🔥 Indonesia’s Mount Semeru, which last erupted in on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021, has awoken once again on Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022. Wow, on the very same day!
🔥 Thousands of residents in Indonesia’s East Java were on high alert on Monday after a violent eruption at the island’s tallest volcano prompted authorities to impose an 8-kilometer no-go zone and forced evacuations of entire villages.
The provincial search and rescue agency deployed teams to the worst-affected areas near Mount Semeru to assess damage, with low rainfall giving some reprieve, Tholib Vatelehan, a Basarnas spokesperson, told Reuters.
“Yesterday, the rainfall level was high, causing all the material from the top of the mountain to come down. But today, so far, there’s no rain, so its relatively safe,” he said.
No casualties have been reported and there has not been any immediate disruption to air travel.
The 3,676-metre volcano erupted at 2.46pm local time on Sunday (0746GMT). Footage shot by local residents showed Mt. Semeru spewing a giant cloud of grey ash high above its crater, which later engulfed the mountain and surrounding rice paddy fields, roads and bridges, and turned the sky black. A video shared by the Environment Ministry on Twitter showed a pyroclastic flow of lava, rocks and hot gases gushing down the mountainside.
People fled the eruption on motorcycles, with almost 2,500 people forced to evacuate, authorities said.
Indonesia’s volcanology and geological hazard mitigation agency on Sunday raised the alert level for Mt. Semeru to the highest level. The agency also issued a warning to residents not to approach within 8 km (5 miles) of the summit, or 500 metres of riversides due to risks of lava flows.
Semeru erupted last year killing more than 50 people and displacing thousands more.
The eruption, some 640 km (400 miles) east of the capital, Jakarta, follows a series of earthquakes in the west of Java, including one last month that killed more than 300 people.
An archipelago of 270 million that sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia is one of the most disaster-prone nations on earth.
With 142 volcanoes, Indonesia has the largest population globally living in close range to a volcano, including 8.6 million within 10km (6.2 miles).
Mauna Loa, which means “long mountain” in Hawaiian, is the largest active volcano in the world. It covers 2,035 sq miles (5,271 sq km), and is one of a chain of five volcanoes which form Hawaii’s Big Island.
In the satellite imagery captured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s GOES-West satellite, you can clearly see the volcanic eruption, a monstrous plume of gas and ash suddenly covering a large portion of the Big Island.
❖ የኅዳር ጽዮን ማርያም / Annual feast of St. Mary of Zion
This is a feast colorfully celebrated every year on Hidar 21 (November 30) at every church dedicated to St. Mary. The day is observed with special fervor particularly in Axum Tsion where the Ark of the Covenant is housed safely. The occasion is attended by massive Christian pilgrimages from all over Ethiopia and also foreign visitors making it one of the most joyous annual pilgrimages in Axum, the sacred city of Ethiopians.
The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion claims to contain The original Ark of the Covenant.The Feast of the Ark of the Covenant (locally known as Tabote Tsion) is held in commemoration of different historical events including the coming of The Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia and the construction of the first church dedicated to St. Mary in Axum.
The day also marks the destruction of Dagon by the power of The Ark of God, as recorded in the Bible, and the return of The Ark to Israel after seven months of exile at the Dagon’s house in Philistine. (1 Samuel 4; 6)
💭 Satellites at the beginning of this year identified new fissures near one of the world’s most active volcanoes, Erta Ale, in Ethiopia, also known as the “steaming mountain” and the “gate of hell.”
🔥The Third World War began on October 24 / 2013 (Ethiopian calendar – on the Days of Saints George and Abune Teklahaymanot) on November 4, 2020, when the Edomites and Ishmaelites opened their Jihad against Axum Zion (on the Ark of the Covenant). The US presidential election took place on this very day.
And just today, it was reported that Ethiopian government and Tigray forces agreed to ceasefire after first face-to-face talks – and this over a million massacred ancient Christians later – and nobody is talking about JUSTICE.
Our expedition leader and guide from VolcanoDiscovery Ethiopia, Enku Mulugeta, visited the volcano in mid-October to make new observations. A couple of significant changes in the southern pit crater have been observed since the last update.
Vigorous lava spattering continues to eject hot, fresh and plastic lava clots that in turn have piled into 5-7 meters high deposits (so-called hornitos) at the northern and southern walls of the crater due to short travel distance from and/or above the vent. Hornito is considered to be rare hawaiian-type phenomena that is formed when part of lava, flowing within lava tube, escapes through a hole out of lava tube due to strong degassing in the form of spattering.
Furthermore, both hornitos are formed on the thin solidified crust of the pit crater, among which a gap resembling a cave-like lava tube appears to be prone to collapse into a large lava lake as it used to be before. Slabs of dark, solidified crust continue to shift on the lava lake surface accompanied by typical bright orange lava glow between them.
🔥 The largest volcano of ALL TIME has just opened up the Earth!
The western region of the US is home to a sleeping behemoth. It periodically stirs, but it hasn’t awoken from its sleep in a lot of years. But when it does awaken, it may howl and heave with a power that has never been seen before.
One of the most remarkable locations on earth is Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. Along with a massive volcano, it also boasts a variety of hot springs and geothermal features, including an active geyser field. Visitors may watch geysers exploding, steam pouring from the ground, and bubbling mud pots. In addition, it’s a terrific place to see animals including bison, elks, antelopes, wolves, and bears. Due to its geographic position, Yellowstone is relatively far away, and its geothermal properties can be dangerous.
Yellowstone National Park is 3500 square miles in size and stands above a volcanic hot zone. The park is mostly in Wyoming, although some areas stretch into Montana and Idaho.
Yellowstone National Park is famous for its canyons, alpine rivers, and lush forests. Yellowstone National Park sits on a super volcano. Super volcanoes produce more than a thousand cubic kilometers of gas, ash, magma, and rock. Super volcanoes that have erupted within the last 100 000 years include Lake Toba in Indonesia, Lake Taupo in New Zealand, and Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
In the last few months, there has been a significant and abrupt uplift inside the volcanic system. This upward movement is most likely driven by rising magma under the surface. While there is no immediate danger of an eruption, scientists are closely monitoring the situation. Join us as we venture to Wyoming to see Yellowstone National Park’s majestic beauty and to learn more about the large abrupt uplift in the volcano system observed by Yellowstone National Park officials and the threat it presents.
The Yellowstone hotspot has remained stable for a long time while the North American continent has migrated southwest. The ancient Yellowstone eruptions may be traced back to what is now known as the southeastern section of Oregon. The most recent eruptions occurred in the northeast area of Wyoming, where the Yellowstone Super volcano has erupted three times. The park’s hot springs, geysers, and other hydrothermal phenomena are caused by the super volcano, the most recent of which happened 640 thousand years ago.
The super volcano also built the caldera in which the park is located. A caldera is a bowl-shaped depression produced by the eruption of magma or lava from a volcano. Yellowstone’s caldera is approximately 34 miles wide, and the super volcano’s most recent eruption occurred after a period of slumber. Over time, the caldera filled with water, and forestation occurred, resulting in an environment that is home to many different animal species. Yellowstone National Park, according to park experts, is a safe refuge for one of the world’s largest super volcanoes, which is displaying indications of life.
It has been 640,000 years since the beast last awoke, roaring. 1,000 cubic kilometers of ash and lava were expelled during the supervolcanic eruption, which is 8,000 times more than Mount St. Helens emitted in 1980. The Yellowstone eruption area fell in on itself, leaving a 1,500 square mile buried huge crater or caldera. The famous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots in the park are still heated by the magmatic energy that drove that eruption and two others that occurred over 2.1 million years ago.
Now, officials with Yellowstone National Park have discovered that a sizable piece of magma has begun to pulse. People are currently wondering whether or not this ticking time bomb will burst. Could it erupt within our lifetimes if it does? And why is a Chicago-sized portion of Yellowstone pulsing?
“Aliens„ could be watching the countdown to an apocalyptic eruption at Yellowstone supervolcano.
UFO and Alien hunters have seen an uptick in alien activity around Yellowstone National Park which is in fact an active super volcano.
UFO orbs hovering, circling, passing to and from over the Old Faithful Geyser at the Yellowstone National Park.
There are rumours that a a clandestine group linked to the Illuminati is also planning to set off a false flag induced eruption at Yellowstone.
An eruption at Yellowstone supervolcano is overdue and when it occurs it could destroy all life in north America and usher in a new ice age.
The largest river in northern Italy is starting to dry up, as the region grapples with the worst drought the country has seen in 70 years.
Unusually low levels of River Po – Italy’s largest river – are transforming the country’s large fertile region, affecting crop production and threatening the densely populated region with a serious drinking water shortage.
While Northern Italy hasn’t seen normal rainfall for more than 110 days, the problems start in the mountains where the seasonal snowfall has been at its lowest for 20 years – 50% less than the seasonal average.
Rivers and streams in the Po district are at critical levels due to scarce winter precipitation, both snow and rain, causing severe to extremely severe drought conditions not seen in the region in 70 years, according to the Po River Basin Authority.
All measuring stations at the Po River, with the exception of Piacenza, are in severe drought conditions, with flow rates well below the averages for the period.
The precipitation that fell in May was mainly due to localized thunderstorms, even violent, but not sufficient to fill the deficit since the beginning of the year.
Temperatures in the month of May were above average for the period, with maximum values close to or locally above historical records for the month, with significant thermal anomalies beyond the first appearance of the first heat waves, which generated a sharp increase in the phenomenon of evapotranspiration.
At a monitoring station in Boretto, Alessio Picarelli, head of the Interregional Body of the Po River (AIPO), received results that the Po was measuring 2.9 m (9.5 feet) below the zero gauge height, which is drastically below the seasonal average. This is causing the seawater to be sucked back upstream, bringing saltwater into the earth and poisoning crops.2
According to the farmers’ association Coldiretti, the drought in the Po River Valley threatens more than 30% of national agricultural production, including tomato sauce, fruit, vegetables, and wheat, and half of the livestock of the country.
“In the face of a water crisis, the severity of which is about to surpass what has ever been recorded since the beginning of the last century, we ask that a state of emergency be declared as soon as possible in the territories concerned, taking into account the serious prejudice of national interests,” the president of Coldiretti, Ettore Prandini, said in the letter sent to Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
Rome, Enough is Enough! Roma, Basta!
In Historical Context, Rome Caused Massive Destruction to The Zionist Community of Northern Ethiopia.
Esau is The Ancestor of Pagan Rome
The most hated of [God’s] sons is in your womb, as it says (Mal 1:3), “But Esau I have hated…”
Malachi used by Paul in Romans: God hates Esau, says the prophet Malachi, but in this case, Esau is not a code for Paul’s opponents but for the Roman Empire.
Edomites Descendants of Esau
The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, the firstborn son of Isaac and the twin brother of Jacob. In the womb, Esau and Jacob struggled together, and God told their mother, Rebekah, that they would become two nations, with the older one serving the younger (Genesis 25:23). As an adult, Esau rashly sold his inheritance to Jacob for a bowl of red soup (Genesis 25:30-34), and he hated his brother afterward. Esau became the father of the Edomites and Jacob became the father of the Israelites, and the two nations continued to struggle through most of their history. In the Bible, “Seir” (Joshua 24:4), “Bozrah” (Isaiah 63:1) and “Sela” (2 Kings 14:7) are references to Edom’s land and capital. Sela is better known today as Petra.
The name “Edom” comes from a Semitic word meaning “red,” and the land south of the Dead Sea was given that name because of the red sandstone so prominent in the topography. Esau, because of the soup for which he traded his birthright, became known as Edom, and later moved his family into the hill country of the same name. Genesis 36 recounts the early history of the Edomites, stating that they had kings reigning over them long before Israel had a king (Genesis 36:31). The religion of the Edomites was similar to that of other pagan societies who worshiped fertility gods. Esau’s descendants eventually dominated the southern lands and made their living by agriculture and trade. One of the ancient trade routes, the King’s Highway (Numbers 20:17) passed through Edom, and when the Israelites requested permission to use the route on their exodus from Egypt, they were rejected by force.
Because they were close relatives, the Israelites were forbidden to hate the Edomites (Deuteronomy 23:7). However, the Edomites regularly attacked Israel, and many wars were fought as a result. King Saul fought against the Edomites, and King David subjugated them, establishing military garrisons in Edom. With control over Edomite territory, Israel had access to the port of Ezion-Geber on the Red Sea, from which King Solomon sent out many expeditions. After the reign of Solomon, the Edomites revolted and had some freedom until they were subdued by the Assyrians under Tiglath-pileser.
During the Maccabean wars, the Edomites were subjugated by the Jews and forced to convert to Judaism. Through it all, the Edomites maintained much of their old hatred for the Jews. When Greek became the common language, the Edomites were called Idumaeans. With the rise of the Roman Empire, an Idumaean whose father had converted to Judaism was named king of Judea. That Idumaean is known in history as King Herod the Great, the tyrant who ordered a massacre in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill the Christ child (Matthew 2:16-18).
After Herod’s death, the Idumaean people slowly disappeared from history. God had foretold the destruction of the Edomites in Ezekiel 35, saying, “As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 35:15). Despite Edom’s constant efforts to rule over the Jews, God’s prophecy to Rebekah was fulfilled: the older child served the younger, and Israel proved stronger than Edom.
Avenging Africanus: Belisarius and the Roman Empire’s Return to Africa
Fifty years after the Western Roman Empire was toppled by the Goth warlord Odoacer, a new Caesar is crowned in Byzantium. This man, the Emperor Justinian, refuses to accept that Rome’s best days have passed. With the help of his extraordinary young General Belisarius, Justinian will attempt the impossible – to expel the barbarians from Rome’s Lost Lands and to restore the Empire to its former glory. Join them on their adventure in the LEGEND OF AFRICANUS trilogy. In AVENGING AFRICANUS, the sequel to FROM AFRICANUS, General Belisarius leads Valentinian and the Roman Army on a perilous journey across Mare Nostrum to Africa in order to punish the Vandals for the Sack of Rome a century before, their invasion of Rome’s African province, and their role in the collapse of the Western Empire. The journey is perilous – many prior expeditions against the Vandals had been tried and failed. The Vandal horde outnumbers the Romans twenty to one. If they fail there will be no rescue. If they prevail, the Emperor Justinian’s plan for restoring the Western Empire will be within reach.
❖ One of The Oldest Christian Aksumite Churches Discovered in Ethiopia
😈 Edomite Pagan Rome vs ✞The Oldest Christian Nation of Axumite Ethiopia
A stone pendant with a cross and the term “venerable” in Ethiopia’s ancient Ge’ez script
Some people believe that they know everything about Christianity and its spread, but they don’t know that one of the oldest Christian churches of the Aksumites was discovered in Ethiopia.
Ethiopian Christians claim that their church is one of the oldest. The Christian faith in this area, as they believe, was brought by the first companions of the faith in ancient apostolic times. A recent archaeological find in northern Ethiopia may surprise some Christians and people who have nothing to do with Christianity.
The area where archaeologists have unearthed the ruins of an ancient Christian church was once part of the mighty Aksumite Empire. During its heyday, this empire covered the territories of modern Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia and part of the Arabian Peninsula, the researchers note.
Historians managed to unearth the remains of an important site of the Aksumite Empire: a large commercial and religious centre. This ancient city was located north of the Sahara. Between the capital of the empire – Aksum, on the one hand, and the Red Sea, which the then inhabitants of this land called Yeha, on the other hand. The remains of a settlement unearthed during excavations may help reveal some of the mysteries surrounding the rise and fall of this oldest African empire.
Archaeologist Michael Harrower of Johns Hopkins University says that the Axum Empire was a very influential and powerful civilization in the ancient world. He also adds that it is a pity that the Western world is completely unaware of this. But, apart from Egypt and Sudan, which everyone knows about, the Aksumites are the earliest civilization with a complex structure on the African continent.
On the territory of Beta Samati, researchers found a whole group of commercial buildings, many residential buildings. The most important discovery was the discovery of one of the oldest Christian temples in Africa. Archaeologists attributed this structure to the 4th century AD. It is believed that it was built sometime after Christianity was adopted in Aksum. On the temple’s territory, archaeologists have found a well-preserved pendant, coins, figurines and vessels for transporting wine.
The most exciting find was a black stone pendant with an inscription in the shape of a cross. The descriptions on the pendant are made with the letters of the Ethiopian alphabet. This alphabet is still used in the region. Harrower also said the pendant was the size to hang around the neck and was likely worn by a local priest. The archaeological team also found a ring.

The ring is forged from copper. It was covered with gold leaf on top. The jeweller who made the ring adorned it with carnelian – a gemstone of red colour. The stone is engraved in the form of a bull’s head with a wreath or a vine above its head.
The researchers determined the construction of the discovered Christian temple as the same period when Christianity was first legalized by the Roman emperor Constantine. Rome was about 3000 miles from Axum.
The Axumite Empire connected Rome and Byzantium. It was an extensive network of trade routes. Despite all this, little is known about the Aksumites.
There is a version that the king of Ezana converted the empire to Christianity in the middle of the fourth century, and soon after, this church was built. The building is quite large, very similar in style to the ancient Roman basilicas.
Researchers found many artefacts of both secular and religious nature inside the structure, including crosses, animal figurines, seals and tokens, which were most likely used for trade. Overall, the items they found suggested a mix of Christian and pre-Christian beliefs, as would be expected at the beginning of the spread of the faith.
The Aksum Empire was mighty and influential until the 8-9 centuries when its decline began. Islam came to the region. Muslims seized control of trade in the Red Sea. And the once-mighty empire disappeared over time.
It is fascinating that despite the spread of Islam, the Christian faith remained solid and predominant in this region. Even when in the 16th century, the area was captured by Muslims from Somalia and the Ottoman Empire. Despite this, the inhabitants of the region have preserved the Christian faith. Even now, almost half of the country consider themselves members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
There are many other ancient Christian churches in Ethiopia. Many of them were built during the Middle Ages – not as venerable as archaeologists have discovered today. Their construction is very curious. They are built underground! The depth of the square pits where these temples were built reaches 50 meters. This is the height of two nine-story buildings!
These buildings have a roof and cross-shaped windows. Everything was built of stone. These churches are significantly younger than the ones found at Beta Sameti. There are several theories about who might have made these churches. Some say that the temples were built by the order of King Lalibela. He visited Jerusalem, was very upset that the temple in the holy land was destroyed, and the king decided to build his “new Jerusalem”. Other historians claim that the Templars built the temples. And there is a fantastic version that angels in one night erected the churches.
There is not much concrete evidence to support any of the theories, but one thing is clear: Ethiopia’s claim that it is the oldest “official” Christian country in the world has very concrete grounding.
🔥 Sun is Going Crazy with Solar Flares – Multiple Coronal Mass Ejections Coming Our Way
❖❖❖[Revelation Chapter 16:8-9]❖❖❖
“And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”
Yesterday, May 22nd, sunspot AR2824 unleashed a flurry of solar flares unlike anything we’ve seen in years. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded 9 C-class flares and 2 M-class flares in only 24 hours. The rapidfire explosions hurled multiple overlapping CMEs into space.
Multiple CME signatures, associated with the flare activity were observed in LASCO C2 and STEREO-A COR2 coronagraph imagery. They include three faint CMEs and a larger, partial-halo CME. Initial analysis and subsequent model output suggests potential Earth-impact early to mid 26 May. Wow!
