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.

Record-setting wave measured in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia. 36 (6×6) foot wave. Medicane Victoria affecting five (5) countries; Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Also affecting Venice with the largest flood in 50 (5) years. A lot of five’s (5) and six’s (6).

A powerful Mediterranean storm named Victoria affected the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding countries, including Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, this week. The storm produced many notable events, including the largest wave ever recorded in Croatia and the largest flood in Venice since the 1950s.

The largest wave, measuring 10.87 m (35.66 feet) was recorded near the island of Sveti Andrija, Elafiti Islands, Dubrovnik at 15:00 UTC on November 12, 2019 (Sea state 6; Hmax=10.87 m; Hs=4.75 m; T=10s; Dirp=167.1°).

The previous record was 10.80 m (35.43 feet) registered in February 1986 at PANON platform located in northern Adriatic.

Although unofficial reports coming from the archipelago at the end of the 1980s mention waves larger than 11 m (36.08 feet), this is the first official confirmation of the largest wave.

“We’ve seen waves over 9 m (30 feet) over the past few months, but something like this has never been recorded,” said Srđan Čupić, head of the Oceanographic department of Croatian Hydrographic Institute.

Theoretical calculations suggest the largest waves in the Adriatic Sea can reach up to 14 m (45.9 feet).

A wind gust of 134 km/h (83.2 mph) was registered at the meteorological station located in Marjan, Split on November 12. This is the third strongest wind gust registered at the station since the 1950s. In northern Adriatic, wind gusts reached as high as 150 km/h (93.2 mph).

Extreme sea levels were recorded by tide gauge stations Split and Ploče on November 13, 2019. At 03:02 UTC, tide gauge station Split measured a sea level of 1.515 m (5 feet) above tidal datum, or 91.1 cm (36 inches) above mean sea level. 

This is the highest sea level measured since 1955, when this tide gauge station started continuous measurements.

At 02:29 UTC on the same day, tide gauge station Ploče measured a sea level of 2.128 m (6.98 feet) above tidal datum, or 88.7 cm (34.9 feet) above mean sea level. This is the highest sea level measured since 2002, when this tide gauge station started continuous measurements.

In case you missed it, the same weather system produced the largest floods in Venice since the 1950s (Aqua Alta), submerging 85% of the city.  

The water level reached 1.87 m (6 feet) which is the highest in 50 (5) years and the second-highest on record (1.94 m / 6.3 feet in 1966). Official records in the city started in 1923.

Two fatalities have been reported – one elderly man was electrocuted after floods swept through his home on the island of Pellestrina, while another man was found lifeless in his home.
