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.

Rare, back to back fireballs light up Arizona sky and southwest U.S., over five (5) states. Videos. Over 60 (6) reports of both fireballs. “It was one of a kind. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

A brilliant fireball streaked across the skies of Arizona at 12:32 UTC (05:32 LT) on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, and was also spotted in several southwest U.S. states. The American Meteor Society (AMS) received 64 reports about the meteor.

In a rare event, another fireball was seen across the state just within the day, at 20:14 LT or at 03:14 UTC on Thursday, February 27, with AMS acquiring 66 reports from various states in the same region.

Witnesses from different cities in Arizona-– as far north as Flagstaff and as far south as Chandler in Phoenix– reported seeing the fireball moving from northwest to southeast on Wednesday. The meteor reportedly ended its flight somewhere over the Mazatzal Peak.

Residents in neighboring states were also able to observe the fireball, particularly those in California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah.

“This does appear to be a bright meteor,” said Robert Lunsford with the AMS.

An onlooker from Chandler noted that it was “one of the most incredible and terrifying experiences” he has ever had, while a watcher from Murrieta, California wrote that it was “probably the best meteorite/fireball” he has ever seen.

“It was one of a kind. I’ve never seen anything like it,” described an eyewitness from Kingman.

In the evening, another fireball illuminated the Arizona sky. This time, Colorado residents reported spotting the fireball as well, while New Mexico and Utah also saw the back to back phenomenon.

“We just saw it for a second. [It was] very close to [the] horizon,” said one observer from Center town, Colorado.

“This was the brightest event I have ever seen. It lit up a good part of Monument Valley,” another witness from Utah remarked.

“Coincidentally, this appeared as an airplane was flying what was the same direction when I first saw it. I thought something came off the plane,” wrote one person from Carlsbad, New Mexico.

“[I] moved to Arizona for the skies activity. I just find it beautiful,” stated a viewer from Payson

According to AMS operations manager Mike Hankey, for one area geographically, to get fireballs back to back is rare. On the other hand, February tends to be a more active time for meteors.

AMS also noted in its Meteor Activity Outlook page that this month is the best time to view meteor activity as the moon will not be a factor.
