I'm typing this article from a hotel room in Guam, overlooking the calm waters of Tumon Bay, on a weather delay for my intended flight up into Iwakuni, Japan. Typhoon Chaba - a level 4 hurricane presently - is churning its way northwestward, just having passed the island of Okinawa and making its way toward southern Japan and South Korea. The weather service is labeling it a Super Typhoon, with sustained winds of 155 mph and peak gusts of 190 mph. Surely a storm of this magnitude will leave considerable devastation in its wake.
At the same time, across the globe in the Western hemisphere, Hurricane Matthew-also a level 4 hurricane presently- is currently on track to hit Haiti and with the poorer infrastructure of this tiny island nation, will cause considerable damage to buildings and maybe even a tremendous amount of lives lost. The landfall of these two super storms in their respective regions is imminent. Hopefully, the people groups of these areas will be prepared for what lies ahead.
While these two storms and others like it can wreak havoc in its path, an even greater storm is coming! The event I'm alluding to is the final seven years of human government, commonly referred to as the Tribulation period, with the final three and a half years known as the Great Tribulation. Students of Bible prophecy have been tracking the progress of this soon engulfing phenomena for generations, while projections of its eventual impact were scribed in the Holy Writ centuries ago. Prophets like Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea, Zechariah and others, as well as Jesus with His Apostles, foretold of the inescapable moment when this storm would make its appearance.
