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.

Historic early-season snowstorm threatens Northern Rockies, USA

An early-season snowstorm which could bring record-breaking impacts is threatening portions of the Northern Rockies. Such storm has not occurred in the area since 1934, the National Weather Service (NWS) said. Winter Storm Watches have been issued across portions of northwestern Montana. The heaviest snow and most extreme conditions are forecast to occur on Saturday and Sunday, September 28 and 29, 2019.

“The first day of fall might have been a few days ago, but the Northern Rockies are skipping straight into winter,” NWS forecaster Snell said. 

Up to 102 cm (40 inches) of snow could hit some mountain ranges of northwestern Montana, with gusts potentially up to 64.37 km/h (40 mph). The strong storm may also result in flight cancelations.

In some areas, heavy snow may reach up to 91 m (3 feet), bringing early winter to parts of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming from Friday through Sunday.

According to weather reports, elevated lands may receive 30 to 60 cm (1 to 2 feet) of snow.

“This early-season winter storm and/or blizzard has the potential to set a new benchmark for snow accumulations, cold temperatures and resulting impacts for parts of the Northern Rockies and the Rocky Mountain Front,” NWS said.

The agency also stated that extreme impacts are probable, including to the power infrastructure with widespread disruptions, agricultural, recreation, and travel.

“Widespread significant tree damage is possible with the expected heavy, wet snow, and strong winds.”

Beginning September 26, a low pressure system will come from Canada that could bring rainfalls into September 27.

Gusts up to 130 km/h (80 mph) may be experienced along the Rocky Mountain Front, triggering high wind warnings in the western Montana area.

The winds from the western part are predicted to be strong enough to destroy trees and power towers. The cause of the cold weather would be the jet stream, which will head from western Canada into the Northwest area later this week.

NWS compared this potential snowstorm to the record in 1934, which dropped over 30 cm (1 foot) of heavy snow in Cut Bank and Great Falls, Montana, and more than 15 cm (6 inches) in Helena. Residents are prompted to expect warnings in the coming days.
