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 Storm “Lorena” forecast to drop heavy rain over Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco, Mexico
Posted by Teo Blašković on September 18, 2019. Watchers.news
Tropical Storm “Lorena” is forecast to cause heavy rain over portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco during the next few days. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Lora is forecast to strengthen, as it moves NW, passing very close to the coast of Jalisco and Colima.
Lorena formed September 17 as the 14th named storm of the 2019 Pacific hurricane season.
A Hurricane Watch is in effect for Punta San Telmo to Cabo Corrientes, Mexico. Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes.
At 12:00 UTC on September 18, Lorena’s center was located about 225 km (140 miles) SW of Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) and was moving NW at 22 km/h (14 mph). Its minimum central pressure was 1 000 hPa. A slower northwestward motion is expected during the next couple of days.
On the forecast track, Lorena is expected to move near or over the southwestern coast of Mexico Thursday and Thursday night, September 18.
Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Lorena is expected to become a hurricane on Friday as it approaches the coast of Mexico.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 km (90 miles) from the center.
Tropical storm conditions are expected within the southern portion of the warning area later today or tonight, and then are expected to spread northward along the coast through Thursday night. Hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area by early Thursday.
Lorena is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 125 – 250 mm (5 to 10 inches) with maximum amounts of 380 mm (15 inches) along the coastal sections of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoaca, Colima and Jalisco.
This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
Swells generated by Lorena will affect portions of the southwest coast of Mexico during the next few days.
These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
