In August of 2011, I heard a loud noise in the sky, it went on for about 20 minutes, it wasn’t trumpets or horns at all, but rather like scraping or crunching metallic sounds with rushing wind, which I had to presume was loud construction nearby, but I couldn’t locate it, I drove around a block or two looking for it,
It was somewhat disturbing, so much so, that I went online later that day to see if anyone else had reported anything similar, which oddly is not something I would have done just for a loud noise, there was something else about this that bothered me, it felt very unnatural and out of place
I was completely unaware that anyone else had reported similar stories in the weeks/months prior,
Since that time, there have been several reports near me (in the news and by neighbors) of loud unexplained booms, but nothing like what I heard was ever described,
I didn’t bother with many youtube videos, as I’m sure many are fake, but I do know what i head,
I’ve not heard anything similar since that afternoon, and I actually recounted the story in detail sometime soon after it occurred on a thread here on FreeRepublic, I don’t recall thread name without doing a search for it,
Maybe what bothered me, is that I’ve studied prophecy for many many years and was until that day just barely conscious of the number of scripture referencing loud noises,
“And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.” Zephaniah 1:10
“Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.” Isaiah 29:6
“The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. “ Psalm 77:17-18
“For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts. 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. 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. 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.” Jeremiah 25:29-32
“And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: “ Revelation 14:2
“And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters:” Ezekiel 43:2
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, . “ 2 Peter 3:10
“And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.” Ezekiel 1:24
And I should be clear,
I don’t know about these sounds, whether it was just some bizarre new viral youtube phenomenon that lasted for several months, people hearing what they wanted from natural sounds and so on, but at least we’re all learning about sky quakes, frost quakes etc.,
It was interesting to me, because up until that day, I really hadn’t noticed the many scriptures that tell us the end of the age would come with a loud noise,
(and I’m not claiming this is what these represent, only that something not dissimilar will be heard at that time)
