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.
Officials: Swine flu detected in pigs at fair in Michigan

FOWLERVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Health officials say swine flu has been detected in pigs at a fair in Michigan that wrapped up over the weekend.
The Livingston County Health Department says the infected pigs were detected last week at the Fowlerville Family Fair and pigs were removed from the event.
No human cases were reported at the fair about 65 miles northwest of Detroit.
The update comes after Michigan health officials urged people to take precautions to avoid swine flu at county and local fairs statewide.
Swine influenza is a respiratory disease in pigs that’s caused by type A influenza viruses. Swine flu viruses don’t usually infect humans, but human infections have been reported. Precautions to help avoid swine flu include refraining from eating or drinking in livestock barns or show rings.
