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,

Earthquake swarm in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone, Iceland. Icelandic Met Office’s (IMO) seismic network has detected roughly 500 (5) earthquakes since it started. The seismic swarm is located on the Tjörnes Fracture Zone but an intense swarm occurred there in March this year. In that swarm, over 2,500 (5×5) earthquakes were measured during one week by IMO‘s seismic network.

A seismic swarm began on October 19, 2019, in Öxarfjörður, Tjörnes Fracture Zone, North Iceland.

The swarm is located around 28 km (17 miles) WNW of Kópasker and Icelandic Met Office’s (IMO) seismic network has detected roughly 500 earthquakes since it started, IMO reported 12:48 UTC on October 21.

The three largest earthquakes so far are M3.2 and occurred on October 20 at 11:03, M3.5 at 19:19 and M3.1 at 22:21 UTC. Magnitude of most of the earthquakes is between M1.0 and M2.0.

The IMO said it has received reports of the largest earthquakes being felt in nearby towns.

The seismic swarm is located on the Tjörnes Fracture Zone but an intense swarm occurred there in March this year. In that swarm, over 2,500 earthquakes were measured during one week by IMO‘s seismic network. The largest earthquake in that swarm was M4.2. Then the earthquakes were located closer to Kópasker or around 6 km (3.7 miles) SW of the town.

The offshore Tjörnes Fracture Zone is an oblique transform zone that separates the northern volcanic zone of Iceland from the Kolbeinsey Ridge, part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge north of Iceland. A submarine eruption was reported from 1867 to 1868 at the SE part of the fissure system off the northern coast of Iceland along the Manareyjar Ridge immediately north of Manareyjar Island.
