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.
Major floods prompt evacuation and rescues in the UK. Videos.

The Environment Agency in England has issued more than 250 warnings and alerts in the early hours of Tuesday, October 1, 2019, following torrential rains across parts of the United Kingdom. Major floods caused damaged roads, travel disruptions, and evacuations.
In the Isle of Man, several residents were stuck in their flood-stricken homes. Areas along the swollen Laxey River were reportedly the worst-hit places. Floods swept away vehicles and prompted road closures. Fire Rescue and Coastguard have been deployed in the affected areas
In England, the Environment Agency has issued a Precautionary Evacuation Notice (PEN) flood warning for the Norfolk Coast. The notice also covers coastal areas of Hunstanton, Heacham, and Snettisham. According to the agency, flood warnings were issued prior to the possible flooding from the combination of high tide and north-westerly winds up to force 6.
Floods and severe rain caused train travel disruptions in some areas in northern England and Powys, Wales. Strong winds and waves damaged properties in St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.
A yellow weather warning has been placed across the entire Wales, which stated “the highest rainfall accumulations are only likely to occur in a few spots where the showers become slow-moving, with 40 – 50 mm (1.6 to 2 inches) possible in only a couple of hours. Lightning and some hail may also prove additional hazards for one or two locations.”
Harsh rain and flood also uprooted trees, and recent reports said that a road in Carmarthenshire has been cleared after a tree was knocked down on the A484.
In Scotland, parts of Aberdeenshire faced floods that damaged bridges and roads including King Edward and Crovie.
However, rains and winds up to 96.5 km/h (60 mph) may slam the UK again by the end of the week, with the remains of Hurricane “Lorenzo” potentially hitting some parts of the British Isles.
Lorenzo was the strongest ever to make it north and east in the Atlantic with winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), but it has since weakened to 169 km/h (105 mph) as is approaches the Azores. Forecasters said the exact path remains unclear.
