没有天灾的日子近了。“孩子啊，孩子的孩子啊，听着！……这山迟早会爆发。这事发生之前，咕隆声不绝于耳，大地震动，隆隆作响，山顶冒烟，喷出火光，天也颤动起来，号啕怒吼。你们要赶快逃命，要是你们不以为意，要是你们视财如命，就会尝到大意及贪婪的恶果。别犹豫，快撇下家园，逃命吧！” 上述的警告刻在皮蒂奇镇的一个石碑上。1631年，意大利维苏威火山爆发，导致4000人丧命。人们在火山脚下的皮蒂奇镇立碑纪念这件事。《大地震动》的作者安德鲁•鲁滨逊在书中引述了这个碑文。鲁滨逊说：“料想不到，1631年的火山爆发……使维苏威火山成为一个人人熟悉的名字。”他为什么这样说呢？因为人们重建皮蒂奇镇时，发现了赫库兰尼姆和庞培的遗址。这两座古城在公元79年维苏威火山爆发时被掩埋了。小蒲林尼，一个后来成为总督的罗马人，逃过公元79年的火山爆发。他曾写道，火山爆发前地面不寻常地颤动，像在警告将有大事发生。他和他的妈妈，还有其他人由于留意警告，远离灾区而得以生还。死去的亲者有什么希望？痛失亲者可能使我们悲痛欲绝。圣经记载，耶稣的好朋友拉撒路死去时，耶稣也不禁掉下泪来。然而，耶稣很快就施行了一个令人惊讶的神迹──把拉撒路复活过来！（约翰福音11:32-44）耶稣在传道的早期，曾提出一个令人惊讶的应许：“时候要到，所有在纪念墓里的人都要听见［耶稣］的声音，就出来。”（约翰福音5:28,29）他把拉撒路复活过来，使人类有充分理由相信他的应许。愿所有痛失亲者的人，都能从圣经的宝贵希望得到安慰，知道死去的亲者会在地上的乐园里复活过来。（使徒行传24:15）

English translation:

Soon—An End to All Disasters. "Children and children’s children. Hear! . . . Sooner or later this mountain takes fire. But before this happens there are mutterings and roarings and earthquakes. Smoke and flames and lightning are spewed forth, the air trembles and rumbles and howls. Flee so long as you can . . . If you despise it, if goods and chattels are dearer to you than life, it will punish your recklessness and greed. Do not trouble about your hearth and home, but flee without hesitation." THAT warning, from the book Earth Shock, by Andrew Robinson, was inscribed on a memorial tablet at Portici—a town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius in Italy—after the volcano erupted in 1631. The eruption claimed over 4,000 lives. "By a twist of fate," says Robinson, "it was this eruption of 1631 . . . that made Vesuvius a household name." How so? The reconstruction of Portici led to the discovery of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Both cities had been smothered when Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E. Pliny the Younger, a Roman who survived that disaster and later became a governor, wrote of unusual warning tremors. He, his mother, and others acted on the warning and survived. WHAT HOPE FOR OUR DEAD LOVED ONES? WHEN we lose a loved one in death, we may become overwhelmed by grief. The Bible tells us that Jesus wept when his dear friend Lazarus died. Yet, just minutes later Jesus performed an astounding miracle—he raised Lazarus back to life! (John 11:32-44) In doing so, he gave all mankind solid grounds for faith in the amazing promise he had made earlier in his ministry when he said: "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out." (John 5:28, 29) May the precious hope of a resurrection to life on a paradise earth comfort all who have lost loved ones in death.—Acts 24:15.
