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.

Such severe storms are unusual in Greece, where summers are usually hot and dry. Floods following the latest storm damaged roads near the cities of Nafpaktos and Patra, closing a major route for a few hours. A fire service official said: “Homes and shops are flooded near the city of Nafpaktos. There are damages to homes, shops and cars.”

No injuries or missing persons have been reported.

The mass evacuation comes after seven people, including six tourists, were killed and more than 100 others injured on Thursday when an overnight storm lashed northern Greece.

Over 100 people were injured in the violent tempest which whipped through the Halkidiki peninsula bearing 60mph winds.

Two elderly Czech tourists were killed when strong winds and water overturned their travel trailer, police said.

A woman and an eight-year-old boy from Romania were killed when a roof collapsed on a restaurant in the beach resort of Nea Plagia. And a man and a young boy, both Russians, died when a tree fell near their hotel in the seaside town of Potidea, authorities said.

Witnesses said the storm had come and gone in a matter of minutes.

Winds of over 60 mph were reported on the Halkidiki peninsula, popular with tourists in the summer.

Theodoros Karakostas, a professor of metereology and climatology at Aristotelion University, told the state Athens News Agency the storm was a “supercell.

He said: “It’s a rare phenomenon.” 

Supercells are the least common kind of thunderstorm, but the most violent.

Nefeli Minovgidou, a Greek tourist, described the chaotic scenes

She said: “Chairs were flying everywhere, trees were falling. Everyone inside was screaming, it was chaos.” 

Streets in the area were dotted with uprooted pine trees and overturned motorcycles. Wooden rooftops were torn off and dumped on beaches.
