Kittim

Isn’t it interesting to find centuries before this event occurs a location in the region of the End Times that relates
to the king of the South. This is an active underwater volcano that has started to create the islands of Zubair.
Will there be a catastrophic eruption that will occur here in the End Times due to tectonic plates pulling apart?

Ships Destroyed
Next, the scripture says “and a third of the ships were destroyed.” The scripture doesn’t tell us if the ships are destroyed
because of the underwater volcano creating a tsunami or through an independent perfect sea storm. All that we
know is that a third of the ships were destroyed. Is this God’s method for destroying the ships of Kittim that
came against the other warring countries in the End Times? This reminds us of the awesome statement in
scripture of working wonders in Exodus and the mighty hand of God.

Exodus 15:9-12 “The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;

My desire shall be gratified against them;
I will draw out my sword, my hand will destroy them.’
10 “You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 “Who is like You among the gods, O LORD?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
Awesome in praises, working wonders?
12 “You stretched out Your right hand,
The earth swallowed them.”

Again, this is evidence of God’s awesome power to blow winds that can cover the sea and sink “like lead” the
enemy and its ships upon the seas. This is to declare to the deceived world this event is again an act from God
through His mighty hand at work. Remember, this event is a “Grand Design” by God and planned from creation.
