Hasten The Day!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Genesis 1:14-15 – The History of Creation
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
"Signs" is לְאֹתֹת֙ meaning a signal, a distinguishing mark, a warning, an omen of something coming or proof of something; it is one thing that points to or signifies something else.

Signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars that Have Already Happened
Blood Moon Tetrads
Joel 2:30-32 – God’s Spirit Poured Out
Joel 2:30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.
Act 2:19-21 – Peter’s Sermon

21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’
What is a Blood Moon Tetrad?
http://www.watchmansview.com/Blood_Red_Moons.html
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. This blocks the sun’s rays from reflecting off the moon as normal. However, some of the sun’s rays curve around the earth causing the moon to appear red during a total eclipse. Because of its vivid color, a total lunar eclipse is often referred to by NASA as a Blood Red Moon. The occurrence of blood moons normally happens twice per year. Most of us have seen the moon when its appearance has changed to red. When four full blood moons happen in close succession, NASA refers to this as a tetrad. Tetrads are rather rare, only taking place fifty-five times since 1 AD. Tetrads falling on Jewish feast days has only happened eight times – and each of those eight times has signified significant events for Israel.
When four consecutive full blood moons fall on Jewish feast days, a major event affecting the Jewish people will occur in close proximity to that time. There have been eight of these tetrads since the time of Christ that fell on the first and last of the “feasts of the LORD” of Leviticus 23, that is, Passover and Tabernacles.

Tetrad 32-33 – Crucifixion of Jesus (Incomplete)
Notice the two singular Blood Moons preceding and following the date of the crucifixion. You can see that the tetrad pattern is established with lunar eclipses on the feasts of Passover & Tabernacles, but the third and fourth lunar tetrads are not total, but partial.
The total solar eclipse that is recorded in Luke 23:44 is a miraculous event which is not cataloged by NASA.
1. Tetrad 162-163 – Martyrdom, Diaspora, Great Plague
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and Feast of Tabernacles
Coincided at the height of the worst persecution of Jews and Christians in the history of the Roman Empire. Thousands were martyred in Rome's arenas.
Rome was suddenly flooded by the Tiberas River in the spring of 162 AD, leading to severe famine and a plague that killed 1/3 of the Roman Empire's population.
Prophetic significance: Jews remain scattered.
2. Tetrad 795-796 – Defeat of the Muslim Empire
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur
Coincided with the break-up of the Carolingian Empire in Europe, weakening the position of Jews in Europe and setting the stage for their future persecution. This also led to Rome being sacked and the Vatican being looted by Islamic armies.
Prophetic significance: Jews remain scattered.
3. Tetrad 842-843 – Fall of the Holy Roman Empire
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur
Coincided with King Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire establishing a buffer zone between France and Spain which halted Islamic invasions into Western Europe. This was a key turning point in spread of Christianity in Europe and stability of Jews in the region.
Prophetic significance: Jews remain scattered.
4. Tetrad 860-861 – 2nd Defeat of the Muslim Empire
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles
Coincided with the Greeks of the Byzantine Empire permanently stopping the Islamic invasion of Eastern Europe. This kept Islam confined to Asia Minor and the Middle East, allowing the continued spread of Christianity in Europe, thus allowing Jews to live in relatively security.
Prophetic significance: Jews remain scattered.
5. Tetrad 1493-1494 – Spanish Inquisition / Columbus finds America
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Trumpets
Coincided with the Spanish Inquisition when the King of Spain ordered all Jews to leave the country. The Jews had settled in the region about 200 AD and thus Spain became a second Jewish homeland.
This also coincided with Christopher Columbus' discovering of America, which is home today for more than 5 million Jews outside Israel.
Prophetic significance: Jews remain scattered.
6. Tetrad 1949-1950 – Israel Reborn May 14, 1948
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles
Coincided with:
(1) the rebirth of Israel as an independent nation on May 14, 1948
(2) the winning of the Israeli War for Independence and the first official permanent government on January 25th, 1949
(3) the Knesset passing the "Law of Return" on July 5, 1950 which gave Jews the right to settle in Israel and obtain citizenship .
Prophetic significance: Jews regathered, Israel a nation.
7. Tetrad 1967-1968 – Jerusalem Recaptured June 7, 1967
Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles
Coincided with the "6-Day War" of June 5-10, 1967 with Israel retaking of Jerusalem and capturing critical portions of land including Judea, Samaria, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank and the Golan Heights.
Prophetic significance: Jews regathered, Israel a nation, Jerusalem regained.
8. Tetrad 2014-2015 – Lord’s Perfect Sign
Statistician Paul Grevas has determined that the timing of this unusual lunar tetrad is so rare, "The probability of successfully predicting 4 consecutive BLOOD MOONS to fall on these 2 Holy Days beginning ... with Passover … on the first of the 2014-2015 BLOOD MOONS is INDESCRIBABLE:
1 chance in 1.85 x 10e139. (Yes, that is 139 consecutive zeroes.)"
Coincides with the launching of the New World Order. Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted on September 25, 2015.
Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs [a signal, a distinguishing mark, a warning, an omen is coming or proof of something] in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
There have been 7 tetrads since Christ’s First Coming that fell on "the feasts of the LORD” (Leviticus 23:2, 4, 37, 44).
The 8th occurs in 2014/15, and then there are no more for 549 years. This Tetrad will also be accompanied by 2 solar eclipses.
-
April 15, 2014 -- Feast 1: Passover -- Total Lunar Eclipse (Nisan 14, 5774)
-
October 8, 2014 -- Feast 7: Tabernacles -- Total Lunar Eclipse (Tishrei 14, 5775)
-
March 20, 2015 -- New Year for Feast Days -- Total Solar Eclipse (Nisan 1, 5775)
-
April 4, 2015 -- Feast 1: Passover -- Total Lunar Eclipse (Nisan 14, 5775)
-
September 13, 2015 -- Feast 5: Trumpets (Civil New Year) -- Partial Solar Eclipse (5775 ends & 5776 begins on Tishri 1)
-
September 28, 2015 -- Feast 7: Tabernacles -- Total Lunar Eclipse (Tishrei 14, 5776)
This is the 8th Tetrad – The number 8 is of great importance. It symbolizes new life, resurrection, a new covenant, and new beginnings.
-
God spoke 8 words to bring forth creation (Gen. 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26).
-
Jesus rose on the 8th day—the first day of the week (Sun. Apr. 5, 33 AD).
-
Eight people were resurrected besides Jesus’s own resurrection.
-
If you take the numerical value of Jesus’s name, it comes to 888.
Lord’s Perfect Sign 2010-2019 – A Prophecy
https://444prophecynews.com/the-lords-perfect-sign-ends-january-21-2019-holy-spirit-wind/
The sign that I have given started on Dec. 21st 2010, on your calendar and it will be completed Jan. 21st 2019 on your calendar, at 12:12 am EST. The time of its ending significant, this number means total completeness of the warning time that I have given before the greater judgments begin: earthquakes, the fiery kick off event, economic collapse, famine, disease, and then the great war begins. This warning alone has lasted 8 years and one month; some would like more time but what would be done with more time if I gave it? I have been warning the world through My servants the prophets for over 100 years that you are in the last days. There are very few hearing My warnings right now. My chosen few have heard plenty of My warnings and they grow weary of them. Let it not be said that I am not merciful and longsuffering. The time of the end of the age has truly come!
My little flock, I also want to tell you about the “Super-Blood-Wolf Moon Eclipse” which will happen soon (July 27, 2018). First, “super” means that this will be even more significant than some similar signs in the past. “Blood” signifies that there will be blood spilled and judgment across the land where it is visible. “Wolf” is symbolic of the son of perdition, Barack Obama who will return as America’s leader after the fiery kick-off event. The people will look to him as their savior after this but he will reveal who he really is after a short time.
THEN HE WILL BEGIN THE PERSECUTION AND SLAUGHTER OF MY SHEEP WHO ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE DECEIVED BY HIM AND EVEN THOSE WHO DIDN’T BELIEVE THAT HE IS WHO I HAVE SAID HE IS. THOSE WHO HAVE SIN IN THEIR LIVES WILL BE PURIFIED BY THE FIRE PERSECUTION. MY SHEEP WILL CRY OUT TO ME IN TRUE REPENTANCE, WITH ALL OF THEIR HEARTS. THE GOOD SHEPHERD WILL SAVE THEM FROM ETERNAL DEATH! UNDERSTAND, THE REASON THAT THINGS MUST HAPPEN IN THIS WAY IS BECAUSE MOST OF MY SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY. THE REMNANT/BRIDE WHO HAVE BEEN PURIFIED; REMAINED HOLY AND SEPARATE FROM THE WORLD AND ALL OF ITS SIN AND CLEANSED BY MY BLOOD WILL BE PROTECTED AND HIDDEN IF I HAVE WORK FOR THEM TO DO OR BE TAKEN HOME. MY PRECIOUS ONES WHO ARE CLOSE TO MY HEART, YOU WILL BE STRENGTHENED, HEALED, DELIVERED, TRANSFORMED, COMPLETELY INFUSED WITH MY SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE AND FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH MY SUPERNATURAL, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THAT WILL POUR OUT OF YOU AND TOUCH EVEN YOUR ENEMIES. YOU WILL WALK IN POWER, HUMILITY, URGENCY, IN MY PERFECT WILL AND LOVE AS YOU SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST. AFTER THIS WORK IS DONE WE CELEBRATE OUR MARRIAGE FEAST!
MY CHILDREN, BE READY! AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE THERE IS NO MORE TIME! ALL OF THE END TIME SIGNS, INCLUDING THE SIGN OF THE WOMAN IN THE HEAVENS, HAVE SIGNIFICANCE. ALL THE SIGNS I HAVE TOLD YOU TO LOOK FOR ARE OCCURRING AND THEY HAVE CONVERGED INTO THE TIME THAT YOU ARE IN. SOON THERE WILL BE NO MORE TIME BUT WITH THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT SEEK ME LIKE NEVER BEFORE! DRAW CLOSE TO ME AND I WILL DRAW CLOSE TO YOU AND COVER YOU WITH MY FEATHERS. THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL BE YOUR DWELLING PLACE AND THE SHADOW OF MY WINGS SHALL BE YOUR REFUGE UNTIL YOU ARISE AND SHINE.
THE END COMES NOT BY THE WILL OF MAN BUT BY THE WILL OF MY FATHER ONLY! NONE WILL STOP IT!
JESUS CHRIST

Revelation 12 Alignment – September 23, 2017
Revelation 12:1-2 - The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
Rev 12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. … 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.
The Revelation 12 sign in 3 Minutes!! l 9 23 2017 Prophecy of Biblical proportions (Parable of the Vineyard)
The Revelation 12 Sign is an extremely rare and complex astronomical alignment which many believe matches the Biblical prophecy found in Revelation 12:1-2. Later this year, multiple celestial bodies will converge into one area of the sky to literally fulfill the imagery found in the Bible. The most unique portion of the Rev12 Sign is the fact that the king planet (Jupiter) enters into the womb area of the woman (Virgo), does a loop in her womb area and stays there for just over 9 months (the period of a human pregnancy). In addition to this, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus all take their positions perfectly on September 23, 2017. Together they form a sign which has been found to be completely unique, even after studying more 7000 years in astronomy software.
Additionally, on August 21st an extremely rare solar eclipse transverses the United States just 33 days prior to the this sign. The Great American Eclipse occurs in the exact same area of the sky as this sign and as millions of people look to the sky they will be given a short glimpse of the Rev12 Sign as it moves into its final stages of fulfillment.
Many scriptural connections have been found linking this "woman in labor" imagery with the upcoming time of Jacobs Trouble, otherwise known as the Tribulation. This 7 year period of horrible suffering on the earth will likely be preceded by an event known as the Rapture, which can be found in 1 Thes 4:13-18. Revelation 12:5 has been a foundational verse for the pre-tribulation rapture of true believers in Jesus Christ for many years, dating back to the 1800's or earlier. In Revelation 12, the man-child who is caught-up to heaven prior to being harmed could represent the "Body of Christ". This possibility has fueled much speculation and deep study, yet to this day this Sign and its potential fulfillment has yet to be even marginally dis proven despite attempts by many of the biggest names in Bible prophecy.
We will find out in time if the excitement surrounding the Rev12 Sign is founded on truth, but the fact remains that the most important decision you will ever make is whether or not you choose to form a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus himself claimed to be The Way, THE TRUTH and The Life, saying that nobody would enter heaven except through belief to Him. He loved you so much that he willingly suffered and brutally died on a cross for the sins committed by us, so that we would have an opportunity to be saved. Sadly, most people ignore His free gift and live their lives far from God and thus in danger of an eternity separated from the peace and joy of heaven. Please do not be one of the countless souls enduring an eternity of personal remorse for ignoring the warnings of Jesus and the offer of total forgiveness. Please let the amazing implications of this sign and all it could represent spur you on to a point where you realize your need for Jesus and respond to his grace and mercy with urgency, calling to him for the salvation of your soul. The Bible is clear, instead of continually working your way up to God like other religions, what truly matters is confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead. If you do this from a sincere heart with genuine repentance, the Bible assures you that that no matter what happens to you here on earth, in the end YOU WILL BE SAVED.

September 23, 2017 - Part 1: The Revelation 12 Sign - Unlocking Daniel's Sealed Prophecies (God's Roadmap to the End)
God told both Daniel and John to seal up specific information that He showed to them but that they were told to withhold from those who would read the books that they were writing. This information was meant to be unsealed when "The Time of the End" arrived. That time has now come and God has now given us insight into what was sealed up, so that we can understand his plans in the months ahead.
-
Celestial alignment
-
The sun will be in the zodiac constellation Virgo—“a woman clothed with the sun”.
-
The moon will be at the feet of Virgo—“ with the moon under her feet”.
-
The ‘nine’ stars of the zodiac constellation Leo, plus three planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars), will be at the head of Virgo—“ on her head a garland of twelve stars”.
-
-
Jupiter (the King planet) remains ‘in the womb’ of the virgin (Virgo) for 42 weeks due to retrograde motion
-
Jupiter is the largest of the planets, the “king” of the planets—“ She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.”.
-
Jupiter was known by the Jews as the planet of the Messiah.
-
-
Jupiter enters Virgo on August 27, 2016, which coincides with a close conjunction of Venus.
-
See Star of Bethlehem below for the significance of this.
-
-
On November 20, 2016, Jupiter enters into the body (womb) of the constellation Virgo (the virgin)
-
November 20, 2016 is the Feast of Christ the King. It is also the very day that Pope Francis’ declared “Year of Mercy”, comes to an end.
-
-
Due its retrograde motion, Jupiter (king) spends the next 9 ½ months within the womb of Virgo (the virgin). This length of time corresponds with gestation period of a normal late-term baby.
-
On September 23, 2017, Jupiter exits Virgo to the east, past her feet, so to speak—“ Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth”.
-
-
This information has been sealed up until the time of the end (Dan 12:9). Only now do we have the technology (computer software) to know when this will happen. Since she will be 'clothed in the sun', we will not actually see it. Only now, in the time of the end, do we know that it is happening.

Year of Mercy (jubilee) ends and new year begins
Jubilee Year (Year of Mercy)
-
Revelation 12 Sign Begins on the Very Day Year of Mercy Ends
-
Lev 25:8-13 Jubilee, Year of Mercy – Forgive all debts
-
To understand the theory, we must know what a Jubilee is.
-
A year of Jubilee was to be observed after seven cycles of seven years (49 years total). This fiftieth year is a time of celebration and rejoicing for the Israelites.
-
The ram’s horn is blown on the tenth day of the seventh month to start a year of universal redemption.
-
The year of the Jubilee involved a release from indebtedness (Leviticus 25:23–38) and all types of bondage (verses 39–55). Every captive was set free, slaves were released, debts were forgiven, and lands and properties were returned to the families of the original owners.
-
In addition, all labor was to cease for that year, and those bound by labor contracts were released from their obligations. The year of Jubilee was similar to a sabbatical year (or shemittah) in that the fields and vineyards were left fallow (verses 4–7). During the Jubilee both the land and the people had rest.
-
-
Sept 20, 2017 = last day of the jubilee year = 29 Elul 5777
-
5 is a number signifying grace,
-
7 speaks of perfection, maturation, divine completion
-
5777 – divine completion of grace
-
-
The idea that Jesus will return during a year of Jubilee comes from some calculations made by Rabbi Judah ben Samuel in AD 1217. According to the rabbi, there would be a certain number of Jubilees from ben Samuel’s time until the Messianic kingdom would begin. The year 2017 is said to be the end of that predicted period; thus, some people look for Jesus’ return during Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) in 2017 (October 4—11). The Messiah will return to give His people rest and cause great jubilation among His redeemed.
500 years since…Prophecy of 10 Jubilees – Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel (1217 AD)
“When the Ottomans (Turks) – who were already a power to be reckoned with on the Bosporus in the time of Judah Ben Samuel – conquer Jerusalem they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”

Prophet
-
Dt 18:21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’— 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

Was Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel one of God’s real prophets? Have his words come to pass?

Jubilee = 50 years
-
Lev 25:10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you;

-
Turks will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees
-
8 x 50 = 400 years
-
1517 – Turks take control of Jerusalem
-
1917 – Turks lose control of Jerusalem (exactly 400 years later)
-
In the year Judah Ben Samuel died, 1217, he prophesied that the Ottoman Turks would rule over the holy city of Jerusalem for eight Jubilees. Now, keep in mind, he made this prediction 300 years before the Turks seized control of Jerusalem in 1517. In fact, the Ottoman Empire, as it would become to be known, did not even really exist yet in 1217. Exactly 400 years after the Ottoman Turks took control of Jerusalem in 1517, they were driven out of the city and the Holy Land in 1917 by the Allied forces under the command of Gen. George Allenby – on Hanukkah, by the way. 1917 was a Jubilee year.
-
-
Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee
-
Israel under the British Mandate 1917-1947 (30 years)
-
Israel under the Jordanian Rule 1947-1967 (20 years)
-
The rabbi also prophesied that Jerusalem would be a “no-man’s land.” This is exactly what happened from 1917 to 1967, due to the fact that the Holy Land was placed under British Mandate in 1917 by the League of Nations and literally “belonged” to no nation. Even after Israel’s war of independence in 1948-49, Jerusalem was still divided by a strip of land running right through the heart of the city, with Jordan controlling the eastern part of the city and Israel controlling the western part. That strip of land was considered and even called “no-man’s land” by both the Israelis and the Jordanians.
-
-
In the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation
-
After the 6-day War in 1967, the Israelis regained control of Jerusalem
-
It was not until the Six Day War in 1967 when the entire “west bank” of the holy land was conquered by the Israeli army that the whole city of Jerusalem passed back into the possession of Israel. So once again the prophecy made by the rabbi 750 years previously was fulfilled to the letter. 1967 was a Jubilee year.
-
Luke 21 24 … And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
-
-
Signify the beginning of the Messianic end time
-
Judah Ben Samuel also prophesied that during the 10th Jubilee Jerusalem would be under the control of the Jews and the Messianic "end times" would begin. If he's right, the 10th Jubilee began in 1967 and will be concluded in 2017.

Seven ages of the church
-
The Seven Ages simply refer to that space of time wherein God gives the Gentiles (apart from the Jews) an opportunity to hear the Gospel - the Good News of Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. This "space of time" is divided into "Seven" phases or Ages which is simply called "Church" Ages - each with it's own Messenger and Message from the Word of God, showing what our Lord Jesus is doing in Grace and/or Judgement in a particular Age. In every Age, the predestinated Sons and Daughters of God always recognized their day, their Messenger and the Message.
-
-
The Bible also refers to these Seven Ages as "The Fullness of the Gentiles" - it is one and the same. Running parallel with the Seven Ages (or the Fulness of the Gentiles) is a period referred to in Scripture as ""The Times of the Gentiles"
100 years since…1917 Our Lady of Fatima (Miracle of the Sun)
Pope Leo XIII had a vision in which Satan would be given one hundred years to attempt to destroy the church. In 1884, after saying Mass on the morning of, according to at least one source, October 13th, as he was leaving the Altar, the 74 year old and frail Pope Leo XIII fell to the ground as if dead. He related that he had experienced a sort of vision, in which he heard two voices, one of which he took to be that of Christ, gentle and kind, and the other that of Satan, guttural and harsh. Satan said, “I could destroy Your Church if I had the time, and more power over those who give themselves over to my service.” And then Pope Leo heard Christ to answer, “You have the power, you have the time: 100 years. The events of 1917 opened up an unprecedented century of evil in the world.
-
Another sign in the sun, moon and stars – Our Lady of Fatima (also known as the Miracle of the Sun) – 1917
-
2017 is 100 years since the first apparitions at Fatima. The miraculous nature of the events at Fatima have been affirmed by the church and most of the popes of the last century have had a strong personal and seemingly apocalyptic association with the prophecies given to the three children.
-
These extraordinary events in 1917 can be seen as ushering in the catastrophic twentieth century.
-
By 1917 the first World War was grinding on with horrors never before imagined by the human race.
-
The lady of Fatima predicted another war if mankind did not repent. This war would be presaged by a heavenly sign. This took place with an amazing display in the night sky across Europe on January 25, 1938–just before Europe was plunged into another war.
-
The rest of the century would witness untold misery and bloodshed in genocide, atomic warfare, terrorism, famine, natural disaster and the rise of technologies that would poison nature, destroy the family and set humanity on a course of self destruction.

Star of Bethlehem
-
Same star alignment as the Star of Bethlehem in 2 BC - the stars Jupiter (king planet) and Venus (mother planet) came together so close that they could not be separated by the naked eye. What John saw in his visions in Revelation, is exactly what happened at 2 BC at the conception of Jesus.
-
In 3/2 B.C., there occurred a rare triple conjunction of Jupiter (the king planet, through its retrograde motion) and Regulus (the king star). The Magi likely interpreted this rare triple conjunction as a giant neon sign in the heavens blinking KING-KING-KING. This all began at the Jewish New year and all within the constellation of Leo (the lion, a symbol of the tribe of Judah). So it heavily symbolized Jewish King from the tribe of Judah, a clear indication for those familiar with the Messiah. Further, rising right behind Leo was the constellation Virgo, with the sun behind and the moon at her feet.
-
After this incredible triple conjunction, Jupiter began moving westward in the sky, eventually coming into conjunction with Venus, a planet long symbolically associated with motherhood. The conjunction of the king planet and the motherhood planet was so close, that no man alive had ever seen anything like it and together it formed the brightest object in the sky.
-
All this symbolism of a Jewish king from Judah and a Virgin was enough to get the well-versed Magi moving to Jerusalem, but you can understand why the average citizen of Jerusalem missed it. Jupiter continued its western movement in the sky until it finally stopped. When it stopped (as seen from Jerusalem), it stopped directly south, directly over the small village of Bethlehem, on December 25 of 2 B.C. This may be easily seen with modern star programs that can show you the night sky on any date in history from any perspective. It is the advent of such computer programs that now allows us to not only look at the past, but to look at the skies of the future.
-
The last time that this sign appeared was over 2000 years ago around the birth of Jesus.
-
See Star of Bethlehem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGUlWa2r-bk (start at 39:28).
-
In this sign, we do not have Jupiter (the king) in the womb of Virgo (the virgin). However, everything else is there. And, interestingly enough, there is no direct mention of birth or child in the original Greek. All of the imagery is there, but not the specific words.
-
August 15, 3 BC (-2 because the date function includes a 0)
What Does it all mean?
I have no idea – but I do know that it means something because Scripture told us to take note of this GREAT sign.
-
Rev 12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. … 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron.

Solar and Lunar Eclipses
Is an eclipse a sign of the end times?
https://www.gotquestions.org/eclipse-sign-end-times.html
Numerous biblical passages link end-times events with astronomical phenomena. The sun, the moon, the stars, meteors, and possibly even eclipses are mentioned in connection with end-times Bible prophecies. For example, when asked about the timing of the end times, Jesus says, “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars” (Luke 21:25). It’s natural that, whenever strange or rare astronomical phenomena occur, many wonder if the end times are approaching.
Eclipses and “blood moons” seem to especially stoke end-times hysteria. Some point to Matthew 24:29 as connecting a solar eclipse with the end times: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light” (ESV; see also Isaiah 13:10). During a solar eclipse, the sun is significantly darkened and the light normally reflected by the moon is gone. Also, during a lunar eclipse, the light normal reflected by the moon significantly decreases. So, yes, there does seem to be a possible connection between an eclipse and the end times.
With that said, there is no way to connect a specific eclipse with the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. Eclipses are actually quite common, with a total solar eclipse occurring somewhere on Earth approximately once every 18 months. Partial solar eclipses occur several times per year. Total lunar eclipses occur virtually every year in most parts of the world. Since the time that Jesus spoke the words recorded in Matthew 24, there have been thousands of total and partial, solar and lunar eclipses. None of them seem to have had any significance to end-times Bible prophecy. So, there is no way to know a particular eclipse in the future will have a connection to the end times.
Also, it is important to look at the rest of what Jesus says in Matthew 24, which is known as the Olivet Discourse. The possible eclipse is just one of several signs that Jesus mentions. Here is the whole of verse 29: “Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’” People pick up on the dark sun and moon, but they tend to ignore the stars falling and the planets shaking. Also, Jesus specifies that this sign will come “immediately after the distress,” a reference to the abomination of desolation in verse 15. This will be a time when “there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again” (verse 21). In fact, so terrible is that time that, “if those days had not been cut short, no one would survive” (verse 22). This is no regular eclipse that Jesus speaks of but one that occurs in the middle of the tribulation with a multitude of other signs. It will be the worst time of trouble the world has ever seen.
It is important to remember that Jesus said no one knows the day or hour of His return (Matthew 24:36). Since eclipses can be pinpointed to the very second, it would seem an eclipse cannot be the precise moment of Christ’s return. Our curiosity about when the rapture will occur, who the Antichrist will be, when the tribulation begins, and what exactly the abomination of desolation is must remain unsatisfied for now.
The apostle Peter gives us practical instruction in light of the end times: “You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat” (2 Peter 3:11–12). We know that we will then see the new creation, “where righteousness dwells” (verse 13). Living our lives in light of Christ’s return means living in holiness and anticipation. Trying to calculate the timing of end-times events based on astronomical phenomena is not something the Bible calls us to do.

Solar Eclipses
Solar eclipses traditionally viewed as bad omens.
Destruction of Nineveh - Bur-Sagale eclipse in 763 BC
Jonah and Nineveh (modern day Mosul) - There was a total solar eclipse, called Bur-Sagale eclipse, spanning Nineveh on June 15 763 BC. This eclipse occurred 40 days before Yom Kippur, the Feast of the Day of Atonement. That same day, Jonah arrived and warned the Ninevites to repent and surrender to the Lord. As foretold, Nineveh heed Jonah's warning to turn to God and was spared of His judgment.
Solar Eclipses During The Jewish Days of Mourning:
The 3 years before that (2008, 2009 & 2010) there were solar eclipses during the Jewish Days of Mourning that commemorate the destruction of the Temple in 586 BC and 70 AD. I also checked out eclipses that fell on Purim. All lunar eclipses that fell in March during the 20th Century fell on Purim or Passover.
The 9th of Av on the Jewish calendar is a day of fasting and mourning for the destruction of both Temples, first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C (9th of Av), and again by the Romans in 70 AD (9th of Av). The Jews still observe 21 days of mourning from 17 Tammuz to 9 Av in commemoration of the Roman General Titus' breach of the outer walls of Jerusalem on 17 Tammuz, and his order on the 9th of Av to leveled the Temple to the ground (4 Aug 70 AD). The Nine Days are the darkest days on the Jewish calendar. They are the final 9 days of the days of mourning. There were total solar eclipses for 3 years straight on the first day of the Nine Days on the 1st of Av in 2008, 2009 and 2010 as follows:
August 1, 2008 was the 1st of Av 5768. This Biblical day began at sunset on August 1st and ended at sunset on the 2nd.
July 22, 2009 was the 1st of Av 5769. Day began at sundown on July 21st and ended at sundown on the 22nd.
July 11, 2010 was the 1st of Av 5770. Day began at sunset, July 11th and ended at sunset on the 12th.
Eclipses on the Feast of Purim:
In the book of Esther after Ahasuerus, King of Persia, had given command that the Jews should defend themselves against wicked Haman's Holocaust plot to destroy them, and thus they were able to defeat their enemies. Since those days till now they have celebrated Purim (Esther 9:15-19).
Here it is important to note that self defence is a natural right. It was on May 15, 1948, after Israel had declared her independence that she again exercized this natural right when several Arab nations attacked her. During 2 of the 5 lunar tetrads that fell on the first and last of the feast of the LORD during the 20th Century (1949-50 &1967-68) Israel was exercising this natural right. It was during the 20th Century that Israel was re-established as a Nation after 1,878 years of exile from their land, and in 1967 she regained her Capital, Jerusalem. Both times Israel was attacked first and Israel fought and gained more land. I take this as a prophetic sign in the heavens of God's protection of Israel.
On 8 March, 2012 (which was the 1st of the 2 days of Purim) while verifying the 2 tetrads that fell on the feast days in the 20th Century at the NASA web site, I noticed that Purim frequently fell in March. I became curious and checked every time there was a lunar eclipse in March during the 20th Century. There were 21 eclipses in March during the 20th Century that fell on Purim (7 + 7 + 7 = 21). There were 2 eclipses in 1904, one on Purim and the other on Passover. They were the 7th and 8th lunar eclipses of the 20th Century.
It finally dawned on me that the dates of Purim, Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Tabernacles all follow the lunar calendar established by God for Israel, and fall on the 14th or 15th of their respective months which is when the moon is full and lunar eclipses naturally fall in accordance with God's astronomical clockwork. It is only at this time when it is possible for the earth to come between the sun and moon causing an eclipse.
US total solar eclipse – August 21, 2017
Americans donned special glasses to witness the first total solar eclipse in the 48 contiguous states since 1979. The path of the total eclipse ran from Oregon southeast across the country to South Carolina. It has also been determined that the US will receive another total solar eclipse in exactly 7 years. The two eclipses will form a perfect 'X' across the US.
Regarding Solar Eclipses, history has revealed judgement on the nations who attempt to harm Israel. (Genesis 12:3)
3 blue moons in succession (2017-2018)
The Dec. 3 full moon is the first of three consecutive supermoons, including a lunar eclipse. The other supermoons will happen on Jan. 1 and end with a super Blue Blood Moon on January 31, 2018. Supermoons occur when the moon is closer to the earth in its rotation, making it appear bigger than usual. The moon will appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter. The moon appears blue due to Earth's dark shadow. These unique astronomical occurrences have some religious leaders speculating that they could be prophetic signs.
Middle East Solar Eclipse A Ring Of Fire Celestial Event
Rare celestial event in the heavens as a Ring of Fire eclipse occurred over Middle East & Asia. 2 millennia ago a celestial event happened as sign of Savior, & He foretold signs in Sun & Moon when Savior comes again as King.
Jonah and the Eclipse in Ancient Nineveh
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/tomhobson/2017/08/jonah-eclipse-ancient-nineveh/
AUGUST 7, 2017 BY TOM HOBSON
763 BCE total solar eclipse in Jonah’s Nineveh.
As we await the eclipse of 2017 AD, this post examines the possibility that the dramatic repentance of Nineveh in Jonah 3:1-10 may have been galvanized by a total solar eclipse there that dates to June 15, 763 BCE, during the probable lifetime of Jonah. All sorts of details kick in to make this possibility highly plausible!
We here in southern Illinois are about to be at the center of the umbra for the eclipse of a lifetime. I’ve been waiting for this one ever since I heard about it when I was growing up here 48 years ago. Ozzy Osbourne will be performing near SIU-Carbondale at a music event called Moonstock. People are planning to flood the entire totality path to see it happen.
It’s been ages since a total solar eclipse tracked all the way across America from Pacific to Atlantic. We’ll see what the forecast holds. We’ll also see whether the mathematical projections of the shadow’s path by astronomers prove to be accurate; I find it mind-boggling to think that they can measure and crunch those kinds of numbers without mistakes that will leave Millstadt or Cahokia stuck in the sunshine after all.
But did you know that a total solar eclipse appears to have played a role in the story of the Biblical prophet Jonah? First, of course, we have to decide whether Jonah was a fictional character or a real, historical person. If you’ve read my three-part article “Historicity: Does It Matter?” (http://pres-outlook.org/2009/07/historicity-does-it-matter-part-2-2/), you’ll know what I think. Taking Jonah to be historical as I do, the Bible’s one specific clue as to when he lived was during the reign of Jeroboam II, or around 786-746 BCE, if we take 2 Kings 14:25 as evidence of the latest that he could have prophesied.
A total solar eclipse over Nineveh in northern Iraq on June 15, 763 BCE fits this time frame for the life and career of Jonah. Assyriologist Donald Wiseman, a former curator at the British Museum, and editor of Chronicles of Chaldean Kings and The Alalakh Tablets, published a lecture in the Tyndale Bulletin in 1979 where he argued persuasively that this eclipse would help explain the dramatic reaction to Jonah’s preaching. (http://www.tyndalehouse.com/TynBul/Library/TynBull_1979_30_02_Wiseman_JonahsNineveh.pdf)
According to the Assyrian writings cited by Wiseman, here’s what a solar eclipse would have meant to them: “the king will be deposed and killed, and a worthless fellow will seize the throne…rain from heaven will flood the land…the city walls will be destroyed.” The Assyrians tell us that at such a time, there would be solemn fasting, and the king would hand over his throne to a substitute until the danger passed. At least once when there was a total solar eclipse, the Assyrians cry, “Nineveh shall be overthrown!” (in Assyrian, adi arbat ūmē ālninuaki innabak, which can also mean, “Nineveh shall be made to repent!”).
I believe that Jonah was in Nineveh in June of 763 BC during the total eclipse of the sun, which would help explain the remarkable response of the people of Nineveh. Jonah preaches at exactly the right time for the people of Nineveh to listen to him. The Assyrian nation was weak and in chaos in the decade around 760 BCE. They had one earthquake (one sign of divine wrath). There was a famine from 765-758 BCE. Assyria was losing battles and losing territory to its enemies. There were domestic riots. With all the trouble they already had going on, they could have easily believed that Jonah’s warning would come to pass. Now was a perfect time for a prophet from far away to arrive on the scene and command a response.
The repentance of an entire pagan city the size of Nineveh would be a greater miracle than for Jonah to survive getting swallowed by a fish. By the way, I have no problem with that part of the account, either. (Our adult daughter theorizes that the fish was probably a basking shark, the only creature found in the Mediterranean big enough to do the job without deliberately chewing Jonah up for food.) Yes, such an experience would be near-fatal if not fatal, but that’s part of the miracle, which is probably why Jesus cites Jonah as a sign comparable to his own resurrection (a sign that was still quite some time in the future to those who heard Jesus at first).
We are in no position to prove or disprove either Jonah’s survival inside the fish, or the repentance of Nineveh, nor can we prove the admittedly daring hypothesis that Jonah was there for the 763 BCE eclipse and that the eclipse helped produce the results recorded in the Biblical account. But if these propositions are not provable, they are at least perfectly plausible. Yet they do not remove the element of the divine. When can you get God to send a stupendous natural event right when you need one to back up your point?
The divine factor is why I doubt whether anyone will be moved to repentance by the eclipse of 2017 AD. God will have to use other means to make that happen on any scale like the repentance recorded in Nineveh in the time of Jonah. Jesus’ resurrection, the mega-event foreshadowed by Jonah’s brush with death inside the great fish, will do the job, if anything can. And we have far stronger reason to believe in the truth of Jesus’ resurrection than in whatever happened in Nineveh as a result of the eclipse of 763 BCE.
Is God’s Judgment Coming on America?
https://www.annegrahamlotz.org/2017/08/07/gods-judgment-coming-america/
The sun will be turned to darkness…before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Joel 2:31
A few years ago I was teaching through the book of Joel when the ancient words of his prophecy came up off the page. I knew with hair-raising certainty that God’s severe judgment was coming on America! I have taught Joel several times since. Each time has served to confirm with deep conviction that God is warning America of impending disaster and destruction.
In light of Ezekiel 33:1-6 that commands a watchman to be faithful to warn others of the danger coming against the land, I feel compelled to issue the warning once again. The warning is triggered by the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, nicknamed America’s Eclipse. For the first time in almost 100 years, a total solar eclipse will be seen from coast to coast in our nation. People are preparing to mark this significant event with viewing parties at exclusive prime sites. The celebratory nature regarding the eclipse brings to my mind the Babylonian King Belshazzar who threw a drunken feast the night the Medes and Persians crept under the city gate. While Belshazzar and his friends partied, they were oblivious to the impending danger. Belshazzar wound up dead the next day, and the Babylonian empire was destroyed.
Jewish rabbis have historically viewed solar eclipses as warnings from God to Gentile nations. Therefore, my perspective on the upcoming phenomenon is not celebratory. While no one can know for sure if judgment is coming on America, it does seem that God is signaling us about something. Time will tell what that something is.
Please view the following video posted by Australian pastor Steve Cioccolanti. Pastor Steve articulates the warning in a very clear, undeniable, yet undogmatic way based on his understanding of Biblical truth:
Is the USA in the Bible? Great American Eclipses of 2017 & 2024 - Real End Time Signs? (Steve Cioccolanti & Discover Ministries)
The Great American Solar Eclipse on August 21st, 2017 preceded by 4 days Hurricane Harvey, the STRONGEST hurricane in 12 years. It made landfall near Corpus Christi. Harvey means "Battle-Worthy". Corpus Christi means "Body of Christ". America is now in a 40 day opportunity to repent before Yom Kippur.
Don't waste time! The American Solar Eclipse of August 21st, 2017 will be followed 33 days later by the Great Sign of Revelation 12 on September 23rd, 2017. What does it portend? Pastor Steve Cioccolanti sheds light on this astronomical event which put an "X marks the spot" directly over America! Is it Biblical?
Please be assured that balancing God’s warning is His plea for us to return to Him and rend our hearts in sincere, heartfelt repentance. I can almost hear the tears in Joel’s voice as he pleads for us to repent and return to God, because “Who knows? He may return and have pity and leave behind a blessing.” (Joel 2:13-14)
Regardless of whether or not the conjecture regarding America’s Eclipse is accurate, we know our nation and our world is in turmoil. Without doubt this is the time for God’s people to get right with God. To repent of our own sin. To share the Gospel with our neighbors. And to pray that in the midst of His coming wrath, God would remember mercy (Habakkuk 3:2).
For the glory of His great name.
Reader says Aug. 21 eclipse could be prophetic sign
https://www.elizabethton.com/2017/08/16/reader-says-aug-21-eclipse-could-be-prophetic-sign/
To the editor:
The eclipse on August 21, 2017, showcases the beauty and design of God’s creation. Total solar eclipses occur because the sun while 400 times bigger than our moon is also 400 times farther away making the apparent size of both in the sky approximately equal. This is viewed as a remarkable “coincidence” or evidence of intelligent design by a creator. This is so rare with 65 of the major moons in our solar system only earth’s produces a perfect total solar eclipse on their planet.
Many Americans are wrongly excited about seeing the total solar eclipse that goes across America from coast to coast on August 21. The American solar eclipse is a warning sign from God of coming judgment and not entertainment and a reason to celebrate. The Bible says solar eclipses are a sign in Genesis 1. Both evangelist Anne Graham Lotz and Pastor Steve Cioccolanti believe the American eclipse is a possible warning of coming judgment. Lotz said, “Jewish rabbis have traditionally seen solar eclipses as warnings from God to Gentile nations.” They have always been seen as a bad sign. Another total solar eclipse goes across America almost seven years later in the opposite direction making an X across America. This is a bad sign and could be the last warning for America. Americans have X-mas and have removed Jesus. Now it appears God is putting a bull’s eye on America and is going to remove America.
On the Jewish calendar which is God’s calendar August 21 — the day of the eclipse — is the first day of Elul which is a time of repentance (turning from sin and self to God) in preparation for the coming day of judgment and the most holy day 40 days later. In the 1600s an eclipse went over Africa right before many became slaves and lost their freedom or lives. The last time a total solar eclipse crossed the United States was June 8, 1918, and 675,000 people died from a pandemic that year. Prophecy experts are asked, “Does America fit into the end times?” Most say they don’t believe it does.
Absent repentance and revival America is a done deal. America is on the verge of being judged and destroyed by God. America is going to get a tidal wave of judgment from tsunami, great earthquakes and fire. Many Christians like evangelist Perry Stone have had dreams of the power going off all over America and tidal waves destroying America. Unless revival comes it’s all over but the earthquakes and tidal waves of judgment and of course the brimstone! America could get the sudden destruction mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5, “For when they say peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes.” The United Nations established “The International Day of Peace” and it is observed around the world on September 21. The tribulation is coming. It’s when God shakes terribly the earth. When man shall be humbled and brought low and when God alone shall be exalted. The Bible says in II Corinthians 5, “knowing the terror of the Lord God we persuade men.” The only way to escape the terror coming is to turn from sin and self in repentance and turn to Jesus in faith and believe in His blood, death, burial and resurrection as your only way to heaven and peace with God. Those individuals and nations that have rejected Jesus should be very afraid and they will. Jesus is true news and the only way to escape the coming judgment.

X Marks The Spot - Two Solar Eclipses Will Mark Giant "X" Across The US
https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=1107
On August 21st, 2017, something is going to happen in the United States that has not happened since 1918.
On that date, a total solar eclipse will be visible all the way from the east coast to the west coast.
Incredibly, another rare solar eclipse of this nature will move across the country just seven years later in 2024.
If you plot the projected courses of these two solar eclipses on a map, you will find that they form a giant "X" across the continental United States.
In the Scriptures, Jesus told us that "there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars" just prior to His return, and many are speculating about what this giant "X" might mean.
Astronomers have been buzzing about the upcoming solar eclipse on August 21st because it is so very rare.
In fact, many are already making plans to travel to specific locations in order to have an optimal viewing experience. The following description of what will happen on that day comes from Fox News...
Day will turn into night across the United States on Aug. 21, as the country experiences its first total solar eclipse in decades.
On this day, the moon will pass directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the United States that will track from Oregon to South Carolina.
This will be the first time since 1918 that a total solar eclipse will be visible from the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States.
The most recent total solar eclipse visible in the United States occurred in 1979; however, it was only visible across the Pacific Northwest.
This is something that does not happen very often, and that is why it is so extraordinary that another solar eclipse will be visible in large portions of the nation just seven years later in 2024.
When you chart the courses of both eclipses on a map, you see that they form a giant "X" right over the center of the country.
Could this giant "X" have some sort of meaning?
According to the Washington Post, some believe that "the two eclipses that are slated to travel across the United States in 2017 and 2024, together marking an X across the nation, could be the starting and ending signs bookmarking a seven-year period of awful tribulations that Revelations says waits in store for nonbelievers who are left behind on Earth when the Rapture occurs."
This is pure speculation of course.
But could it have some other sort of significance?
The truth is that I don't know, and I want to make that very clear, but I do find it interesting that the heart of the "X" falls in portions of Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri...
An area spanning parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky will be the nexus of the next two total solar eclipses to occur in the U.S., on August 21, 2017, and April 8, 2024.
Because the 2017 eclipse travels across the country from northwest to southeast and the 2024 eclipse makes its way through the nation from southwest to northeast, the two paths cross each other and create a zone of overlapping totality of almost 9,000 square miles, or roughly the size of New Jersey.
If you follow my work closely, you know that I have been warning for years about the catastrophic earthquake that will someday strike the New Madrid fault zone.
The heart of this "X" falls precisely in the area where we would expect such an earthquake, and when I first saw this map that is what immediately got my attention.
That certainly does not mean that the coming New Madrid earthquake will happen on any particular date, but it is definitely a very interesting "coincidence".
In recent weeks, I have been writing much about the upcoming judgment on America.
I know a lot of people don't like to hear these kinds of warnings, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that God is speaking to large numbers of individuals all over the globe about these things.
Another very unusual celestial event will happen on September 23rd.
It is being referred to as "the Revelation 12 sign" or "the Great Sign", and apparently this will be the very first time that the scene described in Revelation chapter 12 will be depicted in the stars in about 7000 years.
Here is more from the Washington Post...
The Book of Revelation, which is full of extraordinary imagery, describes a woman "clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head" who gives birth to a boy who will "rule all the nations with an iron scepter" while she is threatened by a red, seven-headed dragon.
On September 23rd, we will be able to see this scene in the heavens, and you can find out more about this very unusual celestial event right here.
Once again, I don't know what that sign might mean, but it is interesting that it also happens this year.
So will 2017 turn out to be one of the most meaningful years for Bible prophecy that we have ever seen?
I don't know, but Jesus did repeatedly tell us to watch for signs of His return, including signs in the heavens, so I am watching...
A Warning from God or Coincidences :: By Daymond Duck
https://www.raptureready.com/2017/09/10/a-warning-from-god-or-coincidences/
Was the Aug. 21, 2017 total solar eclipse a warning for America to repent of its sin?
One, my heart and prayers go out to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. I have no desire to add to their suffering. Prophecy Plus Ministries has sent a contribution. We encourage others to do the same.
Two, I am not qualified to say whether the total solar eclipse was a warning or not, but if God was warning America to repent, it is a mistake to be one of those that are ridiculing the idea. The people of Texas and Louisiana have suffered the most, but the entire U.S. is going to pay a price and the cost will keep increasing, if there is no repentance.
Three, because darkness was one of the Ten Plague warnings to Egypt’s Pharaoh to let God’s people go (Ex. 10:21-23) some Jewish rabbis believe darkness caused by an eclipse is a warning from God.
Four, the total solar eclipse was seen only in America so some Jewish rabbis believe it was a warning to America.
Five, if the total solar eclipse was a warning to America, repentance is needed all over America not just in Texas and Louisiana. To deny that America needs repentance is seriously wrong. Repentance would be good for America not bad.
Six, God told Noah to warn people that He was going to send a Flood to destroy the earth (Gen. 6:1-7:12).
Seven, God told Jonah to warn the people of Nineveh to repent or He would overthrow them in 40 days (Jonah 3:1-10). NASA and Cuneiform tablets confirm that here was an eclipse in Nineveh shortly before Jonah arrived.
Eight, God sent two angels to warn Lot that He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19).
Nine, when God sends a disaster to warn people to repent (II Chron. 7:13), if His people will humble themselves, and pray, and seek His face, and repent, He will forgive their sins and heal their land (II Chron. 7:14; Jonah 3:10).
Ten, since the sun is almost 400 times as big as the moon, the sun would have to be about 400 times farther away from the earth than the moon is for them to appear to be about the same size. That is the way it is and it is not likely to be an accident.
Eleven, Anne Graham Lotz (Billy Graham’s daughter), Mark Biltz, Steve Cioccolanti and others were preaching that the total solar eclipse could be a warning from God.
Twelve, the total solar eclipse was unusual in many ways:
a) Jerusalem, the Holy City that is associated with the Tribulation period, probably got its name from the King of Salem called Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18);
b) The sun set in Jerusalem at the exact moment the eclipse started in the U.S.;
c) The first U.S. city to experience the eclipse was Salem, Ore.;
d) The eclipse occurred over seven cities (a significant Bible number) in the U.S. named Salem;
e) It has been almost one generation since Israel became a nation in 1948;
f) It has been about six God-Days (6 X 1,000 years = 6,000 years since God created Adam;
g) The Aug. 21, 2017 total solar eclipse will be followed by a second total solar eclipse in 2024 (about 7 years apart) and they will make an “X” over the U.S. with the center of the “X” being an area in Illinois that is often called “Little Egypt” (Darkness was one of the Ten-Plague warnings in Egypt and the only place in the U.S. that will be crossed by both eclipses is called “Little Egypt.”
Thirteen, God controls the weather and He uses it to fulfill His Word (Job 38:24-28; Psa. 135:6-7, 148:7-8; Luke 21:25).
Fourteen, on Aug. 21, 2017 Harvey was a tropical storm. Three days later, it became a Category 1 Hurricane (at 1 pm on Aug. 24). Less than 30 hours later it had grown to a Category 4 Hurricane (at 6 pm on Aug. 25). It made landfall 4 hours later (at 10 pm on Aug. 25).
Fifteen, when Harvey made landfall it got trapped by two high pressure systems. As powerful as it was, it was boxed in and it couldn’t break loose. It just kept spinning and dumping rain. Who besides God can trap a Category 4 hurricane?
There are many reasons why America needs to repent: pushing the two-state solution to divide Israel and Jerusalem, abortion; the U.S. Supreme Court redefinition of marriage, LGBT issues, the globalist effort to create a world government, violence and bloodshed all over America, silent pastors and church members, corruption in the swamp and media, and more.
Did you notice that the first item on the list is pushing the two-state solution to divide Israel and Jerusalem? Look at event number Fourteen above. Notice that Harvey went from being a tropical storm on Aug. 21, 2017 to being a Hurricane on Aug. 24, 2017.
Now notice what was going on with the peace negotiations in the Middle East: President Trump’s Advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his “negotiating team” went to Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Aug. 21, 2017, Jordan on Aug. 22, 2017, Egypt on Aug. 23, 2017 and they arrived in Israel on Aug. 23, 2017 for a next-day meeting with Prime. Min. Netanyahu on Aug. 24, 2017.
God said He will drag the nations into the battle of Armageddon for scattering the Jews and dividing the land of Israel (Joel 3:2). The total solar eclipse over the U.S. occurred on the same day Jared Kushner and his team went to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Hurricane Harvey made landfall in the U.S. on the same day Jared Kushner and his team met with Prime. Min Netanyahu in Jerusalem (or ancient Salem).
The total solar eclipse passed over “Little Egypt” in the U.S. one day before Jared Kushner and his team were in Egypt to discuss Pres. Trump’s “ultimate deal.”
Is there a connection between the eclipse, Jerusalem and Hurricane Harvey?
It has been said, “There are no coincidences with God.” These things are either a warning from God or coincidences. Each person should decide for their own self.
Many are reluctant to say these things are a warning from God to repent, but if they are people need to stop ridiculing it, they best get on their knees soon and the U.S. needs to end the so-called peace process immediately.
If God’s patience with America is waxing thin, there are no words to describe what America may experience in the next few weeks or months (Israel attacked – God and Magog, economic collapse, increased violence, birth pang type natural disasters, persecution, only God knows what else.

2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning? :: By Jonathan Brentner
What’s likely to become the biggest travel event during 2024 in America? Some might think it would be the Super Bowl or another sporting event, such as the Indianapolis 500. However, according to the Washington Post, it will be the solar eclipse that will cross the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
This eclipse sparks added interest among prophecy watchers because of its relationship to another darkening of the sun that occurred on August 21, 2017. The two eclipses, seven years apart, will form an X on America intersecting at Little Egypt, a small town in southern Illinois.
Is this just a coincidence, or is it the Lord’s way of alerting America that judgment is on the way?
The Coincidence
The pattern of two solar eclipses forming an X over the U.S. also happened in the early 1800s. Remarkably, the intersection of this century’s solar eclipses will be about one hundred miles from where those of the nineteenth century crossed paths.
The first solar eclipse occurred on June 16, 1806, with the second completing the X on September 17, 1811. The intersection happened over the New Madrid fault area, which includes an area from Cairo in southern Illinois to nearby New Madrid, MO.
On December 16, 1811, just three months after the second solar eclipse, a series of devastating earthquakes struck along the New Madrid fault line. The following quote comes from the New Madrid, MO, website:
The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston. From December 16, 1811, through March of 1812, there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri, where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.[i]
Could the upcoming completion of an X across the U.S. midsection by the April 8, 2024, eclipse point to another catastrophe in the months afterward?
Is this just an uncanny coincidence or something more ominous?
Final Warning?
I believe this year’s solar eclipse, which will complete an X over the U.S., signifies the nearness of God’s judgment. I say this for a couple of reasons.
First, we live during a time of unprecedented moral decay in the U.S. that has corrupted the majority of politicians in our government. Despite the reversal of Roe versus Wade, the shedding of innocent blood continues and now exceeds a total of sixty-two million babies murdered in the womb since 1973. Both sex trafficking and pedophilia continue unabated in the U.S., with the Biden administration unashamedly promoting the LGBTQ+ agenda both in America and all across the world.
The U.S. President is putting extreme pressure on Israel to give up its pursuit of the Hamas terrorists and agree to a two-state solution, which he says is the only path to peace. The Bible, however, tells us that the Lord will deal harshly with any nation that pursues such a policy that results in the dividing of His Land.
Second, we live in the shadow of the seven-year Tribulation when the entire earth will experience the fury of God’s wrath. Those who know and believe the words of biblical prophecy recognize the myriad of signs telling us that this time is ever so near. It’s certain that the Lord will bring much destruction to America during this time, but does the upcoming solar eclipse signify the nearness of this time? Is it God’s final warning to America? Only time will tell.
We know that the Lord’s wrath will fall on the U.S.; we just don’t know when. It could be this week, next month, this year, or later. We do know that at any moment, Jesus will come for His own, and sudden destruction will fall upon the unsuspecting world (1 Thessalonians 5:1-10).
If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus, please, please read my post, Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life. In it, I explain how you can know that Jesus has forgiven all your sins and that you possess eternal life and with the sure hope of receiving an immortal and incorruptible body at Jesus’ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:48-54).
Please don’t delay; call upon Jesus while you may! Tomorrow may be too late to avoid the death and destruction that will sweep over the world.
The April 8, 2024, solar eclipse may not be the Lord’s final warning for an unsuspecting nation and world, but then again, it might be.

Date of Second Passover according to God's calendar
Numbers 9:9-11 The Second Passover
Nu 9:9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If anyone of you or your posterity is unclean because of a corpse, or is far away on a journey, he may still keep the Lord’s Passover. 11 On the fourteenth day of the second month, at twilight, they may keep it. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Mt 25:1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

The asteroid in question, dubbed 2022 AP7, was first discovered in January 2022. It is quite large, likely over 1 kilometer in size.
Three near-Earth asteroids have been spotted recently hiding in the glare of the sun, one of which is likely the largest Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) discovered in the last 8 years, according to research recently published in The Astronomical Journal.
The asteroid in question, dubbed 2022 AP7, was first discovered in January 2022 and determined to be an Apollo type near-Earth asteroid. It is quite large, likely over 1 kilometer in size, and most likely will land in the top five percent of the largest PHAs known.
It has been given the nickname "planet killer" because its potential impact with Earth would result in a mass extinction event the likes of which Earth has not seen in millions of years, according to a recent CNN article. Luckily the asteroid is not on course to hit our planet - it is, however, expected to make a very near pass.

The Sun Has Been in Lockdown Right Along With Us :: By Geri Ungurean
Since the very beginning of the “Covid 19” pandemic, I have been asking my husband almost on a daily basis, “What has happened to our sun?” We would laugh about it, but brethren – this is no laughing matter.
Today it has been reported from one of the most trusted websites, which I use as a source for my writing, that the sun is acting strangely – so strangely that it has never been seen in recorded history.
I remember in April, waiting and waiting for the warmer temps and April showers to come as they always have since I can remember. Even into May, the temps have dipped below freezing at night and struggled to get above the high fifties during the day.
I keep wondering what is happening with our weather.

The Sun “Has Gone into Lockdown” and This Strange Behavior Could Worsen Global Food Shortages
At a time when the world is already being hit with major crisis after major crisis, our sun is behaving in ways that we have never seen before. For as long as records have been kept, the sun has never been quieter than it has been in 2019 and 2020; and as you will see below, we are being warned that we have now entered “a very deep solar minimum.” Unfortunately, other very deep solar minimums throughout history have corresponded with brutally cold temperatures and horrific global famines, and of course this new solar minimum comes at a time when the United Nations is already warning that we are on the verge of “biblical” famines around the world. So we’d better hope that the sun wakes up soon, because the alternative is almost too horrifying to talk about.
Sadly, most mainstream news outlets are largely ignoring this story, but at least a few are covering it. The following comes from Forbes…
While we on Earth suffer from coronavirus, our star—the Sun—is having a lockdown all of its own. Spaceweather.com reports that already there have been 100 days in 2020 when our Sun has displayed zero sunspots.
That makes 2020 the second consecutive year of a record-setting low number of sunspots— which you can see (a complete absence of) here.
And here is what the New York Post is saying…
Our sun has gone into lockdown, which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists say.
The sun is currently in a period of “solar minimum,” meaning activity on its surface has fallen dramatically.
Experts believe we are about to enter the deepest period of sunshine “recession” ever recorded as sunspots have virtually disappeared.
Yes, covering COVID-19 is important, but the fact that scientists are warning that we are potentially facing “freezing weather, earthquakes and famine” should be deeply alarming for all of us.
And since the mainstream media has been largely silent on this crisis, most Americans don’t even know that it exists.
Last year, there were no sunspots at all 77 percent of the time,; and so far this year, there have been no sunspots at all 76 percent of the time…
“This is a sign that solar minimum is underway,” reads SpaceWeather.com. “So far this year, the Sun has been blank 76% of the time, a rate surpassed only once before in the Space Age. Last year, 2019, the Sun was blank 77% of the time. Two consecutive years of record-setting spotlessness adds up to a very deep solar minimum, indeed.”
So why is this such a big deal?
Well, every once in a while, a very deep solar minimum that lasts for several decades comes along, and when our planet has experienced such periods in the past, the consequences have been quite dramatic.
For example, the New York Post is claiming that NASA scientists fear that we could potentially be facing “a repeat of the Dalton Minimum.”
NASA scientists fear it could be a repeat of the Dalton Minimum, which happened between 1790 and 1830 — leading to periods of brutal cold, crop loss, famine and powerful volcanic eruptions.
Temperatures plummeted by up to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over 20 years, devastating the world’s food production.
Even worse would be a repeat of the Maunder Minimum which stretched from 1645 to 1715. It came as the globe was already in the midst of “the Little Ice Age,” and it caused harvest failures and famines all over the globe…
The Maunder Minimum is the most famous cold period of the Little Ice Age. Temperatures plummeted in Europe (Figs. 14.3–14.7), the growing season became shorter by more than a month, the number of snowy days increased from a few to 20–30, the ground froze to several feet, alpine glaciers advanced all over the world, glaciers in the Swiss Alps encroached on farms and buried villages, tree-lines in the Alps dropped, sea ports were blocked by sea ice that surrounded Iceland and Holland for about 20 miles, wine grape harvests diminished, and cereal grain harvests failed, leading to mass famines (Fagan, 2007).
The Thames River and canals and rivers of the Netherlands froze over during the winter (Fig. 14.3). The population of Iceland decreased by about half. In parts of China, warm-weather crops that had been grown for centuries were abandoned. In North America, early European settlers experienced exceptionally severe winters.
Of course this would be an exceptionally bad time for such a cataclysmic climate shift, because African Swine Fever has already wiped out approximately one-fourth of all the pigs in the world, colossal armies of locusts the size of major cities are systematically wiping out crops across much of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and fear of COVID-19 is greatly disrupting global food supply chains.
In fact, it is being reported that widespread shutdowns of meat processing facilities in the United States may force farmers to euthanize “as many as 10 million hogs by September”…
U.S. pork farmers may be forced to euthanize as many as 10 million hogs by September as a result of production-plant shutdowns brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, according to the National Pork Producers Council.
At least 14,000 reported positive COVID-19 cases have been connected to meatpacking facilities in at least 181 plants in 31 states as of May 13, and at least 54 meatpacking facility workers have died of the virus at 30 plants in 18 states, according to an investigation by the Midwest Center for Investigative reporting.
Even if the sun suddenly started acting perfectly normal once again, we would still be facing what the UN is calling “the worst humanitarian crisis since World War Two.”
Global food supplies are getting tighter with each passing day, and many are warning that some areas of the globe will soon be dealing with severe food shortages.
What we really need are a few years of really good growing weather, but the behavior of the sun may not make that possible.
So let’s keep a very close eye on the giant ball of fire that we are revolving around, because if it remains very quiet, that could mean big trouble for all of us. source

An Umbrella to Combat Warming
When will mankind realize that they are not God? When will they know that manipulating the atmosphere using their own “wisdom” (and I use that term loosely) can be catastrophic to our planet?
From website:
Research examines the possibility of spraying tiny particles into the stratosphere to block the sun a bit and cool the planet.
Every morning, the Keutsch Research Group gathers for a meeting. Eight engineers and chemists give updates on their preceding day’s work: ordering parts, transferring software, untangling an administrative snafu. The whole affair usually lasts less than 15 minutes.
Scheduling vacations and requisitioning supplies do not scream “high stakes,” but the group’s project could someday have major consequences for global climate change. It is controversial, however. Some even fear it could make things worse. Right now the group is waiting for approval to schedule a new experiment in the stratosphere.
Their idea? To shield the Earth with a mist of tiny particles. It sounds like the stuff of sci-fi movies, but since it was first proposed in the 1950s, the idea has gained traction among scientists around the world to shield us not from extraterrestrials, as Hollywood might have it, but from the sun. Known as solar geoengineering, the concept is to send planes into the stratosphere — 6 to 31 miles above the Earth — to spray particles that can reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet.
Working in collaboration with colleagues from the Keith Group — more than a dozen environmental scientists, engineers, economists, and political scientists under the leadership of David Keith, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and a professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School — the Keutsch Group is hoping to uncover some answers about the possibilities of such a scheme with a project they call the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx.
The need for a bold new plan seems clear.

When will mankind know this very simple truth?
GOD IS GOD AND WE ARE NOT.
Perhaps these mad scientists caused the “Grand Solar Minimum.”
Brethren, I believe that we are seeing the hand of God in His judgment against the people on earth. I am not saying that we are in the period of time which the Bible calls Tribulation, but we are very close.
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:3-14).
Come, Lord Jesus – Your bride awaits you. Come Quickly!
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!!
Healing Wings of the Sun (שֶׁמֶשׁ shemesh)
Malachi 4:1-3 - The Great Day of God
Mal 4:1 “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
Geomagnetic storm blamed for the loss of 40 Starlink satellites
Not a whole lot happening on the Sun today. Space weather is fairly quiet but we could see the passage of a minor coronal mass ejection within the next 24 hours which could stir up to minor G1 geomagnetic storm conditions according to the NOAA SWPC. But that is not the main space weather story of today. It is SpaceX which steals the headlines today. A geomagnetic storm is blamed by the company for the loss of 40 (out of 49) Starlink satellites launched last Thursday.
The company states that following launch, SpaceX deploys its satellites into a low orbit so that in the very rare case any satellite does not pass initial system checkouts it will quickly be deorbited by atmospheric drag.
However, these satellites were launched just before a geomagnetic storm commenced on Feb 4 which reached the minor G1 geomagnetic storm threshold. Geomagnetic storms temporarily warm up the thermosphere ever so slightly and this causes increased drag for satellites in low orbit.
The company further states that the Starlink team commanded the satellites into a safe-mode where they would fly edge-on (like a sheet of paper) to minimize drag. Unfortunately it was later established that due to the increased drag up to 40 of the satellites could not leave safe-mode to begin orbit raising maneuvers. These satellites will reenter or already have reentered the Earth’s atmosphere. The good news is that according to SpaceX, the deorbiting satellites pose zero collision risk with other satellites and by design demise upon atmospheric reentry.
Another reminder that space weather is more important to keep an eye on than ever before as we are sending more satellites and humans into space!
Solar Cycle 25: Is a termination event imminent?
https://strangesounds.org/2021/06/solar-cycle-25-termination-event-sun-activity.html
Something big may be about to happen on the sun. “We call it the Termination Event,” says Scott McIntosh, a solar physicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), “and it’s very, very close to happening.”
What is a termination event?
If you’ve never heard of the Termination Event, you’re not alone. Many researchers have never heard of it either. It’s a relatively new idea in solar physics championed by McIntosh and colleague Bob Leamon of the University of Maryland – Baltimore County.
According to the two scientists, vast bands of magnetism are drifting across the surface of the sun. When oppositely-charged bands collide at the equator, they annihilate (or “terminate”). There’s no explosion; this is magnetism, not anti-matter.
Nevertheless, the Termination Event is a big deal. It can kickstart the next solar cycle into a higher gear.
NEW SUNSPOT CYCLE COULD BE ONE OF THE STRONGEST ON RECORD
Scientists use an extended, 22-year solar cycle to make the forecast
“If the Terminator Event happens soon, as we expect, new Solar Cycle 25 could have a magnitude that rivals the top few since record-keeping began,” says McIntosh.
This is, to say the least, controversial. Most solar physicists believe that Solar Cycle 25 will be weak, akin to the anemic Solar Cycle 24 which barely peaked back in 2012-2013. Orthodox models of the sun’s inner magnetic dynamo favor a weak cycle and do not even include the concept of “terminators.”
“What can I say?” laughs McIntosh. “We’re heretics!”
What about Solar Cycle 25?
The researchers outlined their reasoning in a December 2020 paper in the research journal Solar Physics. Looking back over 270 years of sunspot data, they found that Terminator Events divide one solar cycle from the next, happening approximately every 11 years. Emphasis on approximately. The interval between terminators ranges from 10 to 15 years, and this is key to predicting the solar cycle.
The official forecast for Solar Cycle 25 (red) is weak;
McIntosh and Leamon believe it will be more like the strongest solar cycles of the past.
“We found that the longer the time between terminators, the weaker the next cycle would be,” explains Leamon. “Conversely, the shorter the time between terminators, the stronger the next solar cycle would be.“
Example: Sunspot Cycle 4 began with a terminator in 1786 and ended with a terminator in 1801, an unprecedented 15 years later. The following cycle, 5, was incredibly weak with a peak amplitude of just 82 sunspots. That cycle would become known as the beginning of the “Dalton” Grand Minimum.
Solar Cycle 25 is shaping up to be the opposite. Instead of a long interval, it appears to be coming on the heels of a very short one, only 10 years since the Terminator Event that began Solar Cycle 24.
