“And I will bring the third part through the fire and
will refine them as silver is refined and will try them as gold is tried; they
shall call on My name and I will answer them; I will say: ‘It is My people’ and
they shall say: ‘Hashem is my God.’” Zechariah 13:9 (The Israel Bible™)
Experts are concerned that recent signs of increased seismic activity in Yellowstone National Park could be the prelude to a massive eruption that, even by conservative estimates, would have global implications,
including nationwide food shortages.
A Jerusalem Kabbalist explains how this was prophesied in the Bible to
be a painful but necessary part of the Messianic process.
One of
Yellowstone Park’s more impressive sights, a 40-mile-wide caldera crater, is a
grim reminder of the potential for massive destruction that lies beneath the
scenic beauty in the heartland of America.
Super-volcanos
are so explosive that, rather than leave a normal volcanic cone, they create a
massive hole. Yellowstone is a 3,500 square mile crater created 630,000 years
ago when 240 cubic miles of debris were blasted into the air, fueled by a
pressurized reservoir of magma under the park.
Signs of
seismic unrest are beginning to appear. One month ago, the nearby Shoshone
River suddenly started boiling. The water changed color and began to emit a
sulfuric odor, a sure sign of seismic activity that hasn’t been seen in the
river for over 200 years.
This was
followed by increased volcanic rumblings, and though small tremors are common,
Yellowstone was struck by a series of relatively large tremors. On June 9, a
magnitude 3.7 earthquake hit the region, on June 13 there was a magnitude 4.3
earthquake, and on June 15, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0.
Though
most people associate seismic calamity with California and the Pacific Crescent
of Fire, Yellowstone sits on what scientists consider the single most dangerous
volcanic site in the world.
A major eruption at Yellowstone would bring on
global disaster. The chance of such an eruption happening at one of the major
volcanoes within 80 years is put at five to ten per cent by the experts, and
Yellowstone could very well be it.
Underneath
Yellowstone lies a reservoir of magma more than twice the size previously
thought. A US Geological Survey (USGS) study in
2014 discovered that the lava reservoir is enormous: 55 miles by 20 miles on
each side and about 6 miles deep. This is as full as it was when it erupted in
prehistoric times.
A
super-volcano at Yellowstone has the potential to spew more than 240 cubic
miles of magma across Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, more than 1,100 times the
magma that flowed from Mount Saint Helens in 1980, killing 57 people.
Experts
estimate that a Yellowstone eruption would kill 87,000 people immediately,
A
catastrophic eruption in Yellowstone would immediately threaten people in
the heartland of America, but the more devastating effects would be felt across
the entire country and perhaps even the world.
A
layer of ash would cover the entire US and southern Canada, causing damage and
preventing air travel. Europe experienced this in 2010, when relatively
small eruptions at Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland led to 20 countries closing their
airspace to commercial jet traffic, affecting about 10 million travellers.
But an
eruption at Yellowstone would be more than an inconvenience for vacationers and
herds of bison. In a study concluded last year, researchers from the University of Utah called
the magma reservoir under Yellowstone National Park, “one of the planet’s biggest time bombs.”
They
noted that the chances of a catastrophic eruption at this time are small, “but when it does blow, it probably will change the
world.” They predicted that the effects of an eruption
would dwarf any natural disaster to date, similar to nuclear winter, but on a
much greater scale. The study noted that, “these
types of events have been known to touch off ice ages”.
“If another large caldera-forming eruption were to
occur at Yellowstone, its effects would be worldwide. It would drastically
shift the world’s climate,” said researcher Hsin-Hua
Huang.
After a
rash of earthquakes in April, Rabbi Yitzchak Batzri, a known Kabbalist from Jerusalem,
told Breaking Israel News that this
was prophesied in Psalms for the end of days.
Who
looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they
smoke (Psalm 104:32)
“This describes what will happen in the End of Days
before the final redemption,” Rabbi Batzri said. “There will be an earthquake in Israel, but
it will be beneficial, opening up the Temple Mount, bringing forth living waters,
purifying the city to receive the Messiah.”
When
asked about the seismic activity in Yellowstone, the rabbi explained that in
the book of Zechariah, it is prophesied that two thirds of the world will be
destroyed by fire in the end of days.
And
I will bring the third part through the fire and will refine them as silver is
refined and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on My name and I
will answer them; I will say: ‘It is My people’ and they shall say: ‘Hashem is
my God.’ (Zechariah 13:9)
“The entire world will see earthquakes and
eruptions in the end of days,” the rabbi explained. “It will purify Israel, just as a mikveh (pool of water) purifies, but for the rest of the world it will purify by
fire, like a crucible.”
