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.

Massive swarms of locusts invade Saudi Arabia. Unbelievable videos. Crops ravaged in Six (6) Saudi areas. in Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, Al-Leith, Qunfodah, and Makkah

Vast swarms of locusts are invading agricultural areas across Saudi Arabia after countries in the Horn of Africa struggled with the biggest outbreak in decades.

The swarm was confirmed to be from East Africa, according to Mohamad Al-Shammrani, director of combating locusts at the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture, and Water.

The swarms were reported in four Saudi regions namely Riyadh, Qassim, Hail, and the Eastern Province. Authorities in the country said they have doubled the daily aerial sprayings to contain the insects. 

Crops that were ravaged by locusts in Jazan, Asir, Al-Baha, Al-Leith, Qunfodah, and Makkah are being fought by specialized teams. The environmental conditions in these regions allowed the insects to grow and lay eggs.

“We’ve combated locusts on a daily basis from the beginning of January to the end. We exterminated the first generation of the swarms, which attacked Jazan all the way to the Makkah region,” said Al-Shammrani.

“We targeted two swarms of locusts in Qunfodah and Al-Leith.”

Wind movement also heavily influenced where locusts end up. This is what helped huge swarms spread across the regions of Al-Qassim, Hail, and the Eastern Province. Combat teams said they have been working persistently to track the movement of swarms and conduct aerial sprayings.

“We use spraying aircraft in rugged areas and terrain. All the insecticides are approved by the Food and Agriculture Organization,” said Al-Shammrani.

Locusts have the tendency to multiply during rainy weather, especially in areas high in humidity. Dry conditions followed by wet conditions– drought followed by heavy rains, for instance– also create breeding grounds for locusts, which is what exactly happened to African countries affected by the outbreak.
