Why does my friend think that every natural disaster has to do with end time...

[mizzshopper]

...prophecy? when the recent volcano hit, she said "you'd better watch out and get ready. it's the end times".

It's called misinterpreting the book of Revelation. The whole "Left Behind" craziness created this frenzy. If you read Revelation as a letter to the people and understand apocalyptic Jewish literature, it will mean something different than what your friend is saying. Here's the best way to answer your friend "We're one day closer today than we were yesterday to the end times."

Because she doesn't understand physics, geology and meteorology.

It is natural to fill gaps in our understanding with a catch-all solution. It may be natural, but that doesn't make it right.

She's right we are living in end times. Don't be afraid to acknowledge it.

Your friend is just a very old and very evolved soul, who knows things and is sensitive to things that others can't know.

TRUST her she is right.

If you read the book of Revelations, you'll see that an increase in such disasters is a sign of the end times. However, the whole Mayan calender thing is superstitious and arrogant, in that the Bible also says that NO man knows the exact hour, day, or year the end will come.
