A DANGER GREATER THAN TERRORISM

Terrorism remains a vital election year issue--as it well should be. But how many people are aware that greater disasters than even nuclear or biological terrorism are real possibilities from the realm of nature. Though almost 3,000 people were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, approximately 24,000 people died last July and August from a heat wave in Europe. And more than 45,000 people died in the earthquake in Iran last December. Even these numbers could be dwarfed by even more devastating natural disasters.

Giant tidal waves, super volcanoes and earthquakes could pose dangers worse than terrorism, scientists claim. Global Geophysical Events are not being taken seriously enough, they say. The world needs to develop strategies to cope in the face of a natural catastrophe.

There is a dangerous volcano in the Canary Islands which could send a tidal wave crashing against the United States. If Cumbre volcano erupts, it may send a rock slab the size of a small island crashing into the sea, creating a huge tidal wave. Walls of water 400 feet high would hit the United States at the speed of a jet. Within two hours, the wave would swamp the east coast of Africa, within four hours it would reach southern England and within 10 it would hit America's east coast. New York, Washington DC, Boston and Miami would be wiped out by the massive wave generated by the rock falling into the Atlantic. Sooner or later this rock will collapse into the water and the collapse will devastate the Atlantic areas.

Also, beneath Yellowstone National Park is a massive super volcano. Only a few exists in the world but when one erupts the explosion will be heard worldwide. The sky will darken, black acid rain will fall, and the Earth will be plunged into the equivalent of a nuclear winter. It could push humanity to the brink of extinction. The rumblings currently going on underneath Yellowstone should be a warning not just to those who plan to visit the National Park, but to the whole world. If the recent increased thermal activity is the precursor to an eruption event, we may well be on the brink of the biggest catastrophe the modern world has ever witnessed.

These are earth-shattering possibilities--unimaginable catastrophes of biblical proportions. And the Bible does indeed warn of such calamities as the end of this present era of civilization approaches--climaxing in global catastrophes comparable to those described above. And there will be on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth.

At the height of these destructive events, Jesus Christ will return with power to rule over all the earth, including what we call nature.

very similar scenario as the one that's theorized to have wiped out the dinosaurs.

Since when does Jesus Christ come and rule the earth when he comes the second time??? Last I checked, the earth is destroyed and the devil is left to ponder his situation for a thousand years, and then the earth and creation is made new and perfect, like at the beginning.
