#Tonga #Volcano #Eruption
*The whole truth about the coronavirus. Watch the video you will be shocked* EVERYDAY.CF 2021 was an action-packed year I got a feeling 2022 is going to get even crazier /-9
Sigh..
All the more we need to sharpen up our faith through prayer during this time.
The subject is the volcano emergency on Tonga. Please do keep up.
My heart is with the people of Tonga. I will donate, but I am not wealthy—I wish I were. I really do. 🤗💗💋
@Angelous 777 Praying does nothing at all.
@J C Now I know what they mean when they say somebody is heartless! You!!!
@J C Prayer sparks action to move upon the hearts of people to help in any way possible. Because we have a living God in the Spirit that hears our prayers of all.
Pray 🙏🙏 is all we can do
Peace. Yahhhhhhhh. Help our brothers and sisters HUAHHHHH!!!! LOVE THY NEIGHBORS. LISTOOOOOO
🙏🌏🌍🌎🙏
Devil rules the world (1st John 5:19). He is liar and murderer (John 8:44). His style is deception and violence. It can be recognized everywhere from family to international relationships.
Massive betray in powers leads humankind deeper and deeper in deadly dangerous troubles. Solding clergye supports betrayers by dispersing false teachings. Hatred among people based on their race or nationality was Blessed by clergy too!
That’s why we have the Gospel: the True god, Jehovah, will maintain His own Heavenly Kingdom (Daniel 2:44). The anointed king, Jesus Christ, will put everything in order and solve all humankind’s problems. 🙂
The way it will be done is an education. (Isaiah 54:13,14; 1st Corinthians 1:21).
All are we relative through the Adam and every time human kills human he sheds the blood of his brother! This depends not of our race or nationality. (Genesis, ch. 1; Acts 17:26).
Acts 24:15: “And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.”
So, we will meet our beloved ones again! 🙂
Zechariah 14:9: “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses organization experiences a lot of problems and there are many betrayers among them.
Watch!
Tonga ! Tonga ! Tonga ! Tonga ! Tonga ! Tonga ! Tonga ! Tonga !
Kia Kaha Tonga..
Wasn’t a volcano. It was a bomb, nuke.
Notice how the sky’s are blue and cloudy? Where’s the ashes?
@COVfefe Patriot A weapon of mass destruction that isn’t doesn’t involve nuclear fission, how interesting. And this “weapon of mass destruction” was placed in an underwater volcano, all without the Tongan or any other government knowing? Fascinating theory. Care to prove it?
@COVfefe Patriot Can you show me the science behind splitting fissionable isotopes without producing highly unstable fission products that make alpha, beta and gamma decays? Just saying it’s 2022 doesn’t change atomic physics.
@J C look up rods of god.
@COVfefe Patriot Just give it up as you’re embarrassing yourself.
@COVfefe Patriot what qidiot.
God bless them, God bless us all.
God is a volcAno and she is comin. Sound is consciousness.
🙏🙏 those people who cares about the needy in Tonga
Where is Jimmy The Superfly Snuka when you need him?
Lol
❤️
That’s lots worse than we were expecting, wow,. Let’s hope there isn’t a bigger Eruption,. Which very well may happen.
That’s sad….there’s has to be a way to get more aid to them
@John Smith <-- ooh look ma, there's another one that has naff all idea how long it takes to sail 2,000 miles.
@Dougal Tolan They airlift supplies to emergency zones these days. This situation is just insanity at its finest.
@John Smith It’s obvious that have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Aeroplanes can’t fly in ash & they weren’t able to get close enough to do an air drop. The runway was also covered in ash. Both New Zealand & Australia sent ships with emergency resources immediately. Tonga is over 2000 kms from New Zealand, and even further from elsewhere. Contact the Tongaan consulate in New Zealand if you wish to give resources. Put up or shut up.
@sixth sense amelia La Palma was active for 3 months, and still they managed to cater for a large population, they already said the reason they didn’t want any aid was become they didn’t want to affect their covid status.
@John Smith La Palma is a totally different scenario & it’s like comparing apples & oranges. Tonga is an autonomous nation & makes decisions about their own welfare however they see fit. Go fix chit in your own country if it bothers you that much.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Pita Taufatofua’s incredible bod and his… slippery abs… I need a towel now.
This is a scientists dream
Talk about having an IRON WILL
Will it cool the earth
@UPWHEREThe SUNDONTSHINE Wsych the news to get a Rd cation dummy
unfortunately, it doesnt seem likely.
Volcanic stratospheric aerosols cool the surface by reflecting solar radiation and warm the stratosphere by absorbing terrestrial radiation. The 1991 Vei6 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, cooled global temperatures for about 2–3 years.
this eruption however emitted 1/50 of the stratospheric volcanic aerosols that cools the earth when compared to the Mt. Pinatubo’s eruption.
Even Mt Pinatubo’s size eruption wont do much to cool the earth in today’s climate. we need like 10 mt pinatubo eruptions to dent global warming.
@UPWHEREThe SUNDONTSHINE You cray cray. The Sheens, who owns a whale seeing operation on Nomuka said that they could feel how boiling hot the sand was underwater a few months ago. Now they know why.
@Pohana Hawaii all volcanos have boiling hot water. Hot springs all over the western united states exist by created boiling hot water from a nearby volcano. That doesn’t mean it exploded. Every HOT spring in the world has boiling hot water fueled by lava. You can have a freezing cold river where a boiling hot springs comes up out of that river in just one spot of that river. Additionally, yellowstone geysers explode water from the earth as the volcano nearby heats the water. Yet, NO explosion. If Hunga Tonga volcano exploded, where is the Lava? NONE.
You, CRAY cray for being so naive. Animals would flee the area days and weeks before the explosion as they can sense an eruption. The earthquake that was recorded happened after the volcano not before. Show me videos of the lava flow from the largest volcano ever recorded in the world SO far? Research hydrogen bomb tests from the 1950s near the same islands and the results. You will find a perfect replica of the same event, only larger. Do your research before you start calling strangers names online. Have a nice day!
@UPWHEREThe SUNDONTSHINE Where’s the massive radiation if this was a nuclear bomb? As you’re neither nuclear scientist nor vulcanologist, please look up subduction volcanoes and underwater vents. If you’re have interest in seeing what Nomuka was like before this, Gone with the Wynns have some excellent videos about the Sheen family.
Why would they not want help?
Because foreigners bring in COVID. They do not have the healthcare system that can take care of a pandemic.
@sixth sense amelia Stupid comment.
@J C It’s the truth. Deal with it.
We need to send them our vaccines ASAP so they can reopen soon because Covid is here to stay.
“God’s Blue Marble, no small Wonder. Who could fanthom and what could conjour such a Marvel but God, God’s Blue Marble ” by Steven F Gooden
Ok sure…swimming 27 hours…BS
😂🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️He must be AQUAMAN turned brown🤣🤣🤣
@Nefertari Ariki why stop there why not just say he swam for 50 hours. Msm is complete trash
Praying for Tongan people 🙏🙏
prayng is scam
Thank you for the update. It is such good news to know that aid is finally arriving.
Quit waiting around and just get there and start helping out…. They must feel so abandoned by the rest of the world. All I can do is keep them in my thoughts and pray that everyone gets through this disaster.
It takes time to gather supplies, they are getting them over there. Yes, more people can help. It is hard with them being so isolated and no communications available.
They need supplies not physical help they said. They’ve only has 1 case of covid this whole time and DONT want anyone from outside there infecting them. I don’t blame them.
Thoughts and prayers to Dances with wolves.
Wow 57 years old and made it after 27hrs of swimming. How did he even know in what direction to get back to the Island???
@David Lutz who’s lying 🤥 🤔
Tongans know the waters.. they can float on their back and breathe
@JM Jm ignore it. It comments that on everything.
New Zealand 2006: Rob Hewitt spent 75 hours in the open sea. Over the 75 hours he became extremely cold & severely dehydrated, his skin was nibbled by sea lice, he suffered hallucinations. He survived by eating kina & crayfish & sucking watery mist from his oxygen tank.
When all you can see is ash that stings your eyes, no sun and no moon to guide you, you tell me which direction is which.
A century or two ago this event would have meant new top soil and some down trees. Today any natural event that occurs is automatically a natural disaster because the place has been developed and over run with human beings. Sorry but it’s the truth.
Just a reminder that we live on a dangerous planet that does not care if we are in the way or not. Be smart, don’t live on low ground near the sea, especially around active volcanos. You’re really playing with your life if you are.
Some people aren’t in the economic situation to be able to move.
Also, some people don’t mind the danger.
🤔 And just where do you suggest people go? Half of the entire planets population lives within the proximity of a volcano or near the ocean.
The time end of the world
Warning from Allah)(GOD)
And you just can’t wait for the end, can you?
@J C
Yes, I am waiting for the end of the world because🙂 this world is very cruel. Real life is after death
@J C
There are great devils like America, Israel and India in this world. The world will not end until we cut off the heads of these devils.
@طالب الأفغاني 5 Spoken like a true man of faith……
🙏🌏🙏 Thank goodness aid is arriving in Tonga! Sending thoughts and blessings to the people and county of Tonga.
They need real help, not imaginary
@Kotex Connection
You need real help. Not imaginary.
🙏🏼 prayers to all those effected in this nightmare 🙏🏼 and especially to those who lost their lives and family members. May God ease your pain and you get whatever you need AMEN 🙏🏼
Great full 🙏👍
Thank God that Tonga is getting help, from the bad weather.
https://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
would that be the same god that let it happen, religion is a scam
@Kotex Connection Exactly. An all-able god could have stopped the eruption from happening, but either chose not to (making him a sadist) or couldn’t (why’s he a god then? Pathetic). I know If I had the power to, I would have prevented that eruption from happening.
Their homes destroyed, no water, no food, no shelter – but Musk wants to send them phones. WTF
#TongaStrong❣
I pray to GOD to help THE TONGAN PEOPLE!!!!…🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏…..
Which God?
Wow.
We love you Tonga. Good vibes sent to your island
let robots build houses on water
Is Tonga vaccinated?
I have read that 80% of population able to be vaccinated is, but I do not know if that includes the booster.
@Karen Tufts Thanks, Karen. If most are vaccinated, they should allow more outside help in.
@Pohana Hawaii why? So they can go from 1 case to 1000 in a matter of days? Drop the supplies and get out. They don’t need anything more to deal with than they already have.
I don’t understand. Why are they rejecting outside help?
@Karen Tufts We can have a hospital ship docked in the distance, for instance, in the event that some may get Covid or need other types of medical care. Surely, their medical facilities are in needs right now too.
@Pohana Hawaii The have had only one case of Covid. That is astounding and an advantage of being an island. They have not been convinced by disinformation that catching and spreading infectious disease is a politically or culturally a source of pride. Normal people avoid getting sick.
@Ilovecatvideos Haha, good political jab ✌
@Ilovecatvideos Nancy Pelosi told me to go to China Town.
Kamala Harris told me I shouldn’t get the vaccine because it was started under Trump.
@Quicks1lvr Both distorted without context because that’s what right wing media does. I won’t bother giving the context because all you care about is a false talking point.
Thanks NZ for helping my Island 🏝 🙏
🌱🌏💚 Kia Kaha.
Thank you New Zealand for your quick response to Tonga. It is very much appreciated. Praise God for your loving ❤ mercy!
🌱🌏💚 KiaOra.
They’re definitely gonna spread covid there.
27 hours that man swam. Wow. He wasn’t a spring chicken either.
swim to calm waters and float naturally until then
This man is probably more physically fit that so many of our youth in America that are so much into video games and a society that are more dependent on Super stores for their sustenance . Not farming or gathering from the wilds as our ancestors did in the past.
Be careful the Clintons don’t show up to offer their aid because they’ll rip your right off
Australia, make sure you scan everyones qr code before giving aid. If they refuse, lock them in jail or charge them for fresh water, OK?
Someone is triggered.
Wtf is wrong with you?
Praying for Tonga
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💙
Tonga volcano eruptsVery happy, pleasant. Oh, yes, such a spectacular scene needs to appear every day. The more people die, the better. GreatI hope this spectacular and beautiful scene will happen every day all over the world, which will make people happier
Aren’t you a Special one? Enjoying life are we?
Ridiculous reporter voice, come on
These people are living in the shadow of an erupting volcano but they are worried about a virus with a 99.98% survival rate. Smh. Get over it people. You are going to die eventually.
Tongans been living on that island way b4 America even became a thing. Yes everyone eventually dies but we don’t want to speed up that process (like here in the U.S.). Are u out there offering ur help? Didn’t think so. Let them do it how they wna do it ur not suffering r u? Jst sit safe & comfortably behind ur screen. Thanks 🤣
I was about crashing about of business when ☝️ when me stabilize my capital and funded my bitcoin binary account to make thing stabilize and now I am more than grateful for the help I got

This guys voice is painful…but so happy Tonga is getting relief 💓
Nuclear test,,wake up sheeple
Amen and amen God is great thank you for another unseen day 🙏🙌❤ Bless you THANKS for posting 📫prayers sent 🙏😊❤☺
Stupidity at its finest, let’s not help them with much needed supplies immediately, instead let’s worry about the slight chance they’ll catch covid. A world gone insane.
Why do news outlets always put banners on videos so you cannot see??? Makes no sense what so ever!
it was a bomb
No, it wasn’t a bomb.
Covid is the least of a problem🙄
All of that time spent trying to lower your co2 contributions to the world? Well this volcano just reversed all of that work. Millions of tons of sulfur dioxide dumped into our atmosphere, and a rich, useless politician can’t do anything about it.
WE MUST HAVE FAITH.
WITHOUT FAITH WE CAN’T PLEASE HIM!
Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hebrews 11:6 – But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Amen.☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹
Useless myth.
@Janet Dotson Acts 28:25-27
And when they did not agree with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one parting word, “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, saying,
‘Go to this people and say,
“You will keep on hearing, but will not understand;
And you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive;
For the heart of this people has become dull,
And with their ears they scarcely hear,
And they have closed their eyes;
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I would heal them
These are just the “beginning of sorrows” folks! LOOK UP, SEEK CHRIST, and PRAY THAT YOU MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING IN THE 70th WEEK OF DANIEL (LUKE 21:34-36)!
John 3:16, NIV
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
1 John 1:9, NIV
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Useless religinuttery seems common on disaster threads.
I have a hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11🙌❤
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 10:9-11
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness”. So many people make an initial confession of belief, but then allow satan to steal their belief. It is why so many claim salvation but their lives continue on in the same way—unchanged. They add God to their lives by saying they believe in Him, but do they really? If you truly believe in Jesus Christ, wouldn’t you want to know more about Him? Wouldn’t you want to be as close to the Lord as you could? Wouldn’t you pursue and cultivate a relationship with Him? Wouldn’t you have a healthy fear of the Lord and of displeasing Him? If you truly believe Him to be God, how could you not long to go deeper into God’s plan for your life, knowing that His plan would be your purpose? How could you live for yourself only when this knowledge is a true belief?
I believe many want to believe, but they do not sincerely believe. This is why God said you would know who are His by the fruit they bear. Not because their good works make a difference in getting to Heaven, but because their fruit bears their belief. Brother Charles Tony McCullough (one of my favorite preachers) once said “if you’re not striving, you’re not going”. How true—not because your deeds can get you in, but because you must fight the enemy daily to not steal your faith, your belief, in who Jesus really is.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
That island should be evacuated. The eruptions are not over. It’s like putting a bandage on a heart attack.
Can we just praise of the 1 Covid case
It could be a gift that keeps on giving, they reported their first covid case right before the volcano went off and now all these foreigners are coming to help lol
What an amazing miraculous story !!!
Only 3 confirmed dead so far sadly thendeath toll will.go up prayers to all
OFA LAHI ATU TONGA!!
🌱🌏💚 Kia Kaha Tonga.
A freaking volcano & tsunami & covid is an issue?
Yes. Tonga has had only 1 or two cases and people from abroad might be infected and then the virus can spread quickly in Tonga. Understand now?
🌎👍🏽👍🏽
Is this not giving us something to think about ourselves, our lives and the things that we do everyday, we, who are in good condition? Is this not giving us Light to think of making the best of our lives to do good to others and to ourselves to create a happy and peaceful World.
This is a mighty Polynesian people thecwill survive and rise as the beautiful people that they are in time the ash will become what has in past time help to restore and fertilize the earth and Tongan will bloom and be fruitful
Blow your ear drums to Mars 🚀
There is no video of the eruption from close-up, because it was the size of a hydrogen bomb detonating. Any video you’ve seen is from the FOURTEENTH, not the 15th.
This is soooo scary, i don’t like this happening. I just don’t like it! 🙁
Tongans are stronger than Americans. We should send them money, and supplies, then let them handle it, without question of any possible blunders.
3 deaths with something that catastrophic? Give me a break!
Prayer is the key to having a superpower get into action to help his people to survive a catastrophe of this magnitude. I live in Alaska and our 7,1 earthquake a few yrs. back produce no deaths. A lot of us Alaskans are praying people and believe in prayer.
@bessieofnome Just luck.
@Helen Pauls In a situation that is urgent when we need someone to save us, we as a created being experience through prayer and calling out to God that there is really a spirit that becomes more real to us and comes to our aid.. A so called superman as in cartoons., which we know exist in a cartoon is not real. A God who comes to us as a Spirit is more real than seeing a human superman. I know so because I was involved in a three grizzly bear attack in 1989 and our family of 8 all survived with only my elderly Dad being injured with his stomach bit into and the bear did not tear out his stomach/intestines as that is what a bear does when they attack a human or their prey on the stomach. No such thing as luck. It is always God in the Spirit out of his love comes to the rescue.
@bessieofnome I understand that some need a crutch, or some spiritual thing to believe in to get by. Thats your thing, just don’t push it on others, who can and do survive without it.
Australian debt trap enacted upon a disaster stricken nation.
50 ft tsunami ?! awful 🙁
It’s been days now and no Tongan representative has come out once to thank the West for their aid efforts
Amazing!! Prayers for Tonga!
Tsunami, ash, no clean water, no electric, almost no outside communication, an overwhelming ecological disaster where time is of the essence and THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT COVID.
WHAT? NO VACCINE FOR THE TONGANS?
THE LORD JESUS IS TALKING TO ALL OF YOU THROUGH FIRE, FLOODS, SNOW FALLS, TORNADOES, EARTHQUAKES, CORONA-VIRUS AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, BUT YOU DO NOT LISTEN.
Daniel 9:13
As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.
We are under grace so Gentile people have a chance to know the truth and not die like animals without knowledge. The truth is the words of God is not made by just any man but by the holy prophets from Israel. He created the earth to stay holy and people on earth to obey His laws and commandments, so that peace, long life, good health and prosperity for an everlasting time will reign. Like the tree, you cut it down but it grows back. He gave it to the Jews to teach to the Gentiles so that they can reap the benefits of obedience.
Romans 3
What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.
The Jews are called to live holy life and commanded to use righteous government on the basis of obedience towards the Law of Moses. When the Jews transgress it or get influenced by the way of life of the Gentiles, the Lord God punishes them with the Gentiles through famines, sickness, wars and death until they are few in numbers. America came in Israel and influenced them to follow democracy government. Democracy came from Greeks gods. American Christians replaced the teaching of Lord Jesus which is the Law and Prophets with theology that teaches to reject the Law of Moses. This is a great transgression. Since ancient times He has been sending calamities to the Gentile countries to destroy them for influencing His people to disobey His Law.
Leviticus 18
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations.
Psalm 125:3
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.
Prophecy foretold the Lord God allows only Gentiles to exist until the appointed time comes in which He will destroy them altogether, so that He can give the whole earth to His people Israel and children of Zion as an inheritance. The only Gentiles that will exist are those who join Israel and Mount Zion in obeying His Law. What you gentile people should do is to repent from transgressing His Law by obeying it. Do not allow religions deceive you into thinking you are free from the Law of Moses, and you are loved or forgiven by God when you see the truth you are being destroyed because you are all worthless and more than nothing in the eyes of Lord Jesus for rejecting the Law of the Holy Father God.
Isaiah 40:17
All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
Daniel 4:35
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, “What have You done?”
Lord Jesus is sending this message through Mount Zion, Heavenly Jerusalem, another salvation which He ordained in this last day to gather His elects from the four corners of the world to take refuge in Mount Zion from the final end of the Gentile world.
Jeremiah 4:6
Set up the standard toward Zion. Take refuge! Do not delay! For I will bring disaster from the north, and great destruction.
Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
The Spirit and the bride

Where are all the celebrities at? 🤔 lots of talk but no helping
#suspicious0bservers was talking like no fear nothing to worry about waves wouldn’t be an issue….then retracted his comment after he found his foot in his mouth.
They need desalination ships instead of stuff being delivered. That way they can produce fresh water themselves and minimise the risk of covid contact with aid agencies. They need satellite communications, water filtration, n95’s. Food, shelters but not just tarps but something more substantial like shipping containers emergency accommodation. And in recovery They need disaster education and warning systems with tsunami escape areas/towers, also recovery plans.
👍 These things have been sent & aught to have arrived now.
It’s amazing how them planes can carry tons and still get off the ground.
Beautiful
Most of the aid they will receive will be a result of wealth attained by colonialism
They get free cell phones. Good for them
Kia kaha our Tongan whanau.
Only New Zealand and Australia have arrived to bring Aid to those countries where is the US this time huh?? Go figure
Biden can’t even Supply Aid and relief to our border so doesn’t surprise me that he hasn’t reached out to the Tongans after a volcano and tsunami
Australia and New Zealand big brother to all the pacific nation with open arms and good heart
How come the Tongan accent sounds like a kiwi accent?
wow 27 hours swimming back to the island… just wow
Prayers and healings to my people of Tonga 🇹🇴🙏🏽🤎
