Watch: Lava effusion, collapse-fed PDCs anew at Mayon Volcano

Mayon Volcano's active lava effusion and pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) exemplify the natural upheavals prophesied in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11—'earthquakes in various places' and environmental disturbances. While volcanic activity is geologically distinct from seismic events, both represent the physical convulsions of the earth preceding eschatological judgment, fitting the category of birth pangs before the end times.
