“Krakatoa”

    “God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth: the Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.

    The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet…….

    The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at His presence, yea, the world and all that dwell therein.”

                                                                          Nahum 1:2-5

INTRODUCTION

    The words, “volcano” or “volcanoes” is never found anywhere in the Bible.  However, the inspired Word speaks of the hills and mountains  melting three times in the Scriptures; Amos 9:5, 9:13, and Nahum 1:5.   What could this mean, other than being a  reference  to volcanoes?   Read these passages and decide for yourself. 

KRAKATOA

     In writing  this study, I ask our readers to bear with me for I no longer have all of the detailed information about Krakatoa which I once had.  I once had a file on Krakatoa, setting forth every detail about it.  But my file was ruined by water damage several years ago and was discarded.  Therefore, in this study, I am setting forth only the major details which I remember.  I am writing this study in view of what is happening in the Canary Islands off the coast of Portugal, even as I write.

KRAKATOA IN HISTORY

    In past history, Krakato was supposedly an “extinct” volcano, which probably had it’s beginning at some point following the flood in the days of Noah.  It had shown no signs of activity for centuries, and therefore was regarded as being “extinct.”  Isn’t is strange that a number of volcanoes mankind has regarded as being “extinct” have suddenly roared back into life, by suddenly erupting  during the past two hundred years?

    One of those volcanoes was Krakatoa.  It was a large mountain located  on the island of Krakatoa.   Suddenly, at some point,, I believe it was in the 1800’s, this ancient volcanoe began shaking all over, and then began  erupting.  I don’t remember the exact dates. 

   But a short time after erupting, Krakato suddenly EXPLODED.  It was such a violent explosion that it destroyed the entire island on which it was located.  Historians say that the sound of the explosion was so loud that it was reportedly heard 3,000 miles away.

    The sudden explosion of Krakatoa created giant tidal waves in the ocean around it.  These tidal waves reportedly had some effect on the coast lines of sea coast nations around the world.   At the time, it was estimated that 35,000 people were killed by the explosion, and the tidal waves which followed.   There likely would have been many more, except at that time in history, the coastal areas were not populated with as many people as they are today. 

     This is about all  the general information I can recall without my file on Krakatoa.  But today as I write, there is…….

A COUNTERPART

    A few weeks ago the supposedly “extinct” La Palma volcanoe in the Canary Islands off the coast of Portugal began erupting.  This volcanoe has been the object of study by volcanologists for many years.  Some 15 years ago (or more), I read a fascinating article about this supposedly “extinct” volcano.  In a computer analysis of the information obtained by geologists about La Palma, it was determined that the volcano was not “extinct” at all, but was only temporarily “dormant.”  The scientists knew back then, that at sometime in the future, La Palma would begin erupting again, and with disasterous results.  From careful examination by  geologists and other scientists, it was determined that a vast cauldron of molten fire and lava was located deep in the earth beneath La Palma.  This resulted in La Palma being classified as one of the “super” volcanoes located on the earth’s surface. 

    It was also determined that a crack in the side of La Palma, was slowly opening , beginning from the top and descending down the side towards sea level.  The scientists determined that when this crack reached sea level, sea water would begin pouring into the fiery magma chamber, and would be turned into steam.  This trapped steam would build up high pressure until, at some point, the entire volcano would EXPLODE with a force not known by mankind at that time..  Running this information through a computer, the computer determined that such an explosion would create giant tidal waves in the ocean, unlike anything mankind living today has ever seen.  The computer projection was that these giant tidal waves would strike the east coast of America, and many other sea coast nations,, and would cause massive death and destruction.  I emphasize that this information was known by scientists 15 years (or more) ago. 

THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN

    This information was just too good an opportunity for Satan and his followers to miss.  Why did La Palma go into eruption right at this time in human history; the “last days,” or “ end times.” according to inspired Bible prophecy?  Why at this particular time?  I suggest the New World Order’s plan for reducing the population of mankind upon the earth.   

    I have recently received reports that scientists have been bombarding La Palma with sound waves for several years.  I have no way of verifying these reports, so readers can decide for themselves the validity and importance of them.   These sound waves were designed to move or liquefy the interior of La Palma, causing it to begin erupting.  According to the reports I received, the sound waves are now being directed downward into the interior of the earth beneath La Palma, with the intention of building up steam pressure beneath the volcano until it EXPLODES. 

    If this report is true (?), then it certainly fits the time frame laid out in God’s prophetic Word for the soon coming Tribulation period.  It would also explain why the Lord’s coming to resurrect and rapture His church and believing people is right at the doors, Mattrhew 24:32-33.  The Lord promised His church and people that he would never agqain bring upon them such a burden as they were under during the “Dark Ages,” Revelation 2:24; 3:10.   The Lord always keeps His promises! 

LOOK UP!

     Dear reader, if you are a true believer, then look up and be found faithfully watching, as our  Lord instructed, Mark 13:34-37; Luke 12:37.    Our deliverance from this present evil world is right at the doors, Galatians 1:4; Matthew 24:32-33. 

    No!  I do not know the date of our Lord’s coming, and I am not setting a date.  I just know that it will be SOON.  That means it could be today as you read this study; or tomorrow, or within th next few days or weeks; but it will happen SOON.  Will you be ready? 

    I leave our readers with this thought!  Titus 2:11-15. 

<<<<<<<       O       >>>>>>>

Dear readers,

     I have a simple request.  I am 87 years of age, and almost blind.  Even using a magnifying glass, I can hardly see the screen on my computer.  I have great problems writing out Bible studies, yet I cannot find a place to quit, Jeremiah 20:9.  I make no claim to being a Jeremiah, but like him, I can find no place to stop.  My request…..

    It would be a great blessing to me, when a reader sends me an email, if they would send it in bold print, and even an enlarged font if it is not too much trouble.  And a prayer for the Lord to restore my eyesight would sure be appreciated. 

     God bless you all.  In the love of Christ Jesus,
