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.
Are dead bodies attracting biblical swarms of crows in China?
By Jared Harris, The Western Journal Published February 23, 2020 at 9:03pm
Video making its way out of China shows massive numbers of crows circling infected cities in the mainland.
Coupled with reports of dead bodies and local folklore about the bird, their appearance is causing a sense of dread for those who see the hordes of feathered beasts.
Many of the videos popping up recently were recorded near the city of Wuhan, where the deadly COVID-19 virus first originated months ago.
Although the clips are taken from all around Hubei province, they all show an unsettling amount of crows ominously wheeling overhead.
One video reportedly from Hanchuan, a city next to Wuhan, shows an entire number of crows darkening the sky as they fly in all directions. Nearby trees can be seen crowded with the black birds.
Another video supposedly taken from nearby Jingzhou shows a large group of the birds circling overhead as if waiting for a feast.
According to The Epoch Times, one answer for the odd phenomenon was hinted at on Chinese social media.
“The crow is an eater of carrion. The elderly say that crows seem to anticipate death because they can smell it, even before a person dies,” the user wrote. “In other words, they can smell the odor of a dying person; but we humans cannot. They will then circle around this person waiting for him to die.
“That is why in Chinese culture crows are considered inauspicious and are always linked with death.”
While the official death toll from COVID-19 now hovers around 2,000, there are indications that the Chinese government has not been forthright about the true impact of the virus.
The infected totals presented by the communist regime have been doubted from the beginning, with many saying the numbers presented by the Chinese were at least five times less than what they should statistically be.
If the infected totals are greatly under-reported, that means the death tolls likely are as well.
Judging by a new acquisition by the Wuhan government, this could be the case. According to New Tang Dynasty Television, the city now has mobile cremation units.
These trailer-like structures are able to incinerate vast amounts of biological waste, including corpses.
While it’s unclear if this is the true purpose of the mobile purging units, their presence, as well as that of the crows, indicates that China may be keeping the worst parts of the outbreak a closely guarded secret.
