Semeru Volcano Volcanic Ash Advisory: VA ERUPTION LAST REPORTED AT 22/1248Z EST VA DTG: 22/1330Z

Semeru's volcanic eruption and ash dispersal exemplify the 'pestilences' and natural upheavals characteristic of end-times signs. While not a cataclysmic cosmic judgment, it represents the category of geological/environmental crises multiplying as 'birth pangs before the end' described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11.
