Seven trumpets - 2nd

---------------

Revelation 8 : 8 - 9

8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze,
was thrown into the sea.  A third of the sea turned into blood,
9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

-----------------

This is an interpretation of a metaphorical and/or literal passage. This is NOT a certainty, but rather a "best analysis" based on the author's
knowledge and experience. The analysis points to a mega-tsunami generated from the collapse of an island volcano in the Atlantic Ocean.

The CANary Islands

As a metaphor -  the Canary Islands off Africa are aptly named and sited.

There have been two eruptions on the island this century alone -- in 1949 and 1971.
Other eruptions in recent history on La Palma occurred in 1470, 1585, 1646, 1677 and 1712.  (SEVEN! -- since Spanish occupation)

1/3 Sea Calculation

The 1/3 reference is an important clue as to which "sea" may be referenced. This calculation verifies the Bible passage.

Ocean (Encyclopedia of Earth) - nice table
Ocean Basins (Water Encyclopedia) - 5 basins - Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (2000), Arctic

Major subdivisions of the oceans (Brittancia) - more detailed table
The Atlantic exhibits the largest change in surface area and volume when its marginal seas are subtracted.
This indicates that the Atlantic has the greatest area of bordering seas, many of which are shallow.
Marginal seas: the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Caribbean Sea, Davis Strait, Denmark Strait, part of the Drake Passage,
Gulf of Mexico, Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and almost all of the Scotia Sea.

29.3% is approximately equivalent to 1/3 (33%) of all the seas.
1/3 of the world's oceans ~ 120,366,000 sq km

The calculation comes closest to 1/3 by using the Atlantic Ocean area measurement with marginal seas included.
None of the other oceans work with area measurements. None of the volume measurements work.
It would make sense to include the marginal seas as shown by the simulation video above.
The Pacific Ocean is too large, the Indian Ocean is too small.

Less tree cover - less plants to soak up water from rainfall ---> higher probability of landslide

Alternatives?

8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze,
was thrown into the sea.  A third of the sea turned into blood,
9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Being a metaphor, the key phrases MOUNTAIN, SEA, SHIPs, and LIVING CREATURES could mean almost anything.
It could also refer to the global economy collapse and jobs (ships? living creatures?). This analysis is based on a more literal read.

One possibility is the collapse of the US (Not Global) auto industry. Significant because of the history of the BIG THREE automakers.
Does not seem as a probable translation, but just an example of how difficult it is to interpret Revelation metaphors.

cars (World o Meters) - global car sales still on the upswing, so not relevant.

U.S. Auto Sales Dropped 2.6% in 2006 (Auto Channel) - nice detail  --- 2008 U.S. Auto Sales Are Worst Since 1992 (Auto Observer)

2005 - 17 --> 2006 - 16.5 --> 2007 - 16.1 --> 2008 - 13.2 --> 2009 - 10 - 10.5
From 16.5 in 2006 to 10.5 in 2009 is more than 1/3, but it is close (11 million would be 1/3 reduction from 16.5)

Could the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 have been the 2nd trumpet?

Indian_Ocean - History (Wiki)

Indian Ocean Tsunami - Part 1 and Part 2

An uplift of the ocean floor due to an earthquake could satisfy the phrase -- "like a huge mountain, all ablaze."
While the Indian ocean is in no way 1/3 of the entire ocean, perhaps it means 1/3 of the Indian Ocean coastlines / zones
saw blood / deaths. Many ships were destroyed, but it is unclear if this is ~1/3 of all ships. While reports seem to indicate that most
animals / people in and on the water did NOT die, perhaps living creatures in the water refers to coral reefs? OR
 While many people that lived near the water died or were injured, the deaths could be metaphorical too as in terms of grief.
At the moment there is insufficient data to support or refute this outright.
Nevertheless, learning from the Indian Ocean Tsunami effects may be beneficial.

This theory would also have to assume the following:
- That Bible Revelation MOOvie events occur outside the 7 year period - in the past - 2004
- That SEA refers to a singular ocean basin - Indian - and NOT the entire SEA / OCEAN.
- That the metaphorical analysis of Canary Islands and number of eruptions / islands is just meaningless coincidence.

Red Tide and Dead Zones?

It is also assumed for either tsunami that 1/3 of the SEA does NOT literally turn blood red.
The only thing that could  perhaps satisfy that literally is perhaps massive red tide - more analysis would be required.
Red tide does suffocates sea life and "destroy ships" by preventing fishing.
Living Creatures = humans...other animals are just BEing themselves. We are living. They are BEing. One translation.

The biggest problem with red tide is the "huge mountain, all ablaze" passage. Perhaps this refers to the
"Mountain of fertilizer runoff" that causes red tide / algal blooms / dead zones.

While one of the largest dead zones is in the Gulf of Mexico, it does not equal anywhere near 1/3 of the area
perhaps the passage means 1/3 of all seas - as in 1/3 of ALL THE NAMED SEAS. Not surface area.
Again, more detailed analysis would be required.
