Extinct volcanoes are coming back to life
​1-2-20, Watchers.news* --  An extinct volcano by definition is a dead volcano, which has not erupted in 1000s of years. It's now obvious that volcanoes are erupting at a faster pace, not only around the ring of fire, but also around the entire globe. Even dormant & extinct volcanoes are becoming active again. An extinct volcano by definition is a dead volcano, which has not erupted in 1000s of years and is not expected to erupt ever again. In other words there's no magmatic, seismic or degassing activity going on. Following are five extincts that are suspicious:

1. The Bolshaya Udina volcano is located in eastern Russia may be active again and scientists are worried that it could have "catastrophic" consequences1
2. The Oraefajokull volcano in Iceland has been dormant since its last eruption in 1727-1728 may be waking up2
3.  Sotarà volcano in Columbia has eruption warning levels and would be first in recorded history3 
4. Cerro Negro volcano, and Volcán Chiles volcanic complex  are located along the border of Columbia and Ecuador are are  experiencing unrest.4 
5. California's dormant volcano shows earthquake actovotu on the West Coast — Mammoth Mountain California5 
6. More importantly, unrest is growing right now among some of the world's Super-volcanoes like Laguna del Maule in Chile and Italy's Campi Flerei -- under the city of Naples. Since 2005, Campi Flegrei has been undergoing what volcanologists call an uplift. Campi Flegrei showing signs of reawakening, Italy6
   
7. Toba in Indonesia is showing signs of a possible eruption. People in a state of panic as the ground beneath their homes is becoming hot and emitting steam that smells like sulfur and gas."8
   
8. The Seulawah Agam volcano Sumatran seems to be waking up after 170 years of quiet. 
   
9. Indonesian volcano: Seulawah Agam and Sinabung9 that had been dormant for about 400 years.

Pakistan's 'Earthquake Island' Has Vanished 
7-11-19, LiveScience -- According to NASA  a mud island that burst from the waters off the coast of Pakistan during the deadly 2013  magnitude 7.7 earthquake and volcano has now disappeared into the sea after another earthquake. The 6-year-old island was the product of a "mud volcano," with boulders and rocks on the surface of the 65 feet high, 295 feet wide and 130 feet long island named Zalzala Koh (which means "Earthquake mountain" in Urdu). Now, satellite images show, it's pretty much gone. Officials report that "Islands produced by mud volcanoes in this region have a history of coming and going."

Dozens arrested for arson as deadly wildfires ravage Australia
1-7-20, Two hundred people arrested for arson in Australia;  85% of bushfires started by humans… most deliberately. The fires are primarily raging in New South Wales, which is home to Sydney and more than seven million people.  The fires have killed 25 people [that's known so far] and destroyed hundreds of millions of animals and livestock, thousands of homes and more than 19 million acres of land. [..] Those charged with arson could face harsh penalties, including manslaughter, which carries a penalty of 25 years in prison. Police in New South Wales have taken legal action against 183+ people for fire-related offenses since early November 2019, including "discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land." More here

​Bushfire arson: Why do people deliberately light bushfires?
11-13-19, Australia's most notorious bushfire arsonist is Brendan Sokaluk, a former Victorian Country Fire Authority volunteer, who killed 10 people when he deliberately lit a bushfire on Black Saturday. Sokaluk became one of Victoria's worst killers in 2009 when his fire killed 10 and razed more than 150 homes.

Australian Rainforest burning
9-10-19, Guardian -- In Australia 50% of the Great Barrier Reef, the potential loss of these areas is burning ... there are about 80 fires in Queensland and a further 60 blazes raging through New South Wales. The maps show the east coast terrifyingly lit up like a grotesque Christmas tree. Many of these fires are burning out of control as the relentlessly gusty winds ground the firefighting aircraft needed to bring the blazes under control.

As of January 6, 2020:
Twenty-five people dead
Destroyed: 1588 homes, 153 facilities, 3122 outbuildings

Erick Erickson has a good report and summary of the history of the Islamic terror regime's - IRAN'S  terror - on the world and why President Trump's recent act was the right thing to do killing the monster Iran's General Soleimani.
  ===
1-2-20, Erick Erickson -- I won’t play Iran expert here. I grew up in Dubai in the 1980s. I remember once my school had to be evacuated for days on the threat of a bomb. I remember for a long time having to go through police checkpoints to get into school. Our lunch boxes would be open and book bags searched for bombs.

It was all thanks to the Iranians. At the height of the Gulf War, my father on an oil platform had to be evacuated as the Iranians decided to blow it up. Thankfully, they didn’t hit his, but others. One day, from school a few blocks from the Persian Gulf, we could see smoke on the horizon as platforms burned. We could hear the explosions. 
 Iran has been messing with us for a long time and we have treated them like gnats to be swatted. Eventually, a gnat might bite; it can become more than a nuisance. 
 Over the past few years, the Iranians have become more aggressive. The Obama Administration’s Iran Deal did not stop Iranians from exercising terroristic intent across the Middle East; but it did give them money to pay for their attacks.

 Since 1998, Iran's general Qassem Suleimani has been Iran’s puppet master, orchestrating terrorist brigades around the world.  He's now dead thanks to American resolve. If you want a sense of the damage inflicted, survey the headlines of drone attacks, terrorist attacks, bombings and more destruction across the Middle East for the past twenty years.
  Suleimani and Iran have been fighting us and our allies and we have restrained ourselves. Suleimani and Iran could be emboldened knowing we would never strike at them directly.

 Now we have and he is dead and Iran will retaliate.

BREAKING: Trump blames Iran, calls on Iraq to protect US embassy after Baghdad attack
12-31-19, Baghdad Iraq gunfire reported after Iraqi Shiite [Irainian] militia supporters storm compound and started fires. US President Donald Trump sending additional military support to the U.S. embassy. Shiite militiamen and their supporters broke into the US embassy 100 acre compound smashing a main door and setting fire to a reception area. American guards fired tear gas at protesters while columns of smoke rose over the embassy grounds. A reporter at the scene saw flames rising from inside the compound and at least three U.S. soldiers on the roof of the main embassy building. 

Pres Trump blamed Iran for the embassy breach and called on Iraq to protect the diplomatic mission.  He said in a tweet: “Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified!” 

A U.S. defense official told Fox News 100 Marines are being sent to the embassy to bolster security. A U.S. Apache helicopter gunship also flew over the embassy and dropped flares in a “show of force,” attempting to disperse the crowd. A US spokesperson said: “As the president said, Iran is orchestrating this attack, and they will be held fully responsible. It will be the president’s choice how and when we respond to their escalation.”

HISTORY OF US BAGHDAD EMBASSY OPENED IN 2009 GW BUSH & OBAMA SPENT $850 MILLION ON 100 ACRE COMPOUND
In 2003 under Republican President George W. Bush the United States invaded Iraq and overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein. The U.S. then established diplomatic relations with the new Iraqi government. The old U.S. embassy was deemed unsafe for American diplomats and remained deserted so a temporary embassy was established in the Republican Palace.[10] Then on 100 acres in 2005 construction began on the decadent Baghdad US 'palace.' The completion target date was September 2007. Pres Bush sent Congress an FY2005 emergency funding request for the embassy in Iraq. In 2013 Business Insider reported that the cost of the embassy had surpassed $750 million.[14] The embassy formally opened behind schedule in January 2009 with a staff of over 16,000 people. In 2012 Obama requested more than $100 million for a "massive" upgrade to the compound.[15] ​ As of 2006, construction was being led by First Kuwaiti Trading & Contracting. [18] [Didn't even give the job to American contractors??] The embassy features extensive housing and infrastructure facilities in addition to diplomatic buildings as follows[11]. Source Wikipedia

• Six apartment buildings for employees
• Water and waste treatment facilities
• A power station
• Two "major diplomatic office buildings"
• Recreation, including a gym, cinema, several tennis courts and an Olympic-size interior swimming pool as well as one outside

The complex is heavily fortified... including deep security perimeters, buildings reinforced beyond the usual standard, and five highly guarded entrances.

SICK! As Fighters Stormed Baghdad Embassy, Democrats Blamed Trump for Iran Militia Attack, Some Cheered for Benghazi Replay 
12-31-19, A leading Never-Trumper attacked President Trump even as Iranian backed militias were storming the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, with several blaming Trump–not Iran–for the attack while others cheered for a Benghazi replay. It was so bad that a Hillary Clinton State Department/Obama NSC alum called on one Democrat group to delete a Benghazi tweet about the Baghdad attack.

12-28-18: Waterford Ireland - Worldwide millions of people will gaze upon the famed New Year's Eve crystal ball as it makes its countdown drop to mark the new year in Times Square New York USA. 

Irish citizens watching the New Year's ball drop can take particular pride knowing that - that crystal ball was designed and made by Waterford Crystal in Ireland. The time-honored Irish company began in 1783 in the Irish Viking town of Waterford and became world famous for their exquisitely crafted crystal pieces. 

In 2018 for the New Year 2019, Waterford engineers installed the new crystal triangles in New York's Times Square.

Times Square New Year's Eve ball 
History: In 1907, the 700-pound ball was made of iron, wood and covered with 100 light bulbs. Throughout the years, it upgraded to another iron ball in 1920, an aluminum ball in 1955, a computerized aluminum and rhinestone ball in 1995, a crystal ball in 1999, a LED Ball to celebrate the centennial in 2007 — and finally, was replaced with the current ball. The concept of dropping a ball to mark time in New York USA dates back to the mid-1800s in England. One of the earliest time-balls was the one  atop the Flamsteed House of the Greenwich Observatory along the River Thames.

Starting in 1833, it was lowered every day at exactly 1 p.m. to signal the time to sailors and Londoners who could not afford clocks and watches. 

The drop was added to pre-existing festivities in the area and has heralded in every year since, with the exception of 1942 and 1943, according to timessquarenyc.org. 

For Times Square 2019 the New Year's Eve Ball, introducing the "Gift of Harmony". The new design utilizes small rosette cuts flowing into each other in harmony.

• The Times Square ball is 12-feet in diameter and weights almost six tons. It is covered with 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles that vary in size, which are attached to the aluminum frame of the ball.
• Lighting up in various colors, the triangles contain LEDS that illuminate in red, blue, green and white. They are capable of displaying more than 16 million vibrant colors that create a stunning kaleidoscope atop Times Square.
• Each year, the triangles take on a different meaning. For 2017, the Waterford triangles introduce the “Gift of Kindness” with a design of rosettes — symbolizing unity — with fronds reaching out in an expression of kindness. There will be other designs throughout the ball, including the “Gift of Wonder” and “Gift of Fortitude.” Other triangles will represent the “Gift of Imagination” with a series of intricate mirrored wedge cuts to inspire our imaginations.
• The first New Year’s Eve ball descended One Times Square in 1907 [more here]

Luke 17:22-31

​12-29-19, Today John Haller does a review of  2019 with a focus on the upcoming year 2020. He again reports on world events and Bible prophecy while remaining steadfast in Fellowship Bible's mission to preach the Good News of the Gospel of salvation only possible through the Messiah savior, Jesus Christ [John 14:6].

As we move forward into 2020, we do so with hope and encouragement. While it can be quite daunting to wake up each day and see the headlines from all over the world making it seem as if it is spinning out of control, may we remind ourselves that the same Architect that set the universe into motion [the Lord God almighty] is the very same One who holds it together.

May God bless each and every one of you in your walks with Him in 2020, whether it occurs across rocky terrain or smooth sandy beaches. Go in peace and walk with Him in faith, knowing that for the believer, we are never abandoned or alone when we know Christ as our Savior. That alone should inspire us to boldly proclaim the gift that He freely offers to those who humble themselves and accept Him into their lives. All who love the Lord said:

'PRAISE THE LORD AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020!'

Genesis 7:6-8
Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth. And Noah entered the ark, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives, to escape the waters of the flood. The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground…

Genesis 19:1 
The two angels entered Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed with his face to the ground,

Jeremiah 50:40
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah along with their neighboring towns, declares the LORD, No one will reside there; no man will dwell there.

7-17-19, Essentially the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is warning that “global economies” will contract by $455 billion next year due to the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S., China, the EU and to a lesser extent Japan. The IMF is correct in part (the effect), incorrect in part (the cause), and mostly hypocritical. The Euro-minded IMF rails against the high value of the U.S. dollar, but simultaneously ignores the motives behind the intentional devaluation of currencies that are pegged against the dollar. ​The IMF has been at odds with U.S. President Trump over his use of tariffs to resolve trade imbalances, but its assessment that the dollar is overvalued is likely to give Trump more fodder for his frequent complaints that dollar strength is hampering U.S. exports. Trump has railed against European and Chinese policies that lead to what he calls a devaluation of the euro and other currencies against the dollar.  China and the EU have devalued their currency in an effort to block the impacts from President Trump and the ‘America First’ trade policy. Because those currencies are pegged against the dollar, the resulting effect is a rising dollar value. In essence, the globalist IMF is now blaming President Trump for having a strong economy that forces international competition to devalue their currency.

Donald Trump is the most transformative economic President in the last 75 years; the post-WWII  1947 Marshall Plan [2] was set up to allow Europe and Asia to place tariffs on exported American industrial products  (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) . Those tariffs were used by the EU and Japan to rebuild their infrastructure after a devastating war. However, there was never a built in mechanism to end the tariffs hurting the USA…. until President Trump came along and said: “it’s over!”

The U.S. was a sucker to keep letting the process remain in place while we lost our manufacturing base to overseas incentives. The investment process from Wall Street (removal of Glass-Stegal) only made the process much more severe and faster. Wall Street was now investing in companies whose best bet (higher profit return) was to pour money overseas. This process created the “USA Rust Belt.”

Fast forward to 2017 through today, and President Trump is now engaged in a massive and multi-dimensional effort to re-balance the entire global wealth dynamic. By putting tariffs on foreign imports he has counter balanced the never-ending Marshal Plan trade program and demanded renegotiation(s). Trump’s goal is reciprocity; however, the EU and Asia, specifically China, don’t want to give up a decades-long multi-generational advantage. One could argue that China’s rise happened inside this period, and as a consequence they have no comprehension of an economic history without the institutional advantages. They’ve never competed with the U.S. under any terms of equivalence or fairness; they’ve only known the advantages. Combine that with the Chinese communist mindset and you get the extreme severity of their position.

***
​No-one, ever, could take on all these interests; the EU, Asia, World Bank, IMF, China, Russia, Iran, U.S. Congress, Democrats, Wall Street, Lobbyists, Hollywood, Corporate Media (foreign and domestic) and the ankle-biters in Never Trump -- all are/were aligned against Main Street USA and against President Trump. They say he’s only one outnumbered man; yet somehow, as unreal as it seems, he’s the one who appears to have them surrounded. Incredible. Lord knows we can’t spare this man. He fights!

Many believe God placed him for such a time as this; the Lord receives our prayers for him, his family and his staff.

Abortion Kills Humans
12-31-18, DailyWire -- An estimated 60 million unborn babies have died since the passage of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Thankfully President Trump has been making great strides to curtail the United States from the brutal killing of unborn human babies. The total number of abortions worldwide stands just 17 million people below the total number of general deaths worldwide (59 million), which does not factor abortion into its statistic. That means the correct total number of deaths worldwide in 2018 stands closer to 101 million. Those who would accuse pro-lifers of drastically over-inflating the numbers or wrongfully equating abortions with death fundamentally deny science.

How can we deny that there is a direct parallel between mankind's sin and the consequences of that sin?
Argentina homosexuality & God? USA abortion, homosexuality & God??

Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago. She was rich in 1914 because of commodities; its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it: cheap labor was what counted. That attitude prevailed into the 1940s, when Argentina had among the highest rates of primary-school enrolment in the world and among the lowest rates of secondary-school attendance. Primary school was important to create a sense of citizenship; but only the elite needed to be well educated. [..snip]

Now in the USA too many of our youth go all through 12 grades unable to read, write and add 2 + 2. The USA is on the same path as Argentina.

11-20-19, * -- Sweden is reeling from a wave of killing by car/truck, shootings and bombings with 268 shootings so far just this year, 2019. And that's in a country of 10 million people which has crime numbers on par with some American cities. These shootings aren't being carried out with handguns, but with AK-47 rifles. The weapon featured in everyday gun violence that's a staple of Sweden’s gang war scene. Along with hand grenades and other explosives rarely seen in America. The weapon flow into Sweden & Denmark are coming from Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, Jordan and Somalia. Police have asked gang members to turn in their grenades ... worked as well as expected. It didn't.

There have been 187 bomb attacks this year. In just 1 week in August, there were three major bombings. Much of the violence is concentrated in [Muslim onclave] Malmo which experienced 58 bombings in 2017.

Swedish authorities and its media rarely discuss or name the perpetrators. A recent shooting left Jaffar Ibrahim, a 15-year-old boy, dead; shot in a Malmo pizzeria. The shooting attack was preceded by a car bombing which was used as a diversion. Nine out of 10 shooters are foreign immigrants or the children of foreign migrants. However, Muslim gang violence in Sweden isn’t just its problem anymore; also in:

• Copenhagen with explosions outside a police station and a tax office over the summer. The targets were political and the bombs weren’t fireworks or hand grenades, but commercial explosives used for demolitions. The suspects turned out to be criminals who had entered from Sweden. Denmark has reacted to the terror traffic from Sweden by imposing border controls on bridge crossings.

Europe’s open infrastructure, its rejection of national and regional borders, has worsened the problem. From the mass flow of migrants from Muslim countries to the ease with which Muslim gang members move between European countries, the lack of border security has made the conquest of Europe easy.

Government [Sociaist] agencies suggest a comforting message that the solution to Islamic violence is social welfare. Their answer to everything. It's been tried but Muslim migrants are so deep in the social welfare system that they often never leave it. The gang members and ISIS terrorists are the welfare system’s children. 

While the same old lies keep being told, the bombs keep going off, the bullets keep flying and AK-47 fire is heard in broad daylight; the Islamic terrorists are protected while they kill law abiding citizens. In the USA presidential hopeful Socialist Bernie Sanders would like America to be more like Sweden ; causing taxes to fund social welfare programs for killers. *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Daniel Greenfield here

President Trump was right about Sweden
In 2017 President Trump was right about Sweden. Sweden is the tip of the Spear in the multicultural attack on Western nations. On Jan 3, 2017 Vice Prime Min Mona Sahlin of Sweden said, “I think it is that which makes many Swedes so envious of immigrant groups. They have a culture, an identity, a history, something that binds them. And what do we have? We have Midsummer Eve and such silly things.”
This sort of insanity is rampant on the Left. They view thousands of years of Nordic culture as irrelevant and manufactured on the back of white privilege. They don’t allow their rich history to bind them with their countrymen because to do so would be a racist declaration of self-determination. In defiance of this fabricated “racism” they instead make excuses for foreign ideology and culture. Recently a court ruled that it was legal to fly an ISIS flag which should come as no surprise after their expert on Islamophobia left the country to join ISIS.

8-8-19, RadioFreeEurope -- Russian Pres Putin and French Pres Macron met to discuss the Russia and Ukraine prisoner exchange and peace with Ukraine. On Sept 7, 2019 a total of 70 prisoners were exchanged; a move praised by the West as an opportunity to improve tense relations between Kyiv and Moscow. After being elected in April 2019, Ukraine’s new President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for a four-way meeting in a Normandy format: Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France to revive peace talks with Putin. Macron and Putin also discussed Iran and keeping in place a 2015 deal that gave Iran access to world trade, including the sale of oil, in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.

Volodymyr Wants to Meed Vladimir
7-8-19, Reuters -- Ukraine's Pres Elect Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, “And now I want to turn to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Need to talk? It is necessary. Let’s discuss to whom Crimea belongs and who is not there in the Donbass.” 

Vladimir Shows Carrot and Stick to Volodymyr
4-25-19, WallStreetJourn -- Apparently Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended an olive branch to Ukraine’s president-elect Volodymry Zelenskiy in his first public comments since Sunday’s vote. He said, “We want and are prepared to fully normalize our relations, but we cannot do that unilaterally.” According to Gazeta.ru (Russian news site based in Moscow) Russia does not need to return to the G8. Russia, regardless of its presence or absence in the G8, is becoming the most important negotiating party for the West ... Russia has already returned to the club of leading world powers.

​9-1-19, John Haller's message today covers things converging on both a geo-political scale as well as one of relative morality, every event can be significant.

To the discerning mind, the degradation of all things good is obvious and clear; but the adversary is the author of confusion and he is using the age-old technique of inserting just a little bit of poison into the truth so that it corrupts the entire body currently:

• teaching that birth and genetics DOES NOT determine gender
• alleged psychiatrists who falsely claim that President Trump has killed millions more than Mao or Hitler
• increasing tensions on the northern border Lebanon/Syria of Israel

It really "is a big deal" when we examine questions of our faith and beliefs. As the world veers wildly off course, we intended to stay fully grounded as a bulkhead against the coming tidal wave of apostasy.

8-7-19, BBC -- Venezuela Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez declared his unconditional loyalty to President Maduro saying, "We are determined, determined to defend our homeland, our constitution, our democracy, our institutions."President Maduro was speaking at an event to mark the anniversary of the national guard when a 'bang' is heard and footage of his speech shows the president suddenly looking upwards and dozens of soldiers running away. Two drones loaded with explosives went off near the president's stand. 

Six people have been arrested in Venezuela for involvement in an apparent assassination attempt on President Nicolás Maduro. Néstor Reverol said they were part of a group that set off two drones during a military parade in the capital Caracas.

President Maduro was unharmed however seven soldiers were wounded. More here

Ten Days Before Pres Putin's Visit to France A Drone flies over Macron's holiday home and only one day after Venezuela Assassination Attempt on President Maduro 
8-7-19, Fort de Brégançon, a medieval fortress on an islet off the French Mediterranean coast, has been the official retreat of the President of France. Less than a day after the Venezulean President Nicholas Maduro was attacked by drone ... a drone was spotted over Macron's home ...  both incidents involving Macron and Maduro beg the question of whether current security measures to protect global Heads of State are equipped and ready to deal with drone warfare and other forms of terrorism by joystick.

8-20-19, Express.Co.Uk – On Aug 19, 2019, Pres Macron & Pres Putin met at Macron's official holiday island residence in Fort Bregançon in southern France. The French leader is keen to show Moscow it’s not ostracized despite being kicked out of the G7 after its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. However, at the press conference as they took questions the Russian President was quick to dismiss the importance of the G7's existence - President Putin said:
 
“Now on G7? Well, there is no G7. How can we go back to an organization that doesn’t exist? Today is G7, but we cannot go back to G8 because G8 doesn’t exist. There is no G8. But we never say no. It was Russia’s turn to host the G8 and our partners didn’t come. Well, they are welcome anytime. Please, even as G7. But there are other international institutions that play a significant role in international affairs. Take the G20. You have big economic powerhouses like China, India and many others. They count for almost 90 percent of the global economy so we really value these full format platforms. And that’s why we actively cooperate.”
 
The French President appeared to be cringing at the obvious dig launched by the Russian leader over his exclusion to the international forum.
 
It's claimed that Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed forces have killed around 13,000 people since 2014. …Russia denies the accusation saying that Ukraine is not honoring commitments under the ceasefire agreement.
 
One French spokesperson said that “Pres Macron's decision to invite the Russian leader was a very useful attempt to get France, and possibly even Europe, out of an impasse and to end a sterile war of opposing positions that’s been going on for years."
 
Pres Putin’s visit came days before world leaders, including US Pres Trump and the new UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, gather for the August 24-26, 2019 Group of Seven (G7) summit in the southwestern French town of Biarritz. More here

​Europe tsunami warning: Israel Navy drills prepare for tsunami flood ...
8-11-19, Express.Co.Uk -- EUROPE is preparing for a shock 7.0-magnitude earthquake, amid concerns that a doomsday mega-quake could unleash a tsunami into Mediterranean with just 15 minutes warning. On average, a severe tsunami hits the Mediterranean Sea once a century; and Israel’s coastline suffers one on average every 250 years. 

Ten nations' navies carried out a surprise four-day 'Mighty Waves' drill intended to prepare the countries for a earthquake-tsunami disaster. Forces from Israel, US, France and Greece took part in the doomsday drills in Israel's Haifa port that responded to a simulated 7.0-magnitude earthquake.

Earthquakes and eruptions go hand in hand

8-12-19, As we attempt to understand and interpret almighty God's mysteries of the end time events; we can logically conclude that the darkening of the moon & sun are being caused by volcanic ash. The world currently has over 50 active volcanoes.

Volcanic ash particles of igneous rock is blown into the air by an erupting volcano.  The ash column produced by the eruption of Mount St. Helens Volcano in Washington State USA lifted over 70,000+ feet into space.

In less than ten minutes the St Helen's eruption, the explosive release of hot volcanic gases and ash to an altitude of 22 kilometers [72,178.5 feet]. The volcano is located in the Cascade Range and is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 volcanoes. Mount St. Helens is most notorious for its major eruption on May 18, 1980, the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in U.S. history. Fifty-seven people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. Then, strong prevailing winds carried the ash to the east at about 100 kilometers per hour. In less than four hours, ash was falling on the city of Spokane about 400 kilometers away from the vent. Two weeks later dust from the eruption had been carried around the Earth. More here

Examples of Dust From Volcanic Eruptions Blocking the Sun 
4-25-17, Sciencing.com -- Its ash cloud blackened the region, killing 92,000 people and destroying crops. The following year, 1816, became known as the “year without a summer.” The volcanic ash and gases in the atmosphere caused weak sunlight that year.

In Revelation 6:14, 16:20 it says mountains will be moved.
"And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."

Yes, it's already happened as volcanoes shake and wobble moving them.

India is fencing off its border with Bangladesh. What will that mean for ...
12-20-10, An 8-foot-high, double-walled, barbed-wire fence menaces the border between Sutia, India and Dhannokulla, Bangladesh.
​***

8-1-19, * -- India and Bangladesh are divided not only by a border, but by religion. India has an 80% Hindu majority and a rising 13% Muslim minority. Bangladesh has a 90% Muslim majority. And the tide of Muslim migration from Bangladesh to India is rising. 

India has spent decades building fences, topping them with barbed wire, and installing lights. The lights are there so that the guards can see. Unlike America, there are guards, they have guns and they shoot. 

What makes America’s border different from those of so many other nations isn’t the lack of fencing. Smugglers, traffickers and assorted criminals can often find weak points in any security setup. In most countries, the defense of the border is seen as a national security issue backed by real firepower. 

America’s Border Patrol has less than 20,000 people; India’s Border Security Force has 257,363 people. It’s a paramilitary organization with an intelligence network, ten artillery units, air and marine wings, canine and even camel units. And India's guard's weapons aren’t just there for show. 

In over a decade over 1,000 illegal infiltrators have been killed trying to enter India from Bangladesh. 

[..snip] India’s National Register of Citizens is being used to clarify who belongs in the country and who doesn’t. Those who are unable to prove their citizenship potentially face the Foreigners’ Tribunals, courts that ask the accused to prove their citizenship. If the illegals fail to do so, they can be sent to prison and then deported. If they try to dodge the courts, the machinery of the system will move forward anyway. 

India is also moving against the 40,000 strong Rohingya illegal Muslim population which have been a problem in that country, as well as in Myanmar. India is also making it clear that it will respect legitimate refugees by providing sanctuary to Hindu and Buddhist refugees fleeing Islamic violence. 

There are important lessons from India's effort for the United States in our immigration challenges. 

India’s Modi has been dubbed a natural counterpart to President Trump. Under Modi, the BJP understood that it had to run on migration issues to gain political sanction for a crackdown. Popular support from Indians allowed the government to ignore protests by leftist activist groups like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, the domestic opposition and even the United Nations.

India understood that border security alone would never be enough. Not unless the illegal infiltrators were made to understand that there was no future for them even if they did make it across the border. 

Building a border wall is a partial answer. But the real answer lies in using military force to secure the border, ending the processing of asylum requests, and distinguishing Americans from illegal aliens. India’s example shows that these things can be done. And if India can do them, America certainly can. That winning argument in India, is a winning argument in America.

On 5/24/18 USA Today reported that there are 77 nations with security walls and fences on their borders.  The Holy Bible speaks of unwalled cities Ezekiel 38:11 and the New Jerusalem has walls and gates too. Revelation 21:12

Legislative action will NOT halt mass killing - Mass Shootings: Fallout From a Culture Where Anything Goes and ...
8-6-19, Mass shootings and killings do take place in Europe. In fact, they are a worldwide phenomenon. In March 2019 New Zealand a 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant, a Trump hating liberal Australian man, walked into two Muslim Mosques killing dozens. The outrage was louder because they were Muslims - apparently Muslim blood is more valuable than any other blood?? As the world becomes more Godless; people who are entranced by violence in our electronic games/movies, as we cheapen human life now killing new born children in America's abortion mills, as we demonize our enemies and become “more atomized and desperate,” the mass shootings and the murders on the streets of our cities will continue.
