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.

At least 250 000 were left without power after an unprecedented snowstorm hit Manitoba, Canada. Heavy and wet snow began falling on Thursday, October 10 and continued into Friday, October 11. The capital, Winnipeg, was prompted to declare a state of emergency following the destructive event. As of Sunday, October 13, around 32 000 homes and businesses remain without electricity.

While October snow in this region is not completely unheard of, this unusually harsh 3-day snowstorm has arrived considerably earlier than usual, meteorologists said.

At some point, more than 250 000 customers were without power. “In some areas, we have more lines and poles down than standing,” said Manitoba Hydro chief executive officer Jay Grewal. “Our crews are out there working hard, 16 hours a day, doing their best to restore the powe

Premier Brian Pallister has declared a state of emergency on October 13, early Sunday morning LT. According to Grewal, the utility is already sourcing towers from suppliers in Ontario. “So really the challenge is the logistics — to get that equipment to the locations that we need, given the limited access due to weather on the roads.”

“Our government has reached out to Premier Pallister to offer our full support in whatever capacity is needed,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said.

Reports said most of the damage had been fixed by October 13, but only 80% of the affected areas had been assessed. Grewal has not yet confirmed the approximate time it would take for residents to get their power back.

Portage la Praire was one of the worst-hit areas, which still had a widespread power outage on October 13. Several First Nations had started evacuating elderly people into a Red Cross emergency shelter in Winnipeg.

“We’re optimistic as we see the number of houses that are having power restored go up and the number that doesn’t have the power go down,” Pallister stated.
