NOTE: WAKE UP PEOPLE, YAHWEH IS TRYING TO GET OUR ATTENTION.  TURN TO HIM WITH HUMBLE HEARTS OF REPENTANCE, YAHSHUA/JESUS DIED FOR YOU SO THAT WE COULD HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE AND BE SAVED FROM THE WRATH TO COME - ROMANS 5.  YAHWEH WILL NOT BE MOCKED!  IN YAHSHUA/JESUS THERE WILL BE NO FEAR BUT HE PROMISED US INWARD PEACE AND ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM, THOSE WHO WHORE, TAKE DRUGS, DO WITCHCRAFT, STEAL WILL BE THROWN INTO OUTER DARKNESS – REVELATIONS 22.

REVELATIONS 22:12-17
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work. 13 I am the Aleph/Alpha and the Tav/Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”[f]
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments,[g] that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But[h] outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. 16 “I, Yahshua/Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A plume of ash from an erupting Icelandic volcano headed for Britain Tuesday, forcing flight cancellations and a change in US President Barack Obama's travel plans.

The eruption of Grimsvoetn has raised concerns over a repeat of last year's travel chaos sparked by the eruption of another Icelandic volcano which led to the biggest shutdown of European airspace since World War II.

"The low-level winds are... blowing strongly towards the UK," said Peitur Arason of the Icelandic Meteorological Office, as British air traffic control operator NATS said volcanic ash was expected to reach Scottish airspace by early Tuesday.

Obama left Ireland for Britain on Monday night, one day ahead of schedule because of fears that the ash cloud could affect travel on Tuesday. The Irish visit was the first stop on a six-day European tour.

The change to Obama's plans came shortly after a Scottish airline announced it was axing a handful of flights early Tuesday.

Glasgow-based regional airline Loganair, which serves mainly Scottish destinations, said it had axed 36 services.

Flagship carrier British Airways, Dutch airline KLM, Irish carrier Aer Lingus and budget airline Easyjet also suspended flights late Monday destined for northern Britain.

Two days into its most powerful eruption in over a century, monitors said ash particles from the Grimsvoetn volcano had been scattered across much of Iceland, forcing the country to close its airspace Sunday.

But winds shifted and began pushing the ash to the south, allowing the North Atlantic island nation to reopen all of its four airports by Monday evening.

However, Hjordis Gudmundsdottir, a spokeswoman for Iceland's airport authority Isavia, pointed out that "with a volcano still erupting one can only imagine the possibilities of the airport being shut again. Any sort of predictions are impossible."

Denmark's autonomous territory Greenland, the only other place where airspace so far has been shut due to the ash, extended the closure of some airspace until at least midnight GMT.

"The main question tomorrow is if the (ash) production will affect Scotland or Northern Ireland," Gunnar Gudmundsson, a geophysicist colleague of Arason, told AFP, pointing out that there was also a danger the ash could get into a jetstream to the south of Iceland and "could head to the North Sea."

European air traffic controllers in Brussels said Monday they did not expect any further airspace closures due to the ash until the end of Tuesday.

A spokeswoman for EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas, however, suggested that the picture was less certain.

"There is at the moment a possibility of volcanic ash affecting the European airspace starting with the northwestern areas like the UK and Ireland possibly today or tomorrow," she said.

On Monday, the plume stood at around 10 kilometres, slightly above the peak of last year's eruption ash column from Eyjafjoell.

"We hope the ash plume will be lower tomorrow.... I think it will decline more and more," Gudmundsson said, while adding that "there are still many open questions."
