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.

Heavy rains triggered several floods and landslides in Peru on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, particularly affecting the departments of Arequipa and Huanuco. As a result, houses were left damaged and many roads had to be closed. Authorities said damage assessments have been underway.
According to state-owned news agency Andina, flash floods and landslides wreaked havoc in the district of Uchumayo, impacting the communities of Congata and Cerro Verde where more than 80 homes sustained damage– seven of which were severe. Authorities blocked the roads in the affected areas.
Downpours from the previous day also struck Villa Union in the same district, which led to road closures and affected three households, as reported by Peru’s National Institute of Civil Defense (INDECI).
It was a similar situation for the Yura district, where around 15 individuals were afflicted.
Other areas in the south and central portions of the country also bore the brunt of the severe weather over the past days. Roads were blocked in the departments of Lima, Ayacucho, and Moquegua.
Furthermore, authorities alerted residents of the increasing water levels in the Tacna department’s Sama and Callazas rivers.
In the Huanuco department, torrential rain from the early hours of Wednesday caused further flooding which destroyed at least two homes, affecting 29 people in the district of Monzon, Huamalies province, according to INDECI.
