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.

Nor’easter to pound areas along East Coast with strong winds, raging waves and drenching rain, U.S. Up to 5 inches maximum rainfall.

Strong winds, raging waves, and drenching rain are expected to slam regions along the East Coast beginning this weekend, November 16 to November 17, 2019. Gale warnings are in place along the coastline, from South Carolina to New Jersey, as well as storm watches along the North Carolina coast.

​After spreading downpour eastward across the Deep South into Friday, November 15, the storm will intensify along the Carolina coast while hovering northeastward on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, November 18.

The difference in pressure between the heightening storm and high pressure over the interior Northeast will produce powerful winds, and then a second storm will quickly ride on the nor’easter’s tail. Forecasts said the storm is to take aim farther north and focus on the Northeast by next week.

Areas along the coastal Carolinas to southeastern Virginia would see the worst impacts, while the strongest winds about 40 to 80 km/h (20 to 50 mph) are likely from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the capes of Virginia. Gusts may reach 105 km/h (65 mph).

According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Clay Chaney, the heaviest downpour will be along the coasts of North and South Carolina, where rainfall is expected to be around 51 to 76 mm (2 to 3 inches), with 127 mm (5 inches) being the maximum.

“While the rain will be beneficial in most areas of the Deep South and along the coast, too much can fall in coastal areas too fast and lead to urban style flooding,” Chaney added.

The combination of wind and rain along the affected coastlines will produce temperatures near the freezing point.

Several areas in eastern Massachusetts including Boston could be hit by the storm on Monday before it moves away.

Meanwhile, multiple weak cold fronts will pass through the Great Lakes region into the weekend, which will keep light snow a possibility across the Great Lakes and interior portions of the Northeast.

Behind the front, a strong high pressure associated with deep cold Arctic air will provide another chance of temps 8 – 12 °C (15 – 20 F°) on Saturday, November 16 for extreme northern New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.

Showers over the Pacific Northwest will transition to high elevation snow across portions of Idaho and Montana Friday into Saturday as disturbance crosses the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies into southern Canada. This will bring snow along with a wintry mix to spread into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes by Saturday evening.
