don’t know much about scripture, but the plagues etcin Egypt are commonly ascribed to the Thera eruption which happened aroun those times.

“past great eruptions have resulted in so much ash in the air that essentially, sunlight struck the surface of the earth enough less that days were shorter, nights longer

Isn’t that true?”

Yep. Pintabora did that in 1991.

“If the ash also shielded to some degree from the destructiveness of some types of rays . . . from extreme solar flares or some such . . . that might refer to the last part of that Scripture . . .

‘else no flesh would be saved.’”

Don’t know about that, but highly doubtful - unless lots of metalic compounds with copper or iron were in the ash, but then that would only shield from the least harmful EM emmisions.

Gamma, X-Ray and other wave lengths would go through the ash, and throught the Earth

Ahhh.

Thanks for your kind & much more informed reply.

Love decreasing my ignorance.

Thanks.

I wasn’t sure at all about the radiation frequencies involved and the typical ash compositions either.

Much appreciate your kind and thoughtful reply.

Have a blessed weekend.
