Think about it

Last night I was watching the Discovery Channel movie "Super Volcano",
which, along the lines of "The Day After Tomorrow", is a big 'what if'
about the magma pool under Yellowstone National Park erupting so big that
it makes Mt. St. Helens look like a 4th of July firecracker. Then I'm at
work reading a thing about how the the 'it' thing to do is play off of
peoples' religious paranoia about the end times drawing near.

Then something clicked. I'm no Bible scholar, but weren't a few of
Revelation's events that day turns to night, air turns to poison, rivers
and the moon turn to blood? Well, that describes a catastrohpic volcanic
eruption exactly. Day turns to night under the ash cloud. The falling
ash turns the air to poison, making the very act of breathing deadly. The
sulphur dioxide belched out makes skies all over the world a brilliant
deep red, which would reflect off waters making rivers appear as if they
were flowing with blood.

Creepy, huh? :-)
