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.

Dorian leaves 500 000 without power after making landfall over Nova Scotia, Canada. What do we know about the number Five (5)?

The center of once very powerful Category 5 Hurricane – Post-Tropical Cyclone “Dorian” made its 5th landfall near Sambro Creek, Nova Scotia, Canada at 22:15 UTC on September 7, 2019, with maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph) and estimated central pressure of 958 hPa. The last hurricane to make landfall there was Earl in 2010.

Dorian downed power lines and uprooted trees, leaving almost 400 000 customers in Nova Scotia, 55 000 in New Brunswick and 50 000 in Prince Edward Island without power.

The government ordered over 700 military personnel to help restore essential services and ensure public welfare, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale said.

There were no reports of injuries, but material damage is considerable, The Weather Network reported.

First responders pulled 31 people and five dogs from trailers rapidly filling with water at a campground on P.E.I.’s North Shore early Sunday morning, September 8, after a storm surge flooded the trailers.

The campground’s owner, Matthew Wedge, said he doesn’t know where to start with clearing the wreckage caused by Dorian’s howling winds and heavy rains.

Dorian is the strongest-ever hurricane to hit the Bahamas islands. It left around 70 000 people homeless, 44 confirmed casualties and hundreds missing. However, the number of casualties seems to be much much higher, probably in thousands:

The worst-hit areas were Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands. Residential properties and commercial areas were destroyed with torn roofs, fallen power towers, and collapsed establishments scattered.
