Prophecy from Vicky Goforth Parnell -- is this being fulfilled?
She had a dream in which she was told when China surrounds Taiwan with warships the US will be attacked.
China’s aircraft and warships surround Taiwan as invasion threat surges
Multiple Chinese vessels and aircraft have been tracked moving around Taiwan in recent weeks as the threat of invasion looms.

He makes a good point about not spreading theories as facts. We don't know for certain that this thing was anymore than a terrible accident. However, based on Sun Tzu we should operate on the assumption that it is an attack until we know for certain that it wasn't. That is prudence. We don't say we know it was an attack when we don't actually know that, but we can assume it was until proven otherwise. Put another way, Reagan said "trust but verify". So if they are claiming it was an "accident" then that is fine, but it behooves us to verify that this is in fact the case.

Trust but verify
Let's consider a few examples:
1. "the vaccine is safe and effective" -- How do you know, let's see the evidence that proves that is true.
2. "the pandemic came from a bat cave and did not come from the Wuhan bioweapons lab" -- How do you know, let's see the evidence that proves that is true.
3. "Masks work" -- How do you know, let's see the evidence that proves that is true.
4. "We need to send $140 billion to Ukraine for their defense" -- How do you know, let's see the evidence that proves that is true.
5. "Jan 6th was worse than 911 or Pearl Harbor" -- How do you know, let's see the evidence that proves that is true.

Thoughts on the April 8th Eclipse
1. We are told from Genesis chapter 1 that these are for signs and seasons, with this term "seasons" meaning appointed times.
2. The nice thing about an eclipse is you know that God did this, man can't. Dreams and visions are definitely susceptible to hucksters and snake oil salesmen.
3. The problem with these signs is reading and interpreting them.
4. Also, signs are warnings taking place before the potential event. For example 2017 had the eclipse followed by the Revelation 12 sign, and yet that was seven years ago. The eclipse went over the US and particularly Washington DC, so it was a warning to the US and yet the US has had relative peace and prosperity for the last seven years. So note that we can have huge Biblical signs that seemingly are not answered for a number of years.
So then how do we interpret these three eclipses over the US: 2017, 2023 and 2024?
1. A solar eclipse is a warning to a nation. If you check human history they have warned of Hitler, of the fall of Babylon, and even Nineveh was warned prior to Jonah showing up.
2. A solar eclipse shows up about every year or two somewhere on Earth, so they are not that rare, it can be a very small warning. However, an eclipse that goes from one end of the US to another (or any other continental country) is much rarer, happening about once every 100 years. That is a much more serious and direct warning. To have three eclipses do that over the US in a seven year time span that writes out the letters "Aleph Tav" (or Alpha and Omega) is unprecedented in human history. What we are looking at here is every bit as unprecedented as the 2017 Revelation 12 sign. As these have both taken place together it should be viewed as an astounding warning from the heavens, from God about some truly major event.
3. The Bible says by the mouth of two or three witnesses let a thing be established. A single eclipse can be a warning that can lead to repentance and the staying of God's judgement as occurred with Nineveh and the preaching of Jonah. Ultimately the destruction did come but it was several hundred years later. In contrast with that we have 4 very powerful, Biblical warnings that are written by God's hand in the heavens and have been given directly to the US. To me this is telling us that this judgement has been established already.
4. What we are seeing is the "writing on the wall" that was described in the book of Daniel. It was the same night that they saw this that Babylon was overthrown. I believe there is a direct reference to what we are seeing here with that event. The US is the corrupt Babylon depicted in Daniel. They were drinking out of the cups from the temple, and today the depravity with sex trafficking of children that goes all the way to the Biden administration and the things they are pushing onto public school can be compared to that.
5. The 2017 eclipse went over seven cities called Salem, which means peace. Since 2017 we have had 7 years of peace. That also should be seen as part of the warning. Yes, judgement is coming, but God also said we would be given seven years of peace.
6. The 2017 eclipse intersects with the 2024 eclipse in a place called "little Egypt" and also over a place where they celebrate the gathering of the vultures each year. People asked the Lord "where" and He said where the vultures gather together, there will the carcass be. Only God could do something like this. So to me "Little Egypt" explains what the warning is, the plagues on Egypt and the Exodus of God's people, while the gathering of the vultures tells us where this will take place.
7. Those two eclipses also intersect over a place called "Rapture, Indiana". If one of the towns being hit by one of the eclipses had been named Rapture, that could be seen as coincidental or a minor point, but when X marks the spot and it has "little Egypt", and "the gathering of the vultures" and "Rapture" that should not be seen as "coincidence" but rather the word of God being fulfilled in your time in front of your eyes.
8. Whereas the 2017 eclipse had 7 cities names Salem, the 2024 eclipse has 6 cities named Nineveh. This tells me you have six years of judgement and opportunity to repent. All six of them are after the eclipse goes over Rapture, so to me this is a reference to the story of Jonah. The people of Nineveh see the fulfillment of this great prophecy concerning a prophet coming to them in a great fish, and for forty days they are told to repent. Forty is a number for testing and trial, just like the tribulation will be. Jonah is a prophet that didn't want to prophesy, just like the left behind saints will be. An event like the rapture or being spit up by a fish is a really excellent help to any evangelistic ministry.
So let's talk about timing
Based on the 2017 eclipse we should have seven years of peace ending around the 9th of Av. Based on the "writing on the wall" we should see Babylon (the US)overthrown the same night (around April 9th). Based on the picture of Jerusalem and the temple being destroyed in AD 70, the siege began in the Spring but was completed on the 9th of Av. It seems to me we should be concerned about a siege beginning with the April 8th eclipse and the US falling August of 2024. Please note the use of the word "concerned". We don't know, but we should certainly be very alert to what is going on.

In 2020 the watchmen were told that Jesus wasn't about to return because you needed the Psalm 83 war first.
Then in October 2023 we had the attack from Gaza and you can see the Psalm 83 attack.
We were also told you can't have the Lord return until the Beast system rises out of the sea. That appears to refer to Artificial intelligence which six months ago we were told would take another ten years to get here. However, they are now telling us we will have the Beast system here in 2024 and we already have neuralink being put into people.
But we were told you have to have the digital currency for the mark of the beast to control what people buy or sell. Last week we were told they hadn't made any decisions about that, something for the distant future. But this week we learn that 30 banks have tested out the digital currency and they are ready to implement it.
In Hosea it says after two days the Lord will return. If the crucifixion and ascension is when Jesus left and two days represents two thousand years it is critical for us to know the year Jesus was crucified. There is very interesting records from China which indicate they saw the astronomical signs that occurred when Jesus was crucified in 31AD. That would indicate that Jesus steps down on the mount of olives in 2031AD.
