In the autumn of 1881, the quiet Scottish fishing town of Eyemouth faced a deadly reckoning. After weeks of stormy weather, a calm morning on October 14 lured fishermen back to sea—despite dire warnings from the harbor master. Unbeknownst to them, they were sailing straight into the heart of a hidden tempest. That day, 189 lives were lost in what would forever be known as Black Friday.
This tragic event mirrors a far greater storm still to come—one foretold by Jesus Himself. Just as in the days of Noah, when people ignored the warnings and went on with life as usual until it was too late, many today dismiss the signs of Christ’s return. Have we become too comfortable under clear skies, unaware of the approaching storm?
This gripping reflection draws a powerful parallel between history, prophecy, and the urgency of understanding what the Bible truly says about the Second Coming. The skies may look calm—but is it just the eye of the storm?
