Mexico:  Scientists have recorded volcanic activity activity since Tuesday from the Popocatepetl volcano and raised the alert level from "yellow-phase 2" to "yellow-phase 3" on Thursday.  The next alert level is "red alert" and if the alert level is raised, evacuations will begin.  Schools have been closed in the area, as it exhaled steam, gas and ash 41 times as of Thursday, according to the National Center for Disaster Prevention, and it is generating low amplitude tremors.  On Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, a soft glow was noticeable above the crater, indicative of simmering volcanic activity.   

The graph below shows the increase in volcanic activity from 1950 to 2010, and eruptions continue to increase since 2010.

Earthquake activity has increased more drastically than volcanic activity.

The Word of God says, "There were voices, thunders and lightnings and there was a great earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great.  The great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the nations fell, and great Babylon came into remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath; and every island fled away and the mountains were not found." Revelation 16:18-20.  All of these things happen at the end of the seven-year great tribulation period.  The earth is going through "birth pains," as the Word of God describes in 1 Thessalonians 5:3.  The earthquake and volcanic activity occurring right now are indicative of the "early birth pains," ushering in the great tribulation period, to the point that "every island and the mountains will be removed," as described in Revelation 16.  Are you prepared to stand before the Son of God, to be judged for the life you lived in this world?  If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
