For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
II
Corinthians 5: [10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of
Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Revelation
20: [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever. [11]
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face
the
earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. [12]
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books
were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the
dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to
their works. [13]
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell
delivered up
the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to
their
works. [14]
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death. [15]
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into
the lake
of fire.

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

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."

overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory and keeps and maintains
My works and effort of labor to the continual end, to the one, I
will give power, authority and privilege over the races of people.
And the one will rule, supervise and tend as a shepherd, them with
a rod and a staff made of iron, as the vessels made of clay,
they will be broken, crushed and shattered to shivers and pieces,
even as I have received of My Father. And I will give the one the

individual names even in Sardis, who have not defiled their apparel,
garment and clothes and they will live around and as a proof of
ability, walk with Me in white, for they are deserving, worthy of due
reward. The one who overcomes, conquers and prevails with victory,
will be clothed in white apparel, garment and clothes and I will not,

so that no one may take your crown. The one who overcomes,
conquers and prevails with victory, I will direct to make a support
pillar in the shrine and temple of My Deity; the very exceeding great
God and the one will no more, by no means, nor never go out any longer.
And I will write upon the person: the name, authority and character of
My Deity; the very exceeding great God and the name, authority and
character of the city of walls of My Deity; the very exceeding great
God, which is New Fresh Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven,

The Throne in Heaven
After these things I looked,
and considered this, behold, a door having been opened in the sky of
heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet
speaking with me; saying, Come up here, and I will show to you things
what must be necessary to occur after these things. And immediately I
came to be in the spirit: and, Lo, See, Behold! A throne was set in the
sky of heaven, and One who was sitting on the throne. And He who was
sitting to look upon was like in the appearance of a jasper and a
sardius stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in
appearance like to an emerald. And round about the throne were four and
twenty seats: and on the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting,
having been clothed in white robes of raiment; and they had on their
heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne preceded lightnings and
thunder and voices. And there were seven lamps, torches of fire burning
before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the
throne there was a sea of glass like to crystal. And in the midst of
the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full
of eyes before and behind. And the first living creature was like a
lion, and the second living creature was like a calf, and the third
living creature had a face as a man, and the fourth living creature was
like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures had each of them six
wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not
day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, the One who
was, and the One who is, and the One who is coming! And when those
living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him, the One who
sits on the throne, to the One living forever and ever, to the ages of
the ages. The four and twenty elders will fall down before Him, the One
who sits on the throne, and worship Him, the One who lives forever and
ever, to the ages of the ages and they will cast their crowns before
the throne, saying, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor
and power. Because You have created all things, and on the account of
Your will, they exist and were created.Revelation 4:1-11.
And I saw in the right
hand of Him, the One who sits on the throne a Book of a Scroll of
Writing, within and on the backside, having been sealed with seven
seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great loud voice,
Who is worthy to open the Book of a Scroll of Writing, and to loosen
the seals thereof? And no one in heaven, either on earth, neither
underneath the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look at it.
And I began to weep very much, because no one was found worthy to open
and to read the Book of a Scroll of Writing, neither to look at it. And
one of the elders says to me: Do not weep. Lo, See, Behold! The Lion of
the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the Book of
a Scroll of Writing, and to lose the seven seals of it. And I saw, and,
Lo, See, Behold! In the midst of the throne and of the four
living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb having
been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits of God having been sent forth into all the earth. And he came
and took the Book of a Scroll of Writing out of the right hand of Him
who sits upon the throne. And when He had taken the Book of a Scroll of
Writing, the four living creature and four and twenty elders fell down
before the Lamb, having every one of them a harp, and golden bowls full
of incenses, which are the prayers of saints. And they sang a new song,
saying, You are worthy to take the Book of a Scroll of Writing, and to
open the seals of it. Because you were slain, and You redeemed us to
God by Your blood out of every tribe, and language, and people, and
nation; And You have made us to our God kings and priests: and we will
reign on the earth. And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the
number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands; Saying with a great loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb having
been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,
and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in
heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the
sea, and all that are in them. I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and
glory, and power, to Him, the One sitting on the throne, and to the
Lamb forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. And the four living
creatures said, Amen. So be it. And the four and twenty elders fell
down and worshiped Him, the One living forever and ever, to the ages of
the ages. Revelation 5: 1-14.
The Marriage of the Lamb
And
a voice came out of the stately seat of the throne of power, saying:
Praise our Deity; the very exceeding great God, all the ones, His
slaves and bond servants and the ones who fear Him in awe and
give reverence, the ones both small and great. And I heard and gave
audience, as it were the voice of a great multitude and as
the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders,
saying: Alleluia! Praise ye Jah! In Adoration, for the Lord, the One in
Supreme Authority; Deity; the very exceeding great God, the All-Ruling,
Absolute and Universal Sovereign, the Almighty Omnipotent has begun
to reign as King. Let us be glad, be cheerful with a calm happy
salutation and rejoice with joy and exceeding gladness; and give honor,
glory and praise-full worship to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb is
come and His wife has made ready and prepared herself. And to her was
granted to the intent in order that from the purpose of the results,
that she should be arrayed, clothed and dressed in fine
linen, clean, clear, pure and radiant, magnificent and sumptuous bright
white, for the fine linen is the equitable deeds, statue and decision
of the righteousness of the sacred, morally or religious blameless, the
consecrated saints. Revelation 19:5-8.
His Name is called: The Word of God
And
I saw heaven, the abode of the eternal God open and Lo, See and
Behold! A white horse and He, the One who sat upon it
was being called Faithful, Trustworthy and True: and in equity of
justifiable righteousness He judges and makes battle in warfare. His
eyes were a blazing flame of lightning fiery fire and on His head were
many, abundant crowns and diadems. And He had a name written of
authority and character which no one knows, except He Himself. And
He was clothed and appareled with a vesture in a robe of clothing
having been dipped and completely covered in blood. And His name,
authority and character is called, The Word, The Divine Expression of
Deity; the very exceeding great God. Revelation 19:11-13.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
And
the armies or extension of an armament, which were in the sky of
heaven, the eternal abode of God, followed Him upon white horses,
clothed having been dressed in fine linen, white and pure, clear and
clean. And out of His mouth goes a sharp saber sword, so that with it,
He should smite and strike the nations as a race. And He will rule and
supervise, to tend as a shepherd, them with a rod, a staff of royalty,
made of iron. And He treads and tramples the winepress of the
passionate fierceness, indignation and wrath of justifiable punishment
of the All Ruling, Absolute and Universal Sovereign, Almighty,
Omnipotent Deity; the very exceeding great God. And He has on the robe
of His vesture, apparel, clothes and on His thigh, a name, authority
and character, having been written: Sovereign King of Sovereign
Kings and Lord, Supreme One in Authority, Controller and Master of
Lords, Supreme One in Authority, Controller and Master. Revelation 19:14-16.
The 1,000 Year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ
And
I saw an angel descend from the sky of heaven, the eternal abode of
God, having the key of the lock of the depthless, infernal, abyss; the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he used strength to
seize and take hold on the dragon, that ancient, old serpent, which is
the Devil, a slanderer, even Satan,the Adversary and bound
him for a thousand years. And cast and threw him into the depthless,
infernal, abyss; the bottomless pit and closed, locked, shut him
up and set a mark of security and seal over him so that he should
not deceive the race of people any more until the thousand years
were finished. After these things, it is necessary for him to be let
loose a little season or for a space of time. And I saw a stately seat
of thrones and they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them; and
I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the
testimony and witness on the account of Jesus and on the account for
the Word of God; and who had not worshipped the beast; neither his
image of likeness; neither had received his mark or badge of servitude
upon their forehead or on their hand. And they lived and reigned with
Christ, the Anointed Messiah a thousand years. But the rest of the dead
lived not again, until the thousand years were completed and finished.
This is the first resurrection. Blessed and supremely fortunate is the
one who has a part in the first resurrection. On such the second
death has no power or privilege, over these; but they will be
priests of Deity; the very exceeding great God and of Christ, the
Anointed Messiah; and will reign and rule with Him for a thousand
years. Revelation 20:1-6.
After the 1,000 Years – Satan returns to the Earth
And
when the thousand years are ended, finished and expired; Satan,
the accuser and the Adversary, will be loosed out of his guarded
prison. And will go forth to roam to deceive, lead astray and
seduce the race of people from the truth, which are in the four
quarters of the land of the earth. Gog, the antichrist and Magog, an
antichristian party as a nation, to assemble and to gather them
together to a battle of warfare, the number of whom is as the sand of
the sea. And they went up on the broad plain of the land of
the earth and compassed, encircled and surrounded the camp and battle
array of the saints and the beloved city. And lightning fiery fire came
down from Deity; the very exceeding great God out of the sky of heaven
and devoured them. And the Devil, the slander that deceived and seduced
them was cast and thrown into the Lake of lightning fiery fire and
of sulfurous brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet, being
a religious imposter already are. And will be tormented and vexed
in pain day and night forever and ever, to the ages of the ages. Revelation 20:7-10.
The Great White Throne Judgment
And
I saw a great and mighty white stately seat and throne; and He, the
One who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled
away and was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before and in the presence of the One God. And the Books
of a Writing Scroll were opened. And another Book of a Writing Scroll
was opened, which is the Book of a Writing Scroll of Life. And
the dead were judged, condemned and punished out of those things which
were written in the Books of a Writing Scroll according to their works,
labor and act of deeds. And the sea gave up the dead who were in
it. And Death and Hades, the unseen place and state of departed souls,
delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, tried;
condemned and punished, every one according to their works, toil and
act of deeds. And Death and Hades, the unseen place of departed souls
were cast and thrown with intense violence into the Lake of lightning
fiery fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found
written in the Book of a Scroll of Writing was cast and thrown with
intense violence into the Lake of lightning fiery fire. Revelation 20:11-15.
The New Heaven and the New Earth
And
I saw a New Heaven in freshness and a New Earth in freshness, for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed away and perished. And the
sea did not exist any longer. And I, John, saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem in freshness, coming down from Deity; the very exceeding
great God, out of the sky of heaven prepared and made ready, in the
manner as a bride adorned, decorated and put in proper order for her
husband. And I heard an address of a great and mighty voice out of the
sky of heaven, the eternal abode of God, saying: Lo, See, Behold! The
tabernacle and habitation of Deity; the very exceeding great God is
with human beings. And He will dwell and reside as a symbol of
protection and communion with them and they will be His people and
Deity; the very exceeding great God Himself will be with them in
accompaniment and be their God. And He, the One God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes and there will be no more
death, neither sorrow, grief and mourning; nor an outcry of grief;
neither will there be any more pain of anguish, for the former
things are passed away and behind. And He who sat upon the stately
seat of the throne of power said: Lo, See, Behold! I am making all,
every, and the whole new in freshness. And He said to me:
Write, because these words and thoughts of reason are true,
trustworthy and faithful to believe. And He, the One said unto me,
It is done! I am the Alpha, the first and the Omega, the last and
finality; the Beginning and the End and uttermost. I will give to the
one who is thirsty of the fountain and source of the water of life
freely and gratuitously. The one who overcomes, conquers and
prevails with victory, will be an heir and obtain an inheritance of all
things and I will be that persons Deity; the very exceeding great God
and that one will be of My kinship. Revelation 21:1-7.
The Heavenly City – the Home of the Faithful
And
there came unto me, one of the seven angels who had the seven vials of
a broad shallow cup full of the seven plagues, stroke and calamities
and spoke with me, saying: Come here; I will show you the bride, the
wife of the Lamb. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great,
mighty and high, lofty mountain and showed me that great and mighty
city with walls, the Holy and Sacred Jerusalem descending out of the
origin of the sky of heaven, the eternal abode of God, from Deity; the
very exceeding great God. Having the glory, splendor and dignity
of Deity; the very exceeding great God and its brilliant
illuminating light was similar and in like manner to a stone most
precious and costly, even like the manner of a jasper gem stone,
resembling a clear ice crystal. And had a great high wall and
had twelve gateways and at the gateways, twelve angels and names of
authority and character written and inscribed upon them, which are the
names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. On the east three
gateways: on the north three gateways: on the south three gateways: and
on the west three gateways. And the wall of the walled-city had twelve
foundations and substructures; and on them, the names of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.And
he who spoke with me had a golden reed to measure the walled
city and the gateways thereof and the wall thereof. And the city laid
foursquare, four cornered and the length is as large as the width. And
he measured the walled city with the reed, twelve thousand
furlongs/stadia. The length and the width and the height of it are
equal. And he measured the wall thereof an hundred and forty and four
cubits according to the measure of a human being, that is, of the
angel. And the building and structure of the wall was of a jasper gem;
and the walled city was of clean, clear and pure gold, like the similar
manner of clean, clear, pure transparent glass. And the foundation
and substructure of the walled city were adorned and garnished in
proper order with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation and substructure was a jasper gem of transparent multicolor light; the second, a sapphire of blue, violet; the third, a greenish copper-like chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald, green gem; the fifth, a red sardonyx, the onyx stone; the sixth, an orange-red sardius gem; the seventh, a chrysolite, a golden-yellow gem; the eighth, a multicolor beryl of green, blue, yellow and red; the ninth, a topaz of, yellow, gray and reddish orange; the tenth, a chrysoprasus, a greenish golden-yellow gem; the eleventh, a hyacinth or jacinth, a deep blue gem, the zircon; the twelfth, the purple amethyst.
And the twelve gateways are twelve pearls, every several local
gateway was of one pearl. And the wide open street of the walled city
was clean, clear pure gold, as it was transparent glass. And I did
not see a temple or shrine in it; for the Lord, the One in Supreme
Authority, the Controller and Master; Deity; the very exceeding great
God, the All Ruling, Absolute and Universal Sovereign; the Almighty
Omnipotent One and the Lamb are the temple or shrine of it. And the
walled city had no need of the light of the sun, neither of the moon to
lighten or shine in it, for the glory of Deity; the very exceeding
great God, did illuminate, brighten up and shed rays in it and the Lamb
is the light of it. And the race of people of them who are
saved will live and walk in the light and illumination of it. And
the kings of the land of the earth will bring their glory and
worshipful praise and honor, with precious value into it. And the
gateway of it will by no means be shut or closed at all by
day, for there will no night there, not ever. And they will
bring glory and worshipful praise and the honor, with precious value of
the race of the people into it. And there will by no
means enter into it anything that is common, defiled, unclean or
unholy, neither whatsoever makes for an abomination or a detestable
idolatry or makes a falsehood of a lie; but only
those who having been written in the Lamb’s Book of the
Scroll of Writing of Life. Revelation 21:9-27.
The Throne of God
And
he showed me a clean, clear and pure, fresh river of water of life,
clear, bright and magnificent in appearance, as ice crystal, proceeding
out of the stately seat of the throne of power of Deity; the very
exceeding great God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the wide open
street of it and on both sides of the fresh river of water, there
was the Tree of substance of Life, which bare and produced
twelve manners of fruits and yielded its fruit every month. And
the sprouts and leaves of the tree of substance were for the medical
healing and attendance of the race of people of the nations. And
there will be no more curse. And the throne of power of
Deity; the very exceeding great God and of the Lamb will be in it
and His servants will serve and render religious homage to Him.
And they will see His face and appearance; and His name of
authority and character will be in their foreheads. And
there will be no night there and they will not
need candle or a portable light, neither the light of the
sunlight, because the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the
Controller and Master, the Deity; the very exceeding great God will
illuminate them with light to shed rays of brightness and
they will rule and reign forever and ever, to the ages of the
ages. Revelation 22:1-5.
Behold I Am Coming Quickly
And
he said unto me: These words and sayings are faithful, trustworthy and
true to believe. And the Lord, the One in Supreme Authority, the
Controller and Master, Deity; the very exceeding great God of the holy
and inspired, set apart prophets, sent His angel to show to His
servants the things which must be needful and shortly, in a brief
swift space of time be done and come into being. Lo, See, Behold!
I am coming quickly, swiftly, without delay, by a sudden surprise.
Blessed and supremely fortunate is the one who keeps and maintains
the words and sayings of the prophecy of scriptural prediction of this
Book and Scroll of Writing. And I, John, saw these things and gave
audience. And when I heard, and saw; I fell down to adore and worship
before the feet of the angel which did show me these things. Then he
said unto me: Take heed, you do not to it, for I am your fellow
servant and minister of the same Master and of your brethren, the
prophets, who were inspired speakers and of them which keep and
maintain the sayings and reason of thoughts of this Book of a Scroll of
Writing: adore, do reverence and worship Deity; the very exceeding
great God. And he said unto me: Do not seal in secret,
the sayings of reason of the prophecy and scriptural prediction of this
Book of a Scroll of Writing; for the time or occasion and opportunity
is at hand and near in time. The one who is actively morally
unjust, let the one be actively morally unjust still further; and the
one who is morally dirty and filthy, let the one be morally dirty
and filthy still further; and the one who is of equitable
character of righteousness, let the one be of equitable character of
righteousness still further; and the one who is morally and
religiously sacred and holy, let the one be morally and religiously
sacred and holy still further. And Lo, See,
Behold! I appear and am coming suddenly by surprise, quickly,
swiftly, without delay and My reward is with Me to give away to
everyone in the manner and according as the one's work, toil, acts and
deeds shall be lived of one’s personal self. I, the One am
Alpha, the First and the Beginning and Foremost and the Omega,
the End of the uttermost of place or time, the First power and the
Last continual ending. Blessed, supremely blessed and fortunate are
those who do His commandments, in order that they may have the
authority, the right and privilege to the substance of the Tree of Life
and may even so arise to enter through the gateway into the walled
city. For outside and without the doors, away and forth, are the dogs
(the morally impure, backsliders, false teachers, and heretics), and
the drug users, sorcerers, and the
fornicators, male prostitutes, whoremongers and the murderers
and whosoever, everyone, all who have an affection of love and
practices of a lie and falsehood. Revelation 22:6-15.
And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come
I Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the called out assemblies.
I am the root and the offspring of the Israelite King David and the
bright radiant early morning Star of the dawn. And the Spirit and the
bride say, Come to accompany! And let the one who hears with an
audience say, Come to accompany! And let the one who is thirsty
for, come to accompany. And whosoever delights in let the one take
to accompany of the water of life freely, gratuitously. For I testify
as to be a witness to everyone who hears to give audience to the
words and reasoning of thoughts of the prophecy and prediction of this
Scroll of Writing. If anyone adds or impose as a relation of
distribution to these things; Deity; the very exceeding great
God, will add unto that one, the plagues, stroke and
calamities having been written in this Scroll of Writing. And
if anyone takes away from the words and reason of thoughts of this
Scroll of Writing of this prophecy and prediction, Deity; the very
exceeding great God will take away that one’s part from
the Scroll of Writing of Life, and out of the sacred Holy
City of walls and from the things having been written in this
Scroll of Writing. He, the One who testifies, is a witness of
these things, says, Surely, Yes. I appear and am coming suddenly by surprise, swiftly, quickly and without delay.
Amen, even so, truth; Yes. Even so, come and accompany, Lord
Jesus. The grace and acceptable favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you all. Amen. Revelation 22:16-21.
As you can see from this study, individuals who have been spiritually saved by the grace of God, then, have been baptized properly and continue in the correct teachings of the New Testament within the called out local assemblies and make an effort to serve and worshipGod 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, butnot 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???
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!!!
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
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"???
