Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano emitted strong eruptions Wednesday night, which continued through Thursday, with frequent explosions ejecting incandescent bombs, creating gas and ash clouds ascending to 25,000 feet, with volcanic earthquakes and magma.

A strong eruption occurred on Friday at 19:00 GMT. American, Alaska and United Airlines cancelled flights in and out of Mexico City, as a precaution.

A few hours before noon on Saturday (local time), another phase of continuous explosions erupted and incandescent bombs shot up to 1.5 km on almost all sides of the volcano.

As of Sunday, the intensity of the eruptions remained high, reported Volcano-News.com. Continuous explosions and ash emissions with tremors continued this morning. CENAPRED (Centro Nacional de Prevención de Desastres - National Center for Disaster Prevention) raised the alert level to 3 and an exclusion zone of 12 km around the volcano has been placed. The steam and ash plume has risen to 3 km above the crater and a giant SO2 (sulfur dioxide) plume is drifting north of the volcano.

Most flights are getting back to normal, but after more than 40 flight cancellations, hundreds of passengers were stranded and the situation remains chaotic at Mexico City airport.

Volcano-News.com shows 31 volcanoes erupting throughout the world as of Sunday.

Major 6.8 and 7.2 magnitude earthquakes also hit the region of Papua New Guinea today, which will be detailed shortly on this page.

The Word of God tells us,

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

Jesus said,

"Great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, famine and pestilences, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven" Luke 21:11.

This type of activity will continue in greater proportion, until the Lord returns, as prophesied in the Word of God.
