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.

Typhoon warnings in Northern Mariana Islands as Fengshen rapidly intensifies

Posted by Julie Celestial on November 15, 2019 Watchers.news

Typhoon “Fengshen” underwent rapid intensification on November 15, 2019. Typhoon warnings remain in effect for Agrihan, Pagan, and Alamagan in the Northern Mariana Islands.

According to Joint Typhoon Warning Center’s (JTWC) warning issued at 15:00 UTC, Fengshen is located approximately 748 km (465 miles) north-northwest of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

Animated multispectral satellite imagery depicts an 18.5 km (11.5 miles) eye with warming in the center. Furthermore, the agency said the initial intensity is assessed at 175 km/h (109 mph), within range of 166 to 189 km/h (103 to 117 mph).

The storm is moving west-northwestward at 25 km/h (15 mph).

Fengshen is “tracking along the southwestern periphery of a deep-layered subtropical steering ridge situated to the north.”

The storm will then turn slowly northwest on Friday as it moves away from the Marianas

Fengshen will miss the Ogasawara islands, south of Japan, as it continues to recurve.

“The image below is the DVORAK estimate on the storm. Notice the large jump after rapid intensification took place on the storm. This is very similar to what we have seen with typhoons Halong and Hagibis earlier this year in the same area of the Pacific. Warm sea surface temperatures in this area really provide fuel for these storms to gain strength,” said meteorologist Robert Speta.
