Update on a Super-Volcano.

At the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, University of Utah researchers reported new results of their study of the Yellowstone caldera. Dr. Bob Smith stated in a BBC interview, “We’ve been working there for a long time, and we’ve always thought it would be bigger… but this finding is astounding” (New York Post, December 12, 2013). The magma chamber under the Yellowstone basin measures approximately 55 miles by 20 miles, and is three to nine miles beneath the earth. “So what would happen if Yellowstone was to erupt? Something close to Armageddon.” Scientists speculate that if the volcano were to erupt, “it will wipe out America—and have enormous impacts on the rest of the world.” At its last eruption, scientists think the world’s climate changed for several centuries (ibid.).

In geologic time, another Yellowstone eruption is “almost due” (ibid.). Bible prophecies warn that “earthquakes” will occur in the last days; they are just “the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:7-8). Even greater events will occur just before Christ returns. One earthquake will be so powerful that it will cause the sun to become black, the moon to become red, and “every mountain and island” to be moved out of place (Revelation 6:12-16). Could Yellowstone be a tool God uses to fulfill this prophecy?
