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.

Heavy rain floods Toronto, Canada

Heavy rain that swept through the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada on July 17, 2019, flooded numerous roads, including major ones, causing traffic delays and leaving some motorists trapped in floodwaters across Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Toronto fire said it responded to 12 water rescues in two hours ending 11:30 LT, with multiple cars trapped in floodwaters at each location.

Serious flooding took place on the Highway 400 ramp to Islington Avenue, CTV News Toronto reports. At least one car had to be hoisted out of high water.

The Toronto and Regional Conservation Authority (TRCA) issued a flood warning Wednesday afternoon after some areas received more than 80 mm (3.1 inches) of rain in less than 6 hours. 

“Due to the heavy rainfall moving across the GTA, rivers within the GTA are experiencing high flows and water levels. Some portions of Black Creek have overtopped the river banks and is causing local flooding issues. All rivers and streams within the GTA should be considered dangerous,” TRCA said in a statement.
