Officials have ordered the evacuation of residents living in the vicinity of San Cristobal, Nicaragua's highest volcano, which spewed hot gases and ash on Thursday.  A yellow alert was issued and residents evacuated within the vicinity of 1.8 miles around the volcano, those at highest risk in case of an eruption.

About 1,500 farmers have refused to evacuate amidst ash falling on trees, houses and roads.  About 150 army troops have been deployed to assist families with evacuations and to persuade farmers to obey the evacuation orders. 

The volcano erupted in September, killing livestock, and it has shown signs of increased activity in recent years. 

According to VolcanoDiscovery.com, 24 volcanoes are erupting and another 104 are active in the world today.  See the volcanic activity throughout the world on an interactive world map published by VolcanoDiscovery.com through this link.

The Bible says, "I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath, blood, fire and vapor of smoke" Acts 2:19. 

With all of the volcanic activity going on, I would say that the world appears to be preparing for some great explosions, which are foretold in the Word of God.  God's people shouldn't be alarmed, because the Lord will remove us from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10). 

If you don't know the Lord and you aren't prepared for what is coming, I can't plead with you enough to receive the Lord as your Savior and prepare for eternity.  If you aren't saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God loves you and it isn't His will that anyone should perish (2 Peter 3:9).  God bless you.
