BBC News (excerpts):  Chile - The Puyehue-Cordon-Caulle volcano has been erupting for more than a week.  Thousands of people are living in temporary shelters after being evacuated from the area around the volcano.  Australian Airline Quantas cancelled 22 flights to New Zealand's South Island and Tasmania on Sunday.  It is the first serious eruption of the volcano chain since 1960, when the area was hit by a massive earthquake.  You can view a stunning video of this volcano erupting, with lightening flashing around it on the News Videos page.  There is also a profound video of the volcanic eruption in Iceland on the same page, with lightning flashing around that one as well.  I can see the hand of God in these eruptions.    

My Comments:  Acts 2:19 says, "I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath; blood, fire and vapor of smoke."  With the record breaking wildfires in Arizona and Russia, volcanoes erupting, thousands of birds dying, millions of fish dying, killer storms raging, and high velocity earthquakes occurring throughout the world in various areas, we should all be aware that the end of the age and the return of the Lord is near, even at the door.  Jesus said in Mark 13:8, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in divers (various) places and there will be famines and troubles; these are the beginnings of sorrows."  These are the beginnings of sorrows for the ungodly; yet Jesus said in Luke 21:28, "When you see these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is near."  Those Christians who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and who serve the Lord will not fear, because we know that He will soon return to gather His people.  If you haven't received Jesus as your Savior, I invite you to read the How Can I Be Saved page on this website.  You need only say a simple sincere prayer to receive Jesus.  The Bible says in Acts 2:21, "It will come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
