Apocalyptic Hope
 

 

Joel 2: 31; Acts 2:20; and Rev. 6:12 is soon to be fulfilled.
The sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn blood red
"
BEFORE the great and terrible day of the LORD come"

Revelation 8:12 tells us that 1/3 of our daylight will be diminished.

"I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
Amos 8: 9 and Amos 5: 8; and Matthew 24:29;
and
Isaiah 13:10; and Ezekiel 32:7; and Joel 2:10.

Because of idolatry ... " they sacrificed unto devils, not to God;
to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

Of the ROCK that begat thee thou art unmindful, and
hast forgotten God that formed thee ...
For a fire is kindled in Mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell,
and shall consume the earth with her increase,
and set on fire the foundation of the mountains"
Deuteronomy 32: 17--22

Even pagans know that " the gods " are angry when a volcano flares.
How much more can we so discern who know the Living God, our ROCK.

Introduction:
Scientists note extreme disturbance in earth's core and mantel -- Feb. 24, 2005

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

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

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

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

Undersea Volcanoes -- nearly 70 % are undersea

Many underwater sea volcanoes are erupting simultaneously -- March 2005

The tectonic plate movements especially under the oceans have gone up by many times. Andaman Nicobar Island now is experiencing under water volcanoes in Indian ocean and Bay of Bengal.
In America North West is experiencing unprecedented level of small earthquakes and under water volcanoes.
Seattle and Oregon are experiencing heavy levels of tectonic disturbance.
Underwater volcanoes are being reported in Australia, Greece, New Zealand and many other countries.
Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula is experiencing double volcanoes of large sizes.
According some geologists, there are not enough monitoring mechanisms for knowing the number of under water volcanoes

Most Navies are experiencing changing under water topologies all over the world. The recent American submarine accident caused by under water ridges never mapped before and many other reports from other navies just confirm the fact that there are massive tectonic movements under the oceans that we are not observing.

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

Brimstone Pit
-- Mariana Trench (Far Pacific )
We were seeing billowing clouds coming up and turning yellow. There was sulfur and rocks were flying out,” said Embley, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. “We realized we were the first to witness a deep-sea volcano during an eruptive episode.”
The material from the eruption is still being studied. It was highly caustic, Embley said, damaging the camera lenses even though the robotic submarine was quickly backed away from the volcano.
The volcano, with a rim 1,800 feet below the sea surface, was named “Brimstone Pit” by the scientists.

Nearly 70 percent of the world's volcanoes are undersea, Embley said in a telephone interview.
“Out there on our own planet there are volcanoes erupting under the ocean, putting chemicals into the ocean, interchanging gases (into the water and air), affecting biology. We should know about these things,” Embley said.

ALASKA -- 60 active volcanoes

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

Veniaminof is one of the biggest and most active volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc and has erupted 12 times in the past 200 years, according to the observatory.
The other stirring volcano is Mount Spurr, an 11,070-foot (3,374-meter) peak about 80 miles west of Anchorage. Small earthquakes beneath Spurr began last summer have intensified over the last week or so, Eichelberger said. The activity has included an emission of heat that has created a lake from some of the snow and ice near the summit, he said

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

Yellowstone : Time bomb under America -- Nov. 10, 2007

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

Largest volcano on the planet --huge potential --
March 2004
A major earthquake will suddenly rock their towns for hundreds of kilometers around Yellowstone, and soon thereafter 1,000+ degree pyroclastic flows will descend on them at hundreds of miles per hour, extending out to 600+ km.
That 600 km radius around the caldera will experience total devastation. The next 600 km out may receive as much as 5-10 feet of ash, depending on wind direction. The thickness of ash will decrease away from the super-volcano, but will reach the crop belt in the Midwest (Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, etc

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

Yellowstone "breathing" already --
Oct. 7, 2003 (NY Times ..picture included)
"Yellowstone is one of the most seismically active places on the planet"
The whole of the Yellowstone Plateau is going up and down from the magma," averaging one and a half centimeters a year, said Dr. Robert B. Smith, a professor of geophysics at the University of Utah and a member of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. "It's like a living, breathing thing."

One question that occupies geologists is how the caldera affects fault lines and vice versa. Five major faults terminate in the molten caldera, and even far-flung events can shake the earth here. In November 2002, a magnitude 7.9 quake in Denali National Park in Alaska rippled through the region, leading to more than 500 other quakes that Dr. Smith watched simultaneously on a computer in Utah.
"The whole of Yellowstone lit up like a Christmas tree,"

A Monster Awakens ---
Sept. 12, 2003
Lurking beneath Yellowstone National Park is
one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world: a massive supervolcano.

Only a handful exist in the world, but when one erupts the explosion will be heard around the globe. The sky will darken, black acid rain will fall, and the Earth will be plunged into the equivalent of a nuclear winter. It could push humanity to the brink of extinction.

Bill McGuire, professor of geohazards at the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College London, says that America's Yellowstone Park is one of the largest and most dangerous supervolcanoes in the world. "The Yellowstone volcano can be likened to a sleeping dragon," says Professor McGuire, "whose slow breathing brings repeated swelling and sinking of the Earth's crust in northern Wyoming and southern Montana."

The impact of a Yellowstone eruption is terrifying to comprehend." says Professor McGuire. "Magma would be flung 50 kilometres into the atmosphere. Within a thousand kilometres virtually all life would be killed by falling ash, lava flows and the sheer explosive force of the eruption. One thousand cubic kilometres of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole of the USA with a layer 5 inches thick. The explosion would be the loudest noise heard by man for 75,000 years."

we may well be on the brink of the biggest catastrophe the modern world has ever witnessed.

Yellowstone
http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/Yellowstone/description_yellowstone.html

Quoting WAB:
"Yellowstone Park is building for a major eruption according to many earthquake experts.  The US Park Service is trying to keep a lid on the problem to avoid public panic, but the threat appears real.  If Yellowstone erupts, another mountain would be born in Wyoming, and the ash spewed out would be much greater than that of Mt. St. Helens in Washington. 
The plume of ash would cover a large portion of the Midwest. 
How dangerous is the threat?  Hard to say, but strange things are already happening in the region.  There are reports of areas being closed off, ground swelling upward, and many animals and fish dying from to the increase in sulfur and other vapors. -- Joel Skousen WAB Sept. 12, 2003

-Yellowstone -- Sept. 9, 2003
A major earthquake will suddenly rock their towns for hundreds of kilometers around Yellowstone, and soon thereafter 1,000+ degree pyroclastic flows will descend on them at hundreds of miles per hour, extending out to 600+ km.
That 600 km radius around the caldera will experience
total devastation.

The next 600 km out may receive as much as 5-10 feet of
ash, depending on wind direction. The thickness of ash will decrease away from the super-volcano, but will reach the crop belt in the Midwest (Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, etc.), destroying most of the fertile croplands of the United States. California will be hit hard by falling ash, with its central wine valley severely damaged (the French will love it). Agriculture will have to shift east of the Mississippi for years. The Garden State will once again live up to its name.


In northern Idaho you will have to contend with several feet of ash and isolation. Roads will be closed. Power will be out. Phones will be out. Communication will depend on Ham radios and local stations that have generators. Rescue will take weeks or months. Some areas will never see rescue teams. The survivalists will be best prepared to make it through the difficult months following the eruption.

Strange Eruption in Yellowstone--March 26, 2003
Reports of eruptions at Steamboat started in 1878, when witnesses said huge rocks blasted into the air as the geyser exploded.
It erupted more frequently over the next several decades, sometimes shooting water 40 to 50 feet in the air, sometimes 300 feet. The geyser was dormant between 1911 and 1961 and then erupted three times in 1989, once in 1990, 1991 and 2000 and then twice in 2002.
Like other geyser enthusiasts, Heasler is searching for any kind of pattern in Steamboat's strange behavior.
''We had one last April 26 and now one on March 26. Is a pattern beginning to develop? Will we have another one in the fall? We just don't know,'' he said. ''I'm just very, very pleased that Steamboat has become a little more active.'' AP-WS-03-28-03 1059EST http://www.trib.com/AP/wire_detail.php?wire_num=37823

"Super Volcanoe" to strike eventually....Aug 9-2001
Watch Yellowstone and Oregon Bulge; remember TOBA
Sooner or later, geologists warn, a "super volcano" will strike.
The eruption of pent-up energy
will cover half the United States in ash, in some places up to 3 feet (1 meter) deep.....
Reflecting devices, similar to those left on the Moon, are stationed at various points on the mountain. From miles away, researchers bounce lasers off the mirrors. If they have moved, the laser beam shifts.

Volcanic build up in Pacific North West
- --July 23, 2003
Solar flares increasing the pressure
A larger pressure system is pushing the Earth to its limit.  Most likely, from Earth’s internal engine forces recently fueled by a series of strong solar flares.
Like a municipal waterworks that has gone inexplicably berserk, the Sun has been pumping incredible amounts of energy into the solar system.
The result is that in the process of absorbing this added energy, the pressures without our planet may be reaching a dramatic climax!

If these natural pressures that are now building below the mantle of our planet as monitored by Larry Park’s equipment do not abate , they will overload our plant’s natural corrective mechanism and force a cataclysmic surface event with a magnitude far greater than any other event in recorded history.
Now here comes the hard part.  While scientists tend to predict in faraway numbers like “sometime in the next thousand years,” Larry’s instruments are detecting a trend that could culminate in a cataclysmic surface event sometime within the next 18 to 24 months, and in his update, he tells us how to recognize the precursor events.

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

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

Mt. Rainier [Washington State] and American Volcanos

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

Of course, volcanoes unpredictably express themselves in several ways: Rainier could blow, or flow, or both. One danger is a ground-hugging avalanche of incandescent rock (as hot as 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit), ash, and gas racing downhill at 80 miles an hour. In

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

Mt. Lassen--largest plugged dome
Mount Lassen is actually the largest plug dome volcano in the world. This means that magma wells up deep inside the mountain and becomes plugged which causes great pressure to build up, which eventually results in dramatic explosions.

Lassen National Park covers about 106,000 acres. There are several other relatively tall mountains besides the 10,457 foot Lassen Peak. Prospect Peak is 8,338, and Mount Harkness is 8,045. Both of these mountains are volcanoes and there are trails leading to both summits

NEW YORK CITY , Volcanoes and Tsunamis ...
reveals the extent and size of the mega-tsunami, the consequence of a giant landslide that may be triggered by a future eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano. ...
The greatest effects are predicted to occur north, west and south of the Canaries. ....
Florida and the Caribbean, the final destinations in the North Atlantic to be affected by the tsunami, will have to brace themselves for receiving 50 metre high waves - higher than Nelson's column in London, some 8 to 9 hours after the landslide.

Towards Europe waves heights will be smaller, but substantial tsunami waves will hit the Atlantic coasts of Britain, Spain Portugal and France.

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

HILO » Loihi seamount, the small underwater volcano off the southeastern coast of the Big Island, experienced a swarm of 45 small earthquakes Tuesday night and yesterday morning, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
The biggest, with a magnitude of 4.7, was also apparently the deepest at 17 miles. Another was magnitude 4.0. A third earthquake during that time had a magnitude of 4.2, but it was on the Big Island near the lava flow area, unrelated to
the Loihi swarm.

Hundreds of people with houses near Montserrat's volcano will have limited access to their homes Saturday for the first time since they were ordered to evacuate nine months ago.
The governor of the British Caribbean island announced the decision Friday, saying the volcano is less dangerous following the collapse of its lava dome last weekend.
The collapse released large plumes of ash and sent flows of superheated rocks and debris down the slopes of the Soufriere Hills volcano.

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

"There are 79 volcanoes which need to be closely-watched and they are being monitored by all observation posts," vulcanologist Wimpy S. Cecep, told the New Straits Times

Anak Krakatau, the "child" of the legendary Krakatoa which erupted in 1883, triggering a massive tsunami which killed tens of thousands, was put on alert yesterday after 32 tremors rattled the volcano's crater.
Cecep said the two volcanoes were unlikely to blow-up on a large scale to spew ash over a large area.

Mega volcano threatens Sumatra Islands-- April 21, 2005
Volcanic activities in the region during the past week have signaled an eminent mega volcano ...
It is noteworthy that this area is just on the opposite side in the globe from the “Yellow Stone Hot Spot”[ Wyoming]
in America.
ash and dark smoke started pouring out of Mount Karthala on the main island of Grand Comore, then hours later lava was spotted on its east and southeastern slopes
The volcano is overdue for an eruption. Mount Karthala erupts about every 11 years, but its last significant activity was in 1991.
The Comoros are located in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Mozambique.

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

Highest active volcano in the world in Chile
Nevados Ojos del Salado

This question is a bit of a controversy.   At 22,560 feet (6,887 m) Ojos del Salado, a stratovolcano, is often considered the world's highest active volcano. The problem is that no historic eruptions have been recorded, although fumaroles are active at the summit. The absence of recorded historic eruptions may be due to the volcano's remote location more than a lack of eruptions.
If you feel you need a recorded eruption to consider a volcano active, then we move on to others. For years Cotopaxi was the world's highest active volcano, however Chile's Tupungato (21,489 ft.) is a higher mountain, and awakened from its dormancy with an eruption in 1986.

"Fountains of the deep" in Noah's Day by William Harper (interesting !)
For anyone who has read these articles about the supervolcanoes, do the descriptions remind you of the great flood of Noah at all?  When I was reading the first one, I was reminded of the verses
  Genesis 7:11
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. "
(Whole Chapter: Genesis 7 In context: Genesis 7:10-12) Genesis 8:2

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
(Whole Chapter: Genesis 8 In context: Genesis 8:1-3)  
......   Maybe that 'fountains of the deep' was the 'waters' inside the earth, read, volcanoes!??
