Residents in western Colombia woke to find their cities and towns covered in volcanic ash Wednesday, May 29, after an area volcano with a deadly past began spewing an ash cloud as high as 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) into the atmosphere.  Local authorities raised the alert for Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz from yellow to orange, indicating an eruption was likely in the coming days or weeks, though not imminent.  When the volcano erupted suddenly on November 13, 1985, at least 23,000 people were killed, reported NASA's Earth Observatory. 

The Word of God says, "I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath, blood, fire and vapor of smoke" Acts 2:19.  As we advance closer to the return of the Lord and the great tribulation period, there will be more volcanic eruptions and fires throughout the world, as we are beginning to see now, according to Bible prophecy.  Jesus will return, just as He promised in His Word, and many who have not received Him as their Savior will be left behind to face the tribulation.  Jesus said, "There will be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" Matthew 24:21.  Are you saved?  If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
