What is the significance of Sept 23, 2017?
Sites online are saying something about a woman clothed by the sun and revelations?
Is it the next end time prophecy?

Apparently, 9/23/2017 is an astronomical alignment that somehow...some way...matches up with Chapter 12 of the book of Revelation. Somehow, the constellation Virgo, the way Jupiter moves through the area that is Virgo's "womb", and some other happenings. Apparently, this is some sort of special celestial alignment that hasn't happened in the last 6000 years or something and won't for many more thousands. IDK...the date-setting crowd has a 100% failure rate so far, so I won't get too excited about it.

I'm more concerned about the sinkhole forming in the driveway.

I think last year it was all about September 23, 2016, and the year before that it was September 23, 2015.

Just be ready to meet Jesus at any point in time and don't worry about when others set specific dates.

you really should strive to understand your Bible. The woman is in the Zodiac,,in the Bible and represent Israel. She will flee the antichrist after the Abomination of Desolation of the third temple in Israel.

You should really strive to be more like Jesus and be a better person not only to people but yourself.

Saved, any time there is a date that something of prophetic relevance is said to happen never believe it or pay attention to it. People have been setting dates for all kinds of things and not once have they ever happened these are all hypes and while they can give people false hope it always fails the main issue is some people never wise up and continue to follow and believe such things.

In fact I used to be one a very dedicated one I went on youtube all the time and all kinds of sites I read about believed and hoped for all theses things spoken of by the false teachers and false prophets and because of this I was damaged very severely spiritually and what infuriates me is these same people who hurt me are continuing to do this and many and I mean many people continue to follow and believe them never knowing the damage that is going to happen to them.

The rapture is imminent. The Re 12 sign in the sky occurs on 23 Sept 17. Just prior to that is the feast of trumpets.

I am actually going to be doing some in depth study and research on this soon as I know that this particular star alignment has never occured in history before and the fact it lines up so perfectly with revelation 12 is no coincidence if i even believed in coincidences.
There is no doubt that this is a sign of the end times I would be ashamed to call myself a person who studies bible prophecy to ignore this as a nothing. However before anyone begins to think this is the date of the rapture stop right there because it is not in fact I don't even think the rapture is going to happen within this time frame of the sign however it is in fact a sign pointing to something and it is in fact a sign from God

And I agree with Blain. If there's a sign of end times definitely don't be ignorant of it, but don't obsess either. I personally believe in pre trib rapture, but it says specifically that no man knows the date or the hour of the Lords coming.

It took a while but I can finally do my studies I have been busy helping out in the house even though I am exhausted bu hey finally I can do my research:) Yes indeed if there is a sign of the end times I would toss it aside as nothing especially if it lines up with scripture with scary accuracy however people tend to go overboard with it as well.

Personally I think a pre wrath rapture is more likely however i also am not opposed to pre trib but I also am not doing this this study to figure out the timing of the rapture I am simply doing it out of interest. Also something everyone to consider is that it is called a sign for a reason a sign points to something it is never the instigator, when the blood moon tetrad was happening not a lot of people listen to me when I said this

It's an interesting topic. I watch videos on YouTube from time to time that talk about 9/23/17, but my interest in it is merely an idle curiosity. It was the same as the blood moons - interesting. But I'm also interested in the solar eclipse in August of this year, but again out of curiosity and because I've never been anyplace where I'd experience totality during an eclipse.

Still, there are some folks out there doing their research on these topics and it's kind of fun to read/listen to what they come up with and what kinds of factoids they reveal.

While I admit it is mainly out of interest I also am seeing if there is anything valid to it as well as part of studying bible prophecy is also to test the prophecies by doing research and connecting the dots and align them with scripture kind of how a spider web has that core center where that would be the word of God and the rest of the web is the sources that make certain connections.

I also use youtube while using my bible and also researching historic events but sadly on youtube lots of people cherry pick and it's ridiculous, I just watched one where a person was relating the number 9/23 to movies and I will admit I have seen plenty of hidden messages in movies even numbers that correspond perfectly to an event such as 9 11 and also I saw some in movies I watched recently but some people just go out of their way to try to find something that just isn't there

Everything I read online or watch on YouTube, I look at with a skeptical eye. If someone uses the 9/23 topic to date-set, I filter that out. If somebody wants to show me coincidence in movies or cartoons, I filter that out. If someone (and a LOT of people do this) jump all over the Bible to cherry-pick verses out of context to make a point, I filter that out. Even with all the filtering, there is still enough good, interesting info to keep me interested in the idea of looking at this stellar event with curiosity.

According to my Jewish Calendar Rosh Hashanah the feast on Trumpets falls on 21-22 September. On 24 September a fast in memory of Tzom Gedaliah takes place who was an official left in Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity He was assassinated on that day. The next notable date is 30 September which is Yom Kipper the day of atonement. No mention is made of anything special happening on the 23rd.

Last year the internet convinced me 6/6/2016 was a "rare celestial event".

I won't be sure of anything until the first trumpet sounds and hail and fire mixed with blood rain down from the sky and burn up all the green grass or 1/3 of all grass.

I'm sure NASA and the government will tell us it's a "cosmic storm" and the blood is outer space juice or something.

No, it's just another day of the year.
