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.

Tropical Cyclone “Danas” reached South Korea at about 06:00 UTC today and is expected to move over the country on July 20 and 21, 2019, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the region. Record July rainfall was already registered in parts of western Japan.
Although Danas weakened significantly by the time it reached land, heavy rain is expected to continue across the country, especially in its southern regions, KMA said.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) raised its heavy rain emergency warning for the island of Tsushima and the Goto Islands in western Japan to the equivalent of level 5 at (01:05 UTC) 10:05 JST on July 20, requiring immediate action to prevent loss of life amid predictions of record volumes of rainfall in the areas.
The islands, part of Nagasaki Prefecture, are the first places in the country to be subject to the equivalent of a level 5 warning, the highest on a five-level scale that was introduced in May in response to lessons learned from deadly torrential rains in western Japan in July 2018, The Mainichi reports.
Tsushima and Goto received over 100 mm (3.9 inches) of rain in an hour, the paper quoted officials. This is a record-breaking amount for such a short period, officials said.
Shinkamigoto received 344.5 mm (13.5 inches) in the 12-hour period ending at 10:00 JST on July 20 while the city of Goto recorded 312 mm (12.2 inches) in 12 hours ending at 10:10 JST – this record 12-hour July rainfall for both areas.
A road in the Tsuwazaki district in the northern part of Nakadori Island was reportedly cut off by a landslide, leaving over 100 households isolated. In the city of Goto on Fukue Island, a house is said to have been hit by a landslide from the hill behind it. Its residents reportedly evacuated and are safe.
