Luke 21:11"And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."
A major eruption of Katla could indeed catapult into our atmoshpere some fearful sights! The resulting aftermath of such an eruption would effectively cause both famines and pestilences during the following months.
The larger and more dangerous Katla volcano in Iceland has actually been showing signs of unrest since 1999. The long dormant and smaller, less volatile Eyjafjallajökull continues to erupt and to date shows no indications that the eruption is ending.
The last time that Eyjafjallajökull erupted it lasted two years and therefore there can be no historical certainty as to the duration or intensity of its eruption.
What is certain is that in the historical record of the past 1,000 years, all three known eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull have triggered subsequent eruptions of Katla. Within a period of six months after Eyjafjallajökull's previous eruptions, Katla followed suit but with eruptions of up to 10 times worse worldwide devastation.
Knowing this, we can see that the world will have to wait many,many months before breathing a collective sigh of relief that we have "dodged the bullet" of the cataclysmic effects of the BIG sister, Katla!
