THE OTHER VOLCANIC SHOE IS ABOUT TO DROP-KATLA IS AWAKENING!!
Please see the previous blog entry detailing the catastrophic results ensuing after an eruption of Katla.
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-may-mean-end-of-world-as-we-know.html
Below are recent headlines warning that an eruption of Katla is now imminent:
"Katla, which translates as the kettle, has a crater three times as big as the Eyjafjallajokull volcano which erupted in March and April, causing travel chaos."
"Fears over Katla grew yesterday when a report by scientists warned it is "close to failure" - a term indicating an imminent eruption."
"The report added: "We conclude that, given the high frequency of Katla activity, an eruption in the short term is a strong possibility."
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/2010/05/29/ash-cloud-chaos-could-return-as-second-volcano-gets-ready-to-erupt-86908-22294598/
"A second, much larger volcano (Katla) in Iceland is showing signs that it may be about to erupt, scientists have warned. "
"A report from University College London is pointing towards a near term eruption of Iceland's giant volcano".
"The President of Iceland has also cautioned against an imminent eruption saying that Europe, its governments, and its airline industry needs to prep."
http://www.neurosoftware.ro/finance/insurance/economy/map-of-the-day-is-katla-ready-to-erupt-and-bring-europe-to-its-knees-again/
"An initial research paper by the University College of London Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction said: "Analysis of the seismic energy released around Katla over the last decade or so is interpreted as providing evidence of a rising ... intrusive magma body on the western flank of the volcano."
"Earlier seismic energy release at Katla is associated with the inflation of the volcano, which indicates it is close to failure."
"We conclude that given the high frequency of Katla activity, an eruption in the short term is a strong possibility," the report said. "It is likely to be preceded by new earthquake activity."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37371442/ns/world_news-europe
It appears that due to the movement and pressure of active magma that Katla has actually become misshapened with a noticeable rising on the western flank.
This, combined with recent seismic activity at Katla, indicates precursor events of a volcanic eruption.
Please note from the previous blog entry that historically, every time that Eyjafjallajökull has erupted that Katla has always followed suit.
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/eruption-of-katla-has-always-followed.html
Eyjafjallajökull has been geothermally
active for several months (beginning mid March 2010) means that it has been continously contributing to the melting of the Mýrdalsjökull icecap covering Katla.
Therefore, this continous eruption of Eyjafjallajökull has served to gradually melt the ice cap covering Katla which was one of the only factors preventing Katla from "blowing her top".
Noteworthy is the fact that Eyjafjallajökull has ejected only ash plumes during her eruptions.
So, it is reasonable to wonder where all the magma is going since only ash plumes have resulted from Eyjafjallajökull's extensive geothermal activity.
This may be easily explained by the following facts:
Eyjafjallajökull and Katla, though twelve miles apart, are thought to be connected by a series of magma chambers and this may possibly be the reason that Katla has ALWAYS erupted at some interval subsequent to an eruption of Eyjafjallajökul.
It is therefore conceivable that during these past months of Eyjafjallajökull's intense volcanic activity that the magma has instead been moving through the interconnecting chambers, routed towards Katla. As it enters the crater of Katla, it would result in a build up of both magma and pressure.
This would also explain why Eyjafjallajökull has only spat out ash during its eruptions, with no magma released as the magma has instead been rerouted towards Katla.
This would also elucidate why there is a rising in Katla's surface as well as her recent seismic (earthquake) activity.
As explained in the following linked blog entries, an eruption of Katla may mean the end of the world as we know it. The cloud of ash it would produce could plunge the world into a nuclear winter and change the climate just as its last eruption did in 1783:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-may-mean-end-of-world-as-we-know.html
"According to scientists, a major volcano eruption in Iceland might cause the temperatures all over Europe and in the northern parts of USA to drop dramatically. At the moment experts fear another eruption at the nearby volcano, Katla. When Katla went of last time, in the 1700′s, it sent the whole world into an extended deep freeze."

Please note that earthquake/seismic and volcanic/geothermal activity go hand in hand as they are interrelated.
Jesus told us to watch for increased earthquake activity indicating the nearness of the end of the age.
As such, we know that increased volcanic activity is also the fulfillment of the forewarning by Jesus in the Gospels to watch for "earthquakes in divers places".
These are all the "beginnings of sorrows" that Jesus warned us to be watchful for
that would lead up to the soon coming 7 year Tribulation period.
Mark 13:8 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
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."
The eruption of Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, shut down air traffic all over Europe and to date, it is continuing as smaller plumes have snarled traffic all the way to Turkey. Current news reveals that the volcano may continue sending ash across Europe, ceasing the flow of flights in the region potentially through the summer or longer.
"Europe's travelers ponder a summer turning to ash
DUBLIN — It's been a month now, and Iceland's volcano shows no sign it will stop belching ash across Europe anytime soon. A whole continent is rethinking its summer vacation plans — and struggling airlines are wondering how to cope in the cloud of uncertainty."
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iUxHXkUVC1z6ZW2zVsbcafyZxivAD9FLTC680
This eruption of Eyjafjallajökull is wreaking economic havoc on the airline industry as well as the many businesses that depend on it. This aspect alone could cause the collapse of the global economy.
Respiratory ailments that may ensue across the hemisphere as a result of the silica in the ash plumes are a very real possiblity, so Eyjafjallajökull is capable of much depredation.
An important point to remember is that Eyjafjallajökull has a BIG sister, Katla. Please see recent blog entries regarding the likelihood of Katla's eruption as well as its potentially devastating effects:
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-may-mean-end-of-world-as-we-know.html
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-can-blow-up-to-six-months-after.html
Note the sobering warning in the below article, by the renowned vulcanologist that "'The explosive activity of Kalta can be 100 times more" regarding the recent eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland.
"It has been forecast that the volcano will go rumbling on for several weeks or months.
"But even as the latest eruption subsides, magma is circulating, making him and his team fear that it could erupt again at a different spot.His first concern on hearing of this week's eruption, however, was for the people living in the shadow of the "dangerous nearby volcano".
The worst scenario, he said, would be for Eyjafjoell's eruption to spark another in a fierce neighbouring volcano, Katla.
'The explosive activity of Katla can be 100 times more,' he warned."
http://www.france24.com/en/20100418-eruption-strands-iceland-volcano-expert-paris
Notable is the fact that an eruption by Katla has always been preceded by the much less threatenting Eyjafjallajökull's activity (Katla has always followed suit).
If little sis, Eyjafjallajökull, can cause so much damage and loss, just think what will happen when big sister, Katla, blows her top!
It is time to draw near to the Lord, for He alone is our strong tower!!
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
NOTICE THAT MOST OF THESE UNSTABLE VOLCANOES ARE PAST DUE FOR ERUPTIONS!
With the increasing seismic acitivty in all the divers places currently occuring and increasing as do birth pains, just as prophesied by Jesus, these treacherous volcanoes could be easily awakened. It is important to remember that earthquakes and volcanoes go hand in hand as volcanoes can cause earthquakes and earthquakes can precipitate volcanic eruptions.
Matthew 24:7 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Mark 13:8 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
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."
"6 volcanoes that could shut down the world"
"Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull wreaked havoc on European air travel, but it could have been worse. Much, much,much worse!
"Some worst-case volcanic scenarios could create mass destruction."
"The eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull caused billions of dollars in economic damage, and left millions of travelers stranded. But on the Volcanic Explosivity Index — volcanologists' tool for rating the severity of an eruption — the event rated only a two out of a possible eight. More severe eruptions cause "death and destruction" on a planetary basis, points out Simon Winchester in The Guardian. "They can darken skies and cause devastating changes in the weather. They can and do bring about the abrupt end to the existence of entire populations of animals and people" — not to mention economic damages that could run into the trillions. Here are six volcanoes worth fearing:
1. KATLA (Iceland)
Last erupted: 1918
Effects of a major eruption: If Katla goes off, its eruption will be 10 times stronger than Eyjafjallajokull's. Katla's larger ash plume would shoot higher in the air and spread over larger areas of Europe for a longer period, with much more devastating effects on air travel and economic trade. An eruption could tip Europe's economy — perhaps even the world's — back into severe recession or a depression.
Likelihood: Fairly high. The two volcanoes, only 12 miles apart, tend to erupt in tandem, and Katla is slightly overdue in its 80-year cycle."
Please see the following previous blog entries detailing the potential eruption of Katla:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/katla-may-mean-end-of-world-as-we-know.html
"2. CUMBRE VIEJA (La Palma, Canary Islands)
Last erupted: 1971
Effects of a major eruption: In 2001, U.S. and British scientists warned that a major eruption of Cumbre Vieja could cause the enire western flank of the volcano to fall into the sea, creating a "mega-tsunami" in the Atlantic. Traveling at 500 miles per hour, it would wipe out Florida, coastal Brazil, and parts of Europe with waves up to 160-feet high.
Likelihood: The scientists say the "year to year probability" of a major eruption is low, but preparations should be taken anyway given the potentially cataclysmic damages.
3. MT. VESUVIUS (Italy)
Last erupted: 1944
Effects of major eruption: Famous for wiping out Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 A.D., Vesuvius would do much greater damage today. About 3 million people live near the volcano, 600,000 of them in the "red zone." An eruption would kill at least 8,000 people and cause more than $24 billion worth of damage, according to Willis Research Network, which just named Vesuvius the most dangerous volcano in Europe. The ash would change weather patterns in Europe and leave the Naples area a "lifeless desert."
Likelihood: Scientists say Vesuvius is overdue for an explosion.
4. POPOCATÉPETL (Mexico)
Last erupted: 2000
Effects of a major eruption: The third-tallest active volcano in the Northern Hemisphere, Popocatépetl is only 40 miles west of Mexico City and its 18 million inhabitants, and 30 miles east of Puebla, a city of two million. A large eruption could send deadly mudslides into the populous valleys below, creating "catastrophic" loss of life.
Likelihood: After an 80-year dormant period, Popocatépetl is showing signs of activity.5. MT. TAMBORA (Sumbawa, Indonesia)
Last erupted: 1967
Effects of a major eruption: Tambora erupted in spectacular fashion in 1815 and changed weather patterns around the globe, causing "frosts in Italy in June and snows in Virginia in July, and the failure of crops in immense swaths across Europe and the America." The blow-up killed more than 71,000 people directly, and many more through famine and sickness.
Likelihood: Tambora is still active and, given its history and Indonesia's 222 million inhabitants, closely monitored.
6. YELLOWSTONE "SUPERVOLCANO" (U.S.)
Last erupted: 640,000 years ago
Effects of a major eruption: When the Yellowstone Caldera, or "supervolcano," in Yellowstone National erupts again, it will render a huge swath of North America, from Vancouver to Oklahoma City, uninhabitable. It would have incalculable human and economic consequences. The last eruption of similar magnitude — 73,000 years ago in Sumatra — plunged the entire planet into a decade-long volcanic winter and nearly wiped out the human race.
Likelihood: Geologists see signs that it could be preparing for another major blowout soon, although "soon" could mean thousands of years."
http://theweek.com/article/index/202164/6_volcanoes_that_could_shut_down_the_world
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!
Please see the previous blog entry regarding the last occurrence of Katla's eruption and the worldwide consequences created by her:
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/03/iceland-volcano-could-have-world.html
Just sharing a British bloggers plausibile sounding scientific scenario about when the other volcanic shoe drops over in Iceland!
Katla's eruption could well be the fulfillment of these Scriptures:
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
Revelation 6:12 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;".
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-aint-seen-or-heard-nothing-yet.html
"It will start with a huge explosion below the glacier that sits on top of the volcano. This explosion will be loud, if ‘loud’ is a strong enough word. Possibly the loudest sound ever heard on earth was emitted by Krakatoa in 1883. It was certainly much louder than the loudest nuclear explosion, and was heard 3,000 miles away, with people up to 200 miles distant being struck instantly deaf. There is, therefore, a fair chance that we will get to hear Katla above the roar of party political broadcasts. The crater will crack open, the glacier will fall into the billions of tons of lava and a crazy mixture of lava, ice, steam, ash, gas and molten rock will pour out down towards the sea and up towards the stratosphere.
This will cause trouble. Billions of cubic tons of lava will make the sea boil, surge and swell across the North Atlantic. Billions of cubic tons of ash, molten rock and quintillions of tons of volcanic gases will make a sizeable mess of the landscape, seascape and skyscape. Nothing will fly over Europe. Not even birds. Insects? Forget it. We will be gassed in our cellars to which we will have retreated after the opening salvo. Over the next few months, we will be buried under about 100 metres of volcanic ash.
We have one chance. Wind direction. Although the prevailing winds will probably take it to us, now and again, the circulation of winds will head everything West, that is, towards the US and Canada. Obviously if the eruption happens while the winds are westerly that would be fine. We’d be laughing. Until you remember that there’s always Etna, Vesuvius and Stromboli to our East. "
Please check out this second blog link for excellent info from a prophetic and scientific standpoint regarding what may soon be coming with an eruption of Katla:
http://the-end-time.blogspot.com/2010/04/of-volcanoes-dry-fog-and-sun-as.html
Volcanoes and earthquakes continue to increase-many are wondering if this is the end of the world!!
Many in the Europe are experiencing "end of the world" conditions! However, in America, we are still actively pursuing our recreation, fun and pleasure! What will it take America to "shake" us awake?!
Volcanic ash is grounding flights as it spreads all over Europe.The Icelandic volcano causing this has been known to erupt for as long as a year. Think of what hazardous health conditions are happening as well what will happen to the global economy if this continues. Without the capability of air travel, there could be global economic collapse!
The sister volcano, Katla could cause a nuclear winter worldwide and historically she has subsequently erupted after her sister, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano .There is an ice cap over Katla that when melted will cause the melt to rise as with removing an cork from a champagne bottle. The eruption of Katla would also lead to flooding and famine as well as the possible release of poison gases across areas of Europe.
Also currently being reported as of today, April 17, 2010, is that scientists are now wondering the following about the possiblity of the great increase in "Utah Earthquakes Leading Up to Volcanic Action in Yellowstone?"
The below link makes the point that "whenever there is a seismic event in the Mountain West, it's a pretty good bet the Yellowstone National Park caldera is involved.". The Yellowstone Caldera is a super volcano that is so massive that an eruption could have the possibility of destroying America. So it appears as if Yellowstone is stirring as well! Jesus told us to watch for these signs and they are now here!
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERS PLACES.
http://beforeitsnews.com/news/33940/Utah_Earthquakes_Leading_Up_to_Volcanic_Action_in_Yellowstone_Scientists_Wonder.html
JUST IN, another major earth quake -6.3 in Papua New Guinea so this is the 4th major quake in the past 7 days.( There have been two 6.3's and a 6.8 and a 6.9). There is also increased seismic activity in California that is astounding!
Will it take California tumbling into the sea or the New Madrid to split American into two or perhaps even Yellowstone's destruction of much of the United States for people to finally take off the blinders and see where we are on God's prophetic timeline?!!
IS ANYBODY WAKING UP TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THIS increased SEISMIC/GEOTHERMAL ACTIVITY ARE THE BIRTH PAINS THAT JESUS TOLD US TO WATCH FOR? AS THEY CONTINUE, AS BIRTH PAINS DO, IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE THEM ANYMORE! WE ARE AT THE END OF THE AGE!
IT IS TIME TO SEPARATE FROM THIS WORLD AS THINGS ARE GOING TO DETERIORATE AND LIFE IS NOT GOING TO BE NORMAL OR SATISFYING MUCH LONGER! IT IS TIME WE QUIT LOVING THIS LIFE ON EARTH SO FERVENTLY AND REALIZE THAT THIS LIFE IS NOT WHAT IT IS ABOUT! ETERNITY IS ALL THAT COUNTS!!
Luke 9:2 4For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
John 12:25 Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.
Therefore, may we loosen our grips on the worldly allures of our earthly lives so we can be saved for eternity!
THE LORD MAY MERCIFULLY REMOVE ALL THE WORLDLY DISTRACTIONS THAT ARE SO SATISFYING TO MANY. HE MAY, BY ALLOWING THE WORLD TO CONTINUE TO SPIRAL TO WHERE IT IS NO LONGER NORMAL, in order to get His children to ENTIRELY LET GO OF THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD AND FOCUS SOLELY ON HIM!!!
KEEP WATCHING AS THE BIRTH PAINS CONTINUE AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORSEN AS GOD IS PROVIDING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE THAT HE IS COMING SOON BY CONCRETE FULFILLMENT of the SIGNS HE COMMANDED US TO WATCH FOR!
CHRISTIANS, IT IS PAST TIME FOR US TO START OBEYING HIS COMMANDS AND WATCH AND PRAY!!!
Luke 21:Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Anyone who has not accepted the pardon of sin through the blood of of the Savior, Jesus the Christ, it is time to do so. The age of grace is drawing short !!
May all the signs that are coming to pass just as Jesus said they would, serve to remind us that this earthy life is not what it is really about as we are but a vapor and none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.
Since the world will continue it's downward spiral as prophesied, may the ensuing chaos diminish the attraction that the cares of the world hold over the inhabitants of this earth that distract us from all that matters-eternal life through Jesus Christ!
