 Guatemala Volcano Creates CalamityPosted on May 29, 2010
It has been a crazy year for Mother Nature. A volcano in southern Guatemala has erupted, killing one person and covering the capital city with ash as President Alvaro Colom declared the country to be in a “state of calamity.” —JCL Tropical storm Agatha isn’t making things any easier for Guatemalans.

It is very “spooky” that disasters are are coming at a more rapid pace of late. Almost every month we get a major event lately. A lot of it is blamed on global warming. But if there is magma building up underneath the surface, you would see ocean temperatures rise and icebergs melt as well. I never thought that it could be causing a problem with the pressure in oil rigs as well.
Magma buildup causes heat and pressure, which will cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They have been tracking significant magma buildup in the Yellowstone caldera for years. That Yellowstone mega-volcano is overdue, having a 600,000 year cycle. It is reported that 640,000 years have elapsed since last eruption.
An eruption of that Yellowston volcano would become a major extinction event, with ash spewing for months blocking the sun for a decade or more all over North America and Europe, as I understand it.
It is funny that a lot of cultures have stories of major problems coming up soon, such as the 2012 Mayan Calendar stuff. Also the Bible predicting numerous earthquakes in the last days. The Biblical account prophesied a 6000 year period with the last of those days being the tribulation period, before the millenium ushers in the 7th 1000 year period. The 6000 years is not the history of the world, but the history of the Adamic race, which, if you count up the recorded generations since Adam, we are coming up on 6000 years very soon.
It all seems so coincidental. But I am probably just imagining it.

Just another volcano spewing greenhouse gasses.
Cap and Trade those carbon credits.

But, maybe it’s not karma or luck at all…
Maybe it’s something that, we the public aren’t yet aware of…
maybe the earths core is heating up, causing an increase in seismic activity, along with volcanic activity…
maybe the first symptoms will be an increase in the severity of earth quakes, volcanoes, and pressure below the earths crust…
there’s also an incident on an oil rig in the north sea, work crews are fighting to supress a sudden increase in pressure on a well, to prevent what’s happening in the gulf from happening there…
Did you see 2012?

It is not a volcano… It is a spill…
