Before the prophet Jonah journeyed to Ninevah to proclaim God’s impending judgment, there was a solar eclipse that passed over the ancient city as a harbinger. Well documented, the Bur-Sagale eclipse occurred on June 15, 763 BC.
It frightened the citizenry of Ninevah so badly that when Jonah arrived and proclaimed God’s will for them to repent of face sudden destruction, they immediately begged for forgiveness and mercy and were spared from His wrath.
The Great American Eclipse which occurred on August 21st, 2017 is indeed a sign from God that it’s time to repent.
And seeing that this celestial event occurred over only the continental US, I would say the dire message is exclusively for our nation.
However, by monitoring the news stories of the eclipse, it’s apparent that repentance was the farthest from people’s minds; rather, they caroused at festivals across the county to celebrate the eclipse in some bizarre form of sun worship.
The eclipse made landfall at Salem, Oregon (named after Jerusalem), traversed six other cities named Salem along its 12 state stretch and concluded its transcontinental journey over Charleston, South Carolina. (Note the numbers here – 7. 12.)
How about this number?
From the 33rd state to the 33rd parallel.
More on the significance of this number later.
Indeed, as the sun went dark over Salem Oregon, the sun set over Jerusalem.
August 21st was also the 1st of Elul on the Hebrew calendar—an incredibly sacred month. It is the month of repentance, of atonement, of making oneself humble and contrite before God before His Day of Judgment. Elul translated from Hebrew in the Song of Solomon (6:3) means “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”. The month of Elul is earnest because it precedes the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah (The Feast of Trumpets) and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
In Israel, starting on the 1st Day of Elul, the shofar will sound to announce the commencement of this Holy Month; and so, the shofar will sound with a single blast from this day – Rosh Hodesh—until the day before Rosh Hashanah.
But to get back to the Eclipse. I believe God has hit the button on His stopwatch.
And Time is ticking.
There are 33 days until the Revelation 12 sign. September 23, 2017 has been highly anticipated as the date of the Rapture, and frankly, I believe there is a very, very, VERY high probability that we are indeed being taken home that day, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the Trumpet of God. To be with the Lord forever and ever (amen).
We Watchmen (and Watchwomen) have little time left to get the message out that Yeshua loves all who come to Him, and will be returning for his Church very soon.
You see, the eclipse occurred while the sun and new moon were in conjunction with the King Star Regulus in the constellation Leo. The Cosmic Big Cat is the symbol of the Lion of Judah—Yeshua HaMashiach Himself.
The significance of this is that while we were gazing at the Eclipse—especially those in the region of totality—the Heavens revealed the King to all eyes—the eclipsed sun at the front feet of Leo.(An added bonus—Regulus has long been thought to be the Bethlehem Star, which heralded the birth of Yeshua).
This very same constellation of Leo will – 33 days after the eclipse—be part of the “Great Wonder in Heaven” in Revelation 12—when its nine brightest stars are joined by 3 “wandering stars” (namely, Mars, Mercury and Venus to form the “crown of 12 stars” on the head of the Woman (Virgo).
So, the eclipse is a cause of celebration—but not as the secular world would revel. It is great, for we who hold fast to the Blessed Hope know that our Savior is returning very soon—as He promised. And these celestial events are announcing His approach.
As if the awe-inspiring beauty of the Heaven isn’t enough, let’s talk numbers.
As fore-mentioned, the Eclipse began its trek across the US from the 33rd state to the 33rd parallel.
For 33 years, David ruled the entirety of Israel.
33 as the age of Yeshua when He was crucified.
33 were the number of miracles He performed during His ministry on Earth.
Matthew uses the term “Kingdom if Heaven” 33 times.
The 33rd time Noah’s name is mentioned in the Scriptures, the Heavenly Father makes a covenant with him, bestowing the Rainbow as a sign of His promise.
Yes. 33 is the number of God’s promise.
God. Never. Does. Anything. By. Coincidence.
In Genesis, He explains that He’s created these celestial bodies for us to have knowledge.
“Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years…” (“seasons” being “moedim” in Hebrew, meaning, “appointed times”).
These signs have demonstrated His intentions since the beginning.
His promised redemption and salvation for His children and people.
His imposed judgment on unbelievers.
So, we believers looked up on August 21st, with reverence and awe, because He made this all possible.
He made the moon’s elliptical orbit; made the sun 400 times larger and 400 times the distance from the moon, so that a solar eclipse could even be possible (The Earth is the only planet in our solar system that can even have such an occurrence!)
And as knowledge has increased in these End Times, He has revealed the meaning of these events in the Heavens to His children.
Come to Him. Talk to Him. God is a loving God. He will answer you.
His Son Yeshua has already done the work. He has redeemed you. All you have to do is accept Him.
