Just like I said, Jesus made no allusions to severe weather changes. In the above verses weather isn't being mentioned. No tornados, hurricanes, or blizzards in the northern Utah. The above is dealing with decreation of the creation. The audience of Jesus would of taken His words as a warning to their generation. They wouldn't of looked at each other and said, "whew, I'm glad this doesn't mean anything to us." Walking off and shaking their heads.
What is interesting, is that Jesus uses the word ἀπορία which simply meant "to be clueless on what is happening." Weather (especially now) people who live in coastal cities know why their "waves are roaring." Again, Jesus never spoke about weather being a indicator of endtimes. What He did say in the above passage, is that the signs would be heavenly, and show up politically (first century politics). That all these signs were directed to His audience (if it wasn't ) then it was no use to them. Jesus did mention earthquakes. How's California doing?
