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 “Maha” triggers heavy rains in coastal Maharashtra and Karnataka, India. 6th named storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season

Tropical Cyclone “Maha” formed over the Laccadive Sea, west of Sri Lanka on October 30, 2019, as the 6th named storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. Maha is already dumping heavy rains over coastal Maharashtra and Karnataka, India, and raising alerts for strong winds and rough seas.

The system is currently moving across Lakshadweep Islands and will continue to head towards the northwest, reemerging in the East Central Arabian Sea and intensifying into a Severe Cyclone by the evening. 

Heavy rain, strong winds and thunderstorms are forecast for western Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra. An orange alert has been issued for heavy rain and thunderstorms for coastal areas.

Rains are expected to be heavier over South Konkan and Goah during this movement. Areas in Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Vengurla, and Harnai may expect moderate rain with isolated heavy spells in the next 48 hours. Strong winds may go with the rains, with gusts up to 70 km/h (43 mph).

Rough seas are also predicted for the next two to three days, prompting fishermen to take safety precautions.

Mumbai rains are set to return around November 1, but showers would be light. Winds from the Bay of Bengal will keep the humidity levels increasing in the interior parts of Maharashtra.

Due to a combination of winds from the opposite directions over the region, a confluence zone will most probably develop. This could result to scattered light to moderate rain in parts of Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Vidarbha until November 1.

Pune city may experience scattered rain and thundershower activities for the next two days. Moderate showers have already hit Madhya Maharashtra and parts of Marathwada during the past 24 hours.

Rare October rains have been lashing into Maharashtra. This unusual weather can be linked to back to back Cyclones. The systems have impacted the state’s weather that Konkan and Goa have seen excess rain by 133% and Madhya Maharashtra by 172% at present.

According to rainfall data from October 1 to 30, Marathwada has also experienced rains and is standing rain surplus at 213%.

Skymet Weather added, “Later, by November 2, wind speed would taper down further. However, sea conditions are expected to remain rough for another 24 hours. Hence, due precautions must be taken. Maha comes just days after Tropical Cyclone “Kyarr” formed in the east-central Arabian Sea on October 25 as the 5th named storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season.
