The Following Is Like A Day in The Coming Great Tribulation. Where Puerto Rico after Maria has become a microcosm signaling that event.
In Puerto Rico, after the disaster of monster storm Maria, acute shortages plunged the masses into a struggle for survival.
After Hurricane Maria crippled this U.S. territory, residents scrambled daily for the basic staples of society – food, water, fuel, medicine, currency – in a grinding survival struggle that has gripped Puerto Ricans across social classes.
One resident said, “every day we say, ‘What’s the thing that we need the most today?’ and then we wait in a line for that.”
One store drew desperate crowds of hundreds of storm victims who had heard it took credit or debit cards and offered customers $20 cash back – a lifeline in an increasingly cashless society.
Store employees allowed customers in, one by one, for rationed shopping trips of 15 minutes each.
Then, at noon, the store abruptly closed after its generator died leaving long lines of people still needing basic necessities like required medications.
For days after days, residents awoke each morning to decide which lifeline they should pursue: gasoline, food and bottled water at the few grocery stores with fuel for generators, or scarce cash at the few operating banks or ATMs.
The pursuit of just one of these essentials consumed an entire day – if the mission succeeded at all – as hordes of increasingly desperate residents waited in all day lines.
The severe shortages after the disaster threw even relatively affluent Puerto Ricans into the same plight as the hundreds of thousands of poor residents there.
Even those there with money to spend could not often access it or find places open and supplied to spend it as stores are shuttered for lack of electric power, diesel for generators, supplies or employees.
Another resident described waiting in a gas line for 12 hours one day and 14 hours the next. Neither attempt was successful, so he, his wife and three daughters had to walk miles and then afterwards they waited in line at a grocery store for food.
At another residence, the two people there had started eating less every day to conserve provisions. For one whole day, they split a can of ravioli and a piece of bread. And they were down to $14 of cash and there were no places open to withdraw more.
After the devastation of the disaster brought by the mega-storm, every day became a struggle to survive.
These are Signs of the Last Days that point toward the prophecy of the coming Great Tribulation.
All the above, is somewhat a similar description to what life will be like for the population of the world in that coming time of great trouble.
But what’s happening now, as horrific as it is, are only signs pointing to a time of trouble coming that is so beyond anything that’s ever happened before on earth, to were it is called the Great Tribulation of earth. (Mathew 24)
