Guatemala’s three most active volcanoes have magnificently erupted simultaneously. The last time the phenomenon occurred was in 2018. That event took the lives of hundreds of locals when communities were hit by gas, ash, and rock.
Volcanoes are explicitly mentioned by the prophets as playing a role in the end of days, preparing the world by burning away impurities as a crucible is used in metallurgy to purify metal. This process is described in Zechariah.
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 answer them; I will say: ‘It is My people’ and they shall say: ‘Hashem is my God.’ Zechariah 13:9
This type of cataclysmic seismic activity is mentioned specifically by the prophets as an aspect of the End-of-Days process.
But Hashem God is the true God, He is the living God, and the everlasting King; at His wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide His indignation. Jeremiah 10:10
The main problem as I see it associating the people of Guatemala and their volcanoes with that judgment is that I’m guessing many, many Americans are far more wicked than they.
Rather, the passage I would associate with them is when people asked Jesus about those who Pilate had murdered and mixed their blood with their offerings. Christ response, which went of to include mention of a tower that had fallen, was to call the living to repentance.

Nope. No mention of volcanoes in the bible at all. But there is a part about “ “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. “
“Wherever I go, I hope there’s rum!”
So, it only happened last a few years ago, but now it’s somehow momentous?
As a young man, I climbed Pacaya and Agua volcanos in Guatemala and Chaparrastique in El Salvador. At that time Pacaya had two cones and you could climb to the top of the dormant cone and look over at the active cone which sounded like a jet engine at times. Active volcanos are best viewed at night when the hot lava creates its own light.
“The last time the phenomenon occurred was in 2018.”
I thought they were going to say 1818.
If it happened only 3 years ago, can you still call it a phenomenon?
There’s a lot of witchcraft/black-magic in Guatemala. I would not compare their country to ours when it comes to wickedness and I agree to go “there” was not appropriate.
My intent to post it was for the irony of such an occurrence.
Er, volcanos erupt every year. So I guess the prophecy is safe. But I won’t be donating any money.
LOL...
Ok ‘scholar’.
Naysayers and scoffers.
Ya’ll all end up on the wrong side of the coin always.
Come up with something better next time ;)
I climbed pacaya at night as well. Coolest thing ever when it would blow, though it was a little unnerving when rocks from the explosions would land 50 yards away.
My thoughts, too. It happened 3 years ago but now it’s supposedly momentous this time?
“The main problem as I see it associating the people of Guatemala and their volcanoes with that judgment is that I’m guessing many, many Americans are far more wicked than they.”
Wait until the Yellowstone Caldera blows; Guatemala’s 3 volcanoes will seem like a butterfly fart.
I’ll take my chances. I figure God gave us the mental/intellectual ability to exercise logic for a pretty good reason :-)
My TV set said Yellowstone is cooling and not going to blow.
That was after 2 hours of getting you to think it was going to blow.
Volcanoes are oddly enough at about a normal annual level of activity around the world, about 20 at the same time. But media reports about volcanoes make it appear that they are happening everywhere and all the time right now. YouTube is filled with videos of eruptions, for example.
Here is the Smithsonian Museum Global Volcanism Program website:

Truthfully, “End Times” levels of volcanism would be really hard to miss.
Do a YouTube search for “active volcanoes in (western State)”.
