Source: New Zealand Herald

The world-famous Krakatoa volcano, Anak Krakatau, has erupted in Indonesia, with a fountain of lava and a huge plume of smoke and ash.

There are reports of a "large magmatic eruption" happening right now at the volcano island.

Satellite imagery shows ash several kilometres into the air and a plume as high as 15km.

The webcam on Anak Krakatau Island shows lava erupting from the volcano.

"This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on Java's west coast," reported volcanodiscovery.com.

1. Aren't there seven of them?

Which means there's one more..? I can't recall what it is.

[icymist]

3. Earthquakes.

I suppose we could include climate change.

[Dem2theMax]

12. San Diego County has been rattling for about a week.

And where I live, in North County, we just got seven and a half inches of rain in less than five days.

One of the earthquakes shook my house so hard, I actually ran out into the street. And as I ran out, I was muttering about the 'end times.'

[2naSalit]

13. Indeed, there have already had many to choose from...

We could pick one of those.

[Sunriser13]

15. Radioactive Chernobyl forest fires

Huge fire releasing craploads of radiation...

[2naSalit]

16. Right now?

[Sunriser13]

19. Yep, right now.

Forest Fires Around Chernobyl Have Pushed Radiation to 16 Times Normal Levels

Not decided where it should fit within the seven, though...

[2naSalit]

21. Yikes!

Okay, I think we have full array of disasters going on simultaneously. I guess we're good to go.

[Warpy]

18. Four horsemen

We seem to be missing Famine, for the most part. Those have been isolated to single areas.

Of course, the eastern African harvest was shit this year, locusts. They will need a lot of food aid a little later on.

However, Famine is late to the game. Guess he had to get his armor polished up or something. He'll turn up, he always does.

In Ezekiel, they were War, Plague, Wild Beasts, and Famine. Later Christians favored Death, Famine, War and Conquest (the last 2 seeming redundant). I suppose the president's Chumps would qualify as the wild beasts and satisfy Ezekiel. We can argue this forever because consistency isn't one of the bible's strong points, but Famine is usually present in all of them.

There were seven seals to be opened, the Horsemen being the first four. Koresh claimed to have discovered the other three, but settled for burning everybody who'd supported him to death instead of opening up the Apocalypse.

So when Famine finally turns up, we'll have another three unnamed calamities to go through.

26. Have you been to the grocery stores lately?

Famine's coming, just taking his time.

[Warpy]

38. I said he always turns up eventually

I haven't been to the grocery since late March. Locusts hadn't quite stripped it bare.

Some things were in short supply, like canned soups, and of course the paper craze was in full swing so those shelves were bare,

[Talitha]

37. "However, Famine is late to the game."

Does intellectual famine count?
We've been dying for the truth for quite a while.

[Ghost Dog]

40. Have you considered th Gai hypothesis?

Mother Nature's auto-immune system rejecting disharmony?

[a la izquierda]

41. Like 9 million a year die of hunger.

Famine isn’t going anywhere. It just doesn’t affect all sectors of society, so nobody cares about it like coronavirus.
(This isn’t a dig at you at all)

[Thomas Hurt]

2. The end timers are giddy and aroused thinking they going to heaven.

Going to sit at the right hand of God and watch all heathens suffer.

[icymist]

4. Just tell them the Rapture already happened.

And they're stuck here with us.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. I think God should rapture us heathens...

And make the real Christians stay here and fight Satan with Jesus

[icymist]

7. Here's a picture:

8. couldnt access the vid from the nz paper as it was itu restrictid

[Dennis Donovan]

34. WHOA!

The lightning is fascinating!

[machoneman]

9. 'Where is you Moses now?" Famous Edward G. Robinson quote....

from MGM's The Ten Commandments.

Hey, I just saw the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse wheel around the corner just now. Geesh, with Trump at the controls, any disaster is possible.

[happybird]

14. Made me think of this

From the (first) apocalypse arc on Supernatural, the arrival of the last Horseman:

I rewatched the first few seasons last week and had forgotten what a great character entrance this was.

[JoeOtterbein]

10. Thanks for posting and...

...(tears)

[Aussie105]

11. Two ways to look at this:

Let's see our check list:
Unending wars in the Mid East..............................check
Anti-Christ Trump still pResident............................check
Devastating locusts devouring African crops............check
World-wide pandemic...........................................check
Okay release Krakatoa!

1. God is trying to kill our young men, lead us down the rabbit hole with Trump so we go insane, eat our food so we starve, send a virus to kill as many as possible, and finally, release volcanoes from their slumber to choke us all to death.

OR

2. It's just business as usual.

Personally, I don't think it is option 1 above.

But just to be sure, keep an eye out on the water - if the oceans turn black, and your tap water turns red, then option 1 becomes an obvious choice.

[Aristus]

17. Jesus. We really are in the End Times, aren't we?

The rapture evangelical fuckbrains must be loving this...

[generalbetrayus]

20. I think this might be next.

[Orrex]

22. Maybe Trump could throw himself into it, to end the pandemic

Or just because it would be awesome if he did it.


Either way.

[montana_hazeleyes]

23. I love the way you think Orrex!

[DBoon]

24. We have a plague of locusts

25. Sheesh. Next Thing You Know You Will Say Trump Is The Anti-Christ

Who believes in such superstitions?

“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God“ (2 Thes 2:3-4)

[Historic NY]

27. Reminds me of a movie...

Holy Shit...........

[Danascot]

28. 12 million acres burned in Australia

With everything going on it didn't even make the list.

[vercetti2021]

29. I think the Mayans got it wrong

They overshot the calendar by 8 years

[ashredux]

30. Mother Earth has a "virus"....it is us

[Boomer]

33. Bingo

We'll burn out eventually, when we've consumed everything on the planet. Then life will start over again without primates mucking things up.

[modrepub]

31. Krakatou!

Neat pictures though

[Glorfindel]

32. A pretty good cartoon: "Mighty Mouse in Krakatoa"

[wcollar]

35. Gaia Hypothesis Anyone?

Time for a little clean up and reduction of problematic organisms?

[Paladin]

36. Trying to spook us, volcano? Fucking get in line. (nt)

[tclambert]

39. Pharaoh should consider letting those people go.
