I only just heard about the Typhoon that devastated the Philippines. The website I saw it on said they had just had a major Earthquake, not long ago. I had heard of a Cyclone hitting India about a month ago.
I'm in 1 of the areas Sandy smashed into last year. We're still rebuilding from that. Is it just me who thinks all this is way beyond normal weather patterns? I'm been telling people we're very close to the Apocalypse since last year. I was surprised by how many people didn't even know what the word Apocalypse means. It seems to me we're either very close to, or already into the things Jesus said would happen in Matthew 24. And yes it's scary. I get scared even if the power goes out for 10 seconds. That has happened several times in the past month because they're still working on my building. So looking at videos of the Typhoon in the Philippines brings back bad feelings.
I have a friend in another state, where nothing bad has happened. God has blessed them. But she thinks this is all very normal. Nothing to get worried about.
I'm not saying we should worry. We should pray and ask God to help us live holy lives for Him.
