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.

Typhoon “Tapah” left more than 50 people injured in Japan as it moved through the Sea of Japan on Monday, September 23, 2019.

The typhoon, which is the 17th to hit the nation this year, traversed over the sea through the morning of September 23. The victims were mostly in the regions of Okinawa and Kyushu, said the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

Storm-stricken residents also suffered power outages on the island of Kyushu.

According to Kyushu Electric Power Co., more than 30 000 households experienced blackouts.

Kyushu Railway Co. noted some traffic disruption. Around 412 domestic flights were also canceled as of 13:00 LT on September 22.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency said the storm moved north-east at 30 km/h (18.6 mph) with maximum winds of 162 km/h (100.6 mph).

Meanwhile, humid air is occurring over western and eastern Japan which may possibly spawn heavy rains to some parts of the country.

The typhoon passed near Nagasaki in southern Japan on Sunday afternoon, September 22, affecting other regions in southern Japan including Okinawa.

Tapah made landfall in southwestern Japan on Sunday, September 22, with heavy rains and gusts up to 162 km/h (100 mph).

It follows on the trail of Typhoon “Faxai” which pummelled Tokyo in early September, leaving huge agricultural damage and up to 1 million homes without power.
