Ice, Smoke and Fiery Plumes hand over the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier in Iceland
It was early day on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 that smoke and steam began belching from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland for the second time in less than one month. Melting ice, shooting smoke and steam erupted into the air for thousands of feet forcing hundreds of Icelanders to flee the rising floodwaters.
Over 4000 flights were suspended from Northern Europe as the entire European airspace in the north was completely shut down to all air traffic in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark all the way down the European coastline from Britain to Spain. In what was described as the worse airspace restriction in living memory, on the first day alone, it affecting the flying plans of over 600,000 people in Great Britain.
Europe was “walking in uncharted waters” for never have they had to experience this same scenario and it was only reminiscent of explosion of Mount St. Helens but never to this extent and affected such a large part of the world’s traveling populations.

Volcanic ash began drifting across the Atlantic Ocean. It first affected Northern Scotland , England then onwards to Scandinavia and Northern Germany and France. For the first time ever, Europe’s busiest airport, London Heathrow Airport, the second busiest airport in the world, next to Atlanta, was completely shut down. Not even 911 affected the world’s traveling public as this one catastrophic event. Shutdowns began to spread as flights were cancelled from France, Belgium, Netherland, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, and Switzerland. It would soon ride the jet stream around the Atlantic coastline of Europe, sealing the European Continent from the rest of the world, effectively paralyzing all Europe from air traffic.
According to experts, this Icelandic volcano may be here to stay potentially for several months. The havoc that it could do to the populations of Northern Europe could be catastrophic. Are we beginning to see the finger of the G-d of Israel asserting His divine authority to the nations that are the home today of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel? Is it not coincidental it is the Swedes, Norwegians, Danes and Brits that have been the driving force to divide up the Land of Israel and give the whole Shromron (Samaria) and Judea region to the Palestinians for a Palestinian State? What they do not understand it that they are the Lost Tribes of Israel not fully coming to their own awareness of their chosen identity. The land that they are casually given away, allowing the enemy of HaShem, the G-d of Israel to form a nation in the heartland of the homes of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, does not belong to the Palestinians, but rather to the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel?
Is it not amazing that this is the same region where the G-d of Israel guided His exiled and wandering Lost Tribes of the House of Israel, from the land where they were taken into exile in Khurasan (Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan)? From there, they were led to follow the pathway of their Tribal cousins of the House of Dan, as they crossed the mighty rivers flowing down to the Black Sea that were named after “Dan”; the Don (Dan) River, the D(a)nieper, the D(a)niester, and the Danube.
As they arrived into Northern Europe, they floated up the Danube into Northern Europe until they came to the land of Danmark (Denmark). They arrived after wandering for 300 years as the Cymrics, the Kelts, the Vikings of the North, the Scythians of Southern Russia, the Germanic Tribes of the Goths; the Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, the Vandals, and the Frisians.
Here we find the Germanic Saxons, derived from the Persian Sakes, called the “sons of Isaac”. They were allies with the Engles (meaning in Hebrew, Heifer, the tribal banner of the Tribe of Ephraim, and then became the Angles and eventually became the Anglo-Saxons that gave us the modern populations of Great Britain today.
Within hours, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) was sending out a reconnaissance flight to gather scientific data on how the volcanic ash was being distributed in the ashen cloud. According to Mike Branney, a senior lecturer in Vulcanology at the University of Leicester, remarked in conference:
Mike Branney – “Volcanic ash is not good to plane engines. Firstly it is highly abrasive and can scour and damage moving parts. Secondly, if it enters a jet engine the intense heat of the engine can fuse it to the interior of the engine with a caking of hot glass, which ultimately can cause the engine to cut out completely.”
As the engines become coated with a layer of obsidian, the dark hardened glass of volcanic ash, the engines fail, stop, and then the plane goes into a precipitous decline. As the BBC article, “Icelandic Volcanic Ash alerts Grounds UK Flights” wrote,
BBC – “In 1982 a British Airways jumbo had all four of its engines shut down as it flew through a plume of volcanic ash. There was also an incident on 15 December 1989 when KLM Flight 867, a B747-400 from Amsterdam to Anchorage, Alaska, flew into the plume of the erupting Mount Redoubt, causing all four engines to fail. Once the flight cleared the ash cloud, the crew was able to restart each engine and then make a safe landing at Anchorage, but the aircraft was substantially damaged…
Prof Bill McGuire, professor at the Aon Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre, said it was not "particularly unusual" for ash from Icelandic eruptions to reach the UK. "Such a large eruption... would have the potential to severely affect air travel at high northern latitudes for six months or more. In relation to the current eruption, it is worth noting that the last eruption of Eyjafjallajoekull lasted more than 12 months.”
