On Monday 9 December 2019, at about 2:15pm, there was a volcanic eruption at a popular tourist site called White Island, just off New Zealand’s coastline.
But before the disaster, geologists had given several warnings about it. Yet, despite the warnings tourists continued to visit the island until the volcanic eruption that killed several people, leaving others hospitalized with severe burns. Many of those killed and injured were Australian tourists who had been traveling aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship. About 47 tourists had been climbing deep inside the crater of the volcano when the eruption occurred, blasting huge plumes of smoke and debris 12,000 kilometres into the sky.
After the tragedy, many people questioned why tourists would still be visiting the island after the warning of scientists. In fact since 2011 the volcano had been showing increased activity, causing scientists to refuse to step foot on the island. Instead they had conducted all their observation operations with drones and aircraft. In a video filmed in 2013, one scientist said: ‘How important is it to collect the data? Is it worth losing my life?’ And yet despite the scientists’ warnings, tourists ignored them and continued to arrive daily in boatloads to the island until the tragedy struck.
One may quickly blame these tourists for ignoring clear warnings, but spiritually that is also the state of many people in the world today. For many years now there has been Biblical prophesies and warnings about the end of the world, but people keep ignoring these warnings and keep walking right into the mouth of the volcano.
But if ever there was a time to heed Biblical warnings and get prepared, it is now! The truth is that the world has entered the fearful end-time years that are the grand climax of human civilization. The Bible gave several warnings about these end-times, alerting us to watch and pray.(Luke 21:36).
Prayer sharpens our spiritual sensitivity and keeps us vigilant and watchful.
“Watch,” is the translation of one of two Greek words (gregoreuo and agrupneo), which have similar meanings—to “stay awake” and to “be sleepless.”
Indeed we must urgently wake up from every spiritual slumber and watch! As end-time signs rapidly unfold around us, we can no longer afford to be spiritually numb or keep ignoring Biblical warnings.
We must therefore be on guard, fully awake, aware, alert and intently focused. Watching also means properly using our minds. We must put our minds to proper use through careful study of scriptures. The more our minds focus on God’s Word the more alert and sensitive we will become to the times and seasons. As we heed divine warnings we will always escape the enemy’s plots and live in dominion and victory.
PRAYER: Father please enable me to heed Biblical warnings of these end-times through becoming spiritually alert. Please grant me the grace to constantly watch and pray and follow the leadings of Your Spirit in Jesus Name.
