The volcano at the island nation of Tonga erupted with an explosive force that was more than 600 times as powerful as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, according to scientists.
Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center said that they came up “with a number that’s around 10 megatons of TNT equivalent.”
That means the volcano blast was equal to the force of more than 650 “Little Boy” atomic bombs, one of which was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945 during WWII and had an estimated force of 15,000 tons of TNT.
“Little Boy” was the nickname assigned to the first of only two nuclear weapons ever used in combat. The bomb was a highly-enriched uranium bomb that was dropped from a B-29 Superfortress bomber in World War 2, exploding in the air and leveling Hiroshima, Japan.
The Tonga volcano erupted with a blast heard thousands of miles away in Alaska, and also produced a giant mushroom cloud in the sky like a massive nuclear bomb and sent tsunami waves across the Pacific.
In the wake of the blast, Tonga’s 170 islands were covered in ash, including the airport at the capital city, Nuku’alofa, which was initially preventing relief flights from landing.
The tsunami waves that were unleashed were up to 50 feet tall, which destroyed all homes on Mango island, and the government said there was also extensive damage on Fonoifua and Nomuka islands.
Scientists say the volcanic blast was likely one of the world’s biggest eruptions that was one of the loudest events to occur on Earth in over a century.
The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation 6) foretell that there will be seismic activity of earthquakes and volcanoes signaling the world is nearing the end of this age and the coming of Jesus Christ.
These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
