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.
Another lake dries up in Lacandon Jungle, Mexico. Videos. Lagoons and lakes in jungles are disappearing one by one.

Another lake in the Lacandon Jungle, state of Chiapas, Mexico dried up completely this month. Natives say it also dried up in 1950s.
The Metzabok Lake used to cover 89 hectares (220 acres) before it evaporated this month, leaving nothing but cracked soil.
Residents reportedly took the fish and transferred them to other lakes. The unexplained phenomenon was shared all over social media.
Rivers and lakes in Mexico typically disappear when there are sinkholes or cracks underground. However, a phenomenon began where lagoons and lakes in jungles are disappearing one by one.
Some experts believe that this is due to drought and hotter temperatures in the area.
The indigenous group in the area called the Lacandones depend on the jungle’s waters for food and livelihood means. The area is said to be part of a protected nature reserve called Naha-Metzabok, and the Lacandones had monitored it for years. The indigenous people oppose exploitations such as cattle ranching and slash and burn agriculture.
Furthermore, the regional director for Mexico’s National Commission for Protected Nature Areas, biologist Adrian Mendez Barrera, confirmed that six more lagoons have evaporated outside the nature reserve.
“Rainfall over the last four years has been down by about 30%. On the other hand, we have seen average maximum temperatures rise from 30 to 34 °C (86 to 93 °F). These two factors have a combined effect,” Barrera said. “The lakes are not very deep, and we are seeing a high level of evaporation. I don’t know if the lakes are going to recover, or if this is going to become a more frequent and more widely-seen experience.”
Some of the older Lacandones say the Metzabok lake had dried up once ago, in the 1950s.
