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.

Severe winter storm hits Norway with heavy snow, resulting in at least 2 fatalities. Videos.

A severe winter storm hit Norway this week, dumping heavy snow and causing travel and power disruptions across parts of the country. Dozens of people were left stranded on closed roads and at least 2 people lost their lives after an avalanche hit off the country’s north mainland on Thursday, February 20, 2020.

At least 70 people were trapped at European route E134 near Haukelifjell– a mountain area and a mountain pass in southern Norway after about 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 feet) of snow fell on the area. E134 is the most significant transport link between Haugesund and Oslo.

The road was closed for most of the week as well as at several other places across the south and south-central Norway.

Meanwhile, in the Svalbard archipelago which sits over 800 km (500 miles) north of the Norwegian mainland, two people died in an avalanche on the Fridjofbreen glacier on Thursday, February 20.

The victims were identified as German nationals who were part of a tour organized by Russian firm Arctic Travel Company Grumant. 

A helicopter and an avalanche dog were promptly deployed to the remote islands for retrieval operations. However, the helicopter was unable to land because of poor weather conditions.

Two other guides and three tourists were unharmed, officials said.

According to LifeInNorway, the national warning service varsom.no stated that the avalanche risk in the area was currently at ‘moderate’ status. A meteorologist said that there is ‘no surprise’ if an avalanche has occurred based on recent snowfall and windy weather.
