I have been reading Amos recently.  Having blogged about Amos 1 on the M8 earthquake at Hazor, these few days in Feb 2013, it seemed that the pacific ring of fire is getting angry.

Sometime in Sept 2012, strange fire tornadoes were captured on video at Alice Springs , Australia - see youtube. And then in Nov 2012, the Russia volcanoes started spouting and flowing.  The awesome panorama view of this active volcano is fantastic to watch.

Looking at the map - that left side of the red line from Tolbachik to Santa Cruz - Soloman Islands - in fact as I am blogging now , another M7.1 just shook Santa Cruz again.  Amazing shaking over the last few days of magnitude above 6!

Reflections
Fire - signifies God's judgement.
The prophetic oracles in Amos 1 & 2 to Syria, Phlistines, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab and Judah except Israel  - ALL ended up with a fire being sent upon it! 7 of 8 got the flames!

The Lord repeatedly said " I will not turn away the punishment thereof....." because of all the various errs each made.

Amos 3:4 "Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?"
Amos 3:3 "Can two walk together , except the be agreed?
Amos 3:5  "Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?"
Amos 3:6 "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city and the people not be afraid?"
Amos 3:7 "...but he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets"
Amos 3:8 " The lion has roared , who will not fear? the LORD GOD has spoken who can but prophesy?"

OH oh Oh oh Oh oh...lion has roared and trumpet has sounded! And fire has been seen over north in Russia and south in OZ......Oops OH oh .....

Frightened? Umm...
The remedy is one not of fear. But to understand the signs of times in our life.
Amos 3:10 :For they know not to do the right. "Indeed the world values and systems are so enstrangling.  Those who are indifferent or careless may just watch the world goes by.  Only 1/3 remnant will be awake like the 5 wise virgins. 

The best cure can be found in Amos 4 & 5.

1. Understand who God is . In Amos 4:13 - He is THE LORD, The God of host - that is His name

2. Proactively guard our hearts . In Amos 5:4,6,8 ,14" Seek the LORD and we shall live"

3. Perhaps it is time to wind down . Amos 5:13 "Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time, for it is evil time" S377? White Paper for 6.9mio? - time to be silent and seek His face instead.

Our God is a consuming fire.  He is . Like the fire tornadoes and the volcanoes, fire is spouting from above and beneath! Ouch!
