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.

Warning issued over Tropical Cyclone Kyarr. Category 4 cyclone gaining strength in Arabian Sea. Expected to become category Five (5) in the next 24 hours. Estimated wind speeds of 255km/h to 265km/h

UAE residents have been warned to be on their guard as Tropical Cyclone Kyarr on the Arabian Sea gains strength.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) alerted UAE residents on Sunday afternoon to the potential dangers from Kyarr, which is gaining strength into a category 4 cyclone and is currently at latitude 17.2 degrees north and longitude 67.6 degrees east of the Arabian Sea.

The NCM said the cyclone is expected to move northwest to the centre of the Arabian Sea.

According to reports, Kyarr will intensify further over the next 24 hours to a category 5 cyclone, with estimated wind speeds of 255km/h to 265km/h.

Should it remain on its current course, Kyarr is expected to move towards the Arabian Peninsula later this week, making landfall in either Oman or Yemen.

A tweet from the Directorate General of Meteorology in Oman said: “Rough sea with max. wave height (3-5m) is expected to continue along coasts of South Al Sharqiya, Al Wusta and Dhofar with chances of sea water inundation over low level coastal areas. And Mod/Rough (2-3m) over Oman sea coasts.”
