19,000 FLEE ERUPTING VOLCANO IN INDONESIA
Excerpts taken from the Associated Press.
The Mount Sinabung volcano in North Sumatra was placed on the
highest alert level in November, when it began erupting.
The volcano has been spewing lava, but suddenly erupted
powerfully on New Year’s Eve. More eruptions followed, with a total of nine on
Tuesday, setting off more evacuations within the vicinity of the volcano.
In 2010, two people were killed during an eruption, which caught
volcanologists off guard, as the 8,530-foot volcano erupted after a 400-year
silence.
Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo
Nugroho said more than 19,000 people have been evacuated from villages in a
danger zone 5 kilometers (3 miles) around the crater to temporary shelters,
reported the Associated Press.
Airlines have been notified to avoid routes near the volcano.
There are approximately 130-160 active volcanoes in Indonesia,
according to various sources. Indonesia has the most active volcanoes in the
entire world.
It is interesting to note that Indonesia has the greatest Muslim
population in the world.
Coincidence? I don’t believe so.
This is what God has to say about people who do not serve Him in
the latter days:
“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew
not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not…For a fire is
kindled in My anger and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the
earth with her increase and set on fire the foundations of the mountains”
Deuteronomy 32:17, 22.
As we draw closer to the return of the Lord, we will surely see
more volcanic eruptions, especially among wicked nations, who worship false
gods and devils.
