El Heirro could erupt at anytime: Possible Tsunami US eastern seaboard: Please register for Tsunami

One of my biggest pet peeves here on ATS is when people use the bible to quote "evidence" that something might happen. So let me apologize in advance.

Anyway, I was looking through youtube videos and stumbled upon this passage from Revelation:

The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

Take it with a grain of salt, but couldn't this technically describe almost exactly a La Palma eruption, with the volcano collapsing down into the sea?

I suppose. But people also used that passage for the BP rig disaster. And I imagine someone probably trotted it out for Krakatoa, too, back in the day. Revelation gives me a migraine. I would have preferred it if God would have issued an Apocalypse Guide for Dummies instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian, I don't mean to disrespect the books of my own faith. But that book is a hard one for me to make full sense of. I get the impression it talks about a lot of things that may already have happened, and more than once, too. If you look at the possible evidence for extremely advanced ancient human civilizations, it really makes you wonder how many times we've all been on and off this merry go round.

edit on 13-10-2011 by mossme89 because: (no reason given)

I avoid that like plague now, it's something which already happened, and some one knows and is keeping its secrets. Very possibly Angel= priest, blew his trumpet= used knowledge * and something like a great mountain* = was a very passionate village, township, city etc, thrown into emotional turmoil of life, a third of that life became an illogical war.

Latest news from El Hierro

15/10/2011 @ 11:59 - Scientists claimed yesterday that the eruptive process had stabilized the last 24 hours. The green area that extends over the “Mar de Las Calmas” which since Thursday could be seen not only from most of the southern coast of El Hierro but also from space, is getting larger due to the ocean currents. Researchers at the National Research Council (CSIC) and the National Geographic Institute (IGN) said yesterday through a statement released 7PM, that the eruption of El Hierro “remains stable” as during the last 24 hours it “has maintained a low seismic activity yet continues the same trend in the deformation of the ground.”

Do you know exactly what this means? Do we need to see calm and peace be still to this volcano???What is green? Magma? Has it really slowed but just looks spread further out due to ocean currents fanning it out? Wouldn't it be red if it was volcano?

I'm afraid for this type of volcano I have no idea what will happen next I am still seeing quakes there. So I don't think it has finished yet. Sorry.

I read a recent prophecy about a cliff breaking apart from a very short but big wave. This event was thought to have happened in Greece, can't remember if there was any reason given as to why Greece. A lot of people were standing near a cliff side by the ocean, when the wave came and smashed into the cliff so hard it ended up taking down the cliff along with all the people.

It looks 'green' due to the Volcano being under water.. And the ash mixing with the seawater from space looks greenish... really cool looking!!

That entire chain of islands is full of ancient volcanoes.

Latest news.
15/10/2011 @ 18:09 – A new eruption has been detected on El Hierro at just 2.4 km from the coast of La Restinga and 150 meters deep, according to data provided in a press conference by Juan Manuel Santana, Director General of Security. He confirmed that there is “bubbling” in the sea surface and pyroclastic material floating as a result of magma flowing in shallow waters. Latest new and video

Maybe the calm before the storm????maybe ground is resisting pressure from below and has slowed things - maybe that's how they pop big, we shall see.

No. As I understand it, all the scholars--a rarity--agree that the passage is speaking of a very large meteor/astroid/ somethign

FROM THE SKY crashing into the sea with horrid consequences.

I've never heard of any other interpretation of that passage.

RE the COMMENTARIES at the same link:

Actually--some of the commentaries agree with you. That's a surprise to me. I've never heard of any other explanation in all my 64 years . . .

I don't put any stock whatsoever in the symbolic interpretations. I believe it is a very VERY literal prophecy.

Something is going to happen soon, something big, its been too calm lately.
