Great Faith Can Trigger Volcanos into Eruption
One of the most difficult part to believe in the Gospels or the words of Christ Jesus is His declaration that one can move even a mountain if he has enough faith:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11)
We may believe that Christ Jesus performed miracles such as turning water into wine, but it is very difficult to believe that we can move a mountain by simply telling the mountain to move. However, it must be true as Christ Jesus never lied.
According to Swedenborg, good spirits in Heaven or the spirit world have power to destroy a big mountain in the spirit world, and thus evil spirits in the hells cannot invade Heaven. Therefore, it can be assumed that Christ Jesus referred to this power of good spirits in the spirit world. And, more than that, Christ Jesus must have implied that human beings living in this world or the human world can have such power if only they have enough faith needed to be a kind of good spirits. Therefore, this word of Christ Jesus must be understood from this spiritual point of view.
In the era of Moses, Jewish people were guided by some flames of a volcano through the deserts after exit from Egypt till they reached Palestine. Some faithful man among them or Moses must have moved the volcano so that it erupted.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, when the Jewish-Roman War had already ended with fall of the temple in Jerusalem and Christians were being persecuted in Rome, must have been caused by prayer of some early Christians in Rome who remembered the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus.
Moving a mountain can be realized when a volcano erupts. As another example, 40 years from death of Swedenborg, 20 years after the French Revolution, 55 years before the Civil War in the U.S., the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora occurred as the largest volcanic eruption in the human history. Some Christians in Europe and the U.S. must have remembered the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus, because books of Swedenborg came to be widely known, Europeans came to ask the God for peace, and Lincoln was a believer of Swedenborg.
In January 2022, an underground volcano in Tonga in South Pacific Ocean has erupted in the middle of the corona-pandemic. Some Christians in the countries facing the Pacific Ocean must remember the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus.
Indeed, we should note that we can move a mountain and cause other supernatural events with enough faith in Christ Jesus and the God, because if we have strong faith, we can be given the power of good spirits in the spirit world who have supernatural power.
Therefore, we might as well assume that some faithful Christians have remembered the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus when a great natural event happens. In deed, three years before Pope Benedictus XVI resigned from office, Mt. Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland erupted, causing enormous disruption to air travel across northern and western Europe in 2010.
In this context, with great faith in Christ Jesus and the God, we may be given power to realize whatever we wish like a holy spirit, an angel, or a good spirit in Heaven or the spirit world can. And, believing in this theological theory should be our faith. It must also mean that a man in this world with greater faith can become a kind of spirit in the spirt world (like Christ Jesus as a man of 2000 years ago).

Romans 1, King James Version
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
