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.
Kim Jong-Un accused of hiding deadly swine fever branded an ‘apocalypse in the making.’ 10 (5+5) million people are in need of food assistance. South Korea has already culled 155,000 pigs at almost 100 (5+5) farms according to Seoul’s agriculture ministry.
NORTH KOREA might be concealing a massive African swine fever outbreak, according to recent reports.

The fever is not known to harm humans, but has been spotted in East Asia in recent months, though North Korea’s capital Pyongyang officially claims the outbreak has passed over North Korea. Three dead wild boars were found in border areas with South Korea, according to officials in Seoul who have deployed helicopters to disinfect the barrier. According to Bloomberg, South Korean politician Lee Hye-hoon said the fever had spread to most areas in North Korea with pigs in the North Pyongan province being “wiped out”.
Ms Lee citied South Korea’s National Intelligence Service.
North Korea’s agriculture ministry said over 20 pigs were killed in May but the virus in a farm near the Chinese border in a report to the World Organisation for Animal Health.
There have been no follow-up reports or coverage in state media.
Around 40 percent of North Koreans, 10 million people are in need of food assistance according to a UN assessment last year.
Many North Korean families raise pigs to earn money to buy rice.
Cho Chunghi fled the state in 2011 after spending a decade working for the government animal disease control program and said: “Pork accounts for about 80% of North Korea’s protein consumption and with global sanctions taking place, it’s going to be hard for the country to find an alternative protein source.
“The virus is extremely destructive as people are now unable to make money through raising pigs, while the country’s economy is restrained.”
He warned that as pigs on individual farms outnumber those on collective ones, it would be almost impossible for Pyongyang to be able to halt the spread, given its resources.
South Korea has already culled 155,000 pigs at almost 100 farms according to Seoul’s agriculture ministry.
Seoul is testing streams and soil near the border for evidence of the virus.
A defected North Korean soldier, Ahn Chan-il said: “The fact that North Korea has reported the outbreak to an international organisation suggests the situation is probably getting out of their hands.
“It’s an apocalypse in the making.”
