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.

Some coronavirus patients in Wuhan are being treated in their cars because there are ‘too many sick people’ in hospitals

Sophia Ankel Business Insider•February 5, 2020

As the coronavirus continues to spread around Wuhan and hospital admissions are increasing, many people are forced to fend for themselves — with some even sitting outside hospitals on IV drips.

In a photo tweeted by New York Times journalist Amy Qin, patients can be seen sitting on the pavement outside a Wuhan hospital getting IV drips while sitting on ledges and in their cars.

They reportedly said they did not want to be inside the hospital because there were “too many sick people.”

The picture comes amid reports of staff shortage in hospitals, extremely long queues, and short supplies of hazmat suits and surgical masks.

Some people have described getting a coronavirus test-kit like “winning the lottery.”

Medical staff in Wuhan are treating so many people at the same time that they have reportedly even begun wearing diapers because they don’t have time to use the bathroom.

Some have told AFP that they fear people will infect each other while waiting to get help.

In response, Wuhan is panic-building two hospitals to accommodate the rising number of infected patients.

The first medical facility, Huoshenshan Hospital, was completed on Sunday and has been treating patients since Tuesday.

The second hospital, Leishenshan, is due to be completed on Thursday, according to CGTN. A live feed of its construction can be found on YouTube.

The city is also using hotels, sports centers, exhibition spaces, and other local venues as makeshift hospitals that can keep up to 10,000 patients.
