God’s Northern Nature Whirlwind and His Northern Wrath Whirlwind

I had the privilege of being an understudy of one of the greatest severe weather forecasters of all time – Colonel Robert
C. Miller. He was the co-author of the first severe weather index used in the United States. I served under him as a meteorologist in England and the Kansas City Severe Weather Warning Center.
The event this week which hatched a tornado (biblical whirlwind) in the northernmost sections of Israel is somewhat ironic, because a whirlwind of a quite different nature is predicted to swirl south through Israel from the north when the time of “Jacob’s Trouble” begins. Jacob (Israel) is going to have more trouble than it can handle from the north for some three and one-half years, but will be delivered out of it at the battle of Armageddon.
Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
The following article from Haaretz News Service is a good account of the recent land whirlwind in northern Israel, which is a rare event in
Israel.

Western Galilee Farmers Demand Compensation for Tornado Damage
By Haaretz Service
April 5, 2006
Western Galilee farmers are demanding compensation from the Agriculture Ministry for the extensive damage to crops and property caused by Tuesday’s storm. The Agriculture Ministry began inspecting the damage and assessing its extent Wednesday.
A clean-up operation began after a day of storms, including a tornado, wrought large-scale destruction in the area and left 70 people injured. Three people are still hospitalized.
Israel Radio reported that Agriculture Ministry officials and insurance agents visited the western Galilee on Wednesday afternoon to inspect the damage caused by the storms.
Large numbers of greenhouses in the area sustained damage in the storms, the radio said, in particular avocado, lychee and summer fruit crops.
The village of Julis in the Galilee suffered hundreds of thousands of shekels of damage in Tuesday’s strong winds. Homes in the village had broken windows and doors.
Electricity poles were also knocked down, but have since been repaired.
The head of Julis local council told Israel Radio on Wednesday that not one government office had been in contact to offer assistance in the wake of the storms that affected the homes of dozens of residents.
Officials from the Public Works Department were also out in force Wednesday, inspecting damage to roads.
Tuesday’s storms were the latest in a week of extreme weather conditions in Israel. On Sunday, heavy rains led to the deaths of five people – two of whom were washed away and three who were killed in a road accident after driving into pooled water.
A total of 70 people, including 20 children, were admitted to hospital in Nahariya following the violent weather. Most of the patients suffered light injuries caused by flying objects or road accidents.
Two children, aged six and seven, suffered deep cuts.
Meteorologist Nachum Malik said the tornado was an indication of increasingly unpredictable weather in the country.
“When this kind of phenomenon occurs over water it is called a water spout, but when it occurs over land it is called a tornado.
To use military terminology, this is an escalation in terms of weather and a very rare occurrence in Israel.
This is an example of how extreme the weather in Israel has become,” he said.

Soon the Lord will roar out of heaven with a roar greater than that of a category 5 whirlwind!
There is nothing quite like the horrendous no
ise generated by a true category 5 whirlwind. When the great Babylonian army came from the north against Israel from Syria, the sound of their marching feet were like the thundering sound of a whirlwind as they swept south through Israel.
When the great army of antichrist comes against Israel from the north the sounds of the planes and rumbling tanks and vehicles will also sound like a whirlwind.
I realize that my timing may be wrong, but I know they will come, and my guess as to the time of their coming is at some point between 2008 and 2012.
Jeremiah 25:30-33 – Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. [31] A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. [32] Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. [33] And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
Rev. 19:17-21 – And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh
of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
[20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth,
and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 3:16-18 – Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. [17] And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
[18] Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
