I watched "How the Earth Was Made" last night. The episode was on the history and geological evidence of the ultra-violent 1883 eruption of the island of Krakatoa in the south Pacific. Apparenltly 10% of the earth's population heard this one, the loudest sound ever heard on this planet!
But further scientific investigation of the area, plus known "proofing" of it's consequences to the earth's atmosphere, reliably captured in both Antarctica's and Greenland's ice core layers (easily dated via ice "varves", BTW) allowed volcanologist researchers to discover an earlier eruption, similarly memorialized in ice and sediment/ash layers from all over the earth, of about 535 BC, during the days of the Roman Empire.
It was apparently significantly more violent than the 1883 event. (They also warn of the next major eruption, demo'd by the rapid rise of Anak Krakatua (the "son of Krakatoa", an island that has appeared in the ancient caldera of the original volcano. Oh-ohhhh..)
Given the modern-day propensity for jumps-to-judgment, with their hurried and joyous interpretations of such events as the Haitian earthquake, a small flock of red-winged blackbirds falling from the sky coupled with (Oh No!), a typical fish die off, and some incorrect determinations that earthquakes are increasing in frequency...
..all seen as direct and obvious (!!) evidence that the Great Tribulation is en-route to a theatre near you...
What on earth did the priests and shamans during the 1883 eruption think when they actually heard a physical eruption well over 4000 miles away? Coupled with the eventual news release that well over 35,000 people had died instantaneously?
"God is coming, and He's not at all pleased! Beware! The End is Nigh!"
And yet, predictably, it all died down, and a visit to that island now shows plants and animals, all re-introduced by migration, evolution and, well, the natural tendency of life to get on with it, despite the determinations of man's hubris and self-centered beliefs.
Q: are we safe from the Hands of God and His Holy Retributions? Or should I start digging my shelter this morning?
(Say.. .was that a tremor I just felt? oh. no. It was just a truck going by. Damn! Too bad. )
To be honest Rife, I'm not sure many believers (and Americans in general) have ever heard of a dog named Krakatoa. Asking them to find Indonesia on a map is another story. As far as some are concerned, that place is some place in Indiana or it's the "Indian name" for Indiana.
Krakatoa gets all the press, of course, but nearby Tambora, a few years earlier, was also no joke and it is suspected that its blast was even more terrible. Then just a few years after Krakatoa was Pelee in my neck of the woods -Martinique - which killed EVERYONE in the nearby town of St. Pierre with the exception of 2 or 3 people. Since it happened in relatively recent times and close to the U.S and Europe (as opposed to the afroementioned other two), scientists were able to get a better understanding of these NATURAL wonders of the earth that have been blasting off whenever they feel like for millions, upon millions of years now. Those who avoid history books like a plague from Satan naturally freak out when one blows its stack as if it is something new. Yeah; new to them.
Anyhow, the other fun little Caldera is in good old Yellowstone, which will, I'll go on official Prediction & Prophecy record here and now, go "Kah-Bah-Bumpho", realloud, in the not-too-distant future. There's a lineup of past old calderas (crater remnants) strung like pearls directly out to the west of Yellowstone, since the top plate is gliding over the bottom, more fixed plate, and every few tens of thousands of years (in fact, scheduled for any time now, and v. busy geologically in the past 100 yrs), it wants out again!
If so, it's estimated that another typical Yellowstone eruption would eliminate life as we know it for about 1/2 of the SE and Eastern US population, with stunning ecological effects on the rest of the world for the following 20 - 30 years. O. M. G., huh?

Aw, these eruptions are just minor burps compared to the eruptions 250 million years ago that caused the massive Permian extinction...But God hadn't been invented yet, so he could not have caused them.
"Our research is the first to show direct evidence that massive volcanic eruptions — the largest the world has ever witnessed — caused massive coal combustion, thus supporting models for significant generation of greenhouse gases at this time," Grasby said in a release.
The results of the research are published in the current issue of Nature Geoscience.
I saw that on CNN just a bit ago, Fred. My condolences!
Say; do you think a sort of hi-tech heavenly snow-shovel, (Holy-cowâ„¢! blended carbon-fiber bucket, Satanically honed [and thus unbendable...] stainless steel edge, and an ultra-light empty-headed handle, would sell if it were to be labeled "God's Shovel Blade of Holy Snowstorm Retribution: and....$5 of each $289.99 purchase goes into the local NYC Church collection plate! ")
Well yes and no. I mean, what'cha goin' to do anyhow? Pump some concrete down the first boiling lava-filled crevass you see out there? Probably you'll be running for your private waiting Lear Jet to, quick-like, flash the heck outa there!
And let's not forget a prayer for the good but doomed citizens of Livingston, MT. Or anything or place-else within an about 2000 mile radius.
God will Have his Way, huh?

oh. 
no. 
It was just a truck going by. 
Damn! 
Too bad.

Big Bang II. Or is it II? Or IV? Who's counting anyhow?
