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 eight people were killed late October 19, 2019, after big rocks hit a car and two motorcycles following a landslide in Rudraprayag district in Uttarakhand, India.

District magistrate of Rudraprayag Mangesh Ghildiyal confirmed the incident, saying “Eight persons have died after their vehicles were hit by a landslide. All three vehicles plunged into an almost 500 meter (1 640 feet) deep gorge after being hit by boulders.”

Ghildiyal added that three bodies have been recovered, and efforts are on to retrieve the rest of the five bodies.

A team of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and local police rushed to the area upon receiving reports. However, the search and rescue operations were halted on October 19 for safety purposes as boulders were continuously falling from the hill.

“The rescue operation was started on Sunday morning and three bodies were identified by the authorities,” confirmed by an official of the state emergency operation center.

Ghildiyal added that the victims were probably pilgrims as the car which was hit by boulders had a registration number of Delhi.

“Exact details would be ascertained once all the bodies are recovered and identified,” said the district magistrate.
