Is a "Super-Volcano" Brewing Beneath Mt. St. Helens?

Jesus said, "And when the south wind blows, you say, 'It's going to be hot,' and it is...You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?" - Luke 12:55-57. If volcanic activity is a spiritual type of the Church in the northwest, as many say, what does this portend? A really great revival, I hope!
(Mt. St. Helens, Washington)?As a northwest resident and someone who has heard numerous prophecies about volcanoes, the "ring of fire," and their spiritual application to the Church in this area, I found this report from New Scientist quite interesting.
Graham Hill of GNS Science institute in Wellington, New Zealand speculates that a super-volcano may be "brewing" beneath Mt. St. Helens of a magnitude similar to that of the one below Yellowstone National Park, the biggest magna chamber ever discovered. (Image: MAI/Rex Features)
According to the report, Hill's megnetotelluric sensors around Mt. St. Helens revealed a column of conductive material that extends downward from the volcano and then appears to connect to a much bigger zone of conductive material. This larger zone was found to extend all the way to beneath Mount Rainier 70 kilometers to the northeast, and Mount Adams 50 kilometers to the east.
Gary Egbert of Oregon State University in Corvallis, a magnetotellurics specialist but not a member of Hill's team, is reportedly cautious about the idea of a nascent super-volcano where Mount St Helens sits.
"It seems likely that there's some partial melt down there," given that it is a volcanic area, he says. "But part of the conductivity is probably just water."
