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:

"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."
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.

"The Teetering Economic System

"Middle East

The Psalm 83 War is looming with the very real possiblity of starting before the summer's end:

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.
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:

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.
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:

God is providing physical evidence to warn us of the upcoming Tribulation period so that we may escape the wrath to come!!
The already teetering global economy may near its tipping point with the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokfull volcano in Iceland as in the past, she has erupted for more than a year at at time.
On top of that possible toppling effect, Katla, Eyjafjallajokfull 's big sister, usually "blows" at some point afterwards as the two are connected by a network of magma chambers.
This subsequent eruption by Katla has occured as long as six months afterwards so for the next year or more we cannot be certain of the effects of these two Icelandic volcanoes.
Even more concerning than the potential for the global economy to collapse is the fact that there could be a nuclear winter resulting from what is brewing beneath these two sisters!
Please see the previous following blog entry for details on the capacity for this type of worldwide devastation:
http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/03/iceland-volcano-could-have-world.html
"Volcano casts cloud over European economy
By the end of the day on Sunday, a total of 63,000 flights had been canceled in the four days since ash from a volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland closed the airspace of a large swath of Europe, according to air traffic authority Eurocontrol. The air travel and freight disruptions are costing airlines at least $200 million a day and perhaps billions more to the affected economies, one industry group warned."
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/04/19/volcano.economic.impact/
"Katla is a much larger Icelandic volcano system located approximately 17 miles (27 km) to the east Eyjafjallajokull. Geoscientists are wary not only for the damage an eruption could cause Iceland, but also the international implications that could follow, including global temperature change.
"There's been a concern because the last two eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull have corresponded with eruptions from Katla,"

It does appear we are at the beginning of sorrows as forewarned by Jesus:
Mark 13:8 … And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be…troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.
God, in His infinite love and compassion, warned of these signs to watch for so we would know when we were approaching the end of the age as He desires that no man should perish.
The Lord is actually providing us physical evidence to warn us of the upcoming Tribulation period so that we may escapse the wrath to come and have eternal salvation by the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice by the Savior of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ!
All we have to do is to repent and accept this free gift of the pardon of sins and we can spend eternity with our Savior, in His perfect Kingdom!
