Semeru Volcano Volcanic Ash Advisory: VA OBS AT 04/0610Z MOV SE OBS VA DTG: 04/0610Z to 15000 ft (4600 m)

Semeru's volcanic ash column reaching 15,000 feet exemplifies the natural upheavals and environmental disturbances described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11. While a single volcanic event is not eschatologically decisive, it illustrates the category of 'earthquakes in various places' expanded to include volcanic activity as part of the birth pangs preceding the end times.
