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.

Feral hogs invaded his yard several times: How do I kill the 50 (5) feral hogs that run into my yard within 5 (5) mins while my small kids play?” Wild pigs have entered his yard at least three (3) more times.

Insider. August 9, 2019

“One spring day, when the oldest was no more than 5, the kids were playing in our yard. My wife yelled out to me that there were ‘pigs’ in the yard. The first thing I did was go to my safe and get my hunting rifle, a .270 Remington with a (3) three-shell clip plus one in the chamber. I ran out onto my back porch, and there were hogs everywhere — all of them running wild over my two-acre yard. As my wife frantically tried to protect our kids, I picked the safest targets and started shooting. I killed three (3) quickly. This all happened within three (3) to five (5) minutes. My kids were shaken but safe. My wife and I were shocked, to say the least. I collected the dead hogs and took them to a co-worker for processing.”

Neighbors and friends later told him that, “During heavy rains, the water can rise in the low-lying areas and push the herds to higher ground.” They also said that they used AR and AK-style guns to keep the hogs at bay.

McNabb says he has never owned a military-style assault rifle, but “after the experience I went through, it didn’t seem completely unreasonable.”

Over the years, the wild pigs have entered his yard at least three (3) more times he explained. His family has never been hurt during the incidents.

“So, no, I do not have packs of murderous feral hogs in my yard every day,” McNabb said. “But I know people who have farms and timberland that this is an issue for. There are numerous reports by news outlets and governmental agencies documenting this.”

McNabb initially didn’t want to wade into the gun control debate and turned out a slew of interview requests.

“I’m not the avid outdoorsman I was when I was younger, but I do believe in my right to protect my home and my family,” he wrote in his statement, according to Ali. “I’m for common-sense gun laws, including background checks, closing gun-show loopholes, and mental health requirements. I’m willing to look at anything that will help this carnage stop.”

As for the feral hogs, he said he’s going to reach out to the Arkansas Feral Hog Eradication Task Force to work on finding a solution to the issue.
