Volcanoes: General Scriptures Concerning

You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.

And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,

The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.

Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.

It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.

If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence, …

“Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who devastate the whole earth, declares the LORD. I will stretch out My hand against you; I will roll you over the cliffs and turn you into a charred mountain.

The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.

The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence—the world and all its dwellers.

Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
