Dormant Volcanoes

Volcanoes can lie dormant for years before erupting. However, many times there are warning signs, and local residents can be evacuated safely beforehand. Iceland is even able to plan tourist events around volcanic eruptions (Theresa Machemer, “New Fissure in Iceland Volcano Prompts Evacuation of Tourists,” Smithsonian.com, April 7, 2021, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/new-fissure-iceland-volcano-prompts-evacuation-tourists-180977433/). In the same way, God’s coming judgment is slowly coming but not without warning. We are given many opportunities to repent and come to serve him before his judgment occurs.
