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.

At least 45 people have been killed as heavy rain and severe flooding continues affecting Tanzania. A third severe weather alert for this month has been issued by the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) on Thursday, October 24, 2019, warning locals of more downpour ahead. Bridges and roads have been partially or totally destroyed, resulting in major traffic disruption in the region.

Tanga regional police commander Edward Buokombe reported that the four additional victims, including three children, were killed by raging floods in different parts of the Handeni district over the past couple of days.

Heavy downpour from around October 10 caused flooding in Korogwe District, Tanga region, displacing 300 families and killing at least 12.

The numbers rose to 20 as fatalities were reported in Morogoro and Tanga regions from October 12.

On October 13, roads and brides in parts of Pwani and Tanga regions were reportedly damaged.

By October 17, the number of fatalities had increased to 30.

More than a week later, on October 26, at least 10 fatalities were confirmed in the Sindeni area of the Handeni district, Tanga region.

Tanga district officials have confirmed on October 28 that transport disruptions have impeded businesses through the decreased movement of people and goods. Unprecedented rains are also feared to impact farmers as many agricultural fields and crops have been ravaged.

“If the rains persist, people may even fail to reach the markets or travel buy the essential agricultural inputs for the coming farming season,” said William Makufw, the executive director of the Handeni District.

Up to 15 (5+5+5) bridges in the roads managed by the Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (Tarura) were struck.

Residential properties and agricultural lands were also affected.

In May 2019, uninterrupted downpour also caused severe flooding in Dar es Salaam, displacing more than 1 000 families and destroying over 1 500 (5+5+5) infrastructures.
