Why Do the Seas Roar, the Earth Quakes,
the Mountains Smoke, and the Heavens Shake?
by Craig Wm. Peters
And there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, in bewilderment at the roaring of the sea
and the waves; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke 21:25-26
This article was written immediately after the
2004 quake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
Since then, we have seen earthquake-generated
tsunamis take the lives of people in Samoa,
Chile, and the island of Robinson Crusoe (about
400 miles west of the Chilean coast). These
cataclysms are only the beginning as hwhy sets
Himself to judge all the unrepentant nations of
the earth and usher in the Kingdom of Elohim.
t s r q u p e o n m l k y j x z w h d g b a
The following commentary is an editorial
written in regard to the coming Judgment from
the Throne of hwhy on High. Deeply tragic as it
all was (and still is), the Asian tsunami of late
2004 was only a foretaste of many other
catastrophic upheavals yet to come. These
cataclysmic events will be of nearly
incomprehensible proportions, and it is
important for all to know why they must occur.
Because we were so deeply impressed by the
Spirit to convey the overwhelming truth behind
why these things are occurring (and will occur),
we entitled this article, set in place its outline—
including numerous, relevant Scriptures—and
still stunned over the scope of the tragedy,
began writing the present manuscript a few
weeks after the December 2004 disaster.
The more people who know why these events
are taking place, the more people who will turn
in faith to the Creator of heaven and earth in
these final, critical days. Of course, we expect
many to be hardened beyond repentance and to
continue in open rebellion against hwhy and His
Torah. However, many souls will also be
humbled to repent under the mighty, sovereign
hand of the Most High, and in the face of such
apocalyptic judgments, they will bow with new-
found reverence before His great and awesome
Presence.1

Isaiah 26:9
1
We have long warned an unrepentant
America (and the world) of coming events
which will be absolutely apocalyptic in scope.
For some 17 years prior to the Asian tsunami,
we have continually warned the world to either
repent of lawlessness or to face the unthinkable
as judgments thunder forth from the Presence of
hwhy in Heaven: Massive earthquakes which
will destroy the pride of man2 … tidal waves
which will defy description3 … volcanoes which
will fill the sky with “pillars of smoke,”
darkening the Sun and moon4 … and fiery
judgments from heaven which fall in Divine,
burning wrath upon the immoral Sodomites and
worshippers of demons.5 Scriptures warn us the
eventual outcome of this Great Judgment is not
a pleasant one: the inhabitants of the earth will
be burned and few survivors will remain.6
While He is filled with infinite love, hwhy does
not take lightly the violation of His Torah. It is
this latter sentiment which He will now manifest
before all the nations of the earth. The recent
earthquake and tidal waves in the Indonesian
Sea are only the beginning of greater tragedies
yet to come. As horrific as that tsunami was, it
will pale in comparison with those events which
are still forthcoming. The Asian tsunami was
only a wake-up call: the fast-approaching
judgments shall be far worse as the Spirit of the
Almighty pleads with all flesh to repent of
lawlessness.7 These judgments will be so
destructive and so overwhelming, we are told
even the mighty man will weep bitterly in that
Day:

hastens greatly, even the noise of the Day of
hwhy: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Zephaniah 1:14
Before we continue, let it be said we do not
take lightly the widespread death and
destruction which occurred from the December
26, 2004 earthquake and the resulting tsunamis
throughout the numerous islands and countries
of Asia. The death of even one individual is an
extremely great loss as no value can be placed
on the potential and worth of just one human
being. Only the Creator can bring eventual
restitution to those whose lives were lost, and
we fully expect He will do that very thing in the
eons yet to come.8 The Most High Creator
works all things after the counsel of His
sovereign will9 and we assert none of those who
died in this disaster have either lived or died in
vain. Justice for man comes from hwhy,10 and
He will surely use this great catastrophe to
further His Kingdom in the lives of those people
in the resurrection. Only the One who kills and
who makes alive11 could ever bring true and full
restitution over such great loss, and He will
vindicate His great Name in and over every life
of every person who has ever lived. We have
the assurance that …
…“as in Adam all men die, even so in
the Messiah shall all be made alive.”
1Corinthians 15:22
In the ages to come, eswhy will surely fulfill
His great promise to draw all men to Himself.12
However, this amazing promise does not gloss
over the present need for hwhy to bring severe
judgment against a carnal world which is so
rapidly degenerating through open depravity
and staunch rebellion against the Law of His
Kingdom. It is this Heavenly Judgment which
comprises “the Day of hwhy,” and it is this
approaching wrath which we must necessarily

address in the present commentary. In doing so,
we provide a most somber warning for all those
who are still willing to listen and to respond.
The Seas Roar
Do our readers realize the Scriptures actually
indicate there will be tidal waves so massive in
force that their impact will cause mountains to
be shaken into the heart of the seas? This is
spoken of in the 46th Psalm:
Elohim is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not
fear, though the earth is removed, and though
the mountains are carried into the midst of the
sea. 3 Though the waters thereof roar and are
troubled, though the mountains shake with the
swelling thereof. Selah. Psalm 46:1-3
The waters of the sea will roar with such force
they will cause the mountains to shake. If
anyone thinks this statement is overly
incredible, tidal surges from hurricanes have
caused small earthquakes which previously
rocked the U.S. continent. How much more
would tidal waves rock the mountains and
tectonic plates if they are hundreds, if not
thousands of times more powerful and massive
than tidal surges from a major hurricane? A
similar statement regarding the removal of the
mountains is made by hwhy through the prophet
Isaiah:
For though the mountains be removed and
the hills be shaken; My kindness is not removed
from you, nor is My covenant of peace shaken,”
says hwhy, who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10
In the time of the end, it may well be that one of
the plagues which is brought upon the world by
the prophets of hwhy is a judgment which will
involve massive tidal waves powerful enough to
destroy mountains. When referring to the
Scripture in Psalm 46, our Messiah said this to
His followers:
Truly, I say to you, if you have belief and
do not doubt, you shall not only do what was
done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this
mountain, “Be removed, and be thrown
into the sea,” it shall be done.
Matthew 21:21, ISRV
As the seas roar, the mountains will disappear
into the ocean, and the islands will be
swallowed up into oblivion:
And every island fled away,
and the mountains were not found.
Revelation 16:20
The 98th Psalm indicates just why the seas will
be roaring:
Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; the
world, and those who dwell therein. Let the
rivers clap their hands: let the hills be joyful
together before hwhy; for He is coming to judge
the earth: with righteousness He will judge
the world, and the peoples with equity.
Psalm 98:7-9
The seas roar, we are told, at the Presence of
hwhy. The seas will roar before hwhy; the ocean
waters will churn before His awesome Presence
as He prepares to come forth to judge the world
in righteousness and to rule the nations with
equity. When hwhy sets His Throne in our
midst13 and fully takes over the kingdoms of this
world,14 only then will the dream be completely
fulfilled that “judgment run down as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty stream.”15 The
earth will be filled with righteousness, peace,
and joy as never before.16 The seas will roar
before the face of Him who sits on the Throne,
for even the creation knows eswhy the Messiah
will bring the most beneficial changes ever seen
in the earth, guiding the peoples with
uprightness and ruling over the nations of the
earth with great wisdom and justice!17

Hosea 4:1-3, Zephaniah 1:2-3 A number of the preceding
Scriptures help to better explain how the earth is
destroyed at the hands of sinners: it is destroyed when
lawless deeds bring heavenly curses upon the land.
Malachi 4:6 hwhy will destroy those who destroy the
earth: He will destroy the lawless. Revelation 11:18,
1John 3:4, Psalm 1:6 Yet not only does the creation know
and groan, the creation also knows and rejoices! Psalm
96:10-13, 98:7-9 The way of hwhy is a stronghold to the
upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity. Thus, when
the seas roar before the Presence of hwhy as He begins to

The Earth Quakes
Mark every high tower: Whether it was
erected as a monument to the pride of past,
pagan idolatry, or whether it is symptomatic of
the arrogance which accompanies modern-day,
money-making covetousness, it will come
crashing down. This is not a terrorist threat to
be carried out by any man! This is a solemn
warning spoken in the eternal Scriptures the
Sovereign Creator. Hear the warning which
hwhy spoke many centuries ago through the
prophet Isaiah:
10 Enter into the rock, and hide yourself in the
dust, for fear of hwhy, and for the splendor of
His majesty.18 11 The lofty looks of man shall be
humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be
bowed down, and hwhy alone will be exalted in
that day. 12 For the Day of hwhy of hosts shall
be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and
upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be
brought low: 13 and upon all the cedars of
Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon
all the oaks of Bashan, 14 and upon all the high
mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted
up, 15 and upon every high tower, and upon
every fenced wall, 16 and upon all the ships of
Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 17
And the loftiness of man will be bowed down,
and the haughtiness of men shall be made low:
and hwhy alone will be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols He shall utterly abolish.19
19 And they will go into the holes of the rocks,
and into the caves of the earth, for fear of hwhy,
and for the splendor of His majesty, when He
arises to shake mightily the earth. 20 In that
day, a man will cast his idols of silver, and his
idols of gold, which they made each one for
himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the
tops of the ragged rocks,20 for fear of hwhy, and
come forth to judge the earth, ruin will befall those who
have hated His ways and opposed His Torah.
18
i.e., His Presence!
19
The judgment of hwhy intends to abolish all false
worship and to cause men to look in faith to their Creator.
Isaiah 26:9 In the hearts of those who repent and who
return to lives filled with expressions of belief in hwhy,
His Great Judgment will affect this very thing. Psalm
22:27, Joel 2:30-32
20
We especially note the premium which those fleeing
will place on locations considerably higher in elevation
for the splendor of His majesty, when He arises
to shake mightily the earth. Isaiah 2:10-21
At the Presence of hwhy, the earth will quake,
and the mightiest of men will cower in fear:
12 And I beheld when He had opened the sixth
seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood; 13 and the stars
of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree
casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken by a
mighty wind. 14 And the heavens departed as a
scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their
places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the
great men, and the rich men, and the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in
the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 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:
17 For the Great Day of His wrath has come;
and who shall be able to stand? Revelation
6:12-17
The day will come when the earth shakes
mightily beyond anything we have ever
witnessed in this age. Of course, there will be a
number of other very large quakes which lead
up to this most devastating, powerful
earthquake. When all things around us are
shaken to the ground, it will be the ultimate test
of faith: In what are we really trusting? Are we
daily trusting in a Creator who rules in an
Eternal Kingdom which can never be shaken?21
Infidels can talk about legislating the Creator
out of government, schools, and public meeting
places; ironically, faith-denying law-makers can
talk about having no right to legislate morality
while insisting in their “right” to legislate
immorality; liberal media moguls can talk about
where the various sectors of the American
population are “drawing the line” in the
separation-of-church-and-state “culture war;”22
and suspect this will be due to “the roaring of the sea and
the waves.”
21
Psalm 46:4-5, Hebrews 12:28-29, Daniel 4:34, 6:26,
7:14,27, Psalm 29:10
22
“Culture war” is the commonplace phrase used by the
liberal, news media; it is not the author’s terminology.
4
but the Almighty Creator is about to draw His
own lines (literally) in these debates as He splits
open the earth and brings this country to its
knees using fault line upon fault line. When the
Almighty “draws the line” over these empty,
needless discussions, the United States will
cease to exist in its presently free and
democratic form. This once great country will
be no more when it is judged by the Most High:
Our cities will come crashing to the ground
through earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal
waves. The opinions of man, over the moral
debates just considered, will come to naught.23
The founding fathers of this nation knew every
country must be judged for its sins in the
present because nations are not judged in the
resurrection: Only individuals are judged in the
resurrection. The founding fathers knew: if and
when the knowledge of Most High was driven
from the governing bodies of this country, that
our end as a nation would not be far behind.
However, an unrepentant America will not
be the only country to fall forever. The cities of
all proud, Torah-violating nations24 will see
their last days when hwhy arises to shake
mightily the earth:
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into
the air; and there came a great voice out of the
Palace of heaven, from the Throne, saying, It is
done. And there were voices, and thunder, and
lightning; and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since men were upon the earth,
so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the
great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell … Revelation 16:17-19
At the splendor of His majesty, at His awesome
Presence revealed from Heaven, the earth will
shake, the mountains will tumble, and the cities
of the nations will fall. The earth will quake at
the Presence of hwhy25 when He arises to shake
mightily the land. When this happens, will you
be ready to receive a Kingdom that cannot be
shaken? Any who desire to be prepared then,
must be learning to abide in His Presence now.26

 The Mountains Smoke
Things are heating up … literally. Before the
Flood of Noah, the earth was tropical, even in
its polar regions; but ever since the Ice Epoch
which was concurrent with the Great Flood of
Noah,27 worldwide climates have generally gone
from much cooler to much warmer. Many
forces are now contributing to the melting of the
Arctic glaciers laid down at the time of the
Flood, but the chief contributor to this thaw
appears to be heat from the inner core of the
earth which is evidently becoming increasingly
more influential. Left-wing, liberal claims
about global warming are wide of the mark and
greatly lack in scientific facts. If we accept the
views of the Elohim-denying, liberal news
media, we must believe their theory that
pollution from mankind is destroying the ozone
layer and letting in more heat from the Sun.
The fact is, though, the Sun has also been
warming up, and it has both reached and
maintained levels of coronal intensity heretofore
unseen.28 Yet even apart from this recent solar
phenomenon, global warming has been a
general trend since the time of the Flood, and it
has been gradually occurring over the thousands
of years since that cataclysmic, watery
27
See, “The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch,” by
Donald W. Patten. The first 8 chapters of this amazing
text offer a rare glimpse into the devastation caused by the
Flood, including an extraterrestrial ice storm of mammoth
proportions. This ice—with frigid temperatures far, far
below anything the earth could have ever produced
itself—was dumped on the earth by a planetary visitor,
and the subsequent gravitational pull as this celestial body
orbited the Earth resulted in immense tidal surges of water
as well as of molten lava. The immensely powerful,
upward thrust of these lava surges resulted in
orogeneisis—the creation of the mountain ranges. Mr.
Patten feels all evidence points to what we now call the
planet Mercury and that this orbiting body escaped the
gravitational pull of the Earth after about one year. This
escape occurred when the space visitor was positioned in
such a way the Sun’s gravity provided its release from the
pull of the Earth. It later rested in its current orbit as the
closest planet to the Sun. We feel these issues are critical
to understand since similar cataclysmic events are now
looming large on the horizon. We are pleased to indicate

judgment. Why? Because we have much
evidence the Great Deluge was concurrent with
an overwhelming ice epoch! We assert global
warming is not a phenomenon which was
brought about by the pollution of modern man,
although we are in full opposition to the careless
dumping of environmental toxins by numerous
industries whose only concern is corporate
profiteering. With or without man-made
pollutants, the increased solar activity of the
Sun, the rolling up of the sky like a scroll,29 the
heavens burning up with fervent heat, and the
impact of heavenly asteroids/meteorites,30 will
have tidal effects on the molten lava and will
cause it to surge forth from the beneath the
earth’s crust in amounts which are most
devastating and apocalyptic in scope. We feel
this molten activity is on the upswing and that it
has already been occurring for some time as is
evidenced by the newly bulging domes found at
numerous volcanic sites.31 So we assert once
more: “global warming” is occurring from the
inside out, far more than from the outside in!
Volcanic activity is a key feature of the coming
Judgment as many prophets have already
warned; the Presence of hwhy will burn the earth
with fire:
1 hwhy reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the
multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2 Clouds and
darkness are round about Him: righteousness
and judgment are the habitation of His throne.
3 A fire goes before Him, and burns up His
enemies round about. 4 His lightning
illuminated the world: the earth saw, and
trembled. 5 The hills melted like wax at the
presence of hwhy, at the presence of the
Sovereign of the whole earth. Psalm 97:1-5
Both Kepha (Peter) and Joel referred to “pillars
of smoke”—a phrase which perfectly describes

In the next section, more will be seen on the sky
retreating like a scroll.
30
And, possibly, the extreme gravitational pull on the
earth from a yet unseen heavenly body, or bodies.
31
Mount St. Helens and Yellowstone Park are two such
cases. It is altogether possible that the great increase in
worldwide earthquake activity (including increased quake
magnitudes) has been the result of lava surges far beneath
the earth’s surface.
volcanoes.32 After speaking of the Day of hwhy
and pillars of smoke before all Yisrael, Peter
would later write this of the fiery judgment
which would destroy the earth with molten lava
(and fire and brimstone from heaven):
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are
now, by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment
and perdition of irreverent men. 8 But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is
with hwhy as a thousand years, and a thousand
years as one day. 9 hwhy is not slack concerning
His promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. 10 But the Day of hwhy will come
as a thief in the night; in which the heavens
shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be
burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things
shall be dissolved, what manner of persons
ought you to be in all set apart conduct and
reverence, 12 looking for and hasting unto the
coming of the Day of Elohim, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Peter 7-12
The shaking of the heavens and the earth will
result in fervent heat pouring forth from the
inner core of our planet. We will contemplate
more about the shaking of the heavens in the
next section. For now we must ask, “Why is it
that the mountains smoke?” As we have already
seen in the 97th Psalm, the mountains smoke
when they are touched by hwhy; the mountains
run down with molten lava when His Presence
is made known upon them:
Bow Your heavens, hwhy, and come down:
touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Psalm 144:5
The prophet Isaiah wrote likewise:
32
Joel 2:30-32, Acts 2:19-21. Peter was actually quoting
the prophet Joel when speaking about the coming Day of
hwhy. Some have put forth the view “pillars of smoke”
refers to the column which rises to form a mushroom
cloud in a nuclear explosion. Our thoughts on the
possibility of nuclear war are seen in a subsequent
footnote.

1 Oh that You would rend the heavens, that You
would come down, that the mountains might
flow down at Your Presence,33 2 As when the
melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to
boil, to make Your Name known to Your
adversaries, that the nations may tremble at
Your Presence! 3 When You did awesome things
which we did not look for: You came down, the
mountains flowed down at Your Presence.
Isaiah 64:1-3
Nahum, the prophet, also warns us in like
manner:
The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt,
and the earth is burned at His Presence; yes, the
world, and all that dwell therein. 6 Who can
stand before His indignation? And who can
abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is
poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown
down by Him. Nahum 1:5-6
hwhy is already making His Presence known,
but we will yet see things which are far greater
in scope and magnitude. hwhy intends to make
His Name known among all nations,34 including
those nations which are now in mad decline
after having rejected the ancient paths of rest
and refreshing revealed in His Law.35 May each
of our readers be warned to walk in reverence
before the Name of hwhy El Shaddai, for all will
soon learn, firsthand, the truth of the matter:
While hwhy is love,36 that love makes Him a
consuming fire,37 and the earth will soon burn
before His Presence.
The Heavens Shake and Melt Above:
the Earth Shakes and Melts Below
The thing which impresses us about the
coming Judgment from the Throne of hwhy on
High is that the shaking of the heavens above
has a major and direct impact on what occurs
upon the earth below:
12 And I beheld when He had opened
the Sixth Seal, and behold, there was a

The context shows the phrase, “flow down,” means,
“flow down with lava.”

earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs,
when she is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 And
the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places.
Revelation 6:12-14
One contemporary prophecy teacher posits the
above text, …“the heaven departed as a
scroll,” … is a phrase which speaks of a nuclear
explosion.38 We heartily disagree as the context
of other Scripture shows this refers to the
Sovereign eswhy who is rending the heavens39
to come down and judge the earth.40 The writer
of Hebrews directly states it is the Sovereign
Messiah, the Son of hwhy, who will roll up the
heavens like a mantle when it has grown old:
8 But unto the Son He says, “Your throne,
Elohim, is for ever and ever: A scepter of
righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.”
10 And, “You, hwhy, in the beginning did lay the
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the
works of Your hands: 11 they will perish; but
You remain; and they shall all grow old as does
a garment; 12 and as a vesture shall You fold
them up, and they will be changed: but You are
the same, and Your years shall not fail.”
Hebrews 1:8,10-12
The prophet Isaiah also wrote of this sovereign
act, executed by the Creator in heaven above:
He will be the One to roll up the heavens like a
scroll.
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
and the heavens shall be rolled together as a
scroll: and all their host shall fall down,
as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as

Thus, the theory is put forth that we are facing the
horrors of an inevitable, nuclear holocaust.

Isaiah 64:1-3

Although we disagree with this author on his
inconsistent, Biblical interpretation, we can only pray
there will not be any manner of nuclear war or nuclear
terrorism. Our prayer is that hwhy will hold back the
winds of nuclear war so that when the Day of hwhy
comes, all men will know it is He who has stirred up His
wrath to awaken the world to righteousness. Revelation

a falling fig from the fig tree. Isaiah 34:441
When the heavens are melted with fervent heat
at the Presence of hwhy, the sky will depart like
a scroll. We assert the Revelation declares this
to be a sovereign act of the Most High. The
Revelation is “the revelation of eswhy the
Messiah:”42 It is a revelation of the One who
Epitomizes the Presence of hwhy. This book of
prophecy reveals from heaven43 the coming
wrath of hwhy44 upon all who have refused to
repent and believe the Good News. Yes, eswhy
came the first time displaying great love and
seeking to save that which was lost. Like a
lamb, He was meek and humble.45 But the
Revelation reveals He will come the second
time as a lion: eswhy is even called “the Lion
of the tribe of Yahudah,”46 and the prophetic
scrolls of the Apocalypse47 reveal He will render
vengeance with burning wrath upon His
adversaries.48
We have all heard of earthquakes, but what
about “heaven-quakes?” A BBC World News
article49 recently gave some new and amazing,
scientific evidence about powerful influxes of
electromagnetic radiation from deep space.50
Scientists call this kind of radiation a “gamma-
ray burst,” or “GRBs,” for an abbreviated plural.
Gamma-ray bursts are thought to be the result of
two stars colliding, or perhaps, the result of a
star imploding on itself! We feel this
information gives support to the words of our
Messiah and that when He spoke of the powers
of the heavens being shaken, He meant just

GRBs are reported to be the most powerful explosions
in the Universe, releasing over 100 billion times more
energy than the Sun emits in an entire year!
that.51 When stating this, eswhy was saying
nothing less than the prophets who had already
spoken in the Name of hwhy. Through Haggai,
hwhy declared on the seventh day of the Feast of
Tabernacles that He would shake the heavens,
the earth, the sea, and the dry land.52 The BBC
news article cited provided evidence the earth
was being bombarded by an influx of cosmic
radiation which this writer believes had serious
effects on many things terrestrial. The USGS
recorded an 8.1 quake on December 23, 2004—
one of the days upon which the “Swift” space
telescope picked up readings of cosmic radiation
(GRBs) inbound from deep space.53 Only three
days later, on the 26th of December, came the
9.0 quake and the numerous tsunamis which
decimated many Asian coastlines in the region.
We also point out that while these GRBs were
created from a cosmic disturbance which had
taken place hundreds of years ago, their effects
upon the earth came at the predetermined time.
If we carefully read the prophetic words of
the Savior, we see they indicate the shaking of
the heavens will result in great, apocalyptic
upheavals occurring upon the earth:
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the
moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, in bewilderment at the
roaring of the sea and the waves; 26 men’s
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking
after those things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of heaven
shall be shaken.” Luke 21:25-26
When the heavens are “melted with fervent
heat” at the Presence of hwhy, the stars of
heaven will afterwards fall to the earth.54 This

Island on December 23, 2004 at 14:59:03 UTC. For more

Given the extreme heat of our own Sun, and given the
power of GRBs is so many billions of times beyond the
energy which the Sun emits in an entire year, we believe
“fervent heat” (2Peter 3:10) may easily refer to the
collision of two stars. If so, we suspect more stars will
collide (or have already collided!) and even more GRBs
will reach our solar system and affect the Earth.

is a shaking of the heavens beyond anything one
could imagine. Nor is it simply an analogy as
some have claimed. Perhaps such cosmic
convulsions will result in the collision of
numerous planets after their orbits have been
altered, or deregulated. Perhaps such collisions
will occur from an inbound space visitor, a
“new” planet or large comet introduced to our
solar system. This would lead to a great
increase in the number of asteroids in our
immediate solar system which, in turn, would
lead to numerous stars (probably portions of
stars) being cast to the earth as described in the
prophecies.55 We expect there will be
cataclysmic events in the heavens which
present-day astronomers have never even
imagined. Electromagnetic radiation from the
Sun has an effect on the electromagnetic fields
of the earth, and not only so, we believe
evidence indicates such things have an effect on
the magnetic properties of the molten lava
under the earth’s surface. We have long warned
readers that the collisions of stars and planets in
their foreordained courses would bring about the
judgment of hwhy in the correct, predetermined
time for executing His wrath upon the lawless
and unrepentant nations of the earth.56 hwhy
will destroy the earth with fire—a burning
which He calls the fire of His jealousy:
Neither their silver nor their gold will
be able to deliver them in the Day of the wrath
of hwhy; but the whole land shall be devoured
by the fire of His jealousy: for He will even
make a speedy riddance of all those
who dwell in the land.
Zephaniah 1:18
Therefore, you wait upon Me, says hwhy;
until the day that I rise up to the prey: for My
determination is to gather the nations, that I
may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them
My indignation, even all My fierce anger:
for all the earth shall be devoured with the
fire of My jealousy. Zephaniah 3:8
The Sun will scorch men with heat; fire and
brimstone will fall from the heavens; the earth
55
Isaiah 34:4, Revelation 6:13, 8:7-11, 16:21. Planets
were likely considered to be “stars” in the Hebrew mind-
set. Genesis 1:14
56
Genesis 1:14, Luke 21:25-26
will be burned; and great amounts of vegetation
will be consumed.57 A number of burning
judgments are prophesied to occur because the
Sun will have become seven times brighter than
it is presently.58 And we expect this heightened
solar activity will be an increase which is
maintained during the Millennium since the
produce from the earth during the 1000 years
will be exceedingly abundant.59 The
photosynthesis process being so greatly
increased, combined with newly fertilized
soils—enriched with an abundance of volcanic
ash and hardened lava—will result in bountiful
harvests beyond measure!
All the cataclysmic events we have discussed
in this section will occur when the Presence of
hwhy is revealed in the heavens. hwhy has many
secrets which He does not reveal to mankind,60
and in the time of the End, we suspect He will
call upon the host of heaven to execute His
wrath in ways which will stun even those who
already believe. At His Presence, the heavens
will burn with the fervent heat of the One who
calls Himself a consuming fire; afterwards, they
will begin to shake;61 and the heavens will pass
away with a great noise;62 the stars of heaven
will fall; the sky will retreat like a scroll; the
earth will shake greatly; and the people of all
nations will cower before hwhy in fear.
Conclusion
Throughout our short study, we have
indicated why the forthcoming cataclysmic
upheavals must occur. However, let us review
those statements as we put them all together. It
is the very Presence of hwhy which results in
these apocalyptic events: At His Presence, the
seas roar;63 at His Presence, the earth quakes;64
at His Presence, the mountains smoke;65 and at
57

His Presence, the heavens shake.66 When the
Messiah rolls up the heavens like a scroll, the
heavens will dissolve with fervent heat, being
shaken beyond anything we can presently
imagine.67 The Presence of hwhy will
automatically oppose all that which has been set
up in opposition to Him; this is an inescapable,
spiritual principle which works throughout His
creation.68
The apocalyptic events which will transform
the face of the earth can be rather terrifying until
we realize it is the awesome Presence of hwhy
which is bringing about these great judgments.
Considering why such events are to occur, we
may actually find great comfort and great
strength in the days ahead. If we learn more
about Him now, and if we learn to dwell in His
Presence,69 it may be that we will experience a
great increase in faith when His awesome
Presence is more fully revealed in the coming
Day of hwhy. While many of those around us
will be cowering in fear, if we have learned to
recognize and to dwell in the Presence of hwhy,
we will find strength to remain faithful even in
this time of great judgment and catastrophic
devastation. Nay, we may even experience a
marked increase in faith beyond anything we
could have ever anticipated: We may find we
cannot be moved though all around us is
crumbling beyond measure under the weight of
apocalyptic Heavenly Judgment.70 This is
certainly our prayer for all those who seek to
please the Most High Creator and His Son,
eswhy the Messiah. It is also our prayer that
other readers will continue to seek for answers
and that each one will fully realize the great
truth behind the issues which our manuscript
reveals. If studied, the Scriptures will reveal
your Creator and Redeemer has already proven
His great love for you through the suffering and
sacrifice of eswhy the Messiah.71 He truly

Kingdom.
In light of the recent earthquake and
tsunamis in Asia, we actually believe hwhy has
already begun to make His Presence known, yet
we must realize this is only the beginning. He
will rend the heavens, rolling them up like a
scroll, after which He will come down to judge
the earth.72
The adversaries of hwhy will be broken to
pieces; out of heaven He shall thunder upon
them: hwhy shall judge the ends of the earth;
and He will give strength unto His king,
and exalt the horn of His Messiah.
1Samuel 2:10
Through the prophet Amos, hwhy warns the
entire earth that sin will be the end of every
nation which exalts itself through lawlessness:
“Behold, the eyes of the Sovereign hwhy
are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy
it from off the face of the earth.”
Amos 9:8
Let America and the entire world be warned:
He who once thundered from Mount Sinai, will
once more thunder from the heavens, bringing
vengeance upon His adversaries and judging the
ends of the earth.73 Repent of lawlessness and
turn to your loving Creator. hwhy will not long
tolerate the rampant sin and injustice which is
now consuming nearly every nation of the
world. He will not long tolerate the “scientific”
community perverting His created genetic
codes.74 He will not long tolerate the present-
day corporations and nations recklessly

11:18-19, 16:17-21
74
We cite a number of such scientific perversions which
are driven forward by the carnal bent (Ecclesiastes 7:29,
Romans 1:22,30) of degenerate men:
1. Monsanto’s “terminator seeds” which are unable to
reproduce as hwhy originally intended. Genesis 1:11-12
From all evidence, these sterile seeds are being thrust
upon nation after nation against the will of many farmers
who have traditionally kept viable seeds for replanting
year after year.
2. Those who are delving into cloning and stem-cell
research.
3. Genetically modified and irradiated “foods.”
10
polluting the earth, the sky, and the waters.75
He will not long tolerate the sins of abortion and
the rampant forms of sexual perversion which
are sweeping the globe, including the scourge of
sexual slavery which is now commonplace
worldwide. He will not long tolerate the blatant
violation of His Torah among the supposedly
religious who fail to seek Him.76 The Day of
hwhy will bring the ultimate fulfillment of the
prophetic statement made by the psalmist:
It is time for hwhy to act, for they have
made void Thy Torah.
Psalm 119:126
This Scripture provides the fullest explanation,
encapsulation, and summation of the wrath of
hwhy seen in the Apocalypse: The Judgment of
hwhy will not long delay when His Torah is cast
aside by the anti-Messianic, anti-Torah spirit of
lawlessness.77 If this country will not forever
close the doors of the abortion clinics, hwhy
Himself will arise to do so: and never again will
those doors open. Through the judgments and
plagues which come forth from His Presence,
hwhy will once more bring down the walls of
Jericho:78 He will destroy speculations and
every lofty thing which exalts itself against the
knowledge of Elohim.79 Those who wish to
argue in defense of their immoral lifestyles will
cease to do so as they flee in fear before the One
who will rise in judgment against all rebellion
and lawlessness.80 hwhy will arise and make His
Presence known, and He will bring an end to the
immoral outrage against His will and ways. In
doing so, He will greatly advance His marvelous
and unstoppable plan to restore “the ancient
paths”81 in all the earth.82

knowledge of the splendor of hwhy as the
waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
