Humanity has long sought signs to anticipate the future, from astrology and divination to biblical miracles. Essays discuss how catastrophic events such as the COVID‑19 pandemic, the 2019‑2020 Australian and Amazon wildfires, and massive locust swarms in Africa and Asia have been interpreted by some as apocalyptic omens, while scientific analysis attributes them to viral genetics, climate‑driven fire conditions, and unusual cyclonic activity that boosted insect reproduction.
The writings also explore biblical narratives of signs, focusing on Jesus’ reference to the prophet Jonah as a model of death and resurrection, and the broader tradition of miracles demanded by skeptical generations. The contrast between supernatural interpretations and logical explanations is highlighted throughout.
