Yellowstone National Park

What has Yellowstone National Park have to do with the Gnostic Way? On the surface, nothing, but below the surface, everything. While literal Christians are running around declaring that the "End Times" are coming, according to the Book of Revelation, it appears that God has placed a far more potent end times in Yellowstone National Park. The "End Times" predicted by the Book of Revelation and the "End Times" predicted by the Mayan Calender are figments of overactive imaginations. There is no reality underlying either one of them. Both are metaphorical and should be taken as such. Yellowstone Park is another matter. It turns out that Yellowstone is a Super Volcano. In case that term means nothing to you, imagine a volcano going off in the middle of the United States with a force at least 3,000 times Mt. St. Helens or even as much as 10,000 times. That, unfortunately is Yellowstone National Park. The volcano under the park is on a 600,000 year cycle and the 600,000 years are up. Its due to go off at any time. I am not suggesting that it will explode next Tuesday at 10:00am. It may take a few thousand years one way or the other, but it will go off at some point. What can we expect when it does? Rather than answer that question myself, I suggest that you google the Toba Super Volcano that went off about 74,000 years ago. There is much material on the Internet, and it is graphic. Our ancestors survived it, obviously, but not by much it turns out. Our wonderful Earth that we love so much is a dangerous place. We don't need to invent fairy stories to predict the end of the earth as we know it. What does this mean to a Gnostic? The Gnostic believes that we are eternal as is our God. It is not the Earth that holds and shields us, it is God. The search for God is not in the sky. When the Yellowstone Volcano blows, the sky will be full of ash and sulphuric acid. The Gnostic believes that the end for all mankind is not in an Armageddon, but rather in the arms of God. If you doubt this, go pay a visit to Yellowstone Park. I've been there several times and its beautiful; for now.
