Watch: Lava fountaining on day 99 of Mayon Volcano’s effusive eruption

Volcanic eruptions can be classified under natural upheaval mentioned in the prophecy of famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. The Greek term σεισμός (seismos) encompasses geological disturbances, and volcanic activity represents the kind of natural disasters that serve as birth pangs before the end times.

The lava fountaining and fire from the volcano bears tangential resemblance to the first trumpet judgment of hail, fire, and blood falling from heaven. While this is a natural geological event rather than supernatural judgment, the imagery of fire and destruction connects to the prophetic pattern of fiery judgment.
