reminder of scripture? It is through His blood that believers are justified as righteous. Call upon His name and be
saved. In Romans 5:9 it states “…having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God, through Him.”

Underwater volcano erupts like a mountain burning in the sea (GNU)

The scripture says “and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea.” It says “like” a great
mountain. Is this describing an underwater volcano erupting in the sea? It is interesting to find a description of a
small but similar event occurring in December 2011. It is recorded as part of the Daily Mail, a UK news
company, entitled: An island is born: “Amazing pictures show Red Sea underwater volcanic eruption creating new land.”

The association of the Red Sea with the Biblical account of the Israelite crossing the Red Sea is ancient, and was
made explicit in the Septuagint translation of the Book of Exodus. Thousands of years later a volcano eruption
occurs in this area of the Red Sea creating islands. It is amazing the name is Red Sea. Is this a symbol of sea of
blood in the future? Could this be God’s Wrath against the warring nation of the south in the End Times?

Underwater volcanic activity has pushed a previously unseen island to the surface in a remote part of the Red Sea. Fishermen
witnessed spewing lava fountains reaching up to 90ft tall on December 19 near the group of islands known as the Zubair Group, off
the west coast of Yemen.

Days later images released by NASA Earth Observatory show the underwater explosion seems to have created a new island in
between the Rugged and Haycock islands. The image from December 2011 shows an apparent island where there had previously been
an unbroken water surface. A thick plume rises from the island, dark near the bottom and light near the top, perhaps a mixture of
volcanic ash and water vapor.

According to the NASA Earth Observatory website, the existing ten islands poke above the sea surface, rising from a shield volcano.
And as this region is part of the Red Sea Rift where the African and Arabian tectonic plates pull apart and new ocean crust
regularly forms, eruptions are not thought to be unheard of but because of the remote location, they are rarely discovered. Nearby Jabal
al-Tair volcanic island erupted unexpectedly in 2007, after 124 years of inactivity, killing 8 people, as well as the volcanoes of the
Afar Triagle in Eritrea and Ethiopia and the volcanic fields of southern Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
