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.

Tropical Cyclone “Kyarr” continued intensifying over the weekend, eventually reaching 915 hPa and breaking the record as the lowest pressure tropical cyclone in the Arabian Sea on record.
The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) issued alerts for UAE residents regarding Kyarr which is expected to move west-northwest to the center of the Arabian Sea.
NCM reported on October 27 that Kyarr is deepening into Category 4 with wind speed around the center 220 to 230 km/h (137 to 143 mph).
Kyarr is expected to further intensify over the next 24 hours to Category 5 with an estimated winds speed of 255 to 265 km/h (158 to 165 mph).
Residents have been advised to take caution as NCM said there will be rough seas and storm surges in some areas during the period of high tide, starting Monday night, through Tuesday, October 29, and Wednesday, October 30.
The Directorate-General of Meteorology in Oman has already issued an alert for 3 to 5 meters (10 to 16 feet) high waves expected to sweep the shoreline in the following days. The roaring waves are expected to impact the eastern and central regions of the country, including the Dhofar Governorate.
The cyclone is very likely to intensify to a very severe cyclonic storm, said the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). “It is very likely to move west-northwest-wards towards Oman coast during the next 5 days. It is very likely to intensify into a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm during the next six hours and further intensify into an extremely severe cyclonic storm during the subsequent 24 hours.”
IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall in most areas with heavy downpours at isolated places over coastal districts of Karnataka, Goa, and south Konkan during the next 12 hours.
As of 03:00 UTC on October 28, Tropical Cyclone “Kyarr” was about 540 km (336 miles) West-southwest of Mumbai and 1 500 km (932 miles) east of Salalah (Oman), with a maximum sustained surface wind speed of 230 to 240 km/h (143 to 149 mph), gusting to 265 km/h (165 mph).
“The fishermen are also advised not to venture into the east-central Arabian Sea till 28th and into the west-central Arabian Sea from 28th to 31st October 2019,” IMD warned.
“Indian Coast Guard has rescued 19 fishermen and escorted more than 2100 fishing boats to safety at various ports on the west coast in the wake of Cyclone Kyarr.”
“The sea condition is very likely to be very high over the east-central Arabian Sea around the system center during the next six hours and phenomenal thereafter. It is very likely to become phenomenal around the system center over the west-central Arabian Sea from 28th to 31st October.”
