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.

Bad weather is blamed for a pileup in Denver involving more than 50 vehicles

A pileup involving more than 50 vehicles forced the closure of a road in Denver on Thursday night, police said.

“Officers are on-scene with a large-scale weather-related, multivehicle crash,” the Denver Police Department tweeted. The crash occurred on eastbound 6th Ave. at the Interstate 25 interchange.

There were injuries reported but none were life-threatening, police said. They did not provide details on the number of people injured or the nature of the injuries.

The cause of the crash was unclear. Police urged drivers to avoid the area as they worked to clear the scene.

Denver police asked drivers to take alternate routes as crews cleared the road.

Temperatures in Denver hovered around 28 degrees overnight with light snow and a foggy mist.

“Heavy snow and hazardous travel conditions will persist over portions of the central and southern Rockies into Friday before diminishing,” the National Weather Service said.
