5) Krakatoa 1883

In 1883 on Sunday 26th August, there was the loudest noise ever heard by the human ear. It was described by people on the Island of Rodriguez, 3,000 miles away as resembling the “distant roar of heavy guns”. It was heard in Mauritius, Perth and Central Australia. It created fifty to one hundred and thirty foot waves and covered a large part of the world in darkness and red skies.



It was the era of the Russian pogroms against the Jews and heralded the movement of Jews from Russia to Palestine and the Zionist Movement that was established in the 1890's.



From the sea of nations, to use a Biblical figure, a new nation was about to be born and to be drawn from the many nations into which the Jews had been scattered.



Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. Isaiah 17; 12-13

The Revelation 12 Sign

There is much written about the sun, moon and planets aligning on in September 2017. We have many reasons for suspecting that 2017 will be a prophetically significant year, and the time of the Jewish feast of Sukkot could be more significant than any other time, but we need to understand the scripture before we consider the stars.
