Experts warn over Iceland volcano
Thursday, 13 October 2011
Experts are warning that an eruption could be imminent at an even more powerful Icelandic volcano than the one that paralysed air traffic last year.
Seismologists are nervously watching rumblings beneath Katla which could spew an ash cloud dwarfing the 2010 eruption that cost airlines two billion dollars (£1.27 billion) and drove home how vulnerable modern society is to the whims of nature.
Brooding over rugged moss-covered hills on Iceland’s southern edge, Katla is a much bigger beast than the nearby Eyjafjallajokul volcano, which blasted ash all over Europe for several weeks in an eruption that local scientist Pall Einarsson describes nonetheless as “small”.
Named after an evil troll, Katla has a larger magma chamber than Eyjafjallajokul’s.
Its last major eruption in 1918 continued more than a month, turning day into night, starving crops of sunlight and killing off some livestock.
The eruption melted some of the ice-sheet covering Katla, flooding surrounding farmlands with a torrent of water that some accounts have said measured as wide as the Amazon.
Now, clusters of small earthquakes are being detected around Katla, which means an eruption could be imminent, seismologists say. The earthquakes have been growing in strength, too.
After a long period of magnitude three tremors, a magnitude four quake was detected last week.
“It is definitely showing signs of restlessness,” said Mr Einarsson, a professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland.
Teams of seismologists and geologists at the university are tracking the spike in seismic activity and working with disaster officials to prepare communities near Katla like Vik, a small town of some 300 people that is flanked by black sand beaches.
Civil defence authorities have been holding regular meetings with scientists.
Disaster officials have also drafted an evacuation plan and set aside temporary housing, but many fear they may have less than an hour to evacuate once the volcano erupts.
Iceland sits on a large volcanic hot spot in the Atlantic’s mid-oceanic ridge. Eruptions, common throughout Iceland’s history, are often triggered by seismic activity when the Earth’s plates move and magma from deep underground pushes its way to the surface.
The longer pressure builds up, the more catastrophic an eruption can be. Records show that Katla usually has a large eruption twice a century. Since its last eruption was almost exactly 93 years ago, it is long overdue for another, seismologists say.
Icelanders are getting nervous as they mark the anniversary of Katla’s last blast.
“We’ve been getting calls recently from people concerned that Katla is about to erupt because it erupted … in 1918 on October 12,” said Einar Kjartansson, a geophysicist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
“As scientists we don’t see that much of a correlation in the date but there is most definitely increased activity.
The question is whether it calms down after this or whether there is an eruption.”
Of Iceland’s more than 22 volcanoes, seven are active and four are particularly active – including Katla and Hekla.
Although it does not pose the same flood risk as Katla because it’s not situated beneath an icecap, Hekla is one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes and sits in the path of most international flight patterns

‘Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass Away’
His words are now close to being fulfilled in the end of the Gentile Age
As the Phenomena He Controls are groaning into Operational Position
To Fulfill One of The Last Jerusalem Prophecies From His Physical Lips!
Luke 21:11 – And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Matthew 24:21,22,35 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. [35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
I know these two Scriptures above will definitely be fulfilled some day, and I believe they are likely to suddenly begin at some point in time between 2013 and 2015.
I believe the following Scripture will mark its beginning.
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;
And the worldwide increase in volcanic eruptions accompanying a huge earthquake outbreak along the tectonic plate boundaries, will gradually fill earth’s atmosphere above the tropopause with a volcanic cloud that slowly rolls together like a Hebrew scroll, such that all the heavenly bodies disappear from view before the sixth trump sounds.
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.
Zechariah 14:6,7 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: [7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 183A
July 31, 2004
Tectonic Chaos – Chapter 6 – The Gray Thickens
Zechariah 14:6 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
As I indicated in Chapter 1 of this series, due to requests for copies of my first book, which I allowed to go out of print, I decided to reprint it, making any changes necessary to update it after 27 years have past. I updated Chapter 4, “The Blue Turns to Gray” in a previous Prophecy Update. Much of Chapter 6 deals with the same phenomena in Chapter 4, because when I wrote “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” I combined the two into a single chapter. The Birth Pang Figures in our Archives that deal with Chapter 4 are Numbers 10 to 14, while those dealing with Chapter 6 are numbers 14 to 16.
Modern man in his running “to and fro” has discovered the strange qualities of sunlight. We now know that in some ways sunlight behaves like waves, and at other times it
behaves as though its composition is a maze of particles. Man has discovered several laws of light. Two in which I am particularly interested are the law of diffuse and regular reflection of light, and the law of the refraction of light. All laws in the world of science are of God. They are like the one who made them in his natural creation, in that they do not change, and are consistent in producing the same results. It is not the purpose of the author to teach physics to the reader, so I will refrain from a technical discussion of the two laws, but will refer those interested to a general physics text. The reason “the light will not be clear, nor dark,” is that the earth’s upper atmosphere (the stratosphere) will be filled with a cloud of suspended, microscopic, volcanic particles. The incoming light from the sun, by a process of diffuse reflection, scattering, and refraction, while passing through the cloud shield, will be dimmed such it will not be “bright as day” on earth’s surface, nor will it be “dark as pitch.” It is the perfect picture of how much light would be reaching the earth’s surface if its stratosphere had been filled with a volcanic cloud of smoke particles. It is precisely what light is like on a cloudy day anywhere, but this will be a cloud covering all the earth, and it will simply be a cloudy day at every point on the surface of the planet. To a Hebrew, like Zechariah, “clear” light was the light that came down on him unrestricted by clouds, while “dark” was the total absence of light as on a starless night. It will not be totally dark or totally bright anywhere on earth. There is no better way to put it, a cloudy day is one in which the sunlight is restricted in its full glow on earth’s surface but, on the other hand, it is not pitch dark, and there is some light (See Birth Pang Figure 14).
Zechariah 14:7 – But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
A most unusual phenomenon: light at night from the sun! When will it occur? The answer is found in verses 4 and 5, which describe the cleavage of the Mount of Olives, a definite occurrence of the latter portion of the Tribulation Period. In the latter part of the Tribulation Period the great cloud shroud of figure 14 will have established itself around the entire earth above the tropopause. It is this great cloud shroud that will fulfill the prophecies of verses 6 and 7. Verse 6 states that the light will not be clear nor dark. To a Hebrew, clear light was unobstructed light, a light that came from its source to fall on an object with few, if any, obstructions along its path. A Hebrew viewed darkness as the absence of light. So we are advised that there will be some light (it will not be pitch dark), but the light will not be clear light (it will be partially obstructed). This is a perfect description of what we call a cloudy day. On days when the skies are overcast we do have light, but it is not clear light, for the clouds obstruct our view of the sun.
The light on a cloudy day always reaches us by a process that involves reflection, refraction, and scattering of the light from the sun. During the latter portion of the Tribulation Period man will not see the sun. But limited light, of varying degrees, will penetrate the great cloud shield in the stratosphere. It will be a very dull, gray, depressing light in which the inhabitants of the earth are struggling for survival. But how can it come to pass “that at evening time it shall be light?” How is it possible that, at every location on the face of the earth, there will be some light during the evening hours when normally it is pitch dark?
About 20 years ago, after presenting a lecture series in California for Dr. Reed, I departed the Los Angeles area by jet to Dallas, flying at an altitude just below 40 thousand feet.
It was a beautiful day from the surface to the top of the atmosphere along the entire flight path, with clear skies above and below the aircraft. As we crossed Arizona and New Mexico the light from the sun beamed upon the ground below us, and through the air above us.
When we crossed into Texas there were no clouds below or above us, and the sun was beaming on the aircraft with its full brilliance, but as I looked toward the earth’s surface I begin to notice tiny pinpoints of light on the ground.
People had turned on the lights below us because it was dark at ground level. The curvature of the earth had already blocked off the surface rays of the sun at ground level across Texas, but at our flight level and above it was broad daylight. If there had been a way for me to take the light at high levels and direct it downward, it would have produced light on the surface below, where darkness had enshrouded Texas. It is not by accident that the God of light, who is Light, has very conveniently established a law in nature where this is predictably possible – The law of refraction.
Laws are not theories. They are like God because they are made by God. They are consistent and can always be counted to act in a predictable, unchanging manner. It is not my purpose to teach physics, so I will refrain from a technical discussion of the law itself, and will rather refer those interested in such a dissertation to any general physics textbook. Refraction occurs because light waves travel at different speeds through different substances. Refraction involves the bending of light waves as they move from one medium to another.
In figure 15 you can see the bending effect on light as it passes from a less dense medium (air) into a denser medium (water). If you want to see this bending of light in action, drop a pencil and a coin into a glass about three-fourths full of water. The pencil will appear to be broken at the water surface, and the coin will appear to be on the side of the glass. This is a phenomenon produced by refraction.
Why is it that we still have light long after the sun has disappeared over the horizon? And why do we have light in the morning before the sun comes into view? You guessed it! It is the law of refraction at work. As the sun’s rays travel through space, they move very rapidly, as if in a vacuum, but when contact is made with the more dense atmospheric medium of the earth, the light decelerates, and is bend around the curvature of the earth by the law of refraction. This law causes the light to reach the surface before the sun appears in the morning, and to trail behind on the surface long after the early evening sun disappears.
The great cloud of volcanic smoke will be firmly established as shown in figure 14 by the time the battle of Armageddon occurs. This great encompassing shroud will vertically be thousands of feet thick and, as such, a very dense medium through which the sun’s rays must filter on their way to the earth’s surface. As the rays filter through by refraction and scattering, they will be severely bent around the curvature of the earth’s surface. As you may observe in figure 16, the small island, on the opposite side of the earth from the sun, would normally be experiencing an evening of complete darkness.
However, because of the refraction and scattering of sunshine through the great volcanic cloud, light would be bent around the earth to strike the island, and “it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.” Such would be the case at every location on the surface of the earth. The intensity of the light at any given point would be affected by the distance it had to be refracted, and by the thickness of cloud through which it had to pass. No spot on the earth would receive clear light (unobstructed), and no spot on the earth would ever be dark (lightless).
