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 pains, growing in intensity, frequency, size and duration.

A different storm is lashing the other side of the US. It has swept away 2 people. Videos.

As residents in the lower Mississippi Valley fret over the possibility of another hurricane, a separate storm system is drenching the Northeast and has killed two people.

High waters swept away a car in Pennsylvania, killing a pregnant woman and her 8-year-old son, Douglass Township Police Chief John Dzurek told CNN affiliate WFMZ. The two were swept down the Manatawny Creek for about half a mile.

“They were not able to get out and water was starting to come into the vehicles,” he said.

The woman in the car was on the phone with 911 operators until fire rescue arrived and then she remained in contact with rescuers for about 30 to 45 minutes, as they tried to reach her car in the rising water, according to the chief.

Authorities made multiple attempts to call the woman back, but the call went to voicemail.

The car was found around 9:45 p.m. down a steep embankment — a little over five hours after crews were dispatched to the area.

In surrounding areas, rescue crews received multiple calls about vehicles stuck in the high waters, the affiliate reported.

Flash flood warnings across the Northeast

The line of storms that marched through Ohio, West Virginia and drenched Pennsylvania will continue into the Northeast Friday morning, CNN Meteorologist Robert Shackelford said.

The storms unleashed rain over Maine and New Hampshire late Thursday, in some cases up to an inch and a half, the National Weather Service said.

Showers and thunderstorms will pour over the region throughout the night and flash flooding is likely, according to the service.

“Given the anomalous pool of moisture over the region and the intense rainfall rates, some pockets of flash flooding will be possible,” the service said.
