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.

State of natural disaster declared three (3) territories as extreme flooding displaces 50,000 (5) in Congo

The Republic of Congo’s government has declared a state of natural disaster on November 22, 2019, after extreme flooding due to torrential rains displaced at least 50,000 people.

The three (3) territories covered by the declaration are Likouala, La Cuvette, and Plateaux, where floodings have destroyed homes and infrastructure following weeks of heavy rain.

The number of evacuated residents was previously at 40 000 after floods emerged along the Ubangi River in the north. Rains caused the river to burst its banks, sending water rushing across the provinces of Sud-Ubangi and Nord-Ubangi.

In addition to structural damages, as a result, reports confirmed loss of plantations, livestock, and food reserves. Floodings also caused a resurgence of waterborne diseases.

According to secretary-general Victor Ngassi of Makotipoko– over 400 km (248 miles) upstream of Brazzaville– locals in his district are suffering from food scarcity and are awaiting government aid. One fatality was also registered in the area.
