About 3,000 people have evacuated from the area surrounding San Cristobal Volcano.  The government ordered the local community to leave and sent troops to the region northwest of the capital Managua. 

Powerful explosions were heard as the volcano erupted on Saturday and more explosions are expected.  The 5,700 foot volcano is the highest peak in Nicaragua.  The volcano sent ash and smoke 2-3 miles into the atmosphere. 

The volcano had a series of small eruptions in 2008, but it is very active now, according to Jaime Mejia with Nicaragua's Institute of Territorial Studies.  Nicaragua has been on alert since the great Costa Rica earthquake hit last week.

Volcanoes have erupted in Indonesia, Ecuador, Kermadic Islands and New Zealand within the last 30 days.  According to UniverseToday.com, there are approximately 500 active volcanoes throughout the world, not counting those underneath oceans.  Of these active volcanoes, stats show that about 20 are erupting at any given time, and the statistics continue to climb.

The great earthquakes we are experiencing throughout the earth now are directly connected with the volcanic eruptions occurring throughout the globe simultaneously. 

A description of these events at their peak have been described throughout scriptures detailing the last days.  Jesus said, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken" Matthew 24:29.  John the Revelator saw this vision regarding the end of time, "Heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every mountain and island were moved out of their places" Revelation 6:14. 

As we experience more frequent great earthquakes throughout the earth and the rise of volcanic eruptions, we can discern that the events described above are approaching us.  Certainly, if numerous volcanoes give off mass eruptions simultaneously, and the earth experiences great earthquakes at the same time, islands and mountains could literally be moved and the ash would obscure the sun and moon. 

Are you prepared to meet God and face judgment for the life you have lived here on earth?  Is Jesus, our Lord and Savior, Lord of your life, or is your life dictated by seeking the momentary pleasures of life, success in this temporary world, and passing physical pleasures?  The Word of God tells us that "Hell and destruction are never full, so the eyes of man are never satisfied" Proverbs 27:20.  Nevertheless, "Godliness with contentment is great gain" 1 Timothy 6:6.  

Nothing can satisfy our inner need, the longing of the soul, except eternal salvation, which is only found through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Have you received that inner peace that only Christ can provide?  If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  Salvation is simple - it's only a prayer away.  God bless you.
