Blog note: And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11). Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace comes to a close. This verse from Luke is one of many such prophecies from throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded history for the intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a large number of severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in unusual places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This list can go on. Most studied eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be like a woman having labor pains that occur in greater severity, frequency, size and duration prior to giving birth. End of note.

Tropical Storm “Rosa” formed at 15:00 UTC on September 25, 2018, off the coast of Mexico as the 17th named storm of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season. The system is strengthening and is expected to become a major hurricane on September 27. Swells generated by Rosa will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and the southern Baja California Peninsula later this week into the upcoming weekend.

At 03:00 UTC on September 26 (21:00 MDT, September 25), the center of Tropical Storm “Rosa” was located about 720 km (445 miles) SW of Manzanillo, Mexico. The system had maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h (65 mph) and was moving WNW at 15 km/h (9 mph) with the minimum central pressure of 997 hPa.

This general motion is expected to continue for the next several days. Rapid strengthening is expected and Rosa should be a major hurricane by September 27.

Swells generated by Rosa will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and the southern Baja California Peninsula later this week into the upcoming weekend, NHC said.

These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
