Discussion
This is a special blog post/podcast. The subtitle of this is “Yellowstone and the Book of Revelation.”
I will approach this study from a different angle. Previously, I have made mention of the Yellowstone super volcano multiple times. In this study I will go into details that will cause many to think and hopefully come to an understanding of what may soon occur.
Many don’t understand the magnitude of just how powerful an eruption of the Yellowstone Super Volcano would be, and the ramifications of the same. Yet we will see that God knew. He allowed John to witness this and to write it down in what would in time be called the “Book of Revelation.” The Holy Spirit led John to write it down in a way that would be in plain sight when the time came for all to know the Truth. In the 90s AD when John was on the island of Patmos, no one knew of even the possibility of a super volcano.
Frist, a few facts that need to be known. Volcanologists have established a scale to measure the power and output of volcanos when they erupt. It is called the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The largest in known history was the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha`apai eruption of 2022 at 5.7 of the 0-8 VEI scale. This caused an explosion that was comparable to a 60 to 68 megatons nuclear burst. The largest nuclear bomb ever detonated was the Russian Tsar Bomba according to “NuclearWeaponArchive.org, Sublette, Carey, ed. Ca. 30 Oct. 2018.—with an approximate yield between 50 to 58 megatons.
Beyond this point scientists can only speculate. The thing is, if scientist says that when a super volcano erupts it will be 1000 times more powerful and defined as a VEI 8 eruption. Now let’s wrap our minds around this for a moment. In comparison to the Tsar Bomba– that would make the explosivity of the Yellowstone caldera to be at least 50,000 megatons.
This would mean that everything within 600 miles of Yellowstone would simply no longer exist depending on which scientist you talk to. One scientist states it could be 13 feet of ash to another stating it could be by pyroclastic flows. No matter which theory is stated the result is the same for both. Nothing would be alive within this 600-mile radius of the Yellowstone Super Volcano. Let’s place some more familiarity within this radius. Portland bye-bye, Seatle, mostly gone if not completely. Calgary obliterated. Most of Colorado down to La Junta gone. Most of the Dakotas and Nebraska gone. Las Vagas and Reno gone. As well as all of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. All destroyed.
[According to the USGS ( U.S. Geological Service) Pyroclastic flows can travel between 187-450 mph depending on terrain at temperatures in excess of 10,000 Deg. Fahrenheit.] One scientist stated that pyroclastic flows could travel for thousands of miles. I lowered it to just 2000 miles. Now understand that a pyroclastic flow is a massive cloud of extremely hot gases. Due to the high heat within these flows it will cause everything to be engulfed within it to burst into fire. So, anything caught within this is dead as well. This pyroclastic flow would travel halfway to Hawaii`. Thus California is gone as well is the rest of the majority of the United States since it would end at about Washington D.C. itself and only leave the very northeastern states and the lower peninsula of Florida. However, they would soon be covered in ash. From several feet to inches. This would destroy crops, trees, as well as wildlife.
It would also devastate most of Canada to the Artic Circle and Ottawa. It would destroy northern Mexico down to Mexico City itself.
Biblically, while this may describe several events during the Great Tribulation period–one might ask oneself, “Why would one not have trust (Old Testament)/Faith (New Testament) in the LORD and come to a saving knowledge of His wisdom and grace before such a time?
For example, Revelation 18:8 NKJV – Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
Rev. 18, which primarily deals with the falling of the “City of Babylon,” it says in the KJV, “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.” Now, one might theologically argue where the “City of Babylon” is, whether Rome (Roman Catholicism) or the USA (A center of world trade and luxuries) because of Rev. 18:9 which says, “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.” However, we’ll save that discussion for another day. (I could keep going, but I won’t because you get the idea).
(Here one could point out God’s Omnipotence, His Almighty power to grab ahold of the earth and crack it like an egg, similar to what happened with The Great Flood.)
Revelation 6:12-17 NKJV – I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Now, let’s digress a bit and impose my opinion.
There is a “great earthquake” along with “every mountain and island being moved out of its place.” This could possibly match up with an eruption that is equal to one thousand Tsar Bombas. On a side note. The Tsar Bomba detonation was the first nuclear explosion to have a mushroom cloud pass through the stratosphere which begins at 12 miles and end at 31 miles when entering what is called the “mesosphere.” It must also be noted that the Tonga eruption was the first known to humanity to have accomplished the same.
However, let’s temporarily focus on earthquakes. While an eruption has not to date shown evidence that it can move tectonic plates. Especially when it is located in the middle of a tectonic plate like for instance Hawaii` and as a matter-of-fact Yellowstone. Both of which are what is called “hotspots.” An earthquake cannot actually shift the plates of the planet. That being said, An eruption with the Volcanic Explosivity of 50,000 megatons could be the first in known human history to cause this to change. Therefore, it could make sense and can be seen as a valid assumption that it might do so. For it would be something that could be felt globally and can logically affect all landmasses.
Now as to the sun, the moon and the stars. In 536 AD and 1816 AD. Two volcanic winters occurred. Both diminished the sun and the moon but not to the extent listed here in the Word of God. The one in 536 was worse than the one in 1816 and helped in that time period as to being called the Dark ages due to lack of light and the cooling of the earth (FYI, the Dark Ages ran from 500-1500 AD).
As to the stars, as mentioned before the eruption has a very strong possibility of reaching into the Mesosphere. What is significant about this is that the mesosphere is it is the layer where meteorites heat up and either burn up or become what one might call a shooting star. Taking the amount of debris that will be spewed into the upper atmosphere in addition to causing a cloud to spread across the sky like it was a scroll rolling up would also allow this debris to reenter the lower atmosphere like the stars falling from heaven to the earth.
Let us continue:
Revelation 8:1-5 NKJV – When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
“And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.” Here we see the continued effects of the eruption and a following earthquake which again can be felt globally, but note it is not as drastic as the first eruption.
Revelation 8:7 NKJV – The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
The debris from the eruption is huge in scale to all other eruptions. We will give more exacting details on this later. However, we are talking about the high atmospheric debris caused by a Yellowstone Super Volcano eruption. The mesosphere is 31 miles to 53 miles high. As the debris cloud rolls across the sky like it was rolling the sky like a scroll. It carried within it the debris that would cause it to rain down as hail and fire mingled with blood.
If people have made note of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There is documentation of what was called “black rain.” Even though not made of the same combination as that of the bombs in Japan, it would cause the same results to some degree and may result in what the Bible describes.
Revelation 8:8-9 NKJV – Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The largest lava bomb recorded was 20 ft in diameter from one of the Mount Asama eruptions. Now image that 1000 times bigger. Up to 20,000 feet in diameter. A mountain comes to be called a mountain at 2000 feet. So, image a lava bomb 2000 feet in diameter. This is something that can occur with the power of a super volcanic eruption. Therefore, this again points to the possibility that the book of Revelation is referring to the eruption of a super volcano.
Revelation 8:10-11 NKJV – Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Here I will not even speculate. So, we will move on to the next verses:
Revelation 8:12-13 NKJV – Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”
Here is the second or possibly third eruption of Yellowstone. Beyond this point except for a mention of the destruction of the city of Babylon in chapter 14 and the full description in chapter 18 as to why the United States aka the City of Babylon is destroyed has nothing to do with the US since it no longer exists. Therefore, pursuing a comparison to the Yellowstone Super Volcano and the book of Revelation beyond this point is not necessary.
However, many of the things shown in later verses describe a volcanic winter. So, let us look at details to see if one can transpire. There are many scientific and technical words and phrases that transpire in the full description of how the atmosphere is affected. We know from the earlier mentioned volcanic winters of 536 and 1816 that temperatures drop as well as the sun and the moon dimming. This lack of light and cool temperatures causes growing seasons for crops to be shortened. This will result in famine and even plagues.
Additionally, the rivers, seas and oceans can be affected with acid rain. Especially if a huge lava bomb crashes into a sea or ocean, which addresses the earlier mentioned death of fish and other sea animals.
There will be death of plants and animals as well as sickness that are caused by the volcanic ash which is extremely fine or you may say microscopic glass. There is evidence of the mass extinction of herds of animals due to volcanic ash alone (Ashfall Fossil Bed).
What can be made clear is that in 90 AD John describes the eruption of a super volcano. Something that never was even heard of in this time frame. Yes, there were volcanoes, even Vesuvius happened in 79 AD. However, the degree of destruction shown was in no way compared to that of Vesuvius and Pompeii. In fact it was much worse and something the average person, even for late in the first century, could even conceive of.
This in essence proves the reality of God and that John witnessed what is written down in the Book of Revelation. Therefore, odds are strongly in favor of Yellowstone destroying the United States of America in fire just as is described in Revelation 6 and 18.
God Bless.
