NON-STOP EARTHQUAKES CONTINUE UNABATED!

As per the following animated map, Japan continues to experience non-stop earthquakes since the massive, never before recorded 9.1 quake, more than a month ago. 

http://www.japanquakemap.com/

These are more evidence of the escalating birth pains of earthquakes, just as Jesus prophesied for the end of the age:

"...there will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." Mark 13:8

The next link is to yet a second map of non-stop earthquake activity:

In Christchurch, New Zealand, quake activity has been continuing for almost SEVEN and a HALF MONTHS now. 

Please see the following entries for the miraculous details surrounding the initial Christchurch earthquake of September 2010, as well as the recent deadly quake back in late February of this year.

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/02/christchurch-earthquake-sending-yet.html

It is important to note that our high tech society has had access to sensitive seismographs for many years now.

Therefore, the usual excuse that this all is just " normal' but the only difference is that now we have the technology to detect it", doesn't fly.

So, let it be clear that this incessant seismic activity is any thing but normal. 

For earthquake statistics that definitely prove that the seismic activity is indeed increasing, please see the following entry: 

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/04/do-these-earthquakes-mean-that-we-are.html

Oddly though, as the seismic "birth pains"continue to escalate; it almost appears as though mankind is quickly being desensitized to the point where ABNORMAL and bizarre is somehow being viewed as the new NORMAL!

Please view the below video which shows just how very abnormal our world is becoming. 

Never before has the earth seemed to breathe and actually sway as the very ground beneath the feet of the people of Japan now is. 

May blinded eyes be opened to the fact that the world is unraveling before us and that the end of the age is here!

We are soon approaching the coming Tribulation period wherein ABNORMAL will truly be the "NORM".

It is time to repent and give God the glory and devotion He deserves; while releasing our grips on the things of this world, which are fast fading into an unrecognizable state.

The Lord Jesus is soon coming in the Rapture, for His who are ready and "love not the world or anything in it".

1 John 2:15 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.

Earthquakes are on the rise...is America next??

From the recent deadly Christchurch earthquake to this week's unusual 4.7 quake in Little Rock, Arkansas, it is becoming more and more evident that the Words of Jesus, prophesied for the last days, are coming to pass before our eyes: 

Matthew 13:8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

I would like to share the following, insightful analysis by a learned friend, R. Johnson, regarding the rise in earthquakes in "divers places" :

"You used to never hear of earthquakes in the central region of the USA. They were something only Californians had to deal with. 

However, they have been rapidly increasing all over the USA and around the world. Nearby Arkansas has had an incredible number of earthquakes recently.

Mississippi and other states in the to-be-affected area are currently preparing for the next New Madrid fault-line to make it's first adjustment (earthquake) in over 200 years. Earthquake emergency scenario exercises are planned for May 2011 in Mississippi.

I learned about these special training exercises because I'm a Ham Radio Operator. A number of Ham Radio Operators who are trained to handle Emergency Communications during a communications infrastructure collapse have been called upon to participate in these exercises. 

(As an aside: Ham Radio is and will be the only reliable means of communication across town, county, state, nation, and globe if and when landline phones, cell phones, and Internet go down or are blocked. Unlike phone and Internet you don't have to pay monthly fees. It's free after the small cost of buying the radio equipment. So if in your emergency planning you have neglected to address a fail proof back up form of communication you might want to look into Ham Radio)

In regards to the New Madrid fault earthquake, I have heard comments that it's not of matter of "if it will happen", but rather "when it will happen" and the general consensus is soon! Hence the importance of preparing for it now.

I also stumbled upon the following unrelated website which is promoting April 19th as Shake Out Day, billed as the largest earthquake drill in the central USA, and warns:

'We all must get better prepared for major earthquakes, and also practice how to protect ourselves when they happen. The purpose of the ShakeOut is to help people and organizations do both.'

http://www.shakeout.org/centralus/

The Government seems to know what the Bible prophesies, that earthquakes are going to increase!" ~R. Johnson

CREDIBLE REASONS FOR THE DYING WILDLIFE PHENOMENON

Following is more amazing insight and fascinating information by my fellow watchman, R. Johnson, regarding plausible explanations for the recent astonishing mystery of the dying wildlife, over the various parts of the globe, in the past week.

"The earthquake which killed 700 people in Chili last February (2010) caused the earth's axis to shift and shortened our days by a very small amount. There have been so many strong earthquakes this last year. I imagine there has been or will be, more shifting as these earthquakes continue, or increase. 
 

Some people are predicting major magnetic pole changes. 

A rapid change might cause birds, which use the magnetic poles to navigate, to become disoriented, maybe enough for a flock of birds to bang into each other causing internal damage and mass death.


I'm a Licensed Amateur Radio operator (Ham Radio). There are several levels of licensing, but those of us who are licensed to transmit on the High Frequencies (long distance frequencies) keep an eye on the current conditions of the eleven year solar cycle. 

We do this because the increase or decrease (depending upon where we are in the cycle) of solar irradiation which reaches earth affects the distance around the globe that we are able to transmit and receive.

We are in the middle of an improving solar cycle that will peak in about 2012. For Ham Radio operators this means that radio frequency bands that have been closed to us are starting to open up and we can communicate with other Hams in countries much father around the globe.


However, some scientists are predicting that as we reach this peak, massive solar disruptions will begin happening and could cause widespread disruptions (similar to those which the electromagnetic pulse EMP bombs we keep hearing about cause). 

Massive power failures, electronic chips which are now found in everything from cars to cell phones to computers to gas pumps to factory machines to stop lights will fail. 

Basically every device we depend upon will stop working and require chip replacements or major electronic repairs to get working again.


You won't be able to use any of them, unless they are stored and used behind shielding. Lead is the best electromagnetic shielding.

Lead is that stuff that the US government so vigorous campaigned against in the 1960s and 1970s for us to take off the walls of our houses because purportedly millions of children ate paint which they told us would caused mental development problems.

So our walls are no longer shielded from electromagnetic waves, nor from various methods of electronic eavesdropping.

I have read that during that time (lead safety campaign) they were also developing technology which would allow them to electronically look and listen through walls and record what they heard/saw. 

The article I read said that lead paint prevented these devices from working and os actually what really prompted the government's Lead Paint removal campaigns in the 60s and 70s.

We may never know if that was true or a coincidence.

While not as good as lead, heavy aluminum shielding blocks electromagnetic waves and can be used to prevent folks from listening to conversations in your house via your cell phone (yes it can easily be done without you even knowing it), prevent the remote viewing of your computer screen (ECHELON), and more importantly, keep computers, cell phones, radios, and other devices you want to still be able to use afterwards working.

Getting back on the topic of electromagnetic disturbances:

The US military's HAARP program (based in Alaska) also has the capably to cause anomalies in the earth's Ionosphere, purportedly used in researching ways to extend the distance of military radio communications. 

I have read that they are also working on extending radio communication for submarines in the ocean.

Some suspect that's a cover for a weapon they have been developing. What they are doing has been compared to the Scalar Electromagnetic Energy weapons (Tesla Howitzers) purportedly developed by the KGB which can send strong EM energy to any point on the globe and even through the earth from one point to another.

These devices are strong enough to cause a heating up or a cooling down of their target area as well as magnetic force field disturbances They can also cause stress to build on fault lines which eventually result in earthquakes. Some reports indicate they can even cause weather changes.

It is rumored that the Russians and others have been increasingly using these weapons to cause earthquakes and disasters in targeted countries around the globe in an attempt to cause increased economic problems and the eventual economic collapse of those countries.

Sounded like Science Fiction to me until I read the following:

"In January, 1960 (now 50 years ago!) Nikita Khrushchev announced to the Presidium:

'We have a new weapon, just within the portfolio of our scientists, so to speak, which is so powerful that, if unrestrainedly used, it could wipe out all life on earth. It is a fantastic weapon.'

The Russians have not yet revealed that weapon, but developed it in secret, and tested it clandestinely to see if the West could understand what was going on, whether the U.S. had discovered the weapon yet. It had not.

In 1997, 37 years after Khrushchev had announced the new (scalar electromagnetic) weapon U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen gave a warning, suggesting that the U.S. had finally understood the nature and power of the weapon. 

He warned about eco-terrorism using scalar electromagnetic weapons:

"Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves...So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations...It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counter terrorism] efforts."

The above quote is from:

http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=38963

So G-d may be allowing (or using) man's greedy nature, warmongering, and foolish tampering with physics to cause the huge increase in earthquakes and disasters over the last few years.

Additionally, the Scalar Electromagnetic Energy they can target so precisely to any point on earth might also explain why these massive flocks of birds are dropping dead with internal trauma. 

If they are testing the sending of the same through the water ways that that might explain why the fish are dying with similar conditions.

Maybe they died from artificially caused extremes of heat or cold or disorientation from magnetic force fields, or renal trauma directly caused by the beams which were sent to targeted areas where the animals just happened to be in during beta testing of these devices.

Or, maybe using advance target spotting devices they intentionally looked for large flocks of birds and attacked them intentionally as part of their testing. Maybe the same was done with the fish and whales.

Whatever's going on...the Earth Is Shaking! Shaking like never before!! Causing people to open their eyes.

Maybe some will open their hearts as well!"

COULD THE MISSILE LAUNCHED OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA INDICATE A SOON ATTACK UPON AMERICA??

Just this week there was a "Missile fired off California coast" and according to the following link; "The Pentagon is trying to find out if a missile was fired off the California coast, and who launched it." 

 

 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8121612/Missile-fired-off-California-coast.html 

 Little known, there is a weapon that easily could devastate America within minutes of launching of only one missile. 

This technological possibility has not widely been disclosed to the public; perhaps purposefully, so as not to panic the "sheeple".

The below article explains how our dependence on modern technology in this electronic age could literally be "the death of us". 

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear device or from a massive solar storm could instantly send our technologically dependent society back into the 1800's.

            "One EMP burst and the world goes dark "  

---

"The sky erupts. Cities darken, food spoils and homes fall silent. Civilization collapses.

End-of-the-world novel? A video game? Or could such a scenario loom in America's future?

There is talk of catastrophe ahead, depending on whom you believe, because of the threat of an electromagnetic pulse triggered by either a supersized solar storm or terrorist A-bomb, both capable of disabling the electric grid that powers modern life.

Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) are oversized outbursts of atmospheric electricity. Whether powered by geomagnetic storms or by nuclear blasts, their resultant intense magnetic fields can induce ground currents strong enough to burn out power lines and electrical equipment across state lines.

The threat has even become political fodder, drawing warnings from former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a likely presidential contender.

"We are not today hardened against this," he told a Heritage Foundation audience last year. "It is an enormous catastrophic threat."

Meanwhile, in Congress, a "Grid Act" bill aimed at the threat awaits Senate action, having passed in the House of Representatives.

Fear is evident. With the sun's 11-year solar cycle ramping up for its stormy maximum in 2012, and nuclear concerns swirling about Iran and North Korea, a drumbeat of reports and blue-ribbon panels center on electromagnetic pulse scenarios.

"We're taking this seriously," says Ed Legge of the Edison Electric Institute in Washington, which represents utilities. He points to a North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) report in June, conducted with the Energy Department, that found pulse threats to the grid "may be much greater than anticipated."

There are "some important reasons for concern," says physicist Yousaf Butt of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. "But there is also a lot of fluff."

At risk are the more than 200,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines that cross North America, supplying 1,800 utilities the power for TVs, lights, refrigerators and air conditioners in homes, and for the businesses, hospitals and police stations that take care of us all.

"The electric grid's vulnerability to cyber and to other attacks is one of the single greatest threats to our national security," Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said in June as he introduced the bill to the House of Representatives.

Simple physics, big worry-

The electromagnetic pulse threat is a function of simple physics: Electromagnetic pulses and geomagnetic storms can alter Earth's magnetic field. Changing magnetic fields in the atmosphere, in turn, can trigger surging currents in power lines.

"It is a well-understood phenomenon," says Butt, who this year reviewed geomagnetic and nuke blast worries in The Space Review."

"The high-altitude nuclear-weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse is one of a small number of threats that has the potential to hold our society seriously at risk," concluded a 2008 EMP Commission report headed by William Graham, a former science adviser to President Reagan."

The terror effect:

"In the nuclear scenario, the detonation of an atomic bomb anywhere from 25 to 500 miles high electrifies, or ionizes, the atmosphere about 25 miles up, triggering a series of electromagnetic pulses. The pulse's reach varies with the size of the bomb, the height of its blast and design.

Gingrich last year cited the EMP Commission report in warning, "One weapon of this kind that went off over Omaha would eliminate most of the electrical production in the United States."

Super solar storm:

On the solar front, the big fear is a solar super storm, a large, fast, coronal mass ejection with a magnetic field that lines up with an orientation perfectly opposite the Earth's own magnetic field, says solar physicist Bruce Tsurutani of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Tsuritani and other solar physicists view such an event as inevitable in the next 10 to 100 years."

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2010-10-26-emp_N.htm  

The following synopsis of the immediate effects of an EMP illustrates the formidable threat that one simple "E-bomb" is to our modernized society:

"The E -BOMB'

"In the blink of an eye, electromagnetic bombs could throw civilization back 200 years ; and terrorists can build them for only $400 ...."

"Text by : JIM WILSON, and educative illustration by : JOHN BATCHELOR"

"The next Pearl Harbor will not announce itself with a searing flash of nuclear light.  You only will hear a sharp crack in the distance.  By the time you mistakenly identify this sound as an innocent clap of thunder, the civilized world will have become unhinged.  Fluorescent lights and television sets will glow eerily bright, despite being turned off.  The aroma of ozone mixed with smoldering plastic will seep from outlet covers as electric wires arc and telephone lines melt.  Your Palm Pilot and MP3 player will feel warm to the touch, their batteries overloaded.  Your computer, and every bit of data on it, will be toast. And then you will notice that the world sounds different too.  The background music of civilization, the whirl of internal-combustion engines, will have stopped.  Save a few diesels, engines will never start again.  You, however, will remain unharmed, as you find yourself thrust backward 200 years, to a time when electricity meant a lightning bolt fracturing the night sky.  This is not a hypothetical, son-of-Y2K scenario.  It is a realistic assessment of the damage the Pentagon believes could be inflicted by a new generation of weapons : E-bombs ...."

"CONCLUSION :»  to knock out electric power, computers and telecommunication and you've destroyed the foundation of modern society.  In the age of Third World-sponsored terrorism, the E-bomb is the great equalizer"

http://www.unitedstatesaction.com/emp-terror.htm

In fact, there is an excellent book, Earthquake Resurrection, by author David Lowe, that theorizes that the Rapture itself could be a nuclear event. 

The transformation of mortal bodies into glorified bodies would probably result in the manipulation of atoms of which all matter(our physical bodies) is made.

This transformation from mortal into immortal could yield an atomic rearrangement resulting in a nuclear event. 

This possible worldwide occurrence of multiple nuclear events could precipitate global seismic activity. Hence, the title of David Lowe's amazing book, Earthquake Resurrection.

http://www.earthquakeresurrection.com/#ersynopsis

It would seem that this potential for nuclear events around the globe caused by the Rapture could also conceivably and theoretically create the potential for EMP's worldwide.

Either theory is predictive of "sudden destruction"coinciding with the readied Bride being translated and removed to safety.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

This recent mysterious event off the coast of California will probably be explained away by our government as to not panic the masses.

However, it is in within the realm of probability that this evident missile launch could actually be a"dry run" for a terrorist organization or a rogue country; desiring to dismantle the power of America. 

This could be accomplished by literally disrupting the electrical/electronic power of the United States.

Due to the many unknowns facing us in the near future, it is vital that we all know and are known by the true power of the universe, the one true living God, through His Son, Yeshua the Savior of mankind.

UNPRECEDENTED SWARM OF EARTHQUAKES AT CHRISTCHURCH, APPEARS TO BE A SIGNAL TO CHRIST'S CHURCH!

Ever since the 7.0 earthquake lurched open the the ground in CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, less than three weeks ago, there has been an ongoing earthquake swarm which is the largest ever reported. 

http://beforeitsnews.com/story/180/664/Seven_Hundred:_That_is_either_the_biggest_earthquake_swarm_we_have_heard_off_or_something_else_is_brewing_beneath_New_Zealand..html

The amount of earthquakes in this swarm is at present, 774, and appears headed towards  777, which we know to be God's number of perfect completion.

Please see the following interactive map showing the constantly updated earthquake activity of this swarm:

http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/

Only time will tell if the swarm may continue and climb out of the 700's. The very fact that this earthquake was surreal from the cause to effect is however, indisputable. 

Please see the previous entry outlining the incredible verification of this:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/09/is-rapture-just-days-away.html

The fact that the initial 7.0 earthquake appeared as if the ground was ripped open by the hand of God since it was not on a fault line, should alert believers to begin with.

The additional fact that CHRISTCHURCH is now the location of the largest swarm of earthquakes on record, does appear to bear providential significance.

The following linked article has a title that does appear very telling:

7.0 Earthquake Hits Sleeping Christchurch, New Zealand 

http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/6680861-70-earthquake-hits-sleeping-christchurch-new-zealand/image/62892737-christchurch-earthquake 

This may indeed be some sort of signal to Christ's Church.

Many of those, professing to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ, seem to be sleeping soundly and totally unaware of the blatant signs all around us, pointing to the return of Yeshua Ha Mashicah for His own.

There is no such location.

Perhaps this phenomenon is a supernatural call for the Church of Jesus Christ to awaken and to prepare for His soon return. 

Ephesians 5:14  

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

THE ERUPTION OF ICELAND'S KATLA IS IMMINENT AND WILL BE TEN TIMES WORSE THAN EYJAFJALLAJOKULL!

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/2010/03/iceland-volcano-could-have-world.html

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."



http://econotwist.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/volcano-ash-can-send-the-earth-into-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."

WE HAVE PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN-NOTHING IS SUSTAINABLE ON THIS PATH TOWARDS THE END OF THE AGE!

Our world has started down a path where NOTHING is sustainable and we have already passed the point of no return.


Just sharing today's rundown on the manifestation of this, in the world situation, as linked below:

"North and South Korea situation

Apparent conclusive evidence that a N. Korea torpedo sunk S. Korean ship. North cuts communication with South. S. cuts off all trade with N. Today, S. Korea launched a major exercise with 10 warships."

If South Korea looks at them the "wrong way", North Korea is ready to declare war.

What will Kim Jong II contemplate now that South Korea has boldly cut off trade with them while launching "a major exercise with 10 WARships"??


"The Katla volcano
Continues being fickle under the ice glacier while occasionally stumbling an earthquake to keep our attention." 


History indicates that Katla ALWAYS follows suit when her smaller neighbor, Eyjafjallajokull erupts. Please see the below linked blog entries for details:

"BP Oil Eruption
5,000 feet underwater, at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, BP is currently making a new attempt at plugging the underwater gusher which is spewing about 1 Million gallons per day (60% chance of success)..."

It has been commented that there may be a "river of oil" beneath the seabed. So, this daily gush of millions of gallons of oil may continue unabated.


Meanwhile, Obama continues to sit on his hands as far as any action to stop the flow or even any real attempts at major clean up. Each day that this is allowed to continue, brings us closer to the potential for global oceanic devastation.

We can easily see that the labor has begun, so things will only continue to worsen as do birth pains:

Matthew 24:3....."Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

SIX VOLCANOES THAT COULD SHUT DOWN THE WORLD AND THAT ARE PRONE FOR UPCOMING ACTIVITY

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.

"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."

IS THE EARTH SHAKING MORE???

Found this excellent article with excerpts from news links and there's not more that really needs adding. So, kudos to the author, who compiled such great info, Bob Thiel!

http://www.examiner.com/x-22366-LA-Church-History--End-Prophecy-Examiner~y2010m4d15-Iceland-earthquakes-and-the-beginning-of-sorrows?#comments

" ....Jesus taught:

Mark 13:8 … And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be…troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.


"We may be to this point as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions certainly would seem to qualify as “troubles”.


Also notice two recent articles about earthquakes:"

"Is Earth shaking more?


MSNBC LiveScience – April 14, 2010

As the numbers of buried or dead continue to climb from today’s 6.9-magnitude earthquake in China, an event so close on the heels of the devastating Chile and Haiti earthquakes, you might wonder if Earth is shaking more lately. Perhaps, scientists say…


“Relative to the 20-year period from the mid-1970’s to the mid 1990’s, the Earth has been more active over the past 15 or so years,” said Stephen S. Gao, a geophysicist at Missouri University of Science & Technology. “We still do not know the reason for this yet. Could simply be the natural temporal variation of the stress field in the Earth’s lithosphere.” (The lithosphere is the outer solid part of the Earth.)


News of the Yushu earthquake in China, which followed large temblors in the United States and Mexico, Haiti, Chile and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan — all in this young year alone — make it seem Earth is becoming ever more active…the series of earthquakes could just be part of the natural cycle for what is arguably a dynamic planet."

"California sees increase in earthquakes


LA Times – April 13, 2010


Seismologists in California were busy this week fighting rumors apparently floating on Twitter that a major earthquake was likely in the next few days.


Officials at Caltech say that rumor is not true — and that no such prediction can be made. But researchers say there has been an uptick in earthquakes this year.


The number of earthquakes greater than magnitude 4.0 in Southern California and Baja California has increased significantly in 2010. There have been 70 such quakes so far this year, the most of any year in the last decade. And it’s only April. There were 30 in 2009 and 29 in 2008.

Seismologists said they are studying the uptick but cannot fully explain it."


http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/04/california-sees-increase-in-earthquake-sesimologists-fight-twitter-rumors.html


"Instead of being part of the “natural cycle”, earthquakes in various places should be considered that we may be in or near that time that Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows” (see also Matthew 24:7-8).


Those of us in Southern California may soon be affected even more by earthquakes and other disasters, whether we believe in Bible prophecy or that this is due to the "natural cycle".

EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANIC ACTIVITY THAT JESUS WARNED TO WATCH FOR COULD ONLY BE DETECTED IN OUR TECHNOLOGICAL AGE

THE FULFILLMENT OF THE END OF THE WORLD/END OF THE AGE SIGNS OF RAPIDY INCREASING GEOTHERMAL/VOLCANIC AND SEISMIC/EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY COULD ONLY COME TO PASS IN OUR PRESENT DAY AND AGE- THEY'RE HERE!

As of today,the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland is still erupting and the longer she erupts, the greater the chance that she could trigger Katla, her angry sister. Please see the link to a previous blog entry explaning the  seriousness of the worldwide devastating effect that an eruption of Katla could cause.

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/03/iceland-volcano-could-have-world.html

"REYKJAVIK, Iceland - The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupting now may just be the opening act if it triggers its sister volcano named Katla."

"Scientists fear the tremors being generated right now from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano could cause the Katla volcano to erupt."


'Not a good scenario since the Katla eruption scientists say would be 10 times stronger and shoot higher and larger plumes of ash into the air than the Eyjafjallajokull volcano which has already brought European air travel to a halt for five days and probably more in the days to come." 

'Pall Einarsson, professor of geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, said one volcanic eruption sometimes causes a nearby volcano to explode, and Katla and Eyjafjallajokull have been active in tandem in the past".


"The three times in recorded history when Eyjafjallajökull has erupted, its neighbor, the much larger Katla has also erupted."

http://www.examiner.com/x-28320-World-News-Examiner~y2010m4d20-VIDEOS-Scientists-fear-Eyjafjallajokull-volcano-could-trigger-Katla-its-angry-sister
 
Eyjafjallajokull and Katla are 12 miles apart, side by side, in southern Iceland and are thought to be connected by a network of magma channels. According to my understanding, the intense heat of Eyjafjallajokull's continuing eruption could probably melt the ice cap over Karla as well as heating the magma in the network of chambers thus decreasing the viscosity of and facillitating the magma flow through the chambers, precipitating the blast of Katla.

If Katla blows, the entire world may feel like they are experiencing an "end of the world" cataclysmic event!

It is imperative to understand the definition of the word "divers" as used in the below Scriptures by Jesus, in which He gave us warning signs to watch for so we can know when we are approaching the end of the age . Divers' is the Old English spelling for 'diverse', meaning many and varied places, or a lot of different places.

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."

Please note that earthquake/seismic and volcanic/geothermal activity go hand in hand as they are interrelated. When Jesus told us to watch for earthquakes, they correlate with volcanic activity and so both are the fulfillment of the forewarning by Jesus in the Gospels to watch for "earthquakes in divers places".

His command to watch for these "earth shaking"events in "divers places" was indicative that our modern high tech society is the only period in history that could see this fulfillment. After recently sharing the many signs of the end times with a store clerk at a local Target store, she responded that she was totally unaware of the recent spate of major earthquakes.


It is astonishing that even today,with round the clocks news coverage, that many are so uninterested or uninvolved in following world events that they are completely oblivious to all the current world events signifying how unstable our deteriorating world is becoming with each passing day.


Before the availability of multitudinous communication devices, it was IMPOSSIBLE to see this sign of "earthquakes in DIVERS places" that Jesus forewarned us to watch for regarding the end of the age. Communication of any major seismic events was bound by whatever cities/places were in either walking or camel distance for those who might relay said news.


Our modern technological age provides us with 24/7 news media coverage traveling the world wide web as well as via televisions and radio. With the advent of telephones, cell phones and now all the vast array of high tech devices there is the ability to have instant communication of breaking news worldwide.


Prior to the development of all the electronic gadgets in the past century, there was no way to gauge let alone communicate the earthquakes in DIVERS places. Before the explosion of technological advances, knowledge of any such cataclysmic occurrences was restricted only to the local and/or adjacent areas to the actual event.


As such, this warning to watch for "earthquakes in DIVERS places" given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, can only pertain to our modern day society as only today, do we have the technological capacity to widely broadcast the worldwide increase of seismic/geothermal activity that with each passing day seems to be ever increasing with major earthquakes ranging from 5.0 and greater becoming the norm.


Jesus commanded us to watch for all these signs that we are now witnessing and He told us that they are the beginning of birth pains which indicates that these once they begin, the signs will increase not only in frequency, but also intensity as do the labor pains of a woman about to give birth.


Many secular scientists are totally baffled by this abnormal increase in earthquake and volcanic related activity. Please see the below linked video from April 6, 2010 on CNN.com wherein both commentators reiterated a total of 4 times that these successive earthquakes/volcanoes can't be "coincidence". Notice that twice they both quizzically mentioned that's "something's going on."


http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2010/04/06/tsr.myers.indonesia.earthquake.cnn&hpt=P1&iref=NS1


The meteorologist concluded the end of the video advising "everybody who lives near a fault line make sure that you have your earthquake procedures down to it"...."its time to go over your earthquake procedures". This translates into "We have no earthly idea as to what in the world is going on, on our planet so, it's "everyman for himself"!"


As we can therefore see, even the liberal mainly agnostic/atheistic media is noticing that something abnormal is going on and they are totally bewildered!


This randomness of seismic activity is absolute confirmation of Jesus' warning for us to on watch for "earthquakes in divers places". This proof is verfied by the science of plate tectonics. Seismologists know that with plate tectonics the release of stress on one part of a plate can trigger seismic activity along the same plate as the plate shifts, resulting in earthquakes.


Please note the perplexity in the voice of the meteorologist is evident as he emphasizes that these seismic events "are NOT directly related".


The fact that there is NO DIRECT RELATION to all this activity is confirmation that these "earthquakes in divers places" are just as Jesus prophesied would happen. Seismologists know that with plate tectonics one release of stress on a plate can trigger seismic activity elsewhere on the same plate.


THIS IS NOT THE CASE as the increasing quakes are in DIVERS PLACES and this is why the secular world is so BAFFLED! All of this current activity is happening in divers (different) places and therefore they are not related. That is why the meteorologist is so confounded because the quakes are not happening as in the cause and effect relation of plate tectonics as has ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE!

These "earthquakes in divers places"are happening contrary to the laws behind the science of plate tectonics. This is how God is supernaturally manifesting Himself to mankind by these "earthquakes in divers places" that Jesus commanded us to be alert for!


That is why as a professional he comments that that it is "not coincidental that these are all coming together at one point at one time" as well as " there is something going on here." Plainspeak-"These earthquakes are surreally occurring and we are starting to get really nervous as to why"!


How much more alarmed will these people, who probably do not know God's Word , become with each and every day of strengthening geothermal/seismic activity?


 As they witness the "groaning" of our earth continuing so will their anxiety continue and heighten by each subsequent shaking of our earth! We, that are Christians, need to be a light unto these people who are virtually clueless as to what is truly going on all around them. We need to warn them of where we are on God's prophetic timeline and share the Gospel of the soon coming King with them!


It is much more terrifying to be totally unaware of and unprepared for a traumatic event. Therefore, Christians, knowing the Word of God, need to be sounding the alarm and announcing that this was exactly foretold thousands of years ago in the pages of the Bible so that all can come to repentance and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ!
