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.
Eruption at Etna’s New Southeast Crater, Italy. Videos
Posted by Teo Blašković on July 19, 2019 Watchers.news
Mild eruptive activity which started at the New Southeast Crater (NSEC) on July 14 gradually intensified on July 18, INGV reports.
Frequent ash emissions, producing only minor anomalies in images recorded by the thermal surveillance cameras were reported on July 17.
Things changed overnight with Strombolian explosions at a frequency of one every 1-2 minutes early morning July 18 and every 20 – 30 seconds during late forenoon.
The explosions ejected incandescent pyroclastics to a few tens of meters above the vent, which lies in the eastern part of the NSEC. Ejecta frequently fell onto the upper flanks of the cone.
Furthermore, at 05:48 UTC, an emission of ash occurred at the Northeast Crater, which produced a plume that rapidly dissipated in the atmosphere. The first emission was followed by other, smaller emissions that continued at the time of the production of this report [but ceased sometime thereafter].
Differently from the activity at the NSEC, the ash emissions of the Northeast Crater have not produced any anomalous signal in the images recorded by the thermal surveillance cameras.
As for the volcanic tremor, since 20:30 UTC on July 17, a progressive increase in the mean amplitude of the volcanic tremor has been recorded, which rose from low to medium levels. This has been accompanied by migration and superficialization of the volcanic tremor source toward the NSEC area, as well as by an increase in the frequency of infrasonic events.
