I am posting this article not because I think the Yellowstone Caldera or Mammoth Caldera are about to go off but just as food for thought. I do not for a minute subscribe to the theory that this caldera was formed 642,000 years ago. More likely it was formed in the days of Exodus only a few thousand years ago.

With that in mind there certainly is no reason to think that future eruptions could not take place in the short term. Shortly before or during the tribulation period these earth upheavals become extremely likely. Just one massive explosion could reduce the United States to a third world power and throw the whole world into huge tribulation.

I mention that because God does not have to judge the U.S. or the world in some predictable way like some people think. It could happen suddenly overnight. One day everything will be normal and the next it could be raining ash and fire and brimstone. The impact on the world climate could cause the famines predicted in Revelation. The management of the disaster could be what brings world government and rationing necessary for survival.

Before tribulation events these types of catastrophic events are unlikely to happen but they certainly are still possible. After a  comet or Wormwood or a pole reversal hits the earth exploding calderas suddenly become extremely likely. Indeed, if something like this volcanic actively were to happen today it would completely change the world in a instant.

A Spurt of Quake Activity Raises Fears in Yellowstone – TIME

We who live along Montana’s Yellowstone River are downstream from a simmering caldera, a geologic hot spot that has become especially active recently. Indeed, Yellowstone National Park contains the floor of a gigantic volcanic cauldron, one that rises and sinks with the forces that lie beneath — hence the picturesque geysers and steam holes. But a wave of recent earthquake activity is raising fears that have their origins 642,000 years ago, when a Yellowstone “supervolcano” exploded so violently that it created the caldera itself. Today, such an explosion — 1,000 times more powerful than the explosion of Mount St. Helens in 1980 — would not only cover most of the U.S. with ash but also throw so much dust into the atmosphere that the world’s climate could change.
Could the current activity be the warning signs of another such apocalypse?
