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.

Hurricane “Pablo” – the farthest east an Atlantic named storm has first become a hurricane. Sixth (6) Atlantic Hurricane. Strongest one to form this far north in the Atlantic and this late in the calendar since 1894.

Hurricane “Pablo” became the sixth Atlantic hurricane on Sunday morning, October 27, 2019. It strengthened into a hurricane at 15:00 UTC at 42.8°​ north latitude, making it the strongest one to form this far north in the Atlantic and this late in the calendar since 1894. Pablo broke the record previously held by a storm that first reached farther north in 1971. Meteorologist Philip Klotzbach also confirmed that since Pablo formed at 18.3° west – it broke another record of the farthest east hurricane set by Vince in 2005, which was 18.9°​ west.

Pablo was very near the same latitude as Boston on the U.S. East Coast. According to Tomer Burg, an atmospheric science Ph.D. student at the University of Oklahoma, only one other storm since 1950 has reached hurricane intensity at a farther north latitude, and it was an unnamed hurricane in 1971 which formed at 46° north latitude.

According to Dr. Phil Klotzbach, a tropical scientist at Colorado State University, Pablo is also the farthest east an Atlantic storm has first become a hurricane. Pablo intensified into a hurricane at 18.3° west latitude, despite sea-surface temperatures being cooler than what is usually required for a hurricane to form.

Pablo moved north at 23 km/h (14 mph) with tropical-storm-force winds extending out 97 km (60 miles) from the center. No coastal warnings are in effect.

“It is likely that cold upper-level temperatures have allowed the cyclone to maintain deep convection and lead to the formation of a warm core, while Pablo continued strengthening over cool water temperatures where tropical cyclones normally weaken. Still, the current SSTs underneath Pablo are so far below those usually needed for tropical development, that Pablo must be incredibly efficient at extracting heat from the ocean surface below (as well as the low-level surrounding air, probably),” the National Hurricane Center said.

Pablo is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone on Monday morning, October 28. The storm will also likely lose tropical characteristics by early Tuesday, October 29.
