Most of the people throughout the world will not believe the reality of the End of the World; understood as the Great Tribulation Period, which is actually the End of the Age of Grace and the Beginning of the Millennial Age, until an earthquake causes the ground to move beneath their feet and the sky rolls black with volcanic ash and their entire Earth Life is being destroyed right before their eyes…
The goal of these pages dealing with Geological Events, Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tsunamis is to help you understand the reality of these events, as they will eventually become a chaotic worldwide event…
The Sea and the Waves Roaring
The Great Tribulation Period begins with Earthquakes, continues with Volcanic Eruptions on the landmass, then with Volcanic Eruptions on the Ocean Floor throughout the world.
As the Volcanic Eruptions begin to heat up the water in the oceans, along with the changes of the ocean currents from the changing of the tilt of the earth, there will be massive Hurricanes occurring towards the very end of the Great Tribulation Period.
The greatest degree of these Massive Hurricanes will most likely be produced during the Wrath of God with last about 45 days; after the Rapture of the Christian Believers and before the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The “Sea and Waves Roaring” could also be referring to Tsunamis.
But do not rule out Hurricanes…
And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear and looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:25-28.
What about the “the sea and the waves roaring;”? Can we find any insight as to what the Lord was talking about?
Luke 21:25-26.www.biblos.com
An expanded translation using more Greek Lexicons definitions:
And there shall be signs, tokens and wonders in the light of the sun; and in the moon; and in the constellation of the stars; and upon the whole earth anguish, anxiety and distress of nations, with a state of perplexity and mental loss; standing in doubtful confusion as what to do, being in a bewilderment, having no way out; because of the loud roaring of the sea and the waves being in a roaring vibration; men’s hearts failing them for fear and having an apprehension, an expectation and an arrival; looking after those things which are coming on the land of the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be moved and shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and abundant, great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then raise, look up and lift up your heads; for on this account, your deliverance and full redemption approaches and is drawing near. Luke 21:25-28.
King James Version: Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

Sea and Waves Roaring
Hurricanes form over tropical oceans, where warm water and air interact to create these storms.

In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, we use the term “hurricane” to describe severe storms with high-velocity winds that rotate around a central, low-pressure core. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
In order for a hurricane to form, two things must be present: a weather disturbance, such as a thunderstorm, that pulls in warm surface air from all directions and water at the ocean’s surface that is at least 80° Fahrenheit (27° Celsius). Because it is the interaction of warm air and warm seawater that spawns these storms, they form over tropical oceans between about 5 and 20 degrees of latitude. At these latitudes, seawater is hot enough to give the storms strength and the rotation of the Earth makes them spin.
Hurricanes start simply with the evaporation of warm seawater, which pumps water into the lower atmosphere. This humid air is then dragged aloft when converging winds collide and turn upwards. At higher altitudes, water vapor starts to condense into clouds and rain, releasing heat that warms the surrounding air, causing it to rise as well. As the air far above the sea rushes upward, even more warm moist air spirals in from along the surface to replace it.
As long as the base of this weather system remains over warm water and its top is not sheared apart by high-altitude winds, it will strengthen and grow. More and more heat and water will be pumped into the air. The pressure at its core will drop further and further, sucking in wind at ever increasing speeds. Over several hours to days, the storm will intensify, finally reaching hurricane status when the winds that swirl around it reach sustained speeds of 74 miles per hour or more.
Eventually, hurricanes turn away from the tropics and into mid-latitudes. Once they move over cold water or over land and lose touch with the hot water that powers them, these storms weaken and break apart.
Recent studies have shown a link between ocean surface temperatures and tropical storm intensity – warmer waters fuel more energetic storms.
Warm Ocean Water and Hurricanes

Click here for high resolution image.NASA satellites are critical in helping forecasters determine if all of the ingredients are coming together to make a hurricane, and if so, how strong the hurricane may be, and who in coastal communities and at sea will be at risk. NASA satellites improve hurricane forecasts using space-based observations, data assimilation, and computer climate modeling. NASA-sponsored measurements and modeling of global sea surface temperature, precipitation, winds and sea surface height have also improved our understanding of El Nino and La Nina events, which tend to enhance and suppress Atlantic and Gulf hurricane development, respectively.Thirty years ago, meteorologists were unable to see the factors in hurricane formation and could only spot a hurricane with still pictures from the TIROS-N satellite. Over the past 10 years, visible and infrared satellite sensors were still the workhorses for monitoring hurricanes. Now, multiple NASA satellites exploit everything from radar pulses to microwaves to enhance forecasts, providing data to researchers several times a day.Take Warm Water, Stir Sea surface temperatures must be 82 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or warmer for tropical cyclone formation and sustenance. The Aqua satellite’s Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager can detect sea surface temperatures (SST) through clouds, which is valuable information in determining the direction a tropical cyclone is moving and whether it may strengthen or weaken. Traditional satellite measurements of SST use infrared instruments and are limited to cloud-free regions. The Jason-1 satellite altimeter provides data on sea surface height, a key measurement of ocean energy available to encourage and sustain hurricanes.
Images to left: Orange and red indicate the necessary 82-degree and warmer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) needed. The data for this image was collected by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS (AMSR/E) aboard the Aqua satellite from May 2002. Click images to see animationNext, add a disturbance, seen in right image, generally easterly waves off of Africa, formed from winds resulting from the clash between the hot Sahara Desert and the cooler Gulf of Guinea. These waves provide the initial energy and spin required for a hurricane to develop, as imaged by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES, operated by NOAA) on Sept. 1-15, 2001.Mix Thoroughly, BakeAnother necessary ingredient is rotating winds over the ocean’s surface. These winds are a precursor to tropical cyclone development and the SeaWinds instruments aboard Japan’s Midori 2 and NASA’s QuikSCAT satellites can detect these winds before other instruments, providing even earlier notice of developing storms to forecasters and scientists.

Credit: NASAWith the right mix of winds and SSTs, an ordinary cluster of tropical thunderstorms can explode into a tropical storm. Winds converge, forming the familiar circular pattern of clouds. Warm, rising air in the storms draws water vapor up from the ocean. The vapor condenses in clouds and releases heat, warming the eye, evaporating more surface water and feeding the hurricane’s heat engine, continuing the cycle.Hurricane Heat EngineAir temperature and humidity are also important factors. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) experiment suite aboard the Aqua satellite obtains measurements of global temperature and humidity throughout the atmosphere. Improved representation of atmospheric temperature and humidity may lead to improved weather forecasts and improved determination of cyclone intensity, location and tracks and the severe weather associated with storms, such as damaging winds.

Credit: NASA/NASDAHurricanes essentially act as engines, drawing energy up from warm tropical ocean waters to power the intense winds, powerful thunderstorms, and immense ocean surges. Water vapor from the warm ocean surface evaporates, forming towering convective clouds that surround the eyewall and rainband regions of the storm. As the water vapor cools and condenses from a gas back to a liquid state it releases latent heat. The released heat warms the surrounding air, making it lighter and promoting more clouds. Because the hurricane-speed winds surrounding the clear eye are often absent from the center of a hurricane, the heaviest rain clouds are pushed out to form a ring around the center, leaving a relatively fair-weather eye.Model HurricaneRainfall intensity is the final ingredient, and the TRMM Precipitation Radar provides “cat-scan”-like views of rainfall in the massive thunderstorms of hurricanes. TRMM instruments probe young tropical systems for rainfall intensity. These initial disturbances of thunderstorms could hint at tropical storm development based on rainfall intensity. TRMM also sees “hot towers” or vertical columns of rapidly rising air that indicate very strong thunderstorms. These towers are like powerful pistons that convert energy from water vapor into a powerful wind and rain producing engine.
By synthesizing data from multiple instruments and satellites, scientists get a full picture of the many ingredients of a hurricane. Click image to see animation of hurricane model. Credit: NASDA/NASAOnce a storm develops, TRMM provides an inside view of how organized and tightly spiraled rainbands are, key indicators of storm intensity.
TRMM covers the global tropics and doesn’t rely on a tropical disturbance being close to land to determine its intensity from hurricane hunter flights through it. TRMM provides tropical cyclone intensity information from the safe distance of space. For this reason the Hurricane Center and the Department of Defense’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center often rely on TRMM, QuikSCAT and other NASA satellites for early assessment of young storms in the open ocean.
The hurricane monitoring capabilities enabled by these satellites are funded by NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise (ESE), whose mission is to protect and understand our home planet by enabling improved prediction capability for climate, weather, and natural hazards
FUTURE OF FORECASTING
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite, furnishes three-dimensional views of temperature, humidity and clouds in the atmosphere. AIRS observes the temperatures of cloud tops via infrared energy, and, with the help of a pair of companion microwave-energy sensors, maps temperature and humidity inside and below clouds. This shows scientists a storm’s inner structure, including its most intense regions. A high-resolution visible wavelength sensor adds information about the clouds’ fine structure. With AIRS, these observations come simultaneously from a single satellite, while previously scientists coordinated observations taken hours apart from several satellites
The Effect of Sea Surface Temperature on Hurricanes
This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW highlights research that supports the idea that warmer oceans generate and sustain more intense hurricanes. Ongoing monitoring of sea surface temperature (SST) has supplied evidence that the world’s oceans warmed 0.5°C between 1970 and 2005. Because hurricanes rely on warm water to release heat into the upper atmosphere and create spiraling winds, any additional energy can result in increased intensity. The video examines factors scientists use to predict hurricane behavior, and states that the complex nature of hurricane formation makes predicting with a high degree of accuracy very difficult.

One of the most destructive events during the Great Tribulation Period will be the Volcanic Burning of the Vatican City in Rome, Italy….
The Volcanic Burning of the Vatican City
Revelation 18: [8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire:for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. [9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, [10] Standing afar off for the fear of hertorment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come. [15] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, [17] For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, [18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! [19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate.
The Greek word definitions:
Revelation 18:8 – utterly burned with fire – to burn up, blasted and consume by fire.
Revelation 18:9 & 19 – the smoke of her burning – the burning by which metals are roasted and reduced; by a figure drawn from a refiners fire; calamities or trials that test the character.
Revelation 18:10 & 15 – torment – to torture, a testing by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal.
Revelation 18:17 & 19 – come to naught & made desolate – to make desolate, lay waste, to ruin, bring to desolation, to despoil one, strip her of her treasures.

The “Great Tribulation Period” will begin when several “Arab nations and various Arab terrorist groups” unite to conduct a Jihad attack upon the Nation of Israel and according to the Bible, this will result in the death of 2/3rds of the Jewish population in Israel:
(Zechariah 13: [8] And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.)
Afterwards forming an “Islamic Caliphate” that will last for 3 ½ years, consisting of “10 Arab countries” in the Middle East. Today is February 15, 2016, so I’ve told you far in advance and this event will happen in the next several years, after the current crisis in the Middle East calms down, then the Islamic Forces will regroup and conduct this invasion and proceed to conquer Egypt and then establish the “Ten Arab/Islamic/Caliphate/Empire.”
There is ample information concerning this topic on this Website, you just have to take the time to read it. The same goes for the information regarding the Great Tribulation Period and the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ that is on this site, you just have to read it. The majority of humanity does not have any idea concerning these Biblical subjects and will be caught by surprise when these events draw near. There is no excuse for you to be ignorant, when the information is right here in front of you.
There are also hundreds of Audio Bible Sermons that explain all of these subjects in great detail on my other Website, which is: www.BibleSermonsMP3.com .
I encourage you to take the time to listen to them, while the Internet is still available. Once the Great Tribulation Period starts, the transmission lines will certainly fail and this information will not be available to you. Make good use of this knowledge while you still have time…
The Biblical “Antichrist” will be the “Caliph of this 10 Arab Empire”. This will be an “Islamic Empire” as foretold in the Book of Daniel and in the Book of Revelation.
Daniel 2: [31] Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. [32] This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, [33] His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. [34] Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces.
Daniel 2: [41] And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. [45] Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Revelation 13: [1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. [2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. [3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Revelation 17: [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. [11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
The following are the Trumpets and Vials of the Book of Revelation, which describe the general theme of this end time event known as the: “Great Tribulation Period.” There will be a Great Earthquake in the Jordan River Valley, which will bring about the calling of a truce regarding the Islamic Jihad Attack upon the Nation of Israel. This geological event will set in motion the earth changing events pertaining to the Seven Trumpets and the “Rapture” of any surviving Christian Believers at the 7th Trumpet and ending with the Seven Vials of Wrath.
The “Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ” will occur after all of these event have been fulfilled, then He will begin His Millennial Reign, ruling from the Temple that will be constructed on the Jerusalem Temple Mount.
Revelation 8:8-9 – 2nd trumpet – volcanic activity begins in the oceans killing one third of sea life and producing worldwide tsunami waves, which destroy a third of the ships in port.
Revelation 8:10-11 – 3rd trumpet –a great comet strikes the earth, melts and is absorbed into the hydrological cycle, producing hydrocyanic acid, poisoning one third of the earth’s water supply, proceeded by a meteor storm as the comet begins its atmospheric entrance.
Revelation 8:12 – 4th trumpet – a dramatic increase in worldwide volcanic activity, creates a dust haze over a third of the earth.
Revelation 9:1-12 – 5th trumpet – a massive chain of worldwide volcanic eruptions and releasing of demonic beings from the earth’s interior, which torment the spiritually lost of humanity, that is: non-Christian (True) Believers for five months. There are great masses of people who outwardly claim to be Christian Believers, but the demonic spirits know the difference and these fakers will be tormented in the same group as the spiritually lost, because they actually are spiritually lost. They will likewise end up in Hades, as with all spiritually lost souls and eventually be cast into the Lake of Fire, with the demons and the Devil, for the duration of eternal existence.
Revelation 9:13-21 – 6th trumpet – release of four demonic kings, which lead approximately 200 million demons to kill a third of the human population with fire, smoke and an intense sulfurous suffocating odor.
The Wrath Of God
The Apostle John explains the wrath of God in a picture of catastrophic terror and horrors coming upon the earth because of the wickedness of humanity and in order to make necessary changes in the geological structure in the land of Israel. This period of the wrath of God lasts only for about 45 days.These events occur after the Rapture of the Saved from the earth. They are a continuation and an increase of intensity of the seven trumpets which have just been completed. The entire text is found in Revelation 16:1-21.
Revelation 16:2 – 1st plague – a shift in the magnetic field of the earth, from the earthquakes, leaving the earth temporarily without its protective shield, resulting in cosmic radiation mutilating the human flesh of those who worship the beast or antichrist. The Biblical antichrist is the leader of the Islamic Caliphate of the Ten Arab Empire that will be formed in the Middle East.
Revelation 16:3 – 2nd plague – the heating of the oceans by undersea lava causing the reproduction of various dinoflagellates at a fantastic rate, producing oxidation and red tide, respectively. This event will bring about a massive destruction of aquatic life throughout the world oceans.
Revelation 16:4-7 – 3rd plague –a poisoning of the earth’s freshwater supply by a comets release of methyl cyanide, hydrogen cyanide and a whole range of cyanogenic poisonous gases into the hydrological cycle. This comet will most likely enter the atmosphere over the “Old World” landmass.
Revelation 16:8-9 – 4th plague – destruction of the ozone layer by volcanic activity, allowing penetration of ultraviolet radiation causing a burning skin cancer.
Revelation 16:10-11 – 5th plague – a massive pyroclastic holocaust from volcanic lava upon wicked humanity.
Revelation 16:12-16 – 6th plague –the releasing of three evil spirits, causing people to worship the antichrist and to gather for the battle of Armageddon, including the diversion of the Euphrates River towards the Jordan River valley.
The “Creator GOD”
Used the Earth to Destroy Humanity in the Past and will do it Again in the Near Future
The Great Flood: Genesis 6: [5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. [11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. [13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. [17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die.
Genesis 7: [4] For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. [23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Sodom and Gomorrah: Genesis 13: [13] But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 18: [17] And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; [20] And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis 19: [1] And there came two angels to Sodom at even; [13] For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. [24] Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; [27] And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: [28] And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
There are several basic purposes for the “Great Tribulation Period” ending with the “Wrath of God”. It is to make changes in the tilt of the earth and to the Land Structure of Israel to ensure that it will be the Breadbasket of the world during the Millennial Reign; to destroy the Arab nations in the Middle East and to destroy the “immoral people” of the world, who have grossly influenced the general population and have caused them to turn away from God, thereby causing them to become ever more immersed into the very lowest state of immoral attitude and actions.
Revelation 11:18. The Greek Text:
καὶ διαφθεῖραι τοὺς διαφθείροντας τὴν γῆν
In Revelation 11:18, the Greek word for the second English word “destroy” has to do with morality. With an in-depth study from the New Testament Greek language, this phrase can be translated as: {and destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, to kill them, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused the inhabitants to become thoroughly rotten, by changing their minds and morals for the worse.}
Revelation 16: [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. [18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
The next destruction of humanity will be by:
Earthquakes and Volcanic Fire!!!

From my website and my work.
A composite of the Hebrew words for Joel 2:30: And I will show a token, a sign and wonder in the visible arch of the sky where the clouds move and throughout all the earth, in the fields, in the country, in the wilderness and it will have the appearance of blood, along with a burning, hot flaming fire, with columns of cloudy dust, smoke and vapor.
A composite of the Hebrew words for Joel 2:31: The brilliant sun, from the rising of the sun in the east to the sun rays in the arch ways of the sky, will be changed into darkness, as if it were night and the moon will take on the appearance of blood before the great and noble, fearful and terrible day in which Jehovah, the self-Existing One, the Eternal Lord shall come.
A composite of the Greek words for Acts 2:19: And I will bring forth a rare event so extraordinary, it will inspire wonder, for it will be in the elevated area of the sky and a token of these events, will be throughout the entire regions under the surface of the soil, of all the land of the world, for it will be a visible wonder of flowing substance like blood, of flashes of lightening and fire, with a mist of smoke.
A composite of the Greek words for Acts 2:20: The rising of the sun in the east and the rays of daily light will become as an outlining shadow and the bright shining moon, will appear to be a blood red color, before that mighty and visible day in which the One in supreme authority will come.
