Java to have a new religion after eruption???

13Friday

A large eruption of Mount Merapi in 1006 covered all of central Java with ash, destroying
the local Hindu Kingdom and opening the island to Muslim rule.  (see the end of the article below)

my humble comment:--

If that is history (God Story), would the upcoming minority Christianity takeover the central Java?
Lets pray that the people would accept this divine fate in God's timing.

Volcano Grows 30 Feet in Three Days

Mount Merapi
May 2, 2006
TVNZ - New Zealand

Indonesia's Mount Merapi has grown 10 metres in height in three days with
pools of lava forming at its smoking summit.

Experts fear an eruption could be imminent.


<http://www.standeyo.com/NEWS/06_ ... hange_pics/060502.m
erapi.jpg> Villagers living on the slopes of the 2,914-metre peak has been
on standby alert for more than three weeks.

That is one level below that which would require a mandatory evacuation for
more than 29,000 people living around its fertile slopes.

Volcano watchers said a new dome of lava had formed in recent days and was
getting bigger all the time, while yellow clouds of sulphur continued to
spew out.

"The dome has appeared on the southern part of the peak, while tremors are
fluctuating in high numbers," vulcanologist Subandriyo said.

Lava domes meant the cone-shaped volcano could erupt any day and its top has
grown as trapped magma from a reservoir 1.5km below the summit began welling
up on Sunday, he said.

The collapse of a lava dome can cause superheated pyroclastic flows of gas
down the mountain sides.

During the last eruption in 1994 hot gas clouds - called "shaggy goats" by
locals - travelled at fast speed several kilometres down from the summit and
killed 43 people, mostly from horrific burns.

The force of that eruption flattened houses and crops and killed livestock.

In 1930 at least 1,300 were killed in an eruption.

Authorities have yet to order villagers living on the mountain to evacuate
this time.

However, after the revered local ruler, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X of
Yogyakarta, has pleaded with people go, some pregnant women and children
left voluntarily for refugee shelters in the villages of Argomulyo,
Wukirsari and Gayam.

Yogyakarta, 20 kilometres from the mountain, is a centre for several leading
Indonesian universities.

Travel warnings from Canberra say Australians staying or living in the area
should be prepared to evacuate along routes already prepared by local
authorities.

Subandriyo," the head of vulcanology of the Yogyakarta Agency for the
Assessment and Application of Technology, said Merapi was ready to erupt at
any time.

"We no longer need to do measurements. Magma is already at the surface," he
told Indonesian media.

Many local people have been reluctant to leave the mountain, preferring to
take the advice of local mystics who believe Merapi will only erupt after
certain omens including mysterious beams of light shining over its steep
flanks.

Some have slaughtered goats and chickens as offerings to the mountain, while
others have held joint Muslim and Christian prayer gatherings.

The mountain has spiritual significance for many Javanese and is one of only
four places where the royal palaces of Yogyakarta and Solo make offerings to
placate the ancient Javanese spirits.

Merapi sits atop the unstable meeting point of the Australian and Asian
geographic plates, creating the so called "ring of fire".

A large eruption in 1006 covered all of central Java with ash, destroying
the local Hindu Kingdom and opening the island to Muslim rule.

so are you praying for lots of casualties? i dont care who's the victim i wouldn't pray for their death.

As long as the Hindu Shrine and Buddha temples exist in Indonesia, no harm will came to the Island nation. They reject it, they will have to deal with their own sins.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Red-hot lava began flowing from the crater of Indonesia's rumbling volcano Mount Merapi early Thursday as vulcanologists warned residents to heighten their alert because an eruption may be imminent.

The volcano eruptions are normal actually. So it got nothing to do with religions. Other planets too experience eruptions even big explosions from time to time. It's part of the process.

This is what is stated in the article. Just a piece of factual statement.

"A large eruption in 1006 covered all of central Java with ash, destroying the local Hindu Kingdom and opening the island to Muslim rule."

The destruction of the Hindu kingdom and the subsequent Muslim rule is something which happened over time. It is a historical fact.  It has nothing to do with the cause and effect of the volcanic eruption.. and for you to assume & suggest that the next eruption will result in the emergence of Christian predominance is just plain irrelevant. You can continue with your wishful thinking. Two years after the eruption (if it happens), pls come back to me  and lets compare notes. Let us see if the Muslim victims will convert to Christianity like their ancestors embraced Islam from Hinduism.. OR  let us see if the Christians will come in and populate that area making it their stronghold..
