The Iceland volcano will eventually die down and everything will return to normal, but the great earthquake in Revelation 6:12 will occur at some point in time before 2015, and it will be a part of the beginning of the world’s tectonic plates to shift for a three and one half year period after the earthquake. During this period hundreds of volcanic eruptions will break out in conjunction with the plates shifting.
The smoke clouds from eruptions will form a thick worldwide overcast from the base of the tropopause into the stratosphere by the time the seventh trumpet sounds. I have taught this for 35 years. I could be wrong about the timing of it, but I am certain it will occur.

CHAPTER 4, WHICH FOLLOWS, WAS EXTRACTED FROM “BIRTH PANGS FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT,” A BOOK I WROTE IN 1979.
CHAPTER 4 – FLEEING MOUNTAINS AND ISLANDS
To know that more than 95% of all earthquakes are associated with movement of the world’s tectonic plates, as outlined in BIRTH PANG NUMBER 1, can help us to better understand Revelation 6:12A & 14B, along with Revelation 16:18B & 20.
Revelation 6:12A – “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,
and, lo, there was a great earthquake;” and 6:14B – “And every island and mountain were moved out of their places.” Revelation 16:18B – “And there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great,” and 16:20 – “And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.”
There are several interesting correlations between God’s tectonic plates, his mountains and islands he formed on them, the earthquakes they produce, the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the islands and mountains that ride on them as they float on subterranean lakes of magma, and scriptures referring to islands and mountains in Revelation. Mountains and islands are mentioned TOGETHER only twice in the entire Book of Revelation, once in 6:14 and again in 16:20. The correlations are as follows: (1) The first earthquake in Revelation occurs on the opening of the sixth seal. (2) The last earthquake in Revelation occurs on the pouring out of the seventh vial of God’s wrath. (3) All the terrifying earthquakes, fire, and brimstone of the tribulation period occurs between the sixth seal and the seventh vial. That is not by chance, accident, or coincidence! (4) All the mountains and islands begin to change their latitudinal and longitudinal positions on the opening of the sixth seal (the first earthquake), then continue to move in association with earthquakes from the seventh seal through all seven trumpets, and up to the seventh vial of wrath (the last earthquake). All the islands and mountains reach their final geographical positions on the pouring out of the seventh vial of wrath.
God will suddenly accelerate worldwide tectonic plate movement on the opening of the sixth seal. This will produce the fantastic holocaust described by John in Revelation from the first earthquake in Revelation 6:12 to the final earthquake in Revelation 16:18. The fleeing islands in Revelation 16:20 does not mean all the islands of the earth sank below sea level. It means literally what it says.
A fleeing man is a moving man.
It means the islands moved. Also, verse 20 does not mean all the mountains on the earth were leveled. It simply means they were not found in the same precise geographical location after the great shaking, which occurred between Revelation 6:12 and 16:20.
The first unleashing of a pattern of worldwide earthquakes begins in the Jordan River Valley, and eventually causes two things to occur: a noticeable movement of the tectonic plates on a worldwide basis, which produces horizontal movement and geographical relocation of all mountains and islands in microseconds.
Just how can every island and mountain on the earth’s crust be moved to new locations? The answer is found in the realization that every mountain and island is firmly attached to the earth’s crust, anchored to a fixed set of latitudinal and longitudinal geographical location coordinates, which are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Every mountain on this earth has a central peak set of geographical coordinates, and every island has a central focus set of location components. There is only one way that every island and mountain can be moved to a new location. The microseconds of the geographical coordinates must be changed. That is precisely what will happen when God begins to noticeably shift these massive tectonic pieces of the earth’s crust during the last three and on-half years of the tribulation period.
It is worth noting what is also produced along the tectonic plate borders in conjunction with the earthquakes. Over 90% of all volcanic eruptions occur along the peripheries of the tectonic plates to produce fire, brimstone, and smoke.
This certainly helps to explain the latter portion of Revelation 6:12 – “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.” The great earthquake, which starts the initial worldwide movement of the plates, is also accompanied by widespread volcanic eruptions, whose smoke causes the sun to be darkened, and the moon to take on a blood-red color. As the eruptions continue up to the pouring of the last vial, this ever accumulating volcanic smoke in the stra
tosphere will eventually cause the view of the heavenly bodies to depart from human eyes. The sun, moon, and stars will slowly disappear from view like the writing on a Hebrew scroll slowly disappears when it is gradually rolled together, as indicated in Revelation 6:14 – “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.”

Iceland volcano eruption update: More countries restrict flights

The Czech Republic and Slovakia have closed the airspace over their nations and Hungary, Switzerland, and Romania will soon follow suit as volcanic ash from a volcano in Iceland continues to spread across Europe.
Hungary’s airports will close at 7 p.m. local time (noon, CDT). Switzerland is closing its airspace at midnight local time (5 p.m. CDT) and Romania at 3 a.m. local time Saturday (7 p.m. Friday CDT).
Some airports in Austria began closing at 11 a.m. CDT.
Complete commercial air travel bans remained in place in Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Nearly all airports in Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom also were closed, as were major airports in the north of France, including Paris’ Charles de Gaulle and Orly.
Many airports in Sweden also remained closed.
“We can actually smell the sulphur in the air here now from the volcano cloud,” Tim Farish told the BBC from Oslo, Norway.
Friday afternoon, Eurocontrol, the agency with overall responsibility for air traffic control in Europe, reported that the Stuttgart and Munich airports still were open.
“Forecasts suggest that the cloud of volcanic ash is continuing to move east and south-east and that the impact will continue for at least the next 24 hours,” a Eurocontrol statement said.
In the UK, the National Air Traffic Service (NATS) extended flight restrictions over England and Wales until 7 a.m. BST (1 a.m. CDT) Saturday, although it indicated some flights might be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
“We are looking for opportunities when the ash cloud moves sufficient for us to enable some flights to operate under individual coordination with ATC [air traffic control],” NATS said. “Some aircraft were able to operate at Manchester this morning, although restrictions are now reapplied to Manchester.”
The agency also hinted that some flights might be allowed into Newcastle overnight.
“In general, the situation is dynamic and subject to change,” the NATS statement noted.
“We continue to work closely with airports, airlines, and the rest of Europe to understand and mitigate the implications of the volcanic eruption.”
The Eyjafjallajokull glacier volcano in Iceland continued to erupt Friday, although scientists reported it was producing less ash.
Impact in Chicago
United Airlines canceled all of its Friday flights from O’Hare to Europe, including a flight for Munich. American Airlines Friday canceled flights from O’Hare to London, Manchester, and Brussels. British Airways Flight 294 from O’Hare to London was canceled, but Flight 296, scheduled to leave for the UK capital at 8:10 p.m. was still listed as on-time.
KLM Flight 612 from Chicago to Amsterdam, scheduled to depart at 4:20 p.m., also was still listed as on-time by the O’Hare flight search engine, as was an LOT Polish Airlines flight from Chicago to Warsaw, although the Warsaw airport was closed Friday.
Poland’s Krakow airport also closed Friday, leading to concerns that foreign dignitaries would not be able to arrive for the state funeral Sunday of Polish President Lech Kaczynski. President Obama is among the heads of state scheduled to attend.
Update (3 p.m. CDT): The Munich airport closed Friday evening. British Airways has canceled all Saturday flights into and out of London. Ryanair has canceled all flights to northern Europe until midday Monday. Alitalia was canceling flights to Rome, although the O’Hare flight search engine was showing Alitalia Flight 629 from O’Hare to Rome still on time for a 3:35 p.m. departure. Airports in northern France, including those serving Paris, were expected to remain closed into Saturday. American and United had canceled their overnight flights to Paris Friday, but Air France Flight 667, scheduled to depart O’Hare at 5:10 p.m., was still listed as on-time.
Passengers with flights scheduled to Europe from Chicago should check the status of their flight with their carrier before leaving for the airport.
