“All ye inhabitants of the world, who dwell on the earth, when the sign shall be lifted up on the mountains, you shall see, and you shall hear the sound of the trumpet” (Isaiah 18:3)

Abstract: It was on September 12, 2019, I was driving early in the morning from Eugene, Oregon to Portland, Oregon. The rising sun in the East highlighted all the snow-cone-like mountains that some would call hills. But there were shaped like volcanic cones. These are the newer craters of the Cascade Mountains in Western Oregon. They are shaped in a form similar to that of Mt. St Helen in Washington State before it erupted in 1980. If you look carefully there are possibly hundreds of these volcanic cones in the State of Oregon alone.
To my mind, they took on an appearance of spiritual imagery rather than a natural image. I do not know what the Lord was trying to communicate to me. I was greatly puzzled at the time. What was the spiritual significance of suddenly being aware of volcanic cones seemingly everywhere I go in Willamette Valley, and seeing them in the Cascade Mountains?
Recently I shared this experience with a friend. This is the response I received,
“The way of praising God is to sing, dance, and say praising words. The Lord will be glorified and happy. The joy of the Lord is our strength. I was reading a verse before but forget what verse is it, if people stop praising, all the things God created on earth will and are praising Him.
If we have a typhoon all the trees are dancing. If a volcano will explode they are shaking and dancing to let the fire out. If there is an earthquake the land is dancing, and the sea waves are praising too, let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
And that is the sign and wonders that Jesus is near to come. The ark of the covenant is near to come and everybody will prepare, the great revival is on its way. And also some countries are at war it is one of the signs (of things to come) and wonders.
“You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear stories about other wars beginning. But don’t be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes“ (Matthew 24:6)
And now, that time comes to separate the goats and sheep and all sheep will be the chosen peculiar people of the Lord. And the new emerging church will come together and cross the Jordan. They are going to where the mountain is whose water and milk are there for the people of the Lord. Praise the Lord most high.
If God sees that no one of the people cares about him, maybe that’s the time that volcano moves and will praise the Lord“

“Praise the LORD! Praise God in his Temple! Praise him in heaven, his strong fortress! Praise him for the great things he does! Praise him for all his greatness! Praise him with trumpets and horns! Praise him with harps and lyres! Praise him with tambourines and dancing! Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise him with loud cymbals! Praise him with crashing cymbals! Everything that breathes, praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!” (Psalms 150:1-6)
