The Shaking Continues: The Most Dangerous Volcano In Mexico Has Erupted In
Spectacular Fashion

More than 25 million people live in the vicinity of Mt. Popocatepetl, including Mexico
City’s 18 million residents. At 2:32 local time on Tuesday morning, the most dangerous
volcano in Mexico roared to life in spectacular fashion, and this has many experts
extremely concerned about what is coming next. Popocatepetl is an Aztec word that
means “smoking mountain”, and historians tell us that once upon a time entire Aztec
cities were buried in super-heated mud from this volcano. In fact, the super-heated mud
flows were so deep that they buried entire Aztec pyramids. A full-blown eruption of Mt.
Popocatepetl would be a catastrophe unlike anything that modern Mexico has ever
experienced before, and considering what has been happening in Ecuador, Japan and
at Yellowstone over the past week, I believe that there is great reason for concern.
The eruption of Mt. Popocatepetl very early this morning took residents of the area very
much by surprise. The following is how one Mexican news course reported the news…
“The volcano Popocatépetl came to life at 2:32 this morning, sending out a column of
ash that fell on much of the city of Puebla and closed the airport.
The National Disaster Prevention Center, Cenapred, said the volcano spewed ash to an
altitude of about three kilometers above the crater.
The explosion was accompanied by the emission of incandescent fragments which were
reported to be landing up to 1.6 kilometers away, northeast of the volcano, which is
commonly known as El Popo.”
But words cannot really describe just how spectacular this eruption was.
Meanwhile, seismologists all over the globe are speculating about which area of our
planet may be hit next.
For example, scientists in India believe that the tremendous amount of tectonic strain
that has built up out there could ultimately produce a magnitude 8 or magnitude 9
earthquake, and they are convinced that this quake “can come at any time”…
“A subduction process similar to the one that caused the Ecuadorean quake is
happening under the Himalayan region as well, where the Indian plate is getting inside
the Chinese landmass.
This northward push has been creating a huge amount of tectonic strain in the region,
making it particularly prone to earthquakes.
Scientists believe there is so much energy stored in the area that an earthquake of
magnitude greater than 8, possibly even 9, would be needed to release it. This
earthquake can come at any time.”
Here in the United States, some experts are deeply concerned that the west coast is
particularly vulnerable. One of those experts is former USGS scientist Jim Berkland. The
following is what Wikipedia has to say about him…
“Jim Berkland studied geology at the University of California, Berkeley earning the
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1958. Thereafter he worked for the United States Geological
Survey while pursuing graduate study. In 1964, he took a position at the United States
Bureau of Reclamation. After further graduate study, he taught for a year at Appalachian
State University, 1972–1973, then returned to California to work as County Geologist for
Santa Clara County from 1973 until he retired in 1994.”
During a recent interview with Bobby Powell, Berkland explained that most
“megaquakes” take place either during a new moon or a full moon, and he pointed to the
San Andreas Fault and the Cascadia Subduction Zone as areas that he is particularly
concerned about at the moment…
“Is “The Big One” imminent? Famed USGS scientist Jim Berkland, the man who
predicted the Loma Prieta “World Series Earthquake,” has a terrifying warning for the
West Coast of the US in the wake of massive earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan that
have left hundreds dead, awakened volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of
Fire,” and kicked off earthquake swarms in Hawaii, Arizona, and Yellowstone National
Park.
“Beware the new and full moons,” Berkland says in this exclusive interview. The
“maverick geologist” says that 20 of the last 25 “megaquakes” have occurred on the
dates of new and full moons, the result of “equinoctal tides,” extreme gravitational forces
that cause solid earth to expand and contract much as ocean tides rise and fall.
Berkland says that he is particularly worried about the San Andreas Fault in the LA
Basin and the Cascadia Subduction Zone along the coast of Oregon and Washington
State, where a long overdue earthquake would undoubtedly be accompanied by a
massive tsunami that could kill thousands and cause billions of dollars in property
damage.”
Even though I recently wrote a major article about the vulnerability of the Cascadia
Subduction Zone, I want to make it clear that I am not forecasting that any particular
disaster will hit any particular area at any particular time.
But what we can say with certainty is that the crust of our planet is becoming
increasingly unstable. Our world is being pummeled by dozens of earthquakes of
magnitude 4.0 or greater, and as you read this article a total of 38 volcanoes are
erupting worldwide.
And it is quite interesting to note that in 1906 there were major earthquakes in Ecuador
and Japan that preceded the historic San Francisco earthquake.
On January 31st, 1906 an enormous magnitude 8.8 earthquake hit Ecuador, and that
was followed by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Japan on March 17th.
Of course most Americans have already heard about the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that
hit San Francisco on April 18th of that year, but most people don’t understand that it
came in the context of these other major quakes.
Could we be witnessing a similar pattern today?
In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us that earthquakes in diverse places would be one of the
signs that His return was drawing near. He also explained that the time immediately
preceding His return would be the worst time in all of human history.
Could it be possible that we are now entering that period of time?
