Volcanoes, Comets: Past, Present, & Future
Signs of Wars Part 12: 13P/Olbers reaches Perihelion and an analysis of 1815 and 1956 Passings
Introduction
This series started with research about the 12P/Pons-Brooks comet and its nickname:
“Devil Comet”,
“Mother of Dragons”, and
“Broom of Destruction” pulled from scripture.
In this research article, we will look at a series of events:
What is happening in Iceland?
What related events occurred in the past?
What is reaching perihelion June 2024?
Iceland the Land of Fire and Ice
Iceland has glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, and northern lights. Since 2021, a series of volcanic eruptions have rocked Iceland. These volcanoes have been dormant for nearly 800 years. The amazing images of lava spewing up into the sky from long fissures have forced 4000 residents to evacuate.

As of June 24th, 2024, RTE news reported,
Authorities in Iceland have said that a volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest of the country has ended after 24 days of activity.
Further eruptions occurred in August 2022, as well as July and December 2023, leading volcanologists to warn a new era of seismic activity had begun in the region.1
Just one week before the volcano decided to take a “breather”, emergency teams were spraying water on the advancing river of lava for it to harden to protect a power plant.2 These amazing “Acts of God” show that our Earth is still active and great forces influence “a new era of seismic activity.”
What was the largest volcano in recorded history?
Largest Eruption in Recorded History
On April 5th, 1815, a catastrophic volcano, Mount Tambora, exploded, killing approximately 90,000 people on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. The volcano erupted ~60 megatons of sulfur, and 24 cubic miles of ash, pumice, and aerosols causing a “year without a summer” the following year.3
Mr. Steinberg wrote, “Largest eruption in recorded history led to global temperature drop”, published February 26th, 2024 in the Almanac,
Mt. Tambora ejected immense amounts of volcanic ash into the upper atmosphere, where it was carried around the world by the jet stream. The volcanic dust covered Earth like a great cosmic umbrella, dimming the Sun’s effectiveness during the whole cold year. This resulted in a further reduction in solar irradiance, which brought record cold to much of the world during the following summer. Such an eruption would explain the appearance of the 1816 Sun as “in a cloud of smoke.”4
The 1816 “year without a summer” resulted in:
Summer snowfall, recorded in North Eastern United States
Crops failing globally including the United States (specifically NY, MA, NH, and VT) as well as in Europe, Russia, and China
Global famines, riots, and disease outbreaks.5
What also happened in 1815?
Heinrich Olbers’ Discoveries
Heinrich Olbers was the son of a Protestant minister and the eighth child of sixteen children.

He became a doctor and astronomer where he applied mathematics to celestial discoveries. Olbers was also responsible for:
First discovering the 13P/Olbers Comet which was sighted on March 6th, 1815
Discovering the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, namely Pallas and Vesta
The Olbers' Paradox: Olbers’ paradox poses the question:
If there is an infinite number of stars in an expanding universe, shouldn’t the sky be lit up with end-to-end stars?
Why is the night sky black, especially between stars?
The answer implies that “the universe is too young for light to have reached the Earth from very distant regions”6
Doctor Olbers's research implies a young Earth and the discovery of the 1815 comet 13P/Olbers coincides with the “Largest eruption in recorded history”.
Comet 13P/Olbers
Comet 13P/Olbers has a 69-year orbit and has returned to Earth in 2024:
June 26th, 2024 - “Comet will be visible in night sky for first time in nearly 70 years” by Jack Wojczynski
June 26th, 2024 - “Comet not seen since 1956 set to pass by Earth” by Matt Jaworowski
June 5th, 2024 - “Comet 13P/Olbers Juices up June Skies” by Bob King7
(source: A sketch made of Comet 13P/Olbers by William R. Brooks during its pass in 1887. (Public Domain))
Comet 13P/Olbers will make its closest approach to the Sun on 30 June [2024], at a distance of 1.18 AU.8
Furthermore, the last time 13P/Olbers was sighted was Sept. 12, 1956.9 What happened in 1956?
Bezymianny Blast 1956
Coincidentally, in 1956, there was another record-breaking volcanic eruption in Russia,
In 1956, the volcano produced a sector collapse together with a catastrophic lateral blast explosion21,22,23 renowned as one of the world’s strongest eruptions of the twentieth century.10
Alexander and Marina Belousova, geologists-volcanologists from Russia posted the following before, during, and after photos of this 1956 eruption which rivaled Mt St. Helens in North America.
Let’s look up at 13P/Olbers and follow its path through the heavens in 2024.
13P/Olbers Path Through the Mazzaroth
Two comets were in the constellation Taurus this past May 11th, 2024
12P/Pons-Brooks (71-year orbit) and
13P/Olbers (69-year orbit).
The probability of 12P and 13P orbiting the sun in the same year was calculated below:
1/71 x 1/69 = 1/4899 years
13P/Olbers then takes a shortcut path through Lynx where it currently resides [on June 29th, 2024].
Note: Comets do not typically travel along the ecliptic like the sun, moon, and planets. Each comet orbits on a different elliptical plane with different orbits around the sun.
On October 14th, 2024, 13P/Olbers will have a very rare conjunction with comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) at the right foot of Virgo the Virgin.
C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) has an 80k-year orbit of the sun so mathematically this conjunction has never been seen since the Biblical Creation.
After the two comets meet at the Virgin, 13P/Olbers travels to Ophiucus, formally the ancient eagle bruising the head of the serpent-of-old.
In Closing
What is happening in Iceland?
A volcanic eruption, that has been dormant for 800 years. This eruption coincidentally occurs during the passing of a comet.
What related events occurred in the past?
March 6th, 1815, Dr. Olbers discovers the comet which is named after him, 13P/Olbers.
On April 5th, 1815, the “Largest Eruption in Recorded History” Mount Tambora erupted, killing tens of thousands, dimming the sun, triggering a year without summer, and causing global famines.
In 1956, one of the world’s strongest eruptions of the twentieth century erupted in Russia, the same year 13P/Olbers was last sighted.
What is reaching perihelion June 2024?
Comet 13P/Olbers has a 69-year orbit and has traveled from Taurus to the Virgin to the Great Eagle in 2024.
In October 2024, 13P/Olbers and C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) will meet at the foot of the Virgin, the woman, and then 13P/Olbers passes the ancient eagle bruising the head of the serpent-of-old.

Amazing once more! Connecting the dots through history and then connect it to the one and only true history book, The Bible! The work you’ve put forth and the books and fact based evidence is incredible. If one can’t see the truth behind all of these signs and your works, one can only pray for them and hope one day they wake up before it too late. Thank you for this tireless effort to bring the Way, the Truth to the world..
