A Very Tiny Preview of FUTURE TRIBULATION Attractions
Is now being observed across Europe which will Disappear
With The Passage Of Time Man Thinks Will Continue Forever!
I’ve spent 36 years trying to warn of prophetic volcanic Clouds
Drawing closer each year as described by BIBLE prophets of God!
There is NO Doubt in my mind God intends to use HIS Own Creation
To fulfill many prophecies written by His biblical prophets He Inspired!
Luke 21:11,25 – And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. [25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

The current volcanic activity in Iceland will eventually die down, and everything will return to normal. However, at some point in time prior to 2015 I am convinced God will suddenly unleash a judgment on mankind like it has never known before. Is it possible I could be wrong? Absolutely, as far as the timing is concerned! But could I be wrong about God using the tectonic plates and the rest of his creation to fulfill his horrifying tribulation period? No Way, Jose! Whatever you intend to do about the salvation of your soul, you are approaching the end of the Gentile Age, and, if you do know Christ as your Savior whatever you intend to do in serving God, you had better get busy.
Luke 12:8,9 – Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: [9] But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 12:35-38 – Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; [36] And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. [37] Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. [38] And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Revelation 22:12-14 – And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. [13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. [14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

CHAPTER 10 – THE SHAFT ABYSS
Revelation 9:1,2 – And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. [2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
I am a literal interpreter. That does not mean that I take all the inspired writings to be absolutely literal.
I am very aware that certain parts of God’s Word are inspired poetically, figuratively and symbolically, but, unless it yields ridiculous results, I am always more inclined to accept a literal interpretation over a figurative or symbolic explanation.
In verse one there are some points that can be made literally concerning the symbols, things, places and events described.
First of all, the star is identified by the personal pronoun “him” as a masculine spiritual being that comes from Heaven.
Secondly, this masculine spiritual being comes to a physical place – the planet Earth. Now, putting these two factors together, we have a being sent from Heaven to the physical earth. This means he is standing on the surface of what you see in figure 3. He is standing on top of these massive tectonic plates that float on top of an underground ocean of liquid rock.
Thirdly, this heavenly visitor has been given a key which represents the authority to unlock something. He has been send to unlock what he stands upon – the earth’s crust. The earth is the “bottomless pit.” There are hundreds of geometric figures that have bottoms, but the earth is an oblate spheroid and, as such, has no bottom. If it were possible to dig through the earth you could never reach bottom, for you would simply come out on the opposite side from which you started. The earth has no bottom.
Fourthly, I call your attention to the Koine Greek words translated “bottomless pit,” those being phreatos tes abussou, or literally, SHAFT OF THE ABYSS. This is a perfect scientific description of these great geological faults shown in figure 9. They are a great interconnecting shaft system that extends down through the crust into the abyss. It is this locked system that the heavenly being is sent to unlock. He unlocks the locked plate structure with the power of God symbolized by the key.
Fifthly, please note that the interior of the bottomless pit is likened to a “great furnace.” Many scientific texts of today use this term to describe the interior of the earth,
And, lastly, please notice the results of the unlocking of the tectonic plates in verse two – a great smoke that rises up to darken the sun and the atmosphere. This is precisely what would occur if these huge tectonic plates were unlocked. Volcanic smoke would pour upward into the earth’s atmosphere along all areas indicated by the dashed lines on figure 3. This smoke would most assuredly d
arken the sun, on a worldwide basis, as it collected, and advected, around the earth under a great temperature inversion which exists just above the tropopause.

Volcanic ash paralyses the skies over Europe
Thousands of passengers are stranded as Icelandic eruption closes airports across the Continent
By Martin Hickman
Friday, 16 April 2010
Nats, the National Air Traffic Service, said British airspace would be closed until 1pm today – at the earliest. Last night a Nats spokesman said a handful of flights from Northern Ireland and the Western Isles may be permitted to and from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick, along with North Atlantic flights to Scotland and Belfast, “subject to individual co-ordination”. But there were concerns the lockdown elsewhere would last much longer – Eurocontrol, the European flights agency, warned that the ash could last 48 hours, affecting flights well into the weekend.
The UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Belgium closed their air space, while France, the Netherlands and Finland partially shut airports. The disruption moved south with the cloud.
Bill McGuire, professor at the Hazard Research Centre at University College London, said: “Volcanoes are very unpredictable … I would expect this shutdown to last a couple of days. But if the eruption continues, and continues to produce ash, we could see disruption over six months or so.”
Nats said the shutdown was the first time in “living memory” that the entire UK airspace had been closed; even after the September 11 attacks in 2001 most UK airspace remained open.
Flights will be disrupted for days as airlines battle to clear the backlog of passengers and ensure planes are in the right place to run a normal service.
Under EU travel laws, passengers will be entitled to receive refunds or fresh flights but not compensation. People who have not yet checked in may not be able to claim for delays to holidays, while many other policy-holders may miss out due to small print ruling out payouts arising from “acts of God”.
Airline staff at Stansted told customers it could be closed until Sunday. “People just don’t know what to do,” said Andy Evans, a stranded passenger. “There are hundreds of people in the queues at the sales desks.”
A spokesman at Heathrow said 840 out of 1,250 flights were affected, disrupting more than 100,000 of the 180,000 passengers due to travel yesterday. The delays affected 80,000 passengers at Gatwick, 76,000 at Manchester and 35,000 at Stansted.
Some UK airport terminal buildings were deserted.
Stansted spokesman Mark Davison said: “Most people have left the airport or made other arrangements. It’s not like when you have fog and people are waiting for the next flight in the morning. It’s a total shutdown. It’s eerily quiet.”
John Strickland, director of JLS consulting, which specialises in air transport, said: “We are looking at a day’s business at least wiped out for the airlines. Even if things are meteorologically fine … the airlines’ aircraft and crew will be out of position so they have no choice but to cancel further flights.”
The problem
began on Wednesday when a volcano below the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier in Iceland hurled a plume of ash 6km to 11km (4 to 7 miles) into the atmosphere. Scientists said the ash did not pose a health threat because it is at such high altitude. However it contains tiny particles of glass and pulverised rock which can damage engines and airframes and ultimately cause a crash.
In 1982 a British Airways jumbo jet lost power in all its engines when it flew into an ash cloud over Indonesia, gliding towards the ground before it was able to restart its engines, prompting the aviation industry to rethink the way it prepared for ash clouds.
The eruption was growing more intense, warned volcanologist Armann Hoskuldsson, of the University of Iceland. To the east of the volcano, thousands of hectares of land were covered by a thick layer of ash, while a cloud was blotting out the sun in some areas along the southern coast of Iceland.
BA Flight 9: A near disaster
In June 1982, Captain Eric Moody was commanding a British Airways Boeing 747 flying from London to Auckland with 263 passengers on board when it encountered an ash plume from the erupting Mount Galunggung in Indonesia. Within minutes, all four engines on BA Flight 9 had failed. Captain Moody’s announcement has entered airline folklore. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking,” he said. “We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get it under control. I trust you are not in too much distress.” The plane managed to glide out of the ash plume and three engines restarted. The ash cloud had not shown up on the weather radar – designed to detect the moisture in clouds – because it was too dry. It clogged the engines, which restarted when enough of the molten ash broke off after solidifying.
