Blog note. Jesus indicated that ‘fearful sights’ (various natural disasters) would occur leading up to the time known as the Tribulation and Great Tribulation (a combined seven year period of great destruction on earth). Although these types of things have occurred in the past for centuries and thousands of years, they could be identified as the ‘season of the times’ due to the ferociousness of these events. They would be occurring in greater intensity, severity, frequency, size, duration, scope … just like the pains that a woman experiences in labor the farther along she is in the labor process. We are in the ‘season of the times’ that comes just before the seven (7) year Tribulation/Great Tribulation period
… 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).
… And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25)
… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken; (Luke 21:26)
… This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1)
Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace comes to a close. These verses are several 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.

An unusually strong storm for this time of year is battering parts of Spain, France and Benelux on June 7, 2019, with wind gusts up to 150 km/h (93 mph). The storm was named Miguel on June 5 by the Spanish Met Agency. This is the 23rd named storm of the 2018/19 European windstorm season.

Homes were damaged, trees uprooted, coastal resorts deserted and public transport disrupted as Miguel lashed northern Span and continued toward the French coast.

Almost entire France is under some severe weather warning, with 10 departments on orange alert.

Flooding is likely as well as power outages, meteorologists warned.

Enhanced risk has been issued for N France, Benelux into NW Germany with threat for severe winds, torrential rainfall, large hail and some tornado threat. A severe line of storms will develop along the front and rapidly push across the risk area from SW to NE direction in the afternoon hours. Strong LL shear / helicity ahead of the front could support tornadic storms as well. Damaging winds are possible. Enhanced risk has also been issued for W France into the Bay of Biscay and NW Spain with threat for severe to extremely severe winds, locally in excess of 130 km/h (80 mph), Severe Weather Meteorologists said.

According to the BBC, Miguel has already ravaged parts of the Netherlands, downing a tree on a building which turned out to be one of the biggest cocaine labs ever discovered in the country.
