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.

Several people were injured after a destructive tornado hit the city of Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, southern France on October 15, 2019. Damage suggests this was a multiple vortex tornado.
Heavy rain with winds up to 113 km/h (70 mph) started affecting the region late October 14, bringing heavy rain to Ardeche, Lozere and the Alpes-Maritimes.
In just 24 hours, Barnas in Piedmont Cevennes received 136 mm (5.35 inches) of rain. This is its two weeks of average rainfall.
The twister touched down in Arles’ neighborhood of Pont-de-Crau around 04:50 LT on October 15, damaging cars and homes, downing trees and leaving the area without electricity.
About 150 homes were damaged or destroyed, including caravans and mobile homes in a nearby campsite. Some 60 people had to be temporarily relocated, an official at the Departmental operational fire and rescue center said.
Five people were injured, and one of them hospitalized.
According to Paul Marquis of The Weather of 13, the tornado traveled a distance of up to 6 km (3.7 miles) and was between 150 and 200 m (490 – 650 feet) wide, max up to 350 m (1 150 feet) in some places.
It was on the ground for 7 to 9 minutes and had winds of about 180 – 200 km/h (112 – 125 mph), making it an EF-2 category.
“After field investigation, it appears that it could have been multiple vortex tornado,” Marquis said. “That is, there were not 1 but potentially 2 distinct cones at certain times. Indeed, within the main corridor of damage, we have seen differences. Not all this is proven at 100 %, but it’s likely.
