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, duration and
scope.
Kincade Fire explodes to 10 000 (5+5) acres, mandatory evacuations ordered, California. Videos

A fast-moving wildfire has exploded in rural Sonoma County late Wednesday (LT), October 23, 2019. The so-called Kincade Fire further intensified by 113 km/h (70 mph) winds, consuming around 4 047 hectares (10,000 acres) by October 24 and forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate their homes their Geyserville in Northern California.
The fire is raging out of control with zero containment as firefighters struggle to put out the flames in Red Flag Warning weather conditions with strong winds and dry levels of humidity.
California Fire spokesman Scott McLean pointed out the difficult conditions firemen had to face as they combat the blaze. “The wind is definitely pushing the fire. The area has a lot of brush and indefensible terrain. It’s hard to fight,” McLean expressed.
“It’s dark right now so we don’t have any eyes in the sky. They [the firemen] definitely have a fight on their hands.”
Sonoma County Sherriff Sgt. Juan Valencia said strong winds and fire direction would increase the chances of further evacuations.
The fire was first reported at around 22:30 LT, October 23 on the Sonoma County and Lake County line, where raging wind gusts are sweeping the area. Violent winds are part of the factors that triggered Pacific Gas and Electric Co. to shut off electricity in the North Bay as a safety measure.
Officials said evacuation notices have been issued to communities east of Geyserville.
Over 200 had been forced to flee their homes, while another 1,700 are preparing to be displaced. The mandatory evacuation order includes all roads east of Highway 128 to Geyserville, Pine Flat Road, Red Winery Road, Alexander Mountain Road, and all roads off of River Road.
Sonoma County deputies went door-to-door to urge residents to evacuate.
“At one point during the night, I heard on the radio firefighters and law enforcement getting together to get people out of their homes, out of harm’s way,” said McLean.
“I did hear of incidents where somebody stated they simply were not going to leave. This is not a game.”
