Indonesia’s Rokatenda volcano in east Nusa Tenggara province
erupted, killing six people on Saturday. The sudden eruption sent ash and smoke
2,000 meters into the air.
Nearly 3,000 people were evacuated from the area on Palue
Island, reported Bangkok Post.
Three adults and two children were killed, but the age of the
sixth victim is not yet known. Hot lava spewing from the eruption on Saturday
killed the six people while they were sleeping in a beach village in eastern
Indonesia.
Rokatenda is one of the many active volcanoes sitting within the
Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire,” which forms a horseshoe of fault lines and
active volcanoes along the Islands of the Coral Sea, Indonesia, Japan, along
Kuril Islands, Alaska, Canada and North and South America.
The Word of God says concerning the latter days,
“And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth
beneath, blood, fire and vapor of smoke” Acts 2:19.
John the Revelator was also shown disasters at the end of time,
“And heaven departed like a scroll when it is rolled together
and every mountain and island were moved out of their places” Revelation 6:14.
There are about 1,500 active volcanoes throughout the world,
according to VolcanoDiscovery.com, and an even larger number including submarine
volcanoes. There seems to be enough active volcanoes around the world to shake
every mountain and island, as we draw closer to the start of the tribulation.
Daniel and John wrote about the great tribulation period, which
will be poured out on the entire earth in the last days and, according to Bible
prophecy, that time is drawing very near.
