It’s been on our news x
Very sad to see what it is destroying, but this is what volcanos do from time to time. We build around them and are staggered when they erupt ……….last time was 50 years ago, not that long really.
It’s such a pretty island , now areas covered with lava. So many communities around the world having to pick themselves up after devastation ……so many places will be sad, grieving, questioning , angry……fuel for the powers in the spiritual realm to work with…

@Rita We trust indeed it will drive people to their knees and the Scriptures...

a new landscape.
As I was watching the land be covered with the burning lava and the structures falling,
I thought.. new mountains being formed.
We look at our surroundings and the lay of the land. I travel over mountains to get to town.
I never really consider how those mountains got there in the first place.
Over time grass will grow, trees will grow, wild life will come back, and what is now will be forgotten in generations to come.
Isn't there a verse about there being sorrow before joy?
Having to do with new birth, new beginnings.
I pray and am sad for those who are living through this at this time.
I pray everyone and whatever livestock and animals made it away safely.
About a week ago? there was an earthquake that gave people a heads up this was going to happen, so it wasn't a surprise.
They say this could last for weeks or even months. I hope the people are able to relocate and eventually rebuild.

Mankind is not very merciful when it comes to the earth.
Maybe it just needed to let off some steam.
I don't think this is the end of it though,
lots of changes are coming.

Just try to be prepared for anything the best you can.
God is going to shake the earth...
it's time for a renewal.

Hugs

@Ziggy Kind of reminiscent of scenes from Revelation, I guess...

Like I said, above, let's hope it drives people to their knees and to the Scriptures...

Sometimes the Lord has to push a few buttons to wake people up.

Seriously - do you honestly believe this thread needs that kind of comment @Truman !?

What, making covid part of yet another thread won’t hurt……..perhaps you should consider the complaining and moaning about masks in reality of what this thread is about and how much people have lost !
Sarcasm has its place, but just not sure this is the right place ( Prayer forum )
Just my opinion.

I posted about La Palma in another thread somewhere.
Thank You Truman for starting this thread here.
As I was looking around the globe for anyone talking about what was happening in the canary Islands,
I heard crickets...
No one was talking about it. And the only feeds I could find on the internet were not in english.
This thread wouldn't be here if you hadn't posted this Truman.
Thank You for bringing it to our attention.

HUGS

Just because Truman made the thread does not mean that the sarcasm is appropriate….caring is one thing, sarcasm within that care further on down the line shows something else.
Perhaps others think it is ok, I didn’t ……..so I made the comment.

Thank You Rita

Praying that the people get out of the way far enough for any potential destruction. And yes when mount St Helens erupted people had to wear masks here. It was devastating and turned the sky black. There was ash in the air raining down on everyone. You couldn't break without a mask on.

I heard the eruption of Mount St Helens but wasn't down in it. One of my school buddies was though and he recounted the experience to me.
