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.

Arctic blast smashes temperature records across Ontario, Canada. Records smashed going as far back as 1905.

An Arctic airmass affecting much of the US has made its way across Canada, with Toronto, Hamilton, and Ottawa airports smashing low temperature records as old as 1905.

Ottawa residents woke up to the coldest November 13 in the city’s history. The temperature pummeled to -14 °C (6.8 °F), breaking the previous record set in 1986 at -11.5 °C (11.3 °F).

Residents are urged to bundle up and protect themselves from the cold temperatures. The Ottawa Public Health reminded people to wear three layers of clothing, which are a wicking layer, a warm layer, and a waterproof layer.

Other notable daily records are the following:

Peterborough Trent University registered -20.3 °C (-4.5 °F), smashing 1983’s -13.5 °C (7.7 °F).

The Lake Superior Provincial Park’s record of -25.6 °C (-14 °F) broke the record set in 2018 which was -16.2 °C (2.84 °F).

In Barrie, the new record of -24.2 °C (11.6 °F) broke 1983’s low temperature record of -11.5 °C (11.3 °F).

North Bay saw -21.3 °C (-6.3 °F). The previous record was -18.7 (-1.6 °F) set in 1986.

Muskoka’s -22.0 °C (-7.6 °F) broke the previous record of -16.5 °C (2.3 °F) set in 1983.

In Egbert, -22.1 °C (-7.8 °F) broke the old record of -9.5 °C (14.9 °F) set in 1997.

Borden’s -24 °C (-11.2 °F) broke the previous record -10.5 °C (13.1 °F) set in 2013.

Brantford recorded -14.9 °C (5.18 °F), breaking the previous record temperature of -10.6 °C (12.9 °F) set in 1905.

During the same period, recorded snowfall is as follows: Lucknow 178 mm (7 inches), Wroexter  170 mm (6.7 inches), Milverton 140 mm (5.5 inches), and Durham 127 mm (5 inches).

“Temperatures recover, at least a little bit, as we round out the workweek in southern Ontario, but the snow isn’t entirely done with the region yet,” The Weather Network meteorologists said.

“A weak clipper system will combine forces with lake-effect bands to tangle with Thursday commutes — both morning and evening, in some cases. We track what’s left of the snow, and when we break out of this deep freeze, below.”
