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.

16 hours of heavy snow fell in the Kashmir Valley on Thursday, November 7, 2019. The incessant snowfall has killed seven people, caused traffic disruption in both land and air, interrupted electricity across the valley, and triggered avalanches in several areas.

This season’s first heavy snowfall began on Wednesday night, November 6, and continued through the following day, turning the narrow tracks on the hill slopes slippery.

Complete traffic disruption was reported on all major highways connecting Kashmir Valley to the rest of India, including the Srinagar-Jammy Highway, the Srinagar-Jammu Highway, the Srinagar-Poonch Highway, and the Srinagar-Kargil Highway. Around 2 000 vehicles were left stuck on the road.

Flights were unable to land nor take off from the Srinagar airport due to the accumulation of snow on the field and low visibility.

The State capital recorded more than (1 foot) of snowfall, while the upper reaches of Kupwara, Shopian, Ganderbal, and Baramulla saw (3 to 4 feet) of snowfall.

Two army porters were swept by snow avalanches during the night, said an official. The bodies were recovered on Thursday and were identified as Mohammed Isaac and Manzoor Khan, both residents of Kupwara’s Zihama village.

Furthermore, two other soldiers were killed in a vehicular accident in Kupwara’s Langate area due to poor visibility.

In the same district, around 90 homes have been damaged due to snowfall, according to Deputy Commissioner Anshul Garg.

One of the victims named Manzoor Ahmed, an employee of the Power Development Department, died after falling from an electric pole.

In Srinagar city, a civilian was killed after being hit by a tree branch.

In Pulwama city, another victim died when he was clearing snow from a roof and slipped.

The extreme weather has also inflicted damage to electricity lines, resulting in total electricity outage across the valley.

“Snow has damaged the electric power infrastructure in the valley. Power lines have been downed by tree branches. We would require 3-4 hours after snow stops to restore the power supply. We are hopeful to start the restoration in a phased manner from Friday forenoon,” said Chief Engineer Qazi Hafhmat of the Power Development Department.
