Red Sea volcano erupts, interesting image

The photograph of the Yemen volcano eruption shows two flames shooting upward from the cone of the volcano. Jabal al-Tair means Bird's Mountain? Interesting. Reminds me of the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2: 2-3

And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.

After this happened the Virgin Mary, the Apostles and the disciples were able to speak each other's languages and also of foreigners gathered outside. It's also a reminder that the Holy Spirit comes as a fire when necessary, and not just as a docile dove.


How interesting... the Red Sea remembered for the flight of the Jews from Egypt, Christian symbolism of the Holy Spirit, and an Islamic country. The three Abrahamic religions.
