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.

Dozens of birds fall from the sky like ‘a horror movie.’ They were poisoned, experts say

Joshua Bote. USA TODAY•July 12, 2019

Nearly 60 dying birds fell from the sky in Australia, leaving witnesses horrified.

Sarah King, founder of local nonprofit Casper’s Bird Rescue in Adelaide, a city in Southern Australia, was contacted by a member of her staff who discovered corella birds falling out of nearby trees and the sky.

A few were dead on sight. The rest, she told the Guardian, were screaming in pain with blood gushing out of their eyes and beaks. 

“What we were seeing was something out of a horror movie,” she said to the Guardian.

King suspected poisoning of the birds, as the short-billed species of corella — a type of cockatoo — is a known pest in Australia. They are known to kill crops and damage power lines.

The birds weren’t able to fly and were lying on the ground wailing in pain,” King told the BBC. “Some birds were bleeding out of their mouth. That immediately made us think of poisoning, which we’ve seen before.”

The long-billed corella is a protected species, and individuals who kill them could receive jail time and fines.

Veterinarians were forced to euthanize the corella birds that hadn’t already died.

Government officials did not confirm the birds’ cause of death, as the autopsy is pending.
